You've panicked your last disco.

bitch you can't be serious the fragility and pettiness of these people, who aren't content just to strip away people's rights they want to pretend they're Good and Just Doing Law, too, and are deeply offended when people acknowledge otherwise

Sam Alito: It is the worst kind of discrimination to create majority-minority congressional districts and so we are going to kill the Voting Rights Act. Also Sam Alito: There is nothing we can do if the president cancels legal status because he thinks the United States is a white country.

the fundamental double standard in American politics is that any given Democrat is supposed to have an opinion on Darializa Chevalier but no Republican will ever be pressed on Randy Fine, Brandon Gill, or Andy Ogles

one of the things that really gets me about Landor's case is he gave prison officials a *printed copy* of a court opinion and they *threw it in the trash* and violated him anyway by blocking Landor's lawsuit, the Court is confirming the law was worthless garbage ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/lando...

the thing about greenblatt is that this is a dude who watched elon musk give a "heil hitler" and then said "looks like nothing to me." why would anyone take him seriously?

“you’re a world historic mass murderer” is getting to him, huh maybe he shouldn’t have chosen to be a world historic mass murderer

Kurt Vonnegut: In my book I drew an asshole as a cautionary tale Anthropic: At long last, we have created the Vonnegut Asshole

i must not fedpost, fedposting is the me arrester

YOU HAVE BEEN VISITED BY DRONE ZELENSKYY Moscow will burn more but only if you reply "do it again uncle Zelenskyy!" in the next 5 seconds

THE DIP

hey

pete hegseth is engaged in open racial discrimination against black officers. the clear message is that there is no place for black or women leadership in his military

ok ok you win some you lose some

the first truthful thing that has ever come out of this guy’s mouth

Congrats to everyone turning 24 this week who are about to figure out their parents conceived them on 9/11.

this court would authorize all-white primaries if it could find some facially neutral means to do so

difficulty scheduling the follow-up session is also true to its inspirations

I was enjoying the Talarico discourse, do we really have to go back to Platner discourse

Live your life so people don't root for the venemous spider

my favorite erick erickson moment is when he said that his family refused to eat asian food on the anniversary of pearl harbor to honor the tragedy. a reporter reached out to his mom to confirm whether this was true and she was like “i don’t know what the fuck he is talking about”

[clears throat] this is an extremely clear instance of trust in action: part of the Political Magic is getting group X to trust that you're lying when you do slopulism for group Y

Democrats just defeated this bill, then Republicans pulled the War Powers Resolution vote on Iran because they didn't have the votes to defeat it. The measure is privileged in a way that requires it be brought up within a certain number of days, I *think* that will mean it comes back in early June.

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

How in May 2026 is it journalism to treat this like a good-faith "investigation," writing a straight-news lead when all objective evidence is to the contrary — as covered by your own publication? Embarrassing shit, @washingtonpost.com.

Disgusting racism. I’m sick and tired of Republicans getting away with blatant racism. This rhetoric should be unequivocally condemned, not ignored by GOP leadership that’s too afraid to condemn bigotry.  Rep. Kiggans must resign.

you do not, in fact, have to hand it to an anti-Semitic white supremacist who advocated the overthrow of a lawfully-elected government on behalf of a fascist. they do not, in fact, support a peaceful and just resolution for Palestinians and Israelis.

Horse racey tit for tat fun and games coverage like this is why I tried to be very clear, in my article about the Virginia Supreme Court redistricting decision, that this is not just a blow to Democrats -- it's a blow to DEMOCRACY ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Was there ever a hand-wringing WaPo piece on “tree, rope, journalist, some assembly required” or any of the other psycho right-wing memes over the years? I doubt it. It’s only a problem when it’s pointed right.

the median american is extremely resentful about paying taxes for anything at all, and they absolutely hate the idea that anyone might be paid more out of tax dollars than they are.

Unlike Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, & Florida, Virginia put its redistricting referendum up to the will of the PEOPLE. They voted & the redistricting amendment won, fair & square.

This ruling throws out their votes and ignores Virginians’ will.

If we are to be a country of laws not of men, men who proclaim themselves to be the Law incarnate are by definition treasonous and engaged in a conspiracy against the People.

“The incredibly unpopular ruler, whose time is split between insane wars no one wants and building golden monuments and palaces honoring himself, has changed the rules so only his party can win elections” is a story that often ends on a scaffold

You should be mad at the VA Supreme Court, but if this is sending you into panic mode about the midterms you should take some deep breaths and maybe go for a walk. The GOP didn't win today, the fight goes on.

VA AG Jay Jones: "My team is carefully reviewing this unprecedented order and we are evaluating every legal pathway forward to defend the will of the people and protect the integrity of Virginia’s elections."

All for an opinion that hinges entirely on these fascist fucks pretending that they suddenly care so very much about the institution of early voting, in an off-year state legislative election no less

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

guess what time it is ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/john-...

The only way you can say this with a straight face is if you are (a) willfully lying or (b) sufficiently arrogant to think that your opinions are truth handed down on tablets and those who disagree just lack your wisdom. apnews.com/article/supr...

the basic logic of plessy — that the constitution has no bearing on social inequality — undergirds every roberts court ruling on the state’s ability to deal with the effects of racism from parents involved to calais.

yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

shut the fuck up, you hack, nobody believes this shit and that includes the members of the court

i have said this before but the hate you have for citizens united is imo more properly reserved for buckley v. valeo

Let’s refresh: this same court slow-walked the Trump immunity case for how long, again?

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

honestly, reading this is a good reminder of how will has always coasted on being a good prose stylist. every part of this is either false or a huge logical leap. “government-stereotyped minorities?” yeah man, the reason black americans consider themselves a distinct group is *the government*

Ninety-Nine Years of Solitude.

This is what was always especially egregious about Bush v, Gore -- not only did they invent a doctrine out of thin air to hand a presidential election to their preferred candidate, they explicitly refused to apply it to any other case (including the very election whose result they were upholding!)

thank you sam alito for ending the unconstitutional racial discrimination against white conservatives and allowing them to obliterate federal representation for as many black people as they can manage, as the reconstruction congress intended
