well I looked

These agents "don't know how to operate in these situations,” said former DOJ attorney Christy Lopez. Their behavior “is on par with the worst protest policing and just law enforcement that I've seen from any department, even in their worst days." With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.

My 2.5 year old gets SO MAD when someone does a rendition of this song and leaves out this part lol

Yeah geez weird impossible to know I guess

it helps to know that white rich men were always the focus of the founding fathers, others just gained protections as the constitution aged, even voting was for white property owning without debt men, it wasn’t until the 1850s before all white men could vote & it took decades to expand that right

“it calls” indeed is a lie

If it's one thing white people in the US have collectively shown after electing a racist pedophile for the second time, it's that they will defend their delusion that they are good people to the death and threaten anyone with more violence if they don't agree.

The sooner white folks realize that and listen the better but I know I’m yelling at brick walls thatbwill never move so instead I’ll go back to doing my best in my areas to the best of my ability

Celeste is now at rest 🕊️ can you imagine living a moment so completely that you create something like this? excruciating.

Extending TPS for Haiti is the right thing to do, and it's good policy. I'm so proud of our broad, diverse, and bipartisan coalition that made this victory possible. Now, we take this work to the Senate.

We already KNOW how to make super babies, you eugenicist creeps! And it's all the things you fucking fucks are fucking up! THREAD!

if anyone deserves a very slow roasting in the lowest pits of Satan's Torture Chambers it is Leonard Leo.

Missing from this: (1) unconstitutional for SCOTUS to rule on the Obama regulation when it was no longer in place (2) Rs invented a totally lawless “major questions doctrine” to give themselves the power to veto any agency action they don’t like (3) look what Major Questions they let Trump decide

The collusion and corruption happening in broad daylight over a decade and 70+ million Americans nodded “yes, absolutely!” TWICE so now everyone has to die for the whims of flaccid white incels and pedophiles

The article frequently mentions the Republican justices’ urgency to protect the fossil fuel industry…without ever mentioning that multiple Republican justices have deep ties to the fossil fuel industry

The Clean Air Act is one of the most important and most frequently used laws in America, a country where centuries-old laws are still important, and where these same Justices pretend to read the minds of people who lived in the 1780s

Roberts also voted to strike down part of Obamacare in that same case, denying Medicaid to millions of people

The “two men”, Roberts and Obama, did not botch the presidential oath. Roberts botched it. Obama even gave him a chance to correct it in the moment.

When I think about packing light, the first thing I like to eliminate is the garment that takes up almost no space, weighs almost nothing and is essential to personal hygiene

In a major state antitrust investigation, California's Attorney General has unsealed hundreds of records revealing that Amazon illegally pressures its marketplace sellers to engage in price-fixing. While Trump's DOJ lets corporate lawbreakers off the hook, states are still holding them accountable.

An important piece of context that makes this even weirder: Texas has had massive Muslim populations, and for like well over half a century. Between international medical research, oil and gas, and international engineering research they're super well established communities.

If their rich white guy friends had lived in the time of the founders (and owned slaves) how would they want things to go. That's Originalism

how you know you need crooked guys and gal to greenlight “election-related issues” on the shadow docket with #alt

Dems need to get to 52 senators after the midterms. If it's 51 - 49 Fetterman will be worse than Manchin if he doesn't switch parties all together. He will be voting with the gop and allowing Vance to break the ties.

Thinking more about this, I’m struck by just how likely — if not inevitable— it feels that the Dems would absolutely allow Trump to seat a new SCOTUS justice in the final two years of his term despite the precedent the Republicans set. Horrible feeling.

If you have the time and capacity, this is a great place to put your energy into for the next few days. The polling shows that this is going to be a very close vote, and the political implications are obviously huge.

It's only a tough situation if you love bigotry more than God

So, the court cosplaying as economists is fine?

All shadow docket decisions have to be declared illegitimate in a dem administration

How else could his wife get those sweet contracts if she didn’t have his ear?

Oh just John Roberts being the top pet dog of oil barons and other monied scoundrels currently salting every corner of the earth

just Roberts appointing himself wizard-king of the US

Janet Mills is running the worst Senate campaign I’ve seen in my lifetime

If you're a journalist who is still on substack, it is NOT ok.

I am happy to report that I am sane (or at least not obviously deranged).

no one is free until we all are free, again and again and again, at every single intersection. do not let them take anyone’s personhood. You do it to them or you do nothing—and it’s always at your own peril.

“I have to be able to vote to get my rights back,” says Matthew Neumann, a trans man who directs the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas. “Even if I have to get something that misgenders me so I can legally vote them out, I’m going to have to do that now.”

Step aside orange cats

Welp, whoopsie daisy.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

The pope continued, “could I debate Donald? That’s a slippery slope, especially with a man known for ad hominem attacks. I don’t wanna find myself getting motte and Bailey’d or gish galloped by that unserious buffoon. But could I debate him? I’d wipe the floor with that fuck.”

Most striking to me about these memos is the radically different assessment of the harm imposed by the president not being able to pursue his initiatives. Over the last 15 mos., that harm has in numerous cases been treated as almost per se serious and irreparable. Here, it gets no analysis at all.

(Gift Link) Among so many things here, in this entire exchange there's not one word about the text of the law Roberts asserts couldn't possibly authorize Obama's climate change reg, Congress' intent in passing it, past cases - any indicia at all that LEGAL reasoning is involved in its decision.

All 16 pages of confidential memos were expected to remain secret for decades to come, but The New York Times has published them. See the documents here.
