The claim that the shooter in Minnesota was injured and needed to be treated is undermined by a) he was seen walking away from the shooting, seemingly fine, and b) this is the same line the administration used to justify another DHS killing. Its a playbook. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

Important, and sickening, story of injustice in the US "justice" system.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that would limit the Trump administration's ability to exploit state and local police to carry out mass deportations. Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and protect our communities.

Important analysis!

It may feel like the whole idea of protecting yourself online is too big of an issue to tackle. But we can take small steps to better protect our own privacy and build an online space that feels as free and safe as speaking with those close to us in the offline world. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

fucking yikes! internal movement controls are a sign of an increasing authoritarian state.

Despicable!

The Trump administration has killed nearly 90 civilians at sea and is refusing to release its legal justification for these illegal and immoral strikes. We are demanding answers — transparency can’t wait while more people are murdered by our government.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award. And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

We know everyone is asking for your money this month, but here's a twist: We're NOT asking you to donate in December, we're asking you to spread the word. Help the trans people and allies who don't know Assigned Media's reputation for excellence and originality in trans news find us!

Late last night, a federal court judge issued a ruling temporarily blocking the Trump administration from continuing to carry out indiscriminate immigration arrests in Washington, D.C. www.courthousenews.com/judge-orders...

@chrisgeidner.bsky.social Have you seen this?

I haven't seen anyone else reporting on this great decision. www.durangoherald.com/articles/fed...

NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won. Read @garnethenderson.com in @autonomynews.co

Describing Trump as the "big, blubbery baby man" is perfect!

It’s important that we recognize after all this time that Trump doesn’t believe in the concept of sex crimes. What’s more, he takes the idea of such crimes as a personal affront, an attack on how he has treated women his whole life.

As President Trump threatens to send troops into more cities, Congress must pass the Military in Law Enforcement Accountability Act to make clear that the military shouldn't be used to police people. Safety comes from investing in our communities, not militarizing them.

Didn't we all learn this in grade school?

JFAC! If you believe that, I have some beachside property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.

FUCK!!!!

And here I thought money damages was the exact opposite of irreparable harm. I guess I need to go back and tell my civil procedure professor that he had it all wrong.

Great @gbbranstetter.bsky.social read on how throwing trans people under the bus is not a winning political strategy and in fact the opposite is true. Democrats have an opportunity here to not be craven cowards succumbing to transphobic messaging.

We can only hope!

"Winsome Earle-Sears, the GOP gubernatorial candidate in Virginia this year, spent 57 percent of her advertising funds on anti-transgender ads." It didn't work.

Cogent analysis from constitutional law professor Steve Vladeck on the many defects in yesterday's SCOTUS decision allowing the government to implement its anti-transgender and anti-nonbinary passport policy.

As you said, yesterday SCOTUS "put back into effect a Trump administration policy that requires all new passports to reflect the bearer’s biological sex at birth—even if they are transgender or non-binary," and even if the state has changed the gender marker on a birth certificate. 1/2

BREAKING: SCOTUS lets Trump administration implement anti-trans, anti-nonbinary passport policy. The Democratic appointees, led by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented. The ruling, which applies during litigation, effectively reverses two lower court rulings. Today, at Law Dork:

Guidance on the impact of today's SCOTUS ruling allowing the government to implement its anti-trans passport policy. Unless you have to travel out of the US ASAP, hold off on applying for a new or renewal passport until this case is decided on the merits.

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

I'm doing my best! 🤣

LOLOLOLOL

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani. Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money. That is how we win.

Exactly!

Simply what they deserve!

The Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats are “blatantly unlawful as a matter of U.S. domestic law—and a quickly spreading stain on whatever is left of the executive branch’s commitment to the rule of law.” Me on “extrajudicial killings” in the latest issue of “One First”:

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

If you run into any problems or have questions when casting your vote today, call the Election Protection Hotline.

Our local and state leaders must not voluntarily collaborate with the Trump administration's attempts to target people and groups that the president doesn't like. These types of politically motivated federal investigations make our country less free, and need to be rejected.

Jeffries definitely isn't that future if I have anything to say about it!

Nov 2025 --Fed District Judge Jamal Whitehead rules wide-ranging DOJ subpoena served on QueerDoc, a telemed pediatric care provider, cannot be enforced bec. not part of legitimate investigation. This was one of 20 served last June. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

Wow!

This is such a thorough take down of Bari Weiss and the vapid shill she is for oligarch billionaires. He especially shreds the Free Press over it's coverage of trans issues and the so called whistleblower Jamie Reed. youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ?...

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“A more robust and effective damages regime obviously would not prevent unconstitutional conduct by government officers. But it sure would be an easy way to reduce its frequency—and it would also be a remarkably easy statute to write.” Me in today’s bonus issue of “One First”:
