As Charlie Kirk said, trans rights are human rights.

Charlie Kirk should not have been murdered for using his words to spread hate and bigotry and divide this country. In death he should not be sanctified for a life used to inspire people's worst demons to target the marginalized.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

I love this reminder, especially when the news is so very bleak.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

I can’t believe doing nothing but in the most annoying way possible isn’t working www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think

Keyed-up cops and military told to "subdue crime" in a place where there is not actually that much crime will be more likely to view any and all actions *As Crimes* in order to meet the expectations they hold, and certain people they've been taught to view as inherently criminal will bear the brunt.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social if you have time and the inclination sir, will you please let us know what you think about Governor Newsom’s suit when he gave his “wake up America” speech? Thank you.

And then his problem is going to become everyone’s problem. What an absolute evil clown.

Just to hammer this in: I don't know of an example in US history of comparable *in-person humiliation* for a US president. And of course for the country. Trump will soon realize how visibly he was "owned." In view of the whole world.

Her statement is incredibly powerful.

@badlawyerpod.bsky.social Please please please do a deep dive on the Paxton divorce. This is the mess we need, nay the mess we deserve given the terrible state of the world right now. TIA for considering; love the pod!

This is some weird shit

RT if you love boobs or if you think ICE should be abolished

What could possibly go wrong?!?

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

This is so true.

Amen.

Cory Booker

Historians can debate why other great powers wane or implode but in our case it will because a handful of chuds and a toxic billionaire have decided to destroy every good thing that powers our national advantage and forward momentum

Just signed the petition for Chuck to step down. chng.it/DYvsxz9XqD

This is terrifying.

We are so far beyond “pick your fight,” or “wait to fight another day.” The fight is now — facism or no facism. Any pol who doesn’t understand that and doesn’t fight needs to go.

No wonder he isn’t fighting back and is trying to make sure other Ds don’t fight either. They’re just two old buddies trying make sure they and their rich friends keep getting richer. It’s disgusting.

New from me: radleybalko.substack.com/p/three-thin...

The fascism and white supremacy and hateful and relentless bullying of all kinds of people who just want to be left alone to live their lives in peace is obviously what matters most, but also these people are so very dumb and incompetent. And weird.

I know the political rhetoric has changed but my god these people are WEIRD.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

I still do not want to start down a The Lawyers Are Our Resistance Heroes path, but credit where it’s due, that’s a bar. Guy really got to publicly quit with a “couldn’t be me bitch,” may we all get to do something half as satisfying someday www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/n...

I didn’t think he’d actually do it…

If this is isn’t corruption and a violation of the duties and ethical obligations of a federal prosecutor, why doesn’t Bove or Bondi put their name on it and file it?

Yes, we let a rich idiot nobody elected destroy the entire government, but it was that or make rich people pay taxes so that poor people could go to the doctor

nuclear annihilation is a novel way to pay for tax cuts for oligarchs

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

Has Cory Booker explained to the dem leadership what a ratio is yet?

No Chuck, I'm worried about the fact that a deranged, unelected, drugged-up fascist billionaire has taken control of the federal government's payment systems and sensitive data and you're here talking about tomato prices.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Never shoulda stopped calling these freaks weird

I want you all to remember that lawyers have a choice. We are not all the same. I want you all to take note of those in the legal profession who choose to construct technocratic legalistic arguments to uphold racism, fascism, and inequality. And also note those lawyers who stand up to them.

I did need a picture of a baby giraffe.
