ICE threatened to prosecute a woman if she didn’t take down this post. She bravely refused. And now we are all posting it in solidarity because they can’t come for all of us. #CantStopUs #HandsOffOurFreeSpeech

I'm not sure what the solution is. A disaster was barely averted. But the laundering of fringe conspiracy theories through legal academia is something our community has to squarely confront. Otherwise, legal academia becomes the handmaiden for authoritarians, cranks, and nihilists.

About Trump v. Barbara: Do not give the Court and the CJ credit for reading and upholding the Constitution. It's a travesty that this is not a unanimous decision... it's also a travesty that the Court let this question percolate for a year, giving credence to a crank theory of citizenship.

5/ The vote on the constitutional question - the 14th Amendment - was only 5-4. Frankly, I'm shocked. So many of us underestimated how much Kavanaugh & Gorsuch care about historical evidence - and whether they even read the briefs. It has been a disastrous week for the Roberts majority's legitimacy.

"Today, the majority replaces 90 years of proven, workable practice with a half-baked theory of executive power that is simultaneously all encompassing yet also subject to neces sary but undefined exceptions. The one thing that does ap pear to be clear going forward is that chaos will follow."

This might be the most telling sentence Gorsuch ever wrote: "The ability to judge disputes in-house remains, but now the house is white."

absolutely bonkers that Roberts wrote two opinions, released on THE SAME DAY, reaching contradictory results and he doesn't even bother to acknowledge it in either majority opinion.

hmmm. Some of these questions were terrible and it was hard not to fight them

Fun Fact: EPA's website lists changes in the earth's orbit, and variations in solar activity as the top two causes of climate change. Does not EVEN MENTION fossil fuels, carbon emissions, or any anthropogenic drivers. 🤡 www.epa.gov/climatechang...

Reporters, I am begging, when you write about a court order, PLEASE link to the order in your story! This is an otherwise excellent article about the lawfare against Trans kids. Thank you for covering this important topic. (link to order in comments) gothamist.com/news/judge-t...

Tech CEOs in 2026: ‘We spent billions to hopefully one day have an ai that can make people feel like it’s portraying real emotions for tv, but we need way more money to do it’ Jim Henson in 1955: ‘yeah so I stuck some ping pong balls to a bit of old felt and called it Kermit’

Spending my summer writing about this. Downside is that I am angry all day, every day.

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks DOJ from seeking NYC trans care information via grand jury subpoena. Judge Failla's temporary restraining order is the first such ruling in DOJ's recent escalation in its effort to go after gender-affirming medical care for minors. Today, at Law Dork:

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

Vought is working really hard to kill poor and sick people around the world. It's his mission in life. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...

Not being able to get along with Europe’s one fascist leader because she’s a woman kinda gives the whole game away

It was a good day

His name may not be on the Kennedy Center anymore, but it's still in the Epstein Files over 38,000 times.

Joyce (as though he were talking about the state of politics in the US today) "People could put up with being bitten by a wolf but what properly riled them up was a bite by a sheep" Happy Bloomsday everyone!

This is my fave.

They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

Incredible - dramatic improvements in air quality in London are linked to a measurable impact on Londoners' health: 9.3% drop in heart-related emergency admissions 5.1% drop in hospital admissions of all illnesses and health conditions Cleaning up our air protects our future.

Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID.

@sonicmega.bsky.social thank you for taking the time to be so kind to my shy, neurodivergent kid today at the Fishkill con event. The Danganrampa image you pulled out and personalized meant the world to him!

Send help! Does anyone know this poem?

This did not age well…. Pro tip: just because you don’t understand something doesn’t make it wasteful or fraudulent

Having a #Poetry emergency! Trying to find a poem I half-remember. I "think" it was by Wislawa Szymborska and was a series of versus about animal mating habits (If I was a __ and you were a __ , you would __) format. Ended with the human narrator getting ice cream and watching the sunset.
