I like how the fish in the picture is like Yesssss oh fuckkkkkk as he listens to the chorus of Sister Christian

my angry post about this case this morning is now an angry article Roy Anthony Scott was in a mental health crisis and called 911 asking for help Cops came and killed him, & now the Court is casting doubt on whether the cops can be held accountable for his death ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/smith...

Very cool: Rivian sends old batteries to Redwood, who hooks them all up via its special sauce, and now the batteries are helping power a Rivian manufacturing plant! Closed loop starting to come into sight ...

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute. [Hungary will] "have a legal obligation to enforce the ICC rulings and I'm sure [Netanyahu] knows this".

Becoming increasingly radicalized against qualified immunity every time one of these decisions comes down

Big abortion win in PA today - the ban on Medicaid funding is unconstitutional! AND there's a fundamental right to abortion! We won! (Though this Commonwealth Court opinion can be appealed - we'll see what our AG does.)

Yeah. "I disagree with the Court's legal analysis" is one thing, but "the Court isn't using legal analysis to decide cases" is another. The latter is no longer in the realm of law and should not be treated as if it is.

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants. He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We are not hearing nearly enough about the cruse line situation lmao

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards. Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.

You can also tell that this is all just words to cover over gutter racism and not about cultural practice at all, because if the question was productive culture, they'd be praising the Springfield Haitians as a beautiful example of assimilation and adaption, not partnered with ICE to destroy them.

I mean, of course that’s what happening. It’s been clear the whole time

Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

I am not kidding at all when I say that every Democrat with a microphone should mock JD Vance every chance they get between now and 2028. Call him weird and feckless. Laugh at his eyeliner & dumb beard. Talk about the nazis & freaks he follows on Twitter. *Brand* him.

I feel like "anti rich current reaches crescendo" is when the guillotine operators are getting OT not when you find a way to levy a new small tax on an undertaxed upper class

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

A Massachusetts bill would require judges to reduce someone’s sentence or offer pretrial diversion if they find that the person’s actions were directly related to their experiences of abuse. Advocates hope lawmakers can move it forward this year.

After Namibia implemented gender quotas for candidates from its dominant political party, women jumped from 21% to 41% of members in parliament. The real shift in public opinion came only after women took office and became visible as leaders.

Every article like this is trash, mealy-mouthed cowardice. They talk of "lesser known stories" and how the effort to tell them is "under pressure."🤡 They don't say what is plain to see: "Racist people don't like Black stories being told, and so make active efforts to erase them from history."

There's long been a type of savvy, conservative-coded con man who's especially adept at siphoning the money of AARP-eligible suburban and rural white Christians into their own, city slicker pockets. But the link between the grift and the right wing politics has rarely been as tight as it is today.

the us federal government has what i can only describe as “poster’s sickness” where every problem is viewed solely through the lens of maximizing social media engagement and you are constantly saying shit that absolutely worsens your physical, material condition

Israel killed an average of at least 47 girls and women per day in Gaza. A new analysis published by the United Nations shows that more than 38,000 girls and women were killed in between October 2023 and December 2025.

well yea but the markets are closed so who cares

I’m not a lawyer, and I’m exhausted, so I can’t say exactly which part of the constitution forbids it, but if the constitution does not forbid the president from suing the government in his personal capacity and then ordering the government to settle in his official one, it forbids nothing.

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

Friends! My university is hiring an Asst Professor of Biology and an Asst Professor of History and American Indian Studies. Our students are wonderful, my colleagues are great, we do good work. Please share! Happy to answer questions :) heritage.edu/wp-content/u... heritage.edu/wp-content/u...

Journalists live for details. Nailing that the FBI Director allegedly ties one on at a club called "The Poodle Room" is the stuff of dream reporting.

While Patel’s camp will wave this off as the coordinated whining of disgruntled FBI holdovers, the sheer volume of people willing to talk makes that defense hollow. It's a lot of effort to coordinate NINE people to lie; takes very little if they're all just describing the chaos they witness daily.

A federal judge in Illinois today ruled that the Trump administration improperly coerced Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking apps in violation of the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“actual malice standard is now what some would call a legal lay up.” “actual malice standard is now what some would call a legal lay up.” “actual malice standard is now what some would call a legal lay up.” “actual malice standard is now what some would call a legal lay up.”

The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4. Happy Friday

A great deal of the reason why things aren’t so very much worse right now is because there is almost no overlap in the Venn Diagram that represents Trump’s Stooges Trying To Do Evil Shit in one circle and People Who Know How To Do Shit in the other circle.

throwing flashbangs at the fbi director to rouse him from a drunken slumber

ANOTHER death in ICE detention.

NEW: We obtained the government’s settlement agreement with Michael Flynn. As previously reported, DOJ agreed to pay $1.25 million to settle Flynn’s claims that he was wrongfully prosecuted. But docs suggest a separate settlement could be in the works: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/u.s....

Eastman was not disbarred for making bad constitutional arguments, nor because he represented Trump, nor because he challenged the results of an election, all of which are allowed. Eastman was disbarred because he knowingly lied to the courts with deliberately false factual representations.

JUST IN: Judge McElroy, a Trump appointee, continues DOJ’s unbroken losing streak in efforts to obtain state voter rolls. She calls it a “fishing expedition.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We live to fight another day! A victory tonight—as we killed a backroom deal Johnson and the WH cut to extend FISA authority for five more years. Dropped in the middle of the night. We killed it on the Floor. But, it will be back. So we must keep fighting!

Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. www.wired.com/story/madiso...

We should be learning from other countries...

NEW: “We see, just, use of excessive force after use of excess force,” said Christy Lopez, who spent years investigating law enforcement misconduct at the DOJ. “In no scenario is it OK to be pepper-spraying people as you're leaving the scene.” w/ @frontlinepbs.bsky.social
