God forbid a squirrel has a hobby

WHATEVER could have caused this??? It's a MYSTERY.

The way the NYT covers this, while they helped to create a similar moral panic that preceded Skrmetti, might be the thing that drives me mad.

There’s an entire parallel bizarro Bluesky made up entirely of 2017’s top resistance grifters that and possible to be entirely unaware of its existence.

Happy Bisexuality Day to all of my fellow bisexuals!! I love you and I see you 🩷💙💜

“Monday’s order from the Supreme Court contained absolutely no reasoning. … No justice in the majority even bothered to write to justify their action.” www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-tru...

I'm just gonna keep reposting this inane BS from Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence on the roving immigration patrol case from LA.

The Supreme Court could say the president’s allegedly illegal actions must be put on hold while the Court reviews it. Instead, they repeatedly say Trump’s abuses must be allowed to go forward while in dispute. That’s entirely a choice. There’s no basis in law. Made the opposite call with Biden.

The courts will not save us. And even when they try, our thoroughly corrupt SCOTUS steps in to urgently intervene on behalf of the President. SCOTUS belongs to Trump now. We must demand serious court reform to protect our democracy from the naked corruption that has captured the highest court.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

SCOTUSblog is now run by a conservative news outlet, so this should surprise exactly zero humans. no one should expect it to be neutral.

A weird thing about growing up in a hardcore fundamentalist church is that even when I was a believer I didn’t fall for rapture predictions. We took Matthew 24:36 very, very seriously.

OK, we got the Antifa "order," and it's weak. It cites no specific laws. I imagine, this was the drafting process: Boss: Quick, Trump said something, what can we do? Lawyer: Basically nothing, other than enforce laws? Boss: Hmm. Well, make it sound like something, OK? Lawyer: I'll ... try?

It's really something that the conservative justices can, with a straight face, chastise lower courts for "defying" shadow docket rulings & at the same time let the Administration literally defy centuries old unanimous Supreme Court precedent, all before bothering to overrule it.

BREAKING: SCOTUS will hear a case over whether it should overrule Humphrey's Executor — in a shadow docket order that also allows Trump's firing of Rebecca Slaughter as an FTC commissioner to take effect while the appeal is considered, which should not be allowed under Humphrey's Executor.

Dont scoff at AOC potentially running in 2028. People underestimated Obama in 2008. People want change.

Influencers: “Here are ten must-have cozy items you need for the fall” Me: “. . . of democracy?”

Holy fucking shit

FATE OF OPHELIA MUSIC VIDEO?!?

Oh SHIT

Multiple Second Circuit judges sign on to a concurrence that says another judge is making up quotes. "Sure enough, add some words, and the meaning will change" is a withering line.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

There was no vote on this, what are we doing here

This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are. We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social

Just the paramilitary secret police manhandling an opposition political candidate.

real macho man we got here. threat neutralized soldier, good job. looks like you really needed that call of duty max loadout

“They’re going to threaten me with violence if I oppose racism and misogyny” “Yes, ok, and? It’s your fucking job.”

The city just repaved our street and if you have ever tried to drive in Memphis, you understand why I feel like I just won the lottery.

A huge part of what takes this from bad to absolutely unacceptable is that there are 2 ex-dem candidates in the race that were either outright rejected by the dem primary process or avoided it knowing they would be. This is an attack on dem voters themselves

If you're a trans person, you should prepare for the possibility that every groupchat and gathering is compromised by FBI informants attempting to enrage and entrap you into doing something incredibly stupid that they can arrest you for.

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

NEW: Judge criticizes Trump admin, blocks effort to quickly deport children to Guatemala. Judge Timothy Kelly, appointed by Trump in 2017, questioned whether the "plan" was implemented in "good faith" and found that one initial claim "turned out not to be true." This afternoon, at Law Dork:

It being non-unanimous won't change a single vote in the midterms, but that's not why they care. Centrist Dems care because they are always looking for an excuse both (1) to avoid conflict with their GOP friends and (2) to pin blame on progressive Dems if their strategies fail, as they usually do.

BREAKING: Saying that the Trump administration’s explanation for its Labor Day weekend effort to send children to Guatemala “crumbled like a house of cards” upon examination, Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, grants provisional class certification and a preliminary injunction.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

look, Karl Rove and Tucker Carlson can join the resistance, but are you familiar with a penal battalion is?
