Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official

When I say that cops should be subject to the exact same standards of civil and criminal liability as any random person off the street would be in the same circumstances, I get told that if that were the case, nobody would sign up to be a cop. Which says something about people who become cops.

As much as I appreciate this order, it does seem wrong. “A decision of a federal district court judge is not binding precedent in either a different judicial district, the same judicial district, or even upon the same judge in a different case.” Camreta v Greene, 563 US 692, 709 n7 (2011).

Everyone thought bari would be bad at her job but I haven’t heard this many people talking about a 60 minutes segment in years

Don’t talk to the FBI. Even if you’re a Congressperson.

Republican 2025 platform: kids only need one doll and zero food.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it. The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Utah: We are creating literal concentration camps for the homeless. NYTimes: We’ve gotta fairly report on both sides of this valid debate. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

The assault is horrifying on its own, but then there's the other agent shouting "...or else you're next" while another fixes their face shroud.

This was a classic Scalia move. In exclusionary rule cases, he would talk about all the wonderful civil remedies available. In the civil remedy cases, he would create as many procedural and substantive obstacles as possible to ensure plaintiffs couldn't win.

The shadow docket orders don't even tell District Court judges what to do going forward *in that case*. If Judge Frimpong gets another request for an injunction on DHS, she should just rule the same way again. It's not like SCOTUS has told her otherwise, this is the entirety of their order.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

If any of you are getting pro bono hours doing work for the commerce Department, you should die of embarrassment and shame

I’m sorry but I refuse to stop laughing at “one of whom was doing a wheelie”
