Imagine being Vance. Like really do it. Wake up, shower and then kneel down to lick the inner folds of Trump’s ass. Every. Day. No way you’re a functioning human after that.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

Oh fuck. Everyone figured out we’re bad and scary except for us.

You may have seen that 600+ detainees are eligible for release, which is amazing! BUT: you may not know that immigration detainees still have to pay for their freedom-- $1500 bond per person! The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund is raising money to help people get free, please donate: www.mibfc.org

This is going to get spun as a "thermostatic shift" chart, but it should be properly interpreted as a "information environment is broken" chart. In 2024, voters didn't know what Trump would do, and so they shifted towards him based on vibes. Now they are finding out, and they hate it.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

A lot for the kids today. For my Intro to Law class. Students believe with their hearts and souls that the appeals process rights the wrongs of trial courts. Sorry guys…

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

For my Intro to American Politics class. Exhibit A that people don’t tell their party what’s important, the party tells the people. Aka no one believes or knows anything.

For my 221 students: judicial oversight remains a contradiction in terms.

Why are disciplinary records kept private? Police unions make confidentiality a huge priority, letting collective bargaining agreements lapse for years, if needed, until jurisdictions agree to keep these records locked up.

One of the things I most resent is knowing who Ezra Klein is. For the exact reasons below: he knows nothing, has no expertise, is clinically wrong for living. For a person who has worked hard to develop expertise and has struggled to be taken seriously, Ezra Klein is a living nightmare.

For my intro to law class.

every couple of days the official white house website says "we want to kill you. we want to destroy everything you love. we are the living incarnation of death and we shall sweep life from this earth like an unstoppable whirlwind" and its like oh. ok. do i still have to pay taxes

The first version of “Disco Elysium” contains about a million words; “Final Cut” has even more. Gabriel Winslow-Yost parses some of them in our new issue and turns to the novel the game was built upon: Robert Kurvitz’s “Sacred and Terrible Air.”

Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire. Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*

Dear ppl who are complaining that this image "has no alt text": the image is CLEARLY DESCRIBED IN THE SKEET. THAT IS ALT TEXT. Using the specific Bluesky mechanism to add an alt="" attribute to an image is ONE WAY of doing image description but some of y'all treat "alt text" as a magic incantation.

"45% of AI-generated news is wrong, new study warns" ... followed by an AI summary button. Perfect. No notes. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

"In order to defeat fascism, we must embrace many factions: liberals, centrists, conservatives, white nationalists, transphobes, misogynists, fascists, "

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts. #NoKings

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

Happy Columbo’s Day

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

Portland, I love you.

I’ve called 2 places home in my life: Chicago & Portland. Every street-corner view of people being disappeared from these places knocks the wind out of me. But seeing Chicagoans out in full-force, & Portlanders in animal costumes mocking the SS-I’m SO proud these places have been/are home.

Portland, I love you.

I know invoking Latin terms can be a bit esoteric, and "dementia" is fine and accurate, but I think there's real merit in zeroing in on the relevant legal concept: he is non compos mentis. Not just that he's a batty old man, he is debilitated in a concrete legal sense, fit for conservatorship.

For my Women & Law class. It’s shocking how little the average college students cares about state surveillance. Even the cliché purple-haired anarchists are like “If you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t worry about it.”

Just read the whole damn thing that goes into the very depressing state of the numbers and the math that isn't mathing, but this is a very succinct representation of a specific type of feneric Executive (Dys)Function:

Abolish ICE. Trials all around. Truth & Reconciliation required: those are the only conceivable ways forward.

19thnews.org/2025/09/poll... 76% of Democrats oppose bans on trans healthcare for kids. mainstream Dems neglecting to mount any kind of opposition to them is unacceptable

Trump designates “thinking for a second” a terrorist activity.

I understand that defeatism is capitulation but, I’m going full Joker the next time someone gets 1000 likes for telling fearful people to “touch grass”.

John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave But his soul goes marching on

From Feb 4th 1939

This is the kind of shit that gives me a bad case of doomerism.

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

John Solomon’s Informing America set out to create an echo chamber to shape public opinion. It’s working.

The EEOC and its inner-workings were always a big part of how I teach employment law. This year, it’s going to be a different class. SO MANY people believe that if your employer mistreats you, you can sue. And so often, if the EEOC isn’t on board, you really really can’t.

The networks Stephen Miller intends to dismantle are "criminal justice reformers." Law enforcement is so thoroughly politicized to the right, they won't even push against this.

For the last 50 years, what Americans heard about government economic policy was similar regardless of education. This started to break down during Trump's first term. Now it has completely separated.

For my intro to law class this quarter

I know it’s tempting to decry political violence, but I’d just like to point out that Charlie Kirk is not a politician, he’s just a loudmouthed bigot grifter asshole.

Twitter is owned by a neo-Nazi, the LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are owned by pro-Trump billionaires, and CBS News will soon be run by a far-right Likud extremist. American media still has a liberal bias problem.

This mural in Chicago was painted over. #Chicago
