Any person, any study, any simp.

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

I almost can’t believe this. I spend an absurd amount of time litigating pre-enforcement standing in the 6th Circuit, which makes establishing pre-enforcement standing near impossible. *En banc,* the 6th Circuit just blessed pre-enforcement standing in a culture war case with wafer-thin analysis.

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

🙄 What a fucking joke this guy is.

Reminder for doomers: Trump gets weaker every single day we get closer to the midterms, and vulnerable congressional Republicans are either going to start running away from him post-primary or lose their jobs, weakening him even further. There is no inevitable autocracy.

As a practical matter, criminal “law” is fake. At bottom, it is a bunch of people deciding to make (or not make) discretionary decisions. Sometimes they make them. Sometimes they don’t. And whether they do or not is not a function of the “law.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Anyone who is ok trading one extra hour of sleep for six months of seasonal depression is wrong and should not be trusted.

I have this experience monthly when I explain qualified immunity to someone.

This is my point again that the electorate has no idea of what's actually going on. Not in some ideological way, so you can argue whether it's good or not, just in a fact way.

Is…he advocating for segregation here?

I can’t tell you how many times I have said this: Tennessee is saturated with incompetent government officials who wield vast authority while being constitutionally illiterate. It’s a miracle that shit like this doesn’t happen even more often.

The selection of Garland as AG and his failure to act was about ten bajillion times more consequential than any campaign strategy decision www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

This case underscores how SCOTUS made it impossible to hold immigration cops accountable for the abuses you see in all those videos. A federal task force cop manufactured evidence to put an innocent woman behind bars for two years. Because of SCOTUS-conferred immunity, the case never got to a jury.

I thought they went by “Congressmen”?

It seems overwhelmingly obvious at this point that he has dementia? What are we doing here?

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk. I had it exactly backward.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

Lots more detail in here about this outrageous arrest. The guy has been in jail for weeks now for posting a quote by President Trump.

Hate the likely 9-digit waste involved here, but whatever ballroom comes from this needs to be demolished in 2029 and strapped to ordnance that is shot over the street nearest the Trump library. I don’t make the rules.

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works (15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

So I got qualified for a line of credit, which I did not realize was a public event. Within minutes, I have been spammed incessantly by seemingly every lender in the country. They’ve been going all day. This seems like it should not be a thing?

they are so close to understanding the entire point of trade

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

This is a deeply unserious proposal that would unravel—rather than repair—American democracy. And it’s only because it’s unserious that people can cheer it knowing it will never happen. There are a million meaningful things states can do to resist. This isn’t one. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I spoke on a First Amendment panel at a law school earlier this week. One thing I emphasized is that there is widespread and astonishing ignorance of basic First Amendment law by a huge number of local officials who have arrest and citation authority, many of whom don’t know what obscenity is.

What…is this article? A comically bad write up. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

🚨 Driving drunk with your kids in the car and thinking that is okay because you are an ICE agent answers all the unasked questions.

Just as long as Scrub Daddy gets its due

When you’ve pissed off WeRateDogs so much they’re calling you “fucking losers” on Main you have absolutely lost all merit in the court of public opinion

Next year it’s going to be their law school application personal statements.

Four years to adjudicate a motion to dismiss!

I’m old enough to remember when their biggest fucking grievance was a made-up complaint that Obama did this.

In devastating blow to Nashville’s drug trade, police arrest city’s only low-level weedman with exact change.

Guys those are ONES, FIVES, TENS, and TWENTIES, you do not have to run this shit

States need to start charging ICE officers with state crimes whenever they commit them, which appears to be constantly.

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.   Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Trump straight up murdering people in the Caribbean and the NYT writes this

Yo this is wild AF

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Relatedly, why is no one lamenting the unemployed whalers and milkmen and switchboard operators and lamp lighters? It is of course a net benefit. Among a huge number of other benefits, free trade is consistently the driving force behind global poverty reduction.

That’s my client! Go Aftyn!

If anyone knows any victims of this raid, we’d like to talk to them. Our legal services are all completely free. We’ve got two other cases over ICE raids already. And we just won a Supreme Court case over the FBI raiding the wrong house.
