Part of what's great about this is how Hunter Hess tried really hard to not go into specifics but Trump (1) deduced (correctly!) that any reference to things that aren't "good" or "moral" must mean him and (2) decided he needed to elevate it with some bonkers response. Great work, Mr. President. 🫡

haha. realizing my affinity for unlikely cross-species animal friendships has a counterpart (that is, discomfort with unlikely cross-species exploitation).

Big fan of dogs in coats (and especially with a little hood). But is that . . . sheepskin? And why does that feel so unsettling?

208. The Fifth Circuit Jumps the Immigration Detention Shark Late Friday, two of the nation's most right-wing circuit judges adopted an odious legal claim that district court judges from across the country (and ideological spectrum) have overwhelmingly rejected

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

In the canon of "awful SCOTUS decisions of the Trump Era," Trump v. Hawaii in 2018 should probably rank higher.

Maybe not as consequential as Trump v. U.S. or Trump v. Anderson, but the Chief Justice's yawning indifference to Trump's bigotry helped set the stage for everything that's come since...

This is not your father's accordion music.

(Very cool; thanks.)

Sorry, what's "PT" mean here?

Right?!

100%. Credit to the freshman college reporter there.

This is insane. Under absolutely no circumstances should a prof ever discuss the physical appearance of a student in a rec letter! I can’t believe I even have to say that!

All of this.

And Le wasn't the only "volunteer" attorney there. Two of the (illegally held) petitioners are being repped by an attorney who works at Climate Defense Project (which, I'm guessing, doesn't specialize in immigration).

Read THEIR remarks at the end of the hearing; far more powerful.

Yes. Yet somehow this guy's emails unlocked a new level for me.

This is truly horrifying. And the problem is not the "language" that he used (per Yale spox). This guy seems to be actively endangering students.

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."

This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.

Jay’s right, except I don’t think they’re really that “deluded.” They have a decent grasp on reality and are acting rationally to ensure their nominations don’t get pulled. Even if that requires debasing themselves. This performative delusion is more craven than authentic delusion.

Cue impeachment proceedings for fraudulently bolstering academic credentials of close family members.

ICE agent wearing skull mask that is usually associated with the neo Nazi atomwaffen group

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

And the hot pursuit doctrine… and the conflation of lacking status and unlawful entry… and…

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

Note the antisemitic attack on Garber in the middle of Trump's midnight rant (which, it's worth remembering, is attempting to extort a massive payment from Harvard to settle Trump's purported "antisemitism" investigation).

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half.

ICE agents took her mother when she went to work, trying to make money for diapers.

Her 16-year-old and Bri, a local mother of two, saved that baby's life. @chabeli.bsky.social tells their story

Sorry, haven’t thought through this properly but… doesn’t accepting unitary executive theory support the conclusion that no attorney for the defendant could appear without a significant conflict? (That’s probably true apart from UET, but seems moreso true if IRS is, effectively, Trump.)

There's the ad. Bernie needs to run again in 2028, and just make every ad this email.

ABA Model Rule 3.3 - (a) A lawyer shall not knowingly: (1) make a false statement of fact or law to a tribunal or fail to correct a false statement of material fact or law previously made to the tribunal by the lawyer;

Sometimes a lawyer inadvertently makes a misleading or false statement to a court. (I have.) There is a thing you're supposed to do in such circumstances.

28 U.S. Code § 1657 - Priority of civil actions

Totally fair. And judges that AREN'T prioritizing habeas actions are actually violating federal law (but that's a separate gripe of mine).
