The Originalism Trap: How Extremists Stole the Constitution and How We the People Can Take It Back How Extremists Stole the Constitution and How We the People Can Take It Back

I'm halfway through @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social 's The Originalism Trap and am enamored with it. It teaches about the Court's past decisions, originalism's flawed roots, and offers real hope and optimism for the future. Let's not suffer today's originalist fools!

They talk and act exactly like Nazis in pursuit of the exact same objectives as Nazis using the exact same tactics and rationales as Nazis but it would be wrong to call them Nazis until they grow the little mustache.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.

Movie description of the B horror move Death PhD. Gawdawful movie.

Now this is a movie plot!!! Someone understands grad school.

OK, so we watched as China's emissions flatlined, and then stirred in our seats as as they began to fall. With what looks like a 0.3% decline in 2025, is it time to call peak emissions for the superpower? If so, it’s the climate story of the century.

i love how even our wildest characterizations of them, in previous years, was completely accurate

like "DEI is when the mere presence or mention of somebody than a straight white male" was played for laughs, a reductio ad absurdum, not THAT many years ago

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

No one who wears this should feel confident of getting home with their glasses (or face) intact

these people didn't simply die . they suffered in pain from treatable ailments, then died as a result of treatment being withheld

Day 16. The ship is wrecked. We will be stuck on the island. The food is gone. The water finished. We pray for rain.
The buried rot, but some flesh may still be good. We'll wash the bodies, ask God for forgiveness & eat what we can.

We will burn the peanut butter flavored protein powder for heat.

Popular fronts do take a toll on the molars. Better than the alternative of course.

The year is 2015. China is getting richer and more powerful every year, but America has three trump cards: universitities, biomedical research, and immigration.

Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

“8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Does this curse also count for the tech bros who illegally used books written by me and countless others to help AI annihilate the world? I fucking hope so.

This is the same as not feeding them at all. Would judges stand idly by while DHS locked children in a starvation oubliette and walked away? Well this is that; it's unconstitutional and if the only remedy is releasing all of them then it must be afforded.

read this whole thread. Read till the end

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Here's a hidden secret of doorbell cameras, as revealed by Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping. They're recording even when you don't know it, and sending video to company servers even when you don't pay

Pleased to report that I just took home a bronze in the Milan-Kundera Olympics for the relative bearability of my lightness.

done petit multiple times and grand once and it is one of the best manifestations of community you can experience - and in my experience people on a jury take the responsibility seriously, and try hard to work collegially which is beautiful in and of itself

& it isn't so easy to render judgement!

If you have any information about this whatsoever, I’m marisakabas.04 on Signal

Please do let us know if that changes. The county is dear to many of us, and we will help if we’re able.

Investigators wrangled video from Nancy Guthrie’s Google Nest camera out of ‘backend systems’ It’s not yet clear how the FBI collected the video. Experts said in some cases it’s possible to collect data from the complex infrastructure that has enabled cloud-based cameras.

This has a lot of implications well beyond this case. Many people put these devices in/outside their homes to see who is at the door or watch their pets becuase they think it’s livestream only and not recorded.

If companies like Google and Ring have magic backend data, we need to know about it.
