This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

On June 6, 2025, the federal government initiated immigration raids across the City of Los Angeles. Protests swiftly followed, and some individuals involved in those protests were unruly and even violent. State and local law enforcement responded. The following day, President Trump ordered that members of the California National Guard be federalized, and thereupon assumed control of those forces.
At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not.
His actions were illegal-both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dang! One of my most memorable Coachella gigs was seeing Stone -- he actually didn't really play anything and just told rambling stories and showed up like 6 hours late. Still enjoyed having been there. The new ?uestlove documentary about Stone is worth a watch

the basic rule for analysis of Trump is that your clever IR explanation is wrong and the stupidest, most petty explanation of his behavior is right

my favorite album of 2024: Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Past Is Still Alive #bestalbumsof2024 i’m not familiar with any of their other records, but couldn’t stop listening to this with its rich lyricality about coming to terms with one’s past and present, and for being enjoyably catchy

my 2nd favorite album of 2024: Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us #bestalbumsof2024 #icecreampiano last few VW albums took time to grow on me, this was immediate and felt smart, complex, urgent, and had rhythm that hits hard. Couldn’t be more into it

my 5th favorite album of 2024: The Cure - Songs of a Lost World #bestalbumsof2024 #thecure I thought I had to find some cool new acts to make my list more exciting, but then heard the new Cure and was like β€˜whatever’. Put another dinosaur on my list. It’s classic Cure intensified, almost industrial

my 8th favorite album of 2024: Arooj Aftab - Night Reign #bestalbumsof2024 #aroojaftab wiki says this album is β€˜Pakistani folk music and bebop jazz,’ a combination only Aftab knew we needed, I guess. And she was right!
