As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Also they say they won’t have to restrict for everyone, which is just confusing

It feels like they won’t let you in if you don’t verify 😕

Still researching it. People I respect are concerned, which is concerning. What about you?

Um, how did I miss this until now

Is there some sort of orchard war going on that I’m not aware of?

Not that we need a reminder that Fox News is running the country, but

Oregon Sues Trump to Stop ‘Unlawful’ Portland Troop Deployment Read more here.

BREAKING: Oregon & Portland just sued President Trump to block his order sending federal troops into the city.

The plaintiffs call the deployment “patently unlawful” and say it violates the U.S. Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act.

ABSOLUTELY

Oh the irony

So are all the gun nuts in Oregon headed in to defend Portland from the tyrannical government or no

Dang, I so wanted this to be real

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Kyle Griffin on Bluesky: “Breaking: IRVING, Texas (AP) - Nexstar joins Sinclair in bringing Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show back to its local ABC affiliates, ending boycotts.”

It’s official: Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air everywhere — thanks to all of you who took action to defend free speech. Trump doesn’t decide which voices Americans get to hear. Urge your representative to investigate government censorship & FCC Chair Brendan Carr: act.indivisible.org/sign/censors...

Sinclair Ends ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Boycott, Says Its ABC Stations Will Resume Airing Show Immediately Sinclair’s ABC stations will resume airing 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after preempting the late-night TV show in protest over Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's killer.

Sinclair caves! Well done, all! variety.com/2025/tv/news...

sorry didn’t you literally just bomb them in the middle of the ocean and then high-five about it

Not a fan of this new visual design, Apple. Did you delegate to AI? 👎🏻

You know what they call a broken escalator?

A staircase

Protest forms outside ABC6 building, calls for Sinclair to reinstate 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

We did another thing

actually that checks out

I know we’re pretending there aren’t any laws anymore and Trump can just pull whatever sweaty grift he wants now, but what the everloving fuck is this?!

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation.

i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Justice Eddins went even further in a concurrence joined by two other justices. He flamed the U.S. Supreme Court for choosing to "steamroll" the First Amendment's separation of church and state by mandating government support of religion. He wrote: The federal wall cracks. The Supreme Court's recent religious clause cases wreck the relationship between free exercise and non-establishment.... The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary's storied legal minds. Bad things happen unless government and religion are completely separated. Justice Eddins also wrote about something you and I have been talking about for a long time, which is the conservative supermajority making up facts. He called out Kennedy v. Bremerton, the notorious "praying coach" case, writing: "As it often does, the Court repackaged and whitewashed facts to achieve a desired outcome." This is the same point that Sherrilyn Ifill has made on the show about how the record in that case, and so many others, is ignored.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court.

He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Authoritarians always twist “free speech” into a weapon, censoring whoever they fear most.

Trump’s FCC chair Brandon Carr’s flip-flop on censorship and free speech is staggering.
