When the Federal government cannot find its way to promptly *investigate* murder, then the States have to step up - doesn't matter if there are longstanding norms to step on/over to do it. Has to be done, insurrection act bluster notwithstanding.

Under some weird interpretation of the 10th amendment, the state of Minnesota cannot get wholesale injunctive relief against this clown-show-down.

I have to go look at that opinion again, because continuing this is unreal in the manner of a making purse out of a sow's ear at law.

Trump bought up copies of his own book in order to make the NYT best seller list.

It's their election strategy.

It's been pretty clear for a long while now. (Their BigData Analytica models seem to be flashing green on it...)

It's a lot more than just mainstreaming the alt-right with "88 generals are endorsing me" (2016 campaign).

WTF are they clapping and smiling about, let alone waving a U.S. flag?

Seriously, what the hell does anything going on at the Olympics have anything to do with these two. Not excellence - Usha's on the Kennedy Ctr Board, right? Not sportsmanship. Not Bowman's Nazi appeal(s). Not freedom or equality

It's amazing that something like the CBC has been caught flat-footed, when they could increase their footprint in the U.S. market (in their national interest) and so on at bargain basement prices. Investment probably only needed until 2028.

So, instead of a higher standard, we have a lower one.

And "CRT" and "DEI" and whatever new name you call it, it's the same "cycle", same song - 'you pardon me', instead of 'pardon me'.

And yet, he's getting away with it, right?

He hasn't taken responsibility. He's made a transparently false excuse.

Kudos to @stephruhle.bsky.social for yelling, "My kids would be expelled."

Thank god someone is finally saying it aloud.

All these pro-forma opinions, like the lack of injunctive relief over the Minnesota deployment, read like not being able to reach the merits. But the 'thing in itself' might not be that thing if it is so stretched an mutilated by Florida Woman, et. al.

maybe, forthcoming? consider:

"Calling it a 'malodorous hotbed of racism', the Governor of New Jersey called for Bedminster to be shut down."

The governors of Virginia and New York are expected to say the same, putting pressure on the Sunshine State.

pop quiz: you do PR for JP Morgan Chase Bank. Do you issue a statement like this or let it ride?

[parody] For me, "aloha" has always secretly meant 'I serve racism'.

I serve at the pleasure of The [now openly] Racist of the United States.

Taking Time Out for Gratuitous Racism

Clarence Thomas, who once declared himself to the nation to be the victim of a "high-tech lynching", must be having a helluva day alongside his wife Ginni "King of Kings" Thomas.
