2/ Even more so, her empathy and graciousness shown to students, advisees, and the general public of anyone that wished to learn or engage with her always shined.

As she studied and wrote on wonder and its power, may she be enveloped in the sublimity of the cosmos and Divine

1/ Helen was the rare philosopher and academic whose curiosity endured the rigors and pitfalls of the field to always seek what she felt was beautiful and important.

Hey @jaywillis.net, @fleerultra.bsky.social , @notalawyer.bsky.social , Josh Blackman is going to do an AMA on May 19 if you wanted the opportunity to lob Qs to gauge how insane he’s gotten

Justice Jackson ends her dissent with a devastating condemnation of the Court's use of the shadow docket and the horror of what's happening here:

I know you’re joking but the law he used fucking did, it was predicated on covid being a health an economic emergency

If the Trump Administration Can Disappear Kilmar Abrego Garcia, It Can Disappear Anyone The White House is asking the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority for a Fifth Amendment pass.

I do not read anything in the Trump White House's appeal to the Supreme Court that would, as a practical matter, prevent the government from legally disappearing *anyone* to a foreign torture prison by "mistake" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

the backstop against this is criminal liability for the president

*hand flying up to earpiece*

Going to precedent from 1930 while ignoring the historical records of independent agencies, such as from Hamilton’s essays and letters, and at the same time ignoring later precedent after that 1930 decision of Humphrey’s Executor and Nixon firing cases is the picture of cherry-picking

A thread on the moment and what it means for feds. The Civil Service Reform Act envisions 3 guardrails to protect civil servants: (1) An Office of Special Counsel to investigate allegations of prohibited personnel practices, (2) the Merit Systems Protection Board to hear cases, and (3) unions. 1/

How was the legal world so woefully unprepared to hold up against fascism? Cutting deals with the devil in only 2 months

Striking how much Judge Henderson’s opinion rises to the moment and emphasizes the historic importance of this while being legally excellent as well, to Walker holding water for the DOJ and just asserting the habeas claim as if it isn’t just a footnote in a monumental case like this

Mind numbing obsession over district process by walker over due fucking process

Pitch-perfect response to Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin from @georgetownlaw.bsky.social Dean Bill Treanor.

It’s always a privilege and honor to be part of the GULC community (and to be Bill’s colleague), but *especially* today.

I don't get this "SSRI eyes" thing. You shoulda seen my eyes before them--lightless and void though continuing to exist as an affront to natural life, like a ramshackle lighthouse who's torch remains ever in the night and storm; unlit.

I went here and everyone knew her

Piccolo from dragon ball is given a Christmas sweater by a woman, but the sweater looks too big. Piccolo transforms into Orange Piccolo to become buffer as fit into it. “MERRY CHRISTMAS PICCOLO OH IM SORRY, I WAS NOT SURE ABOUT THE SIZE” I CAN GROW INTO IT” by @Nekoartdbz

Happy Homidays from Piccolo

V funny that the Supreme Court could potentially release the decision that the ATF can’t regulate ghost guns the same week we learn a CEO was merced with one

4/ this is no encouragement or giving of hope, but my theology is a Divine that suffered like humanity and for humanity.

In your anger, perhaps Christ is holding his arms not for an embrace but telling you “please, trample. It is for the sins of my own creation I have come.”

3/ What if, on that cross, the Divine not only bore our sins, but the evils the Divine itself allowed in the world? What if the Divine allowed its own creation to drive the nail so that the Divine, too, may suffer the evils that It allowed into the world?

Jacob is named Israel after he wrestled the Angel of the Lord on the riverbank; The Divine allowing itself to be grappled with by humans and dragged into the mud.

More controversially from the Christian tradition, Christ suffered on the cross. Love had to be shown in brutality and violence

As a Christian I draw much from the Hebrew texts. God valued people crying out bitterly, angrily, barely clinging to hope in the laments. God doesn’t rebuke Elijah when he says he wishes to die. Gideon, so enraged at God’s abandonment ignores a literal angel, is chosen to lead for this anger. 1/

"We have refused to protect this group from evils who have credible arguments of harm, so why should we protect this other group??"
Evil tortured logic

Alito arguing for mental illness/disability being something that could be conceived of as being protected to invalidate protection for trans people because the Court hasn’t protected disability is crazy-making

Lmao at Biden letting his DOJ investigate him, letting the GOP pressure the judge into rejecting the plea deal they had, only to pardon Hunter in the end

Hurts saying “fuck them refs”

That RPO TE flat with Goedert has been the eagles best play since Siranni got here. We gotta call that almost once a drive

The Eagles used a fullback for a month and the football gods cursed him for it

Dating a poly woman is like keeping a Gremlin—get her wet and she brings more lil freaks around for you
