Opinion Editorial Board The liberal judicial 'resistance' lives A federal court exceeds its role by second-guessing Congress on funding Planned Parenthood.

Once again I am calling on @postopinions.bsky.social to byline the editorials ascribed to the editorial board, because readers should be able to make fun of the specific person who wrote this dogshit and thought it was smart www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Judges and prosecutors at the International Criminal Court are trying to live and work under the same US financial and travel restrictions brought against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Osama Bin Laden.

There is no good reason these committed human rights lawyers should have to live like this. The folks who used to talk about American moral leadership in the world should be mortified.

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social piece by @profsecchi.bsky.social! Late to posting it here but this piece is really a must read on how the USDA counts- or miscounts- farmers, how this came about and why it matters.

so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country.

like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*

Something else I missed from today.

Jamie Raskin, the judiciary ranking member, voted to advance impeachment articles.

I don’t think there’s a way to tell what a chatbot said on a given date in the past, if they’re constantly updating. I mean “second strike” wasn’t even a common term until after this strike.

Oh man, I stayed up all night to watch that and started crying when McCain talked to a few no voters. And then he voted, and whoo boy, I knew it was a big win.

not that the punishment fits the crime, really. the moral is more fuck that short sighted ghoulish motherfucker.

Here’s a more expansive look at the alignment of fossil fuel operatives and nuclear power proponents to crush renewables that I tounched on in my big piece today. ☢️

Great reporting @bloomberg.com team!

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.

Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.

Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

‘Tough on crime’ policies are causing Indigenous people to die in custody

More First Nations people have died in custody in the past year than in any since 1980. It’s the inevitable result of policies that flout evidence of what would help.

The image that won’t go away A photo taken in 1985 has resurfaced this week. Kelly Grovier looks at the power of a figure pushed to breaking point.

Another handbag for justice. Another purse against fascism. The famous clobber-a-Nazi image from Sweden 40 years ago.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

🚨10 years after Paris:
As far as the recent past is any indication of the future, I don't expect we will see the 3-year average going down below +1.5°C much ever again...

Even for me, this is pretty in the weeds, but the shift in tone in SCOTUSblog's coverage since Sarah Isgur and The Dispatch took over—more deferential to the Court, more reverential of the justices as celebrities, more credulous and stenographic across the board—has been...notable

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

NEW: Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) responds to President Trump claiming he has pardoning Tina Peters on state charges:

"No President has jurisdiction over state law nor the power to pardon a person for state convictions. This is a matter for the courts to decide, and we will abide by court orders."

Someone planted a chip and the skin won’t heal.

🎶 It’s beginning to sound a lot like gutter racism …

Be careful who you dehumanize and what permission structures you create for bigotry. Because social media isn't a silo, and judges and attorneys read and internalize what people say.

It's impossible to dehumanize anyone without dehumanizing all of us.

I don't talk much about the Palestinian rights cases that I'm doing. (Yes, I have cases related to the genocide, and discrimination against Palestinian Americans. Most are pro bono. People get evicted and arrested just for being Palestinian.)

But I will say this.
