Supreme Court lets Noem end legal status for many Venezuelans in the U.S. The majority gave virtually no reasoning. The Democratic appointees objected, but only Justice Jackson wrote: "[Y]et another grave misuse of our emergency docket."

Tonight, at Law Dork:

something something political violence

Reading the replies to this is amazing. Looks like a lot of people forgot that Mitch McConnel gummed up everything for years when the GOP was the minority party.

"I never stood with Bibi."

The current right wing narrative is that a trans person had to and did narc out their friend to a death penalty offense because
Kash Patel's FBI was incompetent to find Charlie Kirk's killer themselves, and bc of that, Stephen Miller gets to arrest trans people.

there is nothing more american than news of a political shooting being interrupted by news of a school shooting

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

U.S. Suspends Visas for Palestinian Passport Holders, Officials Say The move will stop, at least temporarily, travel for medical treatment, attending university, visiting relatives or conducting business.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel.

if anyone has more videos of eric adams getting booed at the nyc pride parade today please show them to me. i’ve only seen it from three angles, i know there’s more.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping.

None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey.

Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work.

It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

SHUT. IT. DOWN.

A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism.

Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's *you* on the ground.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Just in: Texas' former solicitor general has left the AG's office amid sex misconduct allegations and a lawsuit outlining his apparent, months of detailed disclosures to colleagues about his sexual obsession with watching an asteroid anally rape the agency's No. 2 attorney in front of his kids.

Tesla Starts Accepting Cybertruck Trade-Ins – According to Tesla, a Cybertruck Loses $35,000 Over 6,000 Miles ($5.6 Per Mile) Tesla has reversed its policy barring Cybertruck trade-ins. A Cybertruck owner says Tesla offered him $65,400 for his $100,00 truck with 6,200 miles. This means, according to Tesla, a Cybertruck loses...

Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles.

I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc.

Luigi Mangione's attorney Karen Agnifilo said during a hearing that the Manhattan DA's office informed her that someone listened to an attorney-client call — but it was "inadvertent." "We were just informed by state court prosecutors that they were eavesdropping on all of Mr. Mangione’s calls."

Prosecutors have been illegally eavesdropping on Luigi Mangione’s calls with his attorney.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:
