THE BIG MAN LOOKS FOR THE ICING ON ONE BIG CAKE, EAGLES HANG ON

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Because, based on the Bivens cases he's heard, it certainly doesn't seem like he views damages as a viable remedy.

Maybe be believes that (1) There's some way to get past the Lyons problem (class action, organizational standing, etc.); (2) Injunctive relief should be available for excessive force claims once you can clear the first hurdle?

So, the Trump decision from the First Department Appellate Division. Hoooooo-leeee shit is this decision a mess. It also uses a procedural mechanism I've never seen before, very cleverly. Long story short is that this is a decision specifically designed to be appealed. 1/x

I think Justice Jackson may have already diagnosed the problem:

Charlie Kirk didn't deserve to be murdered, regardless of how vile his beliefs were. But the biggest newspaper in the country publishing an article upholding his career as doing politics "the right way" is really highlighting a moral rot in our politics that goes way beyond the politicians we elect.

"Obedience must of course be secured for the command of a court. . . . But courts should be explicit and precise in their commands and should only then be strict in exacting compliance. To be both strict and indefinite is a kind of judicial tyranny."

In Louisiana, Some Court Officials Get Paid to Evict - Bolts Latoria George’s home was in bad shape. The apartment in Baton Rouge, where she’d lived for four years, had no heat and no smoke detectors. The mold in her bedroom... Read More

Seriously wild story: Louisiana officials called “justices of the peace” can pad their own wallets by allowing evictions to proceed.

@delaneynolan.bsky.social mentions one guy who made *$255,000* in a single year mostly off eviction fees.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Restrictions on repro rights and citizenship are historically related. Comstock was enacted during a nativist fervor and defended as a means of bolstering White population growth. Not long after Comstock, the exec branch decided US-born children of Chinese workers weren't birthright citizens.

Good Afternoon from your Super Bowl Champion, Philadelphia Eagles.

GO, and I can't stress this next part enough, BIRDS

State constitutions matter greatly, folks.

As an Eagles fan, I want to Cowboys to miss the playoffs, but to win enough games that they don’t have a high draft pick.

There's only one federal judge that I hope finds this account!

My dream of Justice Alito seeing all of my shit talking on twitter is becoming more and more realistic every day

Love the irony of this judge delivering the ultimate "here's what's wrong with having an independent judiciary" moment while speaking at the Independence of the Judiciary event

He's the foremost expert on the First Sail doctrine, a true IP king

We need to be the change we want to see in the world (by flooding this site with Jeb Boasburg memes)
