A resident of a nearby building asks a very important question:

“You claim you have warrants, but do you have a warrant to seize the entire building?” she asked the agents. “Do you have warrants to detain the entire building?”

Or: do people lose their rights if they live near undocumented people?

he’s not gonna make it that long but also if an editor told me they were going to spend 20 hours a week on a podcast i would take their section away from them or ask if we even needed that section to begin with

I know invoking Latin terms can be a bit esoteric, and "dementia" is fine and accurate, but I think there's real merit in zeroing in on the relevant legal concept: he is non compos mentis. Not just that he's a batty old man, he is debilitated in a concrete legal sense, fit for conservatorship.

Oh SHIT. Two birds with one stone and neither were for immigration. It was to hassle black folk and make a sizzle real about it and to help Wells Fargo out.

Fucking crazy shit.

President AOC gonna fund Medicare for All unilaterally ok

It is unbelievably funny how load bearing American democratic norms turned out to be

lol it’s this guy

I get that everyone thinks it's a funny little joke when Trump says nonsense about "trangender for everybody" (because really, wtf does that even mean?), but I gotta say that as a trans person, I find it absolutely fucking insane that he's constantly obsessing over trans people existing. It sucks.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

this is the real legacy of Charlie Kirk

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

bluesky: community moderation! we're all about community moderation! we want you to moderate yourselves! we are giving you the tools to do it yourself!

one of the biggest and longest running community mod lists:

this will only continue to escalate, they want a civil war

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

Oh, is the campaign of extralegal seizures, secret detention, government censorship, and violence by anonymous forces mostly targeting specific parts of the population, one after another, rather than the whole public all at once? I wonder if anyone ever wrote about anything like that before.

Their only move is waiting for Republicans to screw up badly enough to win the next election by default, except now we're in a situation where, even if they do win the midterms, it won't stop what's happening. You need a whole different set of guys for this moment

i think anyone taught by ilan wurman ought to ask the university of minnesota law school for their money back

A government of, by, and for the Online Right

It ‘matters’ when those children are white. The *only* reason people are ok with those raids or simply haven’t heard of them is bcz the ‘collateral’ is black kids and black families.

This is *exactly* right. The purpose of the shadow docket would be basically the opposite of this—e.g. to step in if a circuit court were going to allow summary deportations that placed individuals in danger. The conservative justices’ actions here are perverse.

i dunno i think it would be pretty divisive of the frog not to take the scorpion at its word

If a high ranking Democrat ever said "the NFL sucks" it would be looped endlessly on the news as proof of how out of touch Dems are for the next 40 years.

An FBI training agent was fired for having a Pride flag on his desk because "it was a political statement" at the same time this guy is a walking advertisement for the Nazi party.

I think a good prosecutor could get Roberts convicted for treason

and scene

Watch this. This is what this criminal administration wants to do to all of us.
