Well, this is your opportunity to do better than I did and make sure your natural yarns are free of, and protected against, carpet bug infestation. Never been so glad that I’m too cheap for a big stash.

Listening to the Oregon v. Trump arguments and contemplating what it’s like to practice law with absolutely no sense of shame.

the lies border on psychosis. Makes me want to scream. They cleared a 4 block radius for the gaggle of randos and a chicken man?

so completely wild to watch. So according to him the burden is on the state to prove that the president CAN execute all the laws of the land, not on the executive branch to prove they couldn’t execute the laws. Also apparently we assume presence of feds = required & less violence, no facts needed

Certainly is their MO

That kind of exchange is becoming sooo common for lawyers who have so few scruples as to stand up in court for this admin — at the risk of being disbarred too

I’ve seen others say the frog was fine and back out there already.

Whether he's lighting up the night sky with fake stars, polluting Memphis & the atmosphere, or torching our modest programs to improve global health & feed the starving, Musk does not pay a nickel for the impacts of his fever dreams: everyone else does.

This is not how a healthy society functions.

Unless the administration wildly changes its behavior, I think it’s unfortunately inevitable. No amount of invitation or shielding is going to change that :/

I’d feel better about this if SCOTUS didn’t think “the government not getting to do exactly what it wants when it wants” is irreparable harm but… pretty much nothing else is

Is it good when the judge interrupts a lawyer to remind him that he's an officer of the court

The feds' attempt last night to circumvent yesterday's ruling by deploying the California Guard, & late today to deploy Texas' Guard, shows their contempt for the rule of law.

We must continue to honor the Constitution & the rights of all to free speech, due process, & more.

More to come.

3/end

lot of problems with that piece but here's one: if anyone tries to blame "empty downtown" on anything other than

1) the pandemic
2) ted wheeler destroying the big food cart pod so his developer friends could build a hotel no one uses

they're either a moron or a developer

real estate brain is the death of all spaces that could ever actually be useful or desired to the public

but I guess every narrow procedural shadow docket ruling that lets trump do whatever he wants is a beautiful unique snowflake…

it’s so cute how it and the helicopter are lil buddies and will fly low over my house one over the other uwu

The image is an X post by user Joshua Reed Eakle from 20 hours ago, stating: "The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this." The post includes a profile picture and a verified badge.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

What do you mean “now”? How long a moon is full is kind of subjective unless you’re using the much briefer technical time where it is actually at 100% lumination

That might as well be a century. Admin will appeal before then. And even if they didn’t, that’s 14 days until there’s another hearing for another ruling that would prevent it.

looks like the new TRO will prohibit any federalized natl guard deployment to Oregon, period. I guess now we just get to see how SCOTUS contorts itself to reverse this on the shadow docket

Immergut states for the record that she is basing new TRO on all of the reasons that were in my prior opinion granting first motion and the same reasons and apply...The deployment of the federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, she says.

I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.

Then shut up until you have that attorney present. You cannot invoke your right to silence just by being silent. You have to say the words.

Gov Pritzker reports that Trump is demanding he activate the National Guard in Illinois, or Trump will.

To recap:
•IL violent crime rate is 310/100K
•USA violent crime rate is 374/100K
•Red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do blue states

This isn't national security—it's fascist autocracy

What Happens When Socialists Are in Charge? Portland Offers a Glimpse.

Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.

It's already started here Jack, the intimidation.

I live in a quiet, you could call sleepy, lower middle class suburb of Portland, Beaverton. Last night for hours, nearly all evening, a Border Patrol helicopter flew in circles over the area where I live. The helicopter was impossible to ignore.

They’re trying to terrorize us, it’s f**ed up

A pathetic bootlicker who’s not getting paid in his big dumb black helicopter flying low over Portland residential areas

I hear the lower you fly your big boy fed helicopter to terrorize citizens of your own country, the smaller your dick is

yeah, plus emptied out the place of most of the art and stained glass and converted the 3rd floor library into private rooms. Utter blasphemy

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

This is why they are so desperate to blame democrats— they know how harmful and unpopular their policies are. I hope they don’t succeed.
