The Fifth Circuit v. The Framers: Justice in the Lone Star State Assessing whether a police officer’s use of force was reasonable under the totality of the circumstances is precisely the type of judgment call the Framers tasked jurors to make.

"The Framers intended for juries—composed of ordinary citizens—to adjudicate disputes between citizens and their gov't. Assessing whether a police officer’s use of force was reasonable under the totality of the circumstances" is precisely the sort of thing they had in mind. [@foxmike90.bsky.social]

I can’t believe this needs to be said, but no, you really don’t have to hand it to J Posobiec

Absolutely you will. Reach out to friends, eat lots of good food. I hope you find some joy this week!

The Pope sings

Hands
Touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touching me, touchin' you

Sign at the US Military Academy at West Point:

A little black trashcan on the curb with a dog pot on it and dog waste bags attached to the side. Inside, which you can’t see, it’s full of dog poop bags.

When I bought my house, the prior owners had one of those signs in the front demanding people keep their dogs off their yard. I removed it, and replaced it with a little trashcan with dog waste baggies. All of my neighbors use it.

I guess they found some of that election fraud they’ve been talking about

Letter to the Editor (Austin Chronicle) from Maddie Cassels: “Dear Editor, I’m a 17-year-old senior in Austin, and I don’t think adults realize how exhausting it is to grow up like this. We practice lockdown drills more than fire drills. We joke about escape roots because it’s easier than admitting we’re scared. And still, lawmakers like Gov Greg Abbott refuse eve the simplest gun safety policies that could actually protect us. No one is asking for anything extreme. Red flag laws save lives. Universal background checks save lives. It feels cruel that our safety keeps getting framed as a political inconvenience. Students deserve to learn without rehearsing how to survive. I’m asking our legislators to choose children over lobbying money. I’m asking adults to act like our lives matter.”

Oh my heart. “Students deserve to learn without rehearsing how to survive.”

I see you, Maddie Cassels in Austin.

American Airlines ✈️ honored Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license 100 years ago, with a flight operated entirely by Black women, from maintenance crew to the all female crew from Dallas to Phoenix. ❤️

This is special, this is newsworthy.

If the next few months don’t bring a statistically significant uptick in the percentage of young American women identifying as lesbians, that will prove that sexual orientation isn’t a choice

She did a what?

The most rational thing I’ve ever seen her do, if so

Ok so is she running for governor or potus or is this a kompromat situation

I cannot keep up with what is happening with MTG, what is the deal?

Mamdani probably got home, turned to his wife, and let out the longest, loudest “this fucking guy” of all time

Y’all, the opinion and order of the Hon. Sara Ellis in Chicago Headline Club v. Noem granting the preliminary injunction is worth a read in its entirety. It’s 233 pages long, because that’s how many pages it took her to fully detail the Defendants’ misconduct.
