Mr. Eyeball

I don’t think they forgot.

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

It’s time for all the fired staffers to just form another newspaper.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

We deserve a better opposition to the monster in the White House than the feckless Democratic Party leadership has provided. Why is Bill Kirstol able to make more pointed attacks on Trump outrages than you are?

And that bible stories are what justify political Zionism.

And “Mrs Obama”? What is this 1975?

Same vibe from Obama. Intentional wrongdoing is not a “tragedy” it’s a crime.

Abolish ICE

Observe his apparent inability to speak with justified moral outrage at the bad actors who are causing this, and his fake framing of the problem as a good faith disagreement about which Trump might be persuaded to act otherwise. Mr. “Let me be clear” is strangely incapable of speaking plainly.

I have my issues with Bill Young’s case management style but I have to give him credit for rising to the seriousness of the occasion in striking this blow against the Trump gestapo. It probably won’t survive the First Circuit, but good for him for trying.

Advisory Juries - Steven Baicker-McKee In this post, I’ll explain how advisory juries work. Authorized by Rule 39(c)(1), an advisory jury listens to the evidence at trial and renders a verdict like a normal jury would. However, while a nor...

Advisory juries are not uncommon in federal court where there is an equitable issue that is decided by the judge, such as inequitable conduct in patent cases. The jury issues an advisory verdict which the court is free to ignore. profsbm.com/advisory-jur...

When are *you*, Katherine Clark, going to stand up for *your* community and stop voting to fund Trump’s Gestapo.

If you don’t vote to dismantle ICE, this is just performative bullshit. What is your position on defunding ICE? - A constituent.

Labour Party which showed that LAAS' spokesperson and one of its most well-known activists, Euan Philipps, had created a fake persona called David Gordstein, which many readers would take to be a Jewish name. Philipps is not Jewish. Philipps admitted to Al Jazeera that he was David Gordstein but insisted that 'he never claimed to be Jewish when doing sol David Gordstein, as shown below, would play a material role in the success of the astroturf campaign that was incubated by the Labour Together Project. Philipps remained a prominent member and spokesperson of LAAS even after his Gordstein persona was exposed. Previously unseen documents from the Labour Party show that the Gordstein persona was used to make hundreds of complaints of antisemitism to the Labour Party between 2017 and 2021. The reports are detailed, but perhaps the most important feature was the number of times the persona was used to accuse left-wing jews of antisemitism. The outrageous story of Gordstein's complaint about the elderly Jewish party member Riva Joffe, which led to the party investigating her on her death bed, is dealt with in Part Three below. One of the more absurd Gordstein complaints was directed against Miriam Margolyes, the idiosyncratic national treasure and garlanded jewish actress who played Professor Pomona Sprout in two of the film adaptations of Harry Potter. One of Margolyes' allegedly antisemitic acts, according to 'Gordstein", was to use her Facebook profile to share an impassioned article written in 2019 by the highly regarded Jewish social anthropologist and London School of Economics professor David Graeber. Graeber challenged aspects of the mainstream narrative alleging a 'crisis' of antisemitism in the Labour Party." He argued that the way the Labour Party antisemitism crisis' had been covered was itself antisemitic, because it generated unjustified 'rancour, panic and resentment' that 'creates THE FRAUD 61

This one guy and his mates were the source for a massive chunk of all that terrifying media coverage you read, and that’s been public knowledge since about 2021. It is IMO helpful for the more lib audience of Bluesky to hear about this, because you better believe standards have not improved since.

Who benefits from marginal accounts like this if they are even real?
