It should be a crime to be this stupid.

Curious about Bodnar now though. Seems messy.

I taught Lochner today at Emory and mentioned my favorite bakery in Atlanta, and a group of students went after class. They emailed me a picture with the subject: β€œWe were really concerned with the bakers’ welfare.” πŸ˜‚

One day, I’d like to write an article called, β€œDemocracy Manifest,” in which I reference a succulent Chinese meal. Alas, I still dream.

I don’t think this is an essential lawmaking function. Very not speech. Much not debate.

When was the last time a cabinet secretary was subpoenaed by a chamber controlled by the president’s party?

Breaking Down the Hemani Arguments | Duke Center for Firearms Law

NEW: I wrote up a short, breezy 3,700 word post for @dukefirearmslaw.bsky.social blog w/ reactions to the Supreme Court's oral arguments in US v. Hemani earlier this week.

I may be overly optimistic about getting some coherence in Second Amendment doctrine.

Four people, with their hands up, standing behind 2 people sitting. 

The four people standing are US citizens who were detained, the two people are families whose family members were killed by migrants.

Jayapal is now introducing 4 US citizens who were detained for at least 6 hours merely for observing ICE.

Kristi Noem sent a much-delayed list of USCit detained by ICE yesterday. None of these four were on the list.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

β€œDefiant” might be an understatement.

My Spotify DJ saidβ€” literally said, β€œAnd now, for something a little more defiant.”

Yes, because I, like most American BlueSky users, are anti-Canadian and supportive of the Trump Administration. Context clues and common sense go a long way.

I am the worstβ€” I should be better about doing my cites as I go. I like punishing myself, I reckon.
