we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

So Judge Advocate General officers - military - are summoned to relieve prosecutorial shortage?

Was this thought through?

To take some of the cringe or wobble out of this class, or caste, society, I recommend creating a post-Epstein version.

Breathing would become more satisfying.

BREAKING: Judge Jia Cobb issues a TRO blocking DHS Sec Noem's Jan 8 memo purporting to require 7-day notices by members of Congress to perform oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.

The effect is that congressional oversight visits are allowed on request, as is required by Sec. 527.

There are ample professional disincentives to spilling the inner workings of a court; even misconduct is rarely disclosed.

Only reason to demand NDAs is if the Justices are engaging in conduct so egregious that the legal profession would recognize the need for court employees to disclose it.

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

Also, you never know what is interesting to government(s) until it's 6 months too late.

Algorithmic paranoia is contagious? Uh-oh

Legalized theft made into a role-playing game?

I wish delusions were not fashionable in our political elites.

I assume this is to build patriotic sentiment/quell domestic unrest. But it may risk incidents with Trump flotilla.

They cannot separate the bills without going back for more House votes.

A welcome collaboration.

Defund the harm. Demand senators amend appropriations bills to forbid contracting with these imprisonment outfits.

Normally apolitical chat spaces, from porn to gamers to sports, awakened. Celebrities speaking, breaks - all be they tepid - with more right wing influencers. Yes, the murders in full view shifted minds.
But courage is what begets courage: #BraveOfUS spoke, stood, sacrificed. Never forget.

Screenshot of a TikTok video with error message at top saying “your video is under review and can’t be shared right now.”

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

Kristi Noem is an absolute disgrace. Tell your representatives in Congress it’s time to impeach!

Journalists need to ask, “What made Pettri a ‘suspect’?” He was ‘seized’ under the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, which requires *probable cause that he was committing a crime*

MAKE THEM ARTICULATE THE BASIS FOR THE SEIZURE

Solidarity up north

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

How big is Greenland?

Its so big it covers up 99% of the Epstein files.

A month after the Epstein files deadline, only a fraction of DOJ records have been released.

Does no one have the power to confront this obstruction of justice or are we to be “ok” with the fact we now are ruled by a dictator.

This map exposes the Greenland lie.

The US used to have a massive military footprint here.

Today, they operate just ONE base.

If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”
