COME SEE ME IN THE GOOD LIGHT is now streaming on AppleTV. It's my favorite doc of the year.

Johnson: When we cheat, we win.

I saw an early screening of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery at the #BrattleTheatre as part of @iffboston.bsky.social #FallFocus

It was great, I think my favorite of the series. Thanks #Netflix for putting it in independent theatres.

The Kavanaugh stop, 50 days later "What a sick world." And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

NEW: The Kavanaugh stop, 50 days later. "What a sick world."

I asked Justice Brett Kavanaugh about his September 8 concurrence and the reality that has followed. Because he should be asked. He, unsurprisingly, did not respond.

Today, at Law Dork:

You wouldn’t think members of #SCOTUS would need a reminder of this but apparently they do.

I know it's far away and presumptious but is someone working on a Project2029 to fix a lot of this?

Rebel with a Clause (2025) | Documentary 1h 26m

Rebel with a Clause is an actual grammar movie and it's really good! www.imdb.com/title/tt3615...

I never watched To Catch a Predator but the doc PREDATORS explores the reasons for its popularity and questions its motives and our desire to watch the moment someone's life is upended. Seeing someone's reaction to the raw footage vs the produced episode is telling. #IFFBoston2025 #Movies #Boston

Mistress Dispeller (2024) ⭐ 7.0 | Documentary 1h 34m

Evidently in China if you suspect a cheating spouse, you don't hire a PI, you hire a MISTRESS DISPELLER to go undercover and breakup the affair. Started quite compelling but then dragged a little. No Q&A and I wonder how the doc makers filmed these intimate conversations. #IFFBoston2025 #Movies

COME SEE ME IN THE GOOD LIGHT is about a lesbian poet couple one of whom, Andrea Gibson, has terminal cancer. It's legit laugh out loud funny and incredibly meaningful. Given the description no one would pick this movie to see and yet I think everyone would enjoy it. #IFFBoston2025 #Movies

Here's the evidence ICE submitted in his case: a "gang worksheet" filled out by local cops in 2019 saying:

1) he had on Chicago Bulls gear
2) a confidential information said he was part of an MS-13 clique in a state he'd never lived in.

ICE agreed they had nothing else. Read the full context here:

Agreed, and the more we amplify what Booker is doing, the more we make it matter, in public perception and as an example to other elected officials. On the other hand, the more we disparage and tear it down, the more we make it not matter. It's not all up to him.

Opinion | Trump Won’t Win a War Against the Courts (Gift Article) The judiciary will never surrender to the president its constitutional role to interpret the Constitution.

“If Mr. Trump continues to attempt to usurp the authority of the courts, the battle will be joined, and it will be up to the Supreme Court, Congress and the American people to step forward and say: Enough.”

Thank you, Judge Luttig.

With sweeping actions, Trump tests US constitutional order Donald Trump's sweeping assertion of power since returning to the White House is testing the U.S. constitutional system of checks and balances established in the 18th century as the president faces scant resistance from Congress and tensions with the federal judiciary escalate.

Grateful to talk to John Kruzel @reuters.com about the current moment . . .

"This cannot be stressed enough - up until this point, we have not, in modern times, had to wonder whether a presidential administration would comply with a court order," said Duke Law professor Marin Levy.

@skyview.social unroll

The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

Every mind-bending TV show:

A box of hamantashen labeled "Amazing Human Tashen". Yes, I personally took this photo years ago before it was turned into a meme!

Department of unfortunate typos, Purim edition

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Perfectly executed piece from my colleague @danamilbank.bsky.social, on our owner's edict that WaPo opinions write "every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets."
The greatest threat to these pillars is Donald Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

At Least Now We Know the Truth It’s ugly, but necessary to face.

These newly cancelled projects “had received a waiver from the freeze because the State Department previously identified its work as essential and lifesaving.”

What else is there to say? They’re all obliterated, with nary an effort to distinguish.
