You know the Supreme Court be playing fast and loose with the shadow docket but I'm telling you, qualified immunity cases? Some of the fastest and loosest
Let a lower court spell out why cops should stand trial, & the Supreme Court lifts it without explanation

my angry post about this case this morning is now an angry article
Roy Anthony Scott was in a mental health crisis and called 911 asking for help
Cops came and killed him, & now the Court is casting doubt on whether the cops can be held accountable for his death

“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”
—Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946
The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close
They are physically grabbing citizens and illegally detaining them in those privately run “immigration prisons”
CITIZENS !!!!!
ICE has to be dismantled
And guilty ICE personnel should be prosecuted.
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.
More local officials should take a hard stance against ICE, rather than offer the help of police or sheriffs.

Would it be possible for the next Democratic president to offer amnesty to any deported immigrant who had no criminal charges and offer them green cards if they want to come back? Those who have American citizen spouses and children or who served in the U.S Military could be first in line.
The insanity of Donald Trump and the need to remove him from office is not just hyperbole.
The Wall Street Journal is now reporting that Trump is so unstable that military leaders are excluding him from important operational meetings, lest his craziness gets in the way.
Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
New Hungarian PM brutally confronts a news channel that banned him for years.
why does this make me a little weepy?
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

This lady debunks their deranged bs articles, so delicious 😋. #sussexsquad
Grotesque: In a dispute over a will, two brothers including a retired Alabama state trooper now working at a federal courthouse, appear to have gotten their mother-in-law arrested by ICE.
Using the state to remove disfavored family members is the sort of thing that happens in totalitarian regimes.
Let's goooo!
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
ZOHRAN: “I ran on taxing the rich — Today, we’re taxing the rich… the first ever pied-a-terre tax for second homes worth $5 Million+… $500 MILLION from the richest of the rich to fund child care, etc…💰”
Promises kept.
the Trump admin doesn't have the numbers to fully carry out its mass deportation dreams by itself--a lot of immigration enforcement depends on voluntary cooperation
and contrary to what the admin claims, state & local governments have no obligation to volunteer

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.
“DA Mulroy is living rent-free in Senator Taylor’s head. This should be called the vendetta bill.”
