Remember the lawless presidential immunity decision and all the uses of the shadow docket to enable impunity and lawbreaking

Yes he's a scarily good defender.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege
People are asking a lot “how is this happening?” It’s happening the way abolitionists have warned you for decades it’s happening — you can’t dehumanize whole groups of people, pay for their brutalization & not expect for more bounty hunters to come.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Ugh, please no, Nico/Rodo! 😭
#BREAKING U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago is entering a preliminary injunction governing the use of force against protesters and journalists.
if constitutional rights only apply to individuals or states that have sued for relief, you don't actually have constitutional _rights_, you have _privileges_ that can sometimes (but not always) be secured for you by your lawyer
Don't forget the most important part of the night!
Just so we are all clear
This is the same camp that Ras J Baraka was arrested at and LaMonica McIver caught a FEDERAL charge for investigating
because they did not believe the conditions were humane
So the two Black legislators who actually did something ENTIRELY correct
This absurd and dangerous liar is @erinburnett.bsky.social
LAPD when they think nobody is watching
"What if we let them abuse people who aren't us?" - Centrists.
Sending love to everyone engaging in vexatious litigation against this fascist regime.
There's a whole tier of Democratic politicians who think the way to solve fascism is to say stuff you would have said eight years ago, but with a curse word in it.
By 5-4 vote, #SCOTUS *denies* Trump’s emergency application in foreign aid funding cases, but in a way that sends things back to the district court *before* the payments will have to be made:

Fun Fact: Democrats are wearing pink tonight as a symbolic protest against people who want them to do something meaningful
“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

All of this. All. Of. It.

If you forgot that today is Valentine’s Day and need some last minute cards to send, don’t worry. We got you covered.
Maybe if we tell them there’s a student encampment inside the White House democrats will spring to action.
if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools
Apparently folks think that writing that contains an em dash is a dead giveaway that it's from ChatGPT, which I guess is a sign that most people have never read anything in their lives.
Callum Wilson back. Alexander Isak injured....

Good summary from @austinchronicle.bsky.social on the attacks on speech and learning that UT Austin is facing. www.austinchronicle.com/news/2024-11...
It's been observed by many, many people that conservatives desperately want to be a protected class, and they do, but I think they also really, truly, honestly believe in their right to rule and do not really understand why you do not.
I would like to reiterate: We own everything. The broadcasting equipment, the supplements, the intellectual property for Brain Force Plus. We are still trying to figure out what to do with it.
Considering the fact that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than people born in this country, their motivation to protect the health and safety of Texans would suggest we allow as many in as possible.
It's gotta be so demoralizing working for the New York Times. You spend days diligently re-reporting a week-old regionally published article you're pretending doesn't already exist only to open the op-ed section and see "Mongrel Sterilization Is in the Constitution" by Trevor M. Swastika.
Every now and again I think about how Scott Stapp released a song for the Marlins called "Marlins Will Soar."
They're fish Scott. Marlins are fish.
