You can take the First Amendment from my cold dick hands. *checks notes* Nah, I'm leaving it.

Fairhope protester acquitted of charges after inflatable costume arrest during anti-Trump rally Renea Gamble, 62, was cleared of all charges Wednesday after her arrest at a "No Kings" protest drew national attention and raised First Amendment questions.

Wearing a penis costume to a No Kings rally is a 1st Amendment right. Alabama’s efforts to prosecute were firmly rejected today. www.al.com/news/2026/04...

if it were 10 years ago this would be a wall to wall story. but the media is afraid of him. and his friends in the white house.

Usha, you have the chance to do the funniest thing in history.

Oh yeah definitely the one thing sci fi and fantasy has been missing is the male gaze

Automatic draft registration: streamlined, efficient.

Automatic voter registration: creeping deep state tyranny.

*angry goose meme* and how did Afghanistan work out, Mark? How did it work out?!?

Trump Might Have a Case on Wiping Out a Whole Civilization

By Randy E. Barnett and Ilan Wurman

I want to see law professors drafting new arguments for why the Constitution actually demands that Ilan Wurman, specifically, should be fired out of a cannon across the border.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today.

That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

I cannot stress enough how these are PTA moms and soccer coach dads and I can best describe the vibe as “festively bloodthirsty”

A band striking up "Do You Hear the People Sing" as the Camden #NoKings march got started got me in the feels. I don't even like Les Miz!

amazing

To the two high school students who squatted down and earnestly asked my first grader questions about her science fair project for several minutes tonight, may your pillows always be on the cool side.

SAVE Act Reaches Senate Public outrage made a big difference in stalling the anti-voter bill the last time it gained momentum — and it could again — and it could again.

One thing lost in the SAVE Act debate is that the Supreme Court would quickly strike down this kind of draconian voter suppression if it gave a damn about the First Amendment, and it's depressing that we all know it just doesn't. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Guest Chat: Tradwives with Prof. Dara Purvis | Strangers on the Internet

I had such a great time talking with @irinamanta.bsky.social about all things tradwives on Strangers on the Internet. Come for the behemoth dustpan, stay for the musings relating them to antitrans laws. Give it a listen here: shows.acast.com/strangers-on...

I can only imagine the activity on the Ninth Circuit judge's email list leading up to this.

Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.

Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

10,000 gold stars for the symposium editor who emailed me "I checked with the caterer about vegan options and they said they can do a roasted vegetable platter. Here is the menu of a local vegan restaurant, let me know what you'd like."

A notebook labeled Women's Rights Law Reporter and program for that journal's symposium

I'm in North Jersey for the morning presenting at the Women's Rights Law Reporter symposium - the first journal I published an article with!

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

I shall be referring to him as Renesmee

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

Are you interested in adopting a 44 year old?

1/ Khamenei was a brutal far right tyrant — whom America installed btw. The world is better off without such a dictator.

That is true.

But so is the following:

Twitter is owned by a fascist who deliberately manipulates the algorithms to promote far right messages. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...
