“This is a systemic violent act, to be detaining children, that has long-term consequences,” Kelley said. “It’s massively detrimental to the well-being of these families and our whole communities.”
I'm excited to share that we've made a collection of historic Supreme Court Records and Briefs available via

I've written a blog post where I go into detail about the importance of this collection.

"City prosecutor Marcus McDowell said it wasn’t a free speech case but argued 'no one has a Constitutional right to dress up as an erect penis and stand on the side of the road.'"
(For the record, the costume had, erm, somewhat deflated by the time of the arrest.)
Again, Jurgen Habermas—RIP, King—wrote Alex Karp and said I will no longer be your dissertation adviser BY FAX—because your ideas are mediocre. Nothing has changed.
the messianic, god like and mass shooter need, i wager.
In February 2025, Mills was investigated for domestic violence against his mistress. In August, 2025, another woman sued Mills, alleging that he had threatened her with revenge porn. Mace has pushed for greater transparency into sexual harassment investigations and payouts in Congress.
This is part of a broader push the Trump admin began in term one (that Biden didn't roll back in any way). First each visa applicant had to disclose your social media handles. Now under Trump 2, the U.S. government demands that you make your social media accounts public so they can scan 'em.
New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

This piece begins with Amity Shlaes' most common and most deceitful trick -- citing the unemployment numbers in 1938, when the country fell into a recession because FDR had been persuaded to *ease off* the New Deal, as proof that the New Deal didn't work.
Pure hackery.
"free speech" baby
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
wait till they figure out how much faster the airplane, a machine invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903, can traverse the same distance
eugenics, racism, kkk and nazi ideology
The Supreme Court will decide whether Colorado violated the First Amendment's free exercise clause by requiring schools participating in its universal pre-K program to abide by a non-discrimination policy that Catholic schools reject. (Exceedingly ominous.) www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
New: We found out how much money Nick Fuentes makes from "superchats": $900,000 since the start of Trump's second term. Here's the story of Kristine in Ohio, a food-truck operator who became his most frequent donor, despite not making much money herself: wapo.st/4mERkhv
'Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.'
What an actual lack of freedom of speech looks like in universities. 3/3
'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3
Again, a chance to remind everyone of this batshit episode - where Karp recited British fascist Oswald Mosley’s speeches for several minutes verbatim to Mosley’s stunned grandson whom Karp was interviewing for a job at Palantir. Karp then did some tai chi moves, left wordlessly - Mosley got the job.
When Graham Platner Waves, the Media Looks the Other Way BY JON FETHERSTON — APRIL 19, 2026 — UPDATED: APRIL 19, 2026 D 2 COMMENTS • 4 MINS READ f GRAHAM PLATNER -FOR US. SENATE• PORTLAND, Maine - Graham Platner (D) closed out his Saturday night campaign rally at the Holiday Inn in downtown Portland with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) by his side and a gesture that, to many watching, appeared strikingly similar to the salute that sparked national outrage when Elon Musk made a comparable motion.
Steve Robinson @SteveRob • Follow Amazing photo from last night. Is that the... Elon Salute? X GRAHAM RATNER 9:19 AM • Apr 19, 2026 575 Reply Copy link Read 89 replies But this time, the outrage is nowhere to be found. And everyone knows why.
Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok • Follow The dude with the nazi tattoo is now doing nazi salutes?? Where's the outrage from @CNN @MSNBC @nytimes @AP?? The media were more upset at @elonmusk doing a hand gesture from his heart than they are at this
If Platner were a Republican, the media would already be in full meltdown mode. There would be cable news panels, screaming headlines, demands for apologies, and endless lectures about extremism, decency, and the supposed danger tacing the republic. Every liberal pundit in America would be falling over themselves to declare the gesture disqualifying. Instead, the silence has been immediate and deliberate. That silence matters, because it exposes the rot at the center of the modern media. The same press corps that turns every perceived offense by conservatives into a five-alarm national scandal suddenly loses its voice when the man on stage is someone they like, someone they want protected, someone standing shoulder to shoulder with Elizabeth Warren at a rally in Portland. This is how the game works in America now. The liberal media does not enforce standards. It enforces political loyalty.
This is an interesting fake story that some people on the right are trying to manufacture. www.themainewire.com/2026/04/when...
Now DOJ is demanding 2024 ballots from Michigan without a proper legal basis. Is it just a coincidence that it’s targeting swing states like Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona in the lead-up to the 2026 election?

NEW: In the middle of the night, the House tried to pass a bill that would have given President Trump and Stephen Miller the power to spy on Americans without a warrant for years to come.
It failed due to pressure from the public — but they plan to vote again in just 2 weeks.
all the articles calling the murder of cerina fairfax a "complicated divorce" and "ongoing domestic dispute" are quoting directly from the police presser without citing those phrases as coming from that source. journalism dies when you let the cops tell you what happened and stop there.
"In Baltimore, Commissioner Donald Pomerlau had an intelligence unit that kept tabs on officers and civilians who were of interest to him. Asked by a reporter if his intelligence unit spied on elected officials, Pomerleau responded, 'Just the blacks.'"
IDF commanders told Haaretz that southern Lebanon is being demolished “like Gaza.” The declared goal is to prevent civilians from being able to return.
Both are war crimes punishable under international law.

SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

Mr. Trump, whose instinct for crowd work and note-perfect timing have drawn comparisons to the insult comic Don Rickles, will almost certainly take a few potshots. His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said on social media that the evening “will be fun.”
It’s fascinating to see when reporters qualify unambiguously true claims about Trump with phrases like “experts say,” or “some say x and others say y,” and when they attribute to him at best questionable characteristics, such as his “note-perfect” comedic timing with no qualification whatsoever.
A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”
Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
