They think that when the lights go out, society will pretty much immediatley go full-on Lord of teh Flies so they can have the race war they so dearly want.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Trump just threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act if governors/judges act *lawfully* within the constitutional system in ways that displease him.

Miller's statements reveal their real position: Trump's power to invent pretexts for emergency actions is limitless.

FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash · 9m This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities. While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.” More updates will be forthcoming. These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead the these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice. Thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured. Please pray for the injured and deceased.

Honest question - does Kash Patel know about court?

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I changed up some Charlie Kirk quotes and substituted 'MAGA' in various places.

Republicans shouldn't be offended because I'm just sharing an opinion.

It's totally harmless. Just call it free speech on the flip side.

I'm ready for my podcast now.

Just JOKING.

The Supreme Court devalues democracy. Thirty-seven state constitutions block public funds from supporting religious entities. Richard Schragger, Micah Schwartzman & Nelson Tebbe, Reestablishing Religion, 92 U. Chi. L. Rev. 199, 211 (2025) . The Court aims to federally-repeal these state constitutional provisions. The Court's beliefs meddle with local and state governments. Forcing states to send public funds to religious entities federalizes public policy. By unprincipled fiat. See also New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022) (zero to superpower). Taxpayer funds now flow to religious institutions. So, the government collects money from nonbelievers (under the threat of jail), and uses some of it to support religion. And since not all religions will receive public funds, the government forces minority faiths to support other faiths, or else. The Court twists text, history, purpose, precedent, and public meaning to offend the First Amendment's character-of- government structure and the Constitution's separate sovereignty structure. As it steamrolls both, the Court says nothing about church- state separation and federalism principles. The Court's nevermind stance to the structural features of the Constitution "has unfolded with little engagement with, and occasional

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact.

The Trump ethos is very much ”foreigners suck, go USA,“ so proTrump people will cheer any sneering at or insulting of foreigners, whether they are allies or not, because they have such a juvenile concept of the world.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

"Wow you guys just call everyone you don't like a Nazi!"

If you copy Nazi Chief propagandist Joseph Goebbel's speeches term for term, say hail victory (that's sieg heil, for those who don't know), & refer to the "storm" then yeah... you are a literal Nazi.

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Reminder that the actual crusaders slaughtered Jews across Europe as part of their “religious duty” and then continued to do so in the “holy land”

this is the best single-image encapsulation of how modern conservatism works

this is less true than we all want it to be because a sizable number of right wing Epstein obsessives think he was trafficking 6 year olds not 16-year-old girls who they think should be allowed to marry

no number of Navy SEALs will win a modern war.

several hundred factories pumping out FPV drones and artillery shells might

one relatively minor thing that's come alongside the rise of SOF veterans as influencers is the idea that these people know how to win wars, when the birth of special forces as an institution can be directly graphed alongside the U.S. no longer winning real wars

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Civil Case No. 25-1888 AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION, 321 N. Clark Street Chicago, IL 60654, Plaintiff, V. EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 PAMELA J. BONDI, in her official capacity as Attorney General of the United States, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 725 17th Street NW Washington, DC 20503 RUSSELL T.

19. Because the threat that the President will continue to issue potentially devastating executive orders against law firms who do not "behave" remains urgent and outstanding and because it is not merely a threat but a proven pattern— this chill "of blizzard proportions" continues to grip most of the top law firms and lawyers in the country. Id. 20. That is why the ABA is filing this lawsuit. As the nation's largest voluntary association of lawyers (which counts lawyers from every AmLaw 100 firm among its membership), the ABA is uniquely situated to achieve meaningful and certain relief against this unconstitutional Policy on behalf of a substantial part of the American bar. Pursuing such relief furthers the mission of the ABA "[to serve equally our members, our profession and the public by defending liberty and delivering justice as the national representative of the legal profession." Never before has there been as urgent a need for the ABA to defend its members, their profession, and the rule of law itself. 21. The Law Firm Intimidation Policy is unlawful. Our Constitution does not vest the Executive Branch with the power to point to individual lawyers or law firms, declare by executive fiat that their work or their internal policies are "against the national interest" or otherwise illegal or improper, and direct (or threaten) executive action against that lawyer or law firm. Exercising such power-and threatening to do so-violates the First Amendment and purports to exercise

power that the President does not have. "When the government draws legal scrutiny, its response must be to defend itself in court, not to intimidate those who would force it to do so." Jenner v. DOJ, 2025 WL 1482021, at *9. 22. On behalf of itself and its members, the ABA asks the Court to declare this Law Firm Intimidation Policy unconstitutional and enjoin all the named Defendants from implementing and enforcing this Policy against the ABA or any of its members in the future.

273. Enjoin Defendants from enforcing a Security Clearance Termination Provision against any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or legal organizational affiliation, or based on the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; 274. Enjoin Defendants from enforcing a Government Contracting Provision against any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or legal organizational affiliation, or based on the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; 275. Enjoin Defendants from enforcing a Federal Building and Employee Access Provision against any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or legal organizational affiliation, or based on the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; 276. Enjoin Defendants from enforcing a Federal Employment Provision against any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or legal organizational affiliation, or based on the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; 277. Enjoin Defendants from initiating attorney conduct and disciplinary proceedings, or making a referral for disciplinary action, of any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or organizational affiliation, or based on the identity of the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; and

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial
