A plethora of piñatas.

“This El Guapo, he’s not just famous, he’s infamous.”

I’d suggest a “Kavanaugh Apology Clock” for his most catastrophic opinions (Perdomo among them), but no clock could continue to keep time after the heat death of the universe.

What the stories about not-terribly-significant drops in approval ratings for Spanberger and Mamdani miss is that political capital is supposed to be spent on achieving policy priorities.

T-shirt cannon. For the fans.

Read my Letter to the Editor at ⁦‪@WSJ‬⁩ discrediting the favorable profile that paints Harmeet Dhillon as a rational reformer and fails to examine her egregious anti-civil rights record. As she vies to replace Pam Bondi, media must get the facts right.

Front row, center court seats at a Manhattan College Jaspers game—fine MAAC basketball—followed by pastrami sandwiches, Dr. Brown’s black cherry soda, and black-and-white cookies at Liebman’s. You’ll still have enough for round trip train fare to the airport and a roll of Tums.

Just unconscionable for FEMA to be gatekeeping this revolution in commuting…

I hear performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Municipal Madness: Bracket-style competition seeks votes for NYC infrastructure fixes Municipal Madness allows residents to cast votes for anything from pothole repairs, trash cleanup or broken basketball hoops.

Show me a better example of an elected official putting public focus on getting shit to work than Mamdani’s Municipal Madness bracket: bronx.news12.com/municipal-ma...

Hopefully there’s something telling in the fact that no one joined his concurrence in the stay in Williams.

Trans Day of Visibility. Trans people are our neighbors. Trans people are not dangerous. Today, and every day, we see you. You are loved, you belong 💛

Christian Nationalism Is Thriving, and "We Should Be Concerned" An interview from the front lines of the fight for separation of church and state.

Spoke to Mariko Hirose, a lawyer from the Americans United for Separation of Church and State @americansunited.bsky.social, about the grim ongoing battle against Christian nationalism in our government.

It’s (1) stereotyping nonsense and (2) bad electoral strategy to tell the majority of Democratic primary voters in states that have a majority of the delegates that their preferences take a back seat.

Deep cuts here.

Some version of New York for All is likely to pass; the key question is which one.

To prevent Hochul from watering the bill down to allow some collusion with ICE, we need as many people as possible contacting our NYS reps right now so that they hold the line.

Use NYCLU's tool to contact them all.

That Balkinization post was incoherent.

The contradiction with his reasoning in Brnovich (which also doesn’t make semse but for other reasons)

Take my law license and light it on fire if I ever let anything 0.001% this horrific happen to an attorney I supervise.

This case is not at all about “swinging dicks.” It’s about whether WA State anti-discrimination law violates 1A. Judge McKeown wrote an opinion that addresses the issue squarely. Judge Gould, as down the middle a jurist as there is, joined it.

VanDyke shows once again he’s just a troll in a robe.

He just insists on proving them right again and again and again...

Just forwarded this to my students who are all investigating municipal elections right now.

Happy birthday and many happy returns of the day, Bright.

Article III of the US Constitution calls them "judges." (They get the title"justices" from the Judiciary Act of 1789.)

Teaching Equal Protection doctrine on discrimination against noncitizens today...

Not only is a Plyler v Doe unimaginable now (states can't deny public school to undocumented children), so too is the agreement. The decision is 5-4, yet *all 9 justices* are like yeah that exclusion is bad & immoral.

Usually you need to have some credibility to light it on fire like that
