If you’re a law professor thinking about reposting the claim that the Unite the Right rally was staged or faked, I’d encourage you to read the transcripts from Sines v Kessler. I know they run several thousand pages of testimony from the organizers, but they’re easily accessible and linked below.
IIRC, one of the slogans of the pro-Brexit crowd, used against the experts correctly warning it would be a catastrophe, was that “people are tired of experts”. Sometimes I wonder if Plato didn’t have a good point against democracy. (Not that I think philosopher-monarchs are a superior alternative.)
We must imagine Wile E. Coyote happy.
This place has EVERYTHING: cocaine ice cubes, bartenders named Chad, Nelly performing only to people named Nelly while on a stage built by Nellys, and a grift exchange which is like a gift exchange but you only give cash through the Kashi app.
“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.”

so, a rich internet personality is in the Times selling as praxis what Marx and Engels would have likely dismissed as the antisocial behavior of a déclassé lumpenproletariat?
Nothing to worry about, just the Heritage Foundation publishing an article on how the Republican Congress can refuse to seat Democrats www.heritage.org/election-int...
America’s international standing has sunk so low that Iran’s religious leaders now refer to it not as “The Great Satan” but as “Tiny Satan”.
“Without AI, an offender might have been able to reach two or three kids,” Kerle said. “With AI, an offender might be able to reach 40 kids, or 50 kids. It’s basically fishing with dynamite.”
This is a genuinely sickening, but important, story.
they like Trump and want to help him rule us. Two of the things that helped Republicans rule us more than anything else were in 2012 and 2022 when Republicans under a Dem Presidency and Senate were able to win the House only through more efficient gerrymandering and stymie Dem Presidencies.
Why did Navy Secretary Phelan get fired?
My speculation included the most indefensible possible reasons, but failed to include the dumbest possibility, one so dumb and petty Veep writers would reject it.
Why can’t we rely on Canada, did our government do something that alienated them
no, the layoffs were not done by the capitalist owners of the company. they were done by HR
It’s so sad when you see people doing demonic things like working for DHS when you know they’re capable of doing amazing things instead like wrangling 40 grand out of horny, old, rich idiots
A screen shot of a skeet from Merriam-Webster that reads - ‘SWIMS’ upside down is still ‘SWIMS’. With a reply that reads - if you love geometric fonts where this would be true so much then why don't you use them in your body copy? no? not readable? go FUCK yourself; dictionary. they should call you hypocrictionary
I’m sorry, but bluesky is THRIVING…
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.
Which is a shame. As it looks like it was the only war the US had any chance of winning.
If Republicans are really upset about gerrymandering, then they can join Dems in doing something to end it on both sides.
Rep Jamie Raskin tells me he'd be "delighted" to work with Rs on future bills (epic trolling here):

News accounts are straining to portray the Virginia move as a betrayal of Dems' principled opposition to gerrymandering.
It's pure bullshit. Dems passed a 2021 bill ending it for *both sides.* The Dem position is that Trump/Rs don't get to play by their own rules:

I just don’t know who to trust when it comes to my child’s health: their pediatrician or these garishly-bronzed, elderly pedophiles who can’t do basic math
He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence
Any indictment coming out of this DOJ should be treated as presumptively fallacious. The real story is more likely to be the weaponization of DOJ against opponents of the regime. And the target should be given ample opportunity to respond and contextualize high up in the story.
The SPLC is a private intelligence organization. When you give to a org that prominently advertises that it has an Intelligence Project, it's a fair bet that they have informants and maybe some of them are paid.
I’m not a lawyer but it seems to me that billing clients any amount per hour but then getting an LLM to do the job is fraud: I’m paying x/hour for expertise. How is this not at revert least grounds for sanctions from the bar association, if not worse?
Why would anyone, anywhere in the world, ever help the US in a foreign conflict again?
This is such sickening perfidy.
Hell, why have modern medicine in the military at all? Let's get back to vicious battlefield amputations. Anesthesia is woke.
asking questions in hearings is always better than speeches
