Lmfao this night keeps getting cooler

If your law is good when there are good people in office, but dangerous when there are bad people in office, your law is bad.

Huge news today: Big Balls Out. Also, Big Balls Out.

US Steel golden share? Class G shares?? No! It’s worse than that, it’s a personal power granted to 🍊🤡👑!! From US Steel’s amended certificate:

I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

People are having very strange conversations with ChatGPT, in which they discover secret cabals or conspiracies or that we are all in fact living in The Matrix. It sends these people into delusional spirals. Then ChatGPT tells them to email me about it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

So we have a US official **in Germany** saying they are “just following orders” in denying Harvard-bound scholars visas despite a federal judge’s restraining order www.masslive.com/news/2025/06...

Sandy Levinson (@utexaslaw) and I have co-authored a new paper expressing a few reservations about moving toward “caste analysis” in American equality law. Disagreements and helpful comments welcome. bit.ly/3Hye2Ya

“If not gestapo, why gestapo shaped?”

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

Trump: Well, we're going to have troops everywhere.  Reporter: What’s the bar for sending in the Marines  Trump: The bar is what I think it is.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

Any lawyers in Michigan? My dumb ass assumed NY 😅

Fact check: True.

I'm sorry, but it's pretty hard to take the conservative outrage over this Terry Moran post seriously when reporters & hosts on Fox, Newsmax, OANN, etc. constantly say wildly partisan things—and people have just kind of accepted they’re held to a lower standard.

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

The Republican Party has fully embraced fascism and destroyed American democracy. But some Democrats still say Latinx. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I really admire the woman on this plane who is just eating an entire baguette out of the bag. I wish I was on her level.

Lol good www.thedailybeast.com/ice-officers...

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

One thing I’m proud of as an American is that even during our descent into fascism we have some fun days.

Also apropos of nothing sometimes it's okay to Post Through It

groimes you haeve to come get me at Geetmo

Wait, what? Josh Blackman *refused* to answer whether he knows who funded his professorship?! Endlessly embarrassing.

This seems important from Jake Sherman

"The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional." Fuck right off, Pete. We don't need your ship to honor Harvey.

Alex Jones, who spent years ranting about shadowy government mass surveillance technology, is now stanning for Palantir

The Trump administration just rescinded federal guidance that had protected patients' right to an emergency abortion throughout the country. This move formally halts EMTALA enforcement against hospitals that refuse to terminate when a patient's health requires it. www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...

Pete Hegseth is pathetic t.co/qPM9uoz6mu
