No one does more with less then #LSC funded orgs. So naturally the White House wants to axe legal aid, because who needs housing, safety, or veterans services when you’ve got vibes, right? Defunding LSC isn’t budgeting—it’s abandoning millions. #LegalAidMatters www.lsc.gov/press-releas...

I am not a YOLO Person. I often delay trips and other experiences until the timing or finances feels right. But I am being taught a lesson in real time about planning a national parks trip for our family in 2027.

“250 million bees are now loose.” A tractor-trailer carrying 70,000 pounds of pollinator hives rolled over on a country road in Washington State on Friday, releasing an eye-popping number of honeybees, the authorities said.

Of course, @joshuaerlich.bsky.social is correct. People should not rely purely on #generativeAi for legal advice. However, no amount of admonishment will get them to stop. Best the legal profession can do is help police bad actors and clean up the mess. #LegalAi

It’s clear that if you are a foreign leader meeting the US President, you need an advisor who spends all their time researching conspiracy theories to prepare.

Saying if for the corporate dems in the back, the Emoluments clause is not vibe based. It is Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of US Constitution. I cannot with this crap.

Just had a smart friend defend the LOC firing—and i realized how badly we’ve failed at teaching civics. Even educated folks don’t know basic rules like due process or habeas corpus. Half the admin’s power is that no one knows what’s legal vs just "vibes." And the responses are all vibes based.

I’ve carried a pocket Constitution (okay, in my backpack) since before it became a neocon cosplay prop. Now that MAGA treats due process like a speed bump on the road to authoritarianism, I’m starting to wonder how I became the one sticking to the “fad.”

You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

Even if you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d still need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

Today is a momentous day for renters in MA - the Affordable Homes Act goes into effect, making it possible for tenants to seal past eviction records. GBLS was proud to be with @senatorledwards.bsky.social and our client to seal the first record today. www.passthehomesact.org/uploads/2/7/...

Pretty sure a huge chunk of Trump’s base is boomer grandparents buying their grand kids 30 dolls at a time. I’ve asked my parents to cut back on the toys, but I didn’t mean for “State-mandated Marie Kondoing” via tariffs to be the solution.

Incidents like this — law enforcement entering the wrong house — are already far too common. Go read @radleybalko.bsky.social "Rise of the Warrior Cop." It details how military-style policing has been normalized over decades and how common adverse outcomes come from mistakes on addresses.

Took a phone-free day, and it was honestly great. But I dozed off during the Minecraft movie and woke up to everyone talking about Signalgate again… Did I accidentally reset the timeline? There’s no way this is happening twice, right?

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

In sum: an economically illiterate "conservative" institutes the biggest tax hike in history in an effort to revive the policies that led to the Great Depression. Cool.

If you are a supervisor who likes pranks but happen to work in an unstable environment (say for example a federal agency) use a little but of judgement with any "your fired" pranks. Sincerely a guy who lurks in the fed news subreddit

Can we please remember that John Adams literally represented the Redcoats who did the Boston Massacre. Like, if you’re going to wave the goddamn flag and say that lawyers ought not to represent clients you disagree with or who are allegedly guilty, then you’re just confused about American lawyers.
