Miller should insist platoons of Guard members sleep in random LA people’s homes this evening, just to see if the Supreme Court would 6-3 or 5-4 its way to overturning the third amendment. Real opportunity for truly original Originalist hijinks.

We would do well to remember there is a portion of our country who is absolutely loving what Trump is doing in California right now.

I downloaded a bunch of house drum samples and in the also in the folder was this images folder containing car.jpg

They invaded the Home Depot like this is "Blackhawk Down."

What an era when law professors have a thread ready for every constitutional edge case.

Sue this is a power grab but it's also they Trump is so weak and scared that 400 citizens are terrifying.

lol, lmao

I think I have a winner for "least likely social media app I'm now seeing people organize anti-ICE protests on":

This is going to end well.

The critique of the Naderite preference for adversarial legalism and redundant proceduralism over state capacity is one of the best and most important ideas in the “abundance” mixed bag

Wow this is really fucking happening.

Miller is really a guy who only understands how to apply force, and while he’s holding most of the cards right now trying to occupy the largest county in the United States is a great way to start peeling them away from him.

This guy was a senior advisor to a major presidential primary contender and has no idea what the term "Southern Democrat" means, or what happened to them

My declaration that "my vote is extremely winnable" followed by repeated declarations that I will never vote for someone over the smallest perceived slight is raising an awful lot of questions that I thought my first declaration was preempting

Let this be our model of behavior! Wealth should never excuse depravity. Juxtapose this with the behavior of Kevin “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” O’Leary.

David Huerta was peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights when he was assaulted and injured by ICE agents. He is currently in the hospital under detention. This is unacceptable. Praying for David’s health and demanding accountability.

I want to make a joke about how he’s the inverse of a TERF but… I don’t think it’d be a joke? Not even just in the simple way of “trans inclusionary definitely not feminist” but it weirdly dances with some of the finer details of how Jeffries and Raymond arrived at transphobia.

Re-reading Justice Robert H. Jackson's famous speech on the dangerous discretion of federal prosecutors in light of the dubious indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This section stood out. www.roberthjackson.org/speech-and-w...

I understand this point and maybe it’s right, but there has to be some way to combat this that isn’t “we have to just play the game we didn’t want to play but he insisted was the game now.” If I’m playing chess and my opponent says “no it’s basketball now,” do I just have to start making layups?

today i learned there is an icelandic exemption for bringing in iceland hot dogs thru customs as long as u declare u are bringing in iceland hot dogs for personal use

future people will be forgiven for assuming this is the origin of the phrase

Been saying this for weeks. In order to build a mass deportation machine to round up and deport 4% of the entire goddamn population, you must first build the police state.

May they be protected. May their voices shatter the walls. May all the saints and bodhisattvas be with them.

Oh hell yes, they got a longtime private equity guy to review my book! He hated it! Do you want to be cool and preorder BAD COMPANY, or do you want to be like GARY??
