HAPPENING NOW: A Ninth Circuit panel hears arguments on whether President Trump had the authority to federalize the California National Guard—and whether Judge Breyer's order blocking him from doing so should be stayed during appeal. 🧵

I think it's time enough we started creating confusing situations where uniformed authorities are trying to arrest each other. Make use of things like the No Secret Police bill in CA, create a lane to arrest masked dudes kidnapping people off the streets (AS THOUGH THAT ISN'T ALREADY ILLEGAL)

The chess match for actual legal proceedings in a court is one thing. Arguing over technically correct with armed goons in a hallway who don't know or care about the law is NOT the point. "This is wrong!" is the point. Lawyers losing the forest for the trees is...on par but needs to stop. /a lawyer

Tip I learned years ago from a longtime organizer who is also an attorney: If you are not sure if a person approaching you is a cop, and you do not feel safe, drive to the nearest fire department and call 911 and tell them (don't ask) that you're stopping for the cop at a FD. Here's why.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Apparently this needs spelling out: If you see a philosopher use the term "bullshit" in regards to LLM's or GPT-type "AI", we're probably not using it in the colloquial sense of "fake," but rather in accord w/ the specific sense of "not concerned with truth or falsity," as coined by Harry Frankfurt.

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

fuck the whole "de-extincting" scam making fake "dire wolves" to convince people that "it doesnt matter if things go extinct! we can just make new ones!*" instead, we need to focus all our resources on bringing back those big fuckoff snails that knights used to fight back in the middle ages
