This is what Liverpool winning the Premier League looked like last time, and what it looks like now. I'd say that second picture is slightly more aligned with the dreams of every Liverpool fan over the last three decades.

Best argument against the refs being corrupt when it comes to Liverpool is that they’re still shit to us even when there’s nothing at stake.

The real problem with the Supreme Court’s expected Fed carve out is not that it lacks a principle but that the real principle isn’t articulated. The reason it will carve out the Fed is functional but it won’t say that. And its jurisprudence doesn’t leave room to ventilate the functional arg.(1/8)

Gaza aid is mere ‘teaspoon’ of what is needed, says Guterres, amid widening starvation and destruction across enclave.

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines. Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

📢 Here is a step-by-step review of what happens to the big terrible bill now that it's through the House, outlining the best ways to resist it at this point 👇

Under the bill passed by the House, those in the US earning LESS than $17,000 will LOSE $1,000 a year, the top 0.1 per cent of taxpayers will gain nearly $400,000 a year. How sick is that? And 8.6 million people will lose their Medicaid coverage. This is like a death sentence for many.

Again, Trump truly seems to think the firm is the ideal model of government. He’s doing everything he can to make himself the dictatorial boss of the fucking country.

Note the line about rooting out the "evils of anti-Americanism in society" (separate from universities, no connection to foreign students, etc.). They decide who and what is "anti-American." Threat could not be clearer.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

The reactions among elite academics to these attacks on their institutions and students really kind of highlight why so many people—even many academics outside those institutions—kind of hate them. (Obviously not defending the attacks, but don’t need to reiterate the reasons why they’re terrible.)

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Race animates a lot of ICE/CBP, but I can't stress enough how—as with all law enforcement—a key factor is sheer laziness. They're not tracking down drug gangs, they're going for the easiest targets they can find. Official hearings (citizenship, court, etc) are fish in a barrel to run numbers up.

I'm not interested in smart ass comments this morning. If this bill moves forward as is, there are thousands of people who will die because of it. This is a deadly serious thing. If your coping mechanism is sarcasm or detached cynicism, keep it out of my mentions or you will be immediately blocked.

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.
