For a timeline cleanse, here's a mega kitty. I've named her Ashlee. She looks like an Ashlee.

you feel like a big man, shooting an unarmed woman from behind? you fucking dickless cur. i hope you drown in your own piss.

the trump movement has inculcated a genuinely rotten contempt for life in our collective political life and the real challenge will be extirpating it in favor of life-affirming solidarity youtu.be/Em6hb2Mg0XA?...

"He fit the general description of the person we were looking for." "You mean he was brown, right?" "Yup."

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

just forgot the word for holes and called them “dig up spots”

I fell down a rabbit hole of Bigfoot documentaries during the pandemic, (enough so my family gives me Bigfoot themed gifts). And this is my absolute favourite thing about the chase for Sasquatch. They’re black bears.

Fantastic episode of the In Defense of Plants podcast, Ep. 529. www.indefenseofplants.com/podcast/2025...

I was off social media for a few yrs, but decided that it's time to come back after last night. I'm an asst. prof. at Uni of Houston Law Center and before that was an attorney at DoD OGC, where my portfolio included domestic military deployments. This continues to be a core part of my research.

Many thanks to @lawfaremedia.org for running my analysis on such a quick turnaround. The theory of inherent pres power invoked last night is limited. I’ll have more on the tortured history of this assertion of pres power in the days to come.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

I Will Survive is a civilizationally important song about not getting back together with you ex. It will save your friendships, it will save your organizing, it will save your life, Be Free Don't Get Back Together With Your Ex Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care

Via "One First," my quick write-up of President Trump's "Presidential Memorandum" purporting to federalize 2000 California National Guard troops; the relevant legal authorities for doing so; and how the move is both a modest *and* dangerous escalation of what's going on in and around Los Angeles:

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

When Huerta says “We are a power” He means the farmworker, the janitor, the nurse, the home care provider. The workers. And he’s right. You can’t detain a movement. #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeThemAll

Unhinged, but you have to admit that “from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???” is extremely funny in the context of federal law enforcement increasingly wearing masks to conceal their identities

Feels like a uniquely American brand of stupidity to try and mobilize troops for the battle of Home Depot

It’s helpful to always keep in mind that Trump is a fucking idiot.

sonic the hedgehog would have been chosen to take the ring to mount doom if i had written it.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

LA is not in flames. I've driven all over the San Gabriel Valley today, and nothing out of the ordinary is happening. Remember this when Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson spend three hours on Monday declaring that LA is Thunderdome.

This absolute icon at Canterbury Pride 🩷🤍🩵

I missed this absolute insanity the other day from Markay's recent comments. Again, we have Federal policy being driven by people that have internet-bedwet themselves into an alternate reality.

Flower Press! #TheOutpost 🌱🌿🌻👨‍🌾 Pressing flowers in between pages of books is one of my favorite tried and true methods. I find them years later... youtu.be/bHSQx6E391o?...

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” *Without* invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

We @lawfaremedia.org will hopefully publish something on this soon but fwiw the legal authority invoked is NOT the Insurrection Act — it’s 10 USC 12406, which is much more limited than an Insurrection Act invocation. (Reporters: Chris Mirasola is the expert to talk to about this)

I’ll go to great lengths for a bit but ok fineeee, you guys are right, I’ll nix the inner lip tattoo idea and just buy a “WITAOD?” hat instead 😉 thelawfarestore.com

Govt moves to stay all deadlines in Abrego Garcia case while it prepares a motion to dismiss.

It’ll be interesting how the Trump administration’s remarkable ability to magically bring Abrego García back to the United States will bear on its arguments in other cases about how it really has no ability to influence the detention of others at CECOT.

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

So... every single weather warning on this map except the grey in the southwest corner of BC (early season +30C heat) and the yellow in Nova Scotia in the south east on the map (severe storm watch) is about wildfire smoke. #CdnPoli #CdnWx #Wildfire

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS *also* grants the Trump administration's request to pause discovery in CREW's effort to challenge the structure (and identify the leadership) of DOGE, again over public dissents from the three Democratic appointees: www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS grants Trump administration stay in DOGE/Social Security case (restoring DOGE’s access to SSA data) over public dissents from three Democratic appointees.

You may see this photo showing "nurses landing at Normandy on D-Day" being shared today. But it was taken months later at the French Riviera area of southern France, not Normandy. They're clearly not dressed for a war zone.

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social I've enjoyed your latest podcast and the mention of bees/ buckfast bees. Here's a talk about Brother Adam and hid buckfast bees at the monastery. youtu.be/9Tg6zXh0hqw?...
