“Mein Kampf” (TWO copies no less) remains on the shelves, but “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” is gone. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

what the fuck

UPDATE: ICE has awarded a new contract worth up to $3.8 billion for the company to operate a migrant detention camp on Fort Bliss — its largest contract yet. It's the first time ICE is moving ahead with plans to detain thousands of people arrested on U.S. military bases in tents before deportation.

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

they are busy insider trading

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

Into the light we go. Taken this morning in Glastonbury.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Illegal ideas.

Taking a ten second break to throw confetti at this decision before going back to my lifelong hatred of the Supreme Court

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

Pacific Rim is 13 years old and no big monster movie since has looked as good, felt as believed-in, or bought into its own bullshit so whole-heartedly. Changed the game and perfected it in one stroke

Spotted at Columbia

The so called “SignalGate” scandal certainly got forced out of the news cycle and discussion.

putting this on my resume

Gotta say, I am not encouraged that SCOTUS has not yet resolved the El Salvador kidnapping case.

Is it Great yet

boosting because good and we need more good

I will try to put this in football terms. We are a team that people think is gonna suck, so we have to offer lower prices for season tickets. Thinks of yields (which move opposite to prices) as the amenities—like throwing in hot dogs and drinks to make the tickets more enticing.

I don’t know if folks who haven’t spent time in / closely following Texas understand just how brazenly corrupt Ken Paxton really is. But here’s a thread, if you’re curious…

Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

The Senate just voted 66 to 32 to confirm Trump's investment banker, COVID conspiracy peddler ambassador to Japan. Trump is eviscerating the constitution, and they are pretending like everything is normal. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

John Roberts sucks Follow me for more succinct legal analysis 🤨

John Roberts is the Roger Taney of our time. And the ghost of Dred Scott is hovering around a gulag prison in El Savador. We are no longer a nation of laws, but of man. Really vile, soulless men.

Also- yes it's real they do this. When I first met my girlfriend's grandfather, he asked me "Hey I saw an article in the Atlantic today about orcas eating white sharks, did you read it?" Thus providing me with the greatest first-time-meeting-the-relatives set up of all time... "I wrote it."

How the FedSoc judges on SCOTUS want you think habeas corpus works:

the answer to “what would you have done in germany in 1933” is, for a disturbing number of people, “cooperate eagerly”
