Do not normalize frickin’ Nazi salutes. For crying out loud.

Nixon caught some hell for saying, “if the president does it, then it’s not illegal.” But this is more egregious.

Trumps comment simply drives home his alienness. Standing against his degeneracy is standing with America. We don’t have masters. We don’t bow to tyrants. Americas civic tradition is complex, democratic, libertarian, raucous, conflicted. It abhors tyrants.

from my disabled son, Merry Christmas

My official age is “Too old to understand the Kendrick Lamar/Drake thing.”

When Ted Cruz let Trump talk crazy about his wife and didn't do shit but gargle his balls when he dropped out the primary I knew politics wasn't for me. I'd throw anybody under the bus to defend my family. I'm not the bigger person 😂😂😂

Police in are investigating an attack on a rabbi as a hate crime after a man attacked with a wooden stake, authorities said. The incident took place at approximately 9:53 a.m. on the 1400 block of Arcola Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland. abcnews.go.com/US/maryland-...

I have set up three lists here - one for MD attorneys, one for wage/hour attorneys nationwide in the US, and one for transit/urbanism. if you want on these lists, let me know.

Most people don’t know that slavery still exists. Amendment 13 abolishes slavery except where imprisoned. There should be no exceptions to abolish slavery.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Acceptable

Please retweet this to help connect attorneys here on Bluesky, who represent workers in FLSA, title VII, local wage and hour, scale pay, wrongful termination and other wage collection cases.

definitely looks like there might be something to the NYT national level polling Dems doing better in suburbs in red states, and GOP doing better than expected in exurbs

Filthy bastard

Can someone please explain why the word for people who throw out 80 years of precedent is "conservative"? What is being conserved?

Floridians - Uber is offering free rides to authorized shelters in the path of Hurricane Milton with the code MILTONRELIEF - everyone else please reskeet so people see it www.heraldtribune.com/story/weathe...

‘Cases of damage and desecration to Jewish property rose by 246% from 24 in the first half of 2023 to 83 between Jan and June 2024. There were 142 incidents of threats in the six months from January to June. This is a rise of 158% from 55 in the same period a year ago’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This slow motion drop out by Biden has all of the spontaneity of a rocket launch

The Supreme Court of Georgia describing an obvious basis for recusal: you accuse a judge of prejudice and he acts unprofessionally in response. Mondy v. Magnolia Advanced Materials, Inc., 815 S.E.2d 70, 81 (Ga. 2018)

This is loser behavior

During World War II, far from Normandy’s beaches, French paratroopers and resistance members fought a rear-guard action to keep the Nazis at bay. It's a battle with a tragic end that few in France know about, let alone commemorate.

Sweet Jesus. I knew our opioid problem was bad -- it has been bad for generations -- but not THIS bad, or this much of an outlier. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/23/u...

$100 to whoever in the media can con Biden and Trump into weighing in on Kendrick v Drake.

Also Columbia is kind of fucked by its location. It’s a trolley problem. If they have to call in law enforcement, that law enforcement is NYPD, justifiably notorious and culturally berserk. It’s like deciding whether to go to the ER when the guy on call is Dr. Kevorkian.

As @kenwhite.bsky.social would say: Shut the fuck up and tell the university officials to speak to your lawyer. Under no circumstances should a student sign anything.

As a casual observation, if you are a physically disabled person who /cannot/ use a car, then cars are actively hostile to your presence in your city.

Primaries are for protest votes

A much loved appellate colleague recently retired and moved to France. She invited me to come visit and do some fly fishing. Should I go? Reskeet for yes, ignore for no. [PS we need SkyPolls :)]
