I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

Mom? Hey, it's JD. Yeah, work is going great. They're giving me so much important stuff to do. So do you know what baitposting is? No... (chuckle), no it's not one of my anime things. Iran? No, I'm actually not sure, someone's gonna let me know.

Crazy how much of the population believes Biden rigged the election while Trump was president, but not that Biden rigged the election while Biden was president bsky.app/profile/atru...

Really hate that it took Dems 4 months longer than it took me to realize getting arrested was the only way forward. Just wish they had this gumption during the initial DOGE days. bsky.app/profile/bruf...

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

“What is the draw anymore if the mission is rooted in who the president is and your job can be taken without warning or process?” the Labor attorney asked. “Who in their right mind will ever take a gamble on a government job again?”

Homicide across the US is dropping to levels not seen since the 1970s, in some places even earlier. Cities like Philly have seen 50% drops over two years. Covid spike is GONE. It's a truly STAGGERING decline in lethality. And coverage compared to the 2020-21 spike? CRICKETS.

Here’s the thing I’m not totally sure we aren’t in the midst of a civil war

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

This is actually...compelling? Eloquent, in its way? Certainly human. And while Trump rode into office on the votes of low engagement voters, those voters by definition don't have strong internal narratives operating and can easily flip on a topic based on images and videos

Conservatives are crowing about this over on twitter, not realizing. It's almost as if there's objective moral facts that force convergence, and reactionaries are a coalition of dipshits clinging to a jumble of disparate arbitrary instincts, traditions, or rationalizations against the truth.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

Here is your statistic of the day: Nine out of 10 federal employees laid off by DOGE since March worked in liberal-leaning agencies. All proposed budget increases go to conservative agencies, with the bulk going to the most conservative agencies.
