It's the weekend. His employees are off engaging in their lives. He has no one to spend time with. So he's just online constantly. It just shows his extreme lack of curiosity or imagination that he can't think of anything better to do even with limitless resources. Go shark diving or whatever.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

the fact five days passed before he even sent this basically demonstrates this is 1A covered speech; clearly no anticipation of an imminent act. second, you can't just halve a metaphor that way. if he thinks he meant real "weapons" he must also believe there's a real "bar fight" occurring someplace.

Seeking: recommendations for up-to-date layman’s guides to tightening social media privacy covering all platforms. It’s surprisingly hard to find thorough guides for basic privacy and data security. It would be a great service for an org to maintain an updated and accessible resource center.

I think the country has the idea that the people working for the federal government who live in DC are all glamorous white people with Ivy League law degrees. Actually a lot of them are Black Washintonians whose jobs holding down the country's infrastructure were humble. @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

As a fmr agency lawyer and admin law practitioner, some tips for comments: 1) Write more than 3-5 pgs, even if it’s repetitive. Agencies may ignore “non-substantive” comments and 3-5pgs is a rule of thumb. 2) Get as specific and concrete. “In paragraph 36 you’re wrong bc…” 3) Don’t use form comments

These are the kinds of stories about the human costs of the Trump-Musk coup that desperately need telling right now. Local news outlets and independent journalists can do a lot of important work here, for their own communities but also for the national effort to push back against this insanity.

So are they going to be shutting down the Catholic student centers? Prayer groups and campus chapels? How about gender-restricted sororities and fraternities? Clubs like chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution? If not, why not?

Any line built on paper or norms won’t hold. Individual self-interest will. So the question is where does it show up? Two examples: (1) Fear of disbarment ending careers for non-grifters, and (2) shareholder profits and financial markets destabilization. Align system integrity with self-interest.

The interesting thing is that the letter is structured so that it seems like no one would have standing to challenge it who would actually want to (other than ABA itself?). Like, he knows it may be unconstitutional. But the only covered political appointees at FTC by now are going to be loyalists.

For this reason, it’s not automatically a given that the DOJ public integrity atty who agreed to file the motion to save their colleagues is a fool/coward. They may feel like they have enough of a public record now (plus sandbagging their own motion) that Judge Ho won’t let them do it anyway.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.
