We can call it a win, but it's just temporary while they consider the merits of the case. One of the most important things we can do when bringing these suits is not to give the court a pretext to throw it out, like asking for too much in the way of relief.

If you think this isn't a big deal because it doesn't affect you personally, you're part of the problem. Next on the chopping block: interracial marriage. See, it's all about that White TFR. The goal is for White women to have no choice but to crap out [pure] White babies.

Re-upping my piece on now-Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in light of his confirmation last night. "Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and National Guard members may soon find themselves the last line of defense against an unlawful order that could irrevocably damage our country."

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.
