the political bloc that made heroes of Rittenhouse and Zimmerman after their trials should probably have thought through the downstream probabilities before very publicly arresting judges for doing legal and virtuous things

The soundtrack for the first third of 2025 is just a mechanical voice intoning "TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP." over and over and over again.

go fash no smash

Ossoff has arguably the most important 2026 race of any Democratic incumbent, so him saying this is a big moment.

Can't wait until Trump's DHS spokespeople start trying to convince us this American toddler is actually a wife beating human trafficker

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country. Details w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

“What that means is that, de facto, every Spanish speaking traffic stop becomes an immigration stop.”

What a good, strong statement. With alt text:

Indiana state legislature just staged a hostile takeover of IU, functionally eliminating tenure, promising to close smaller (hum) majors, taking over the IU board, and cutting the IU budget. This is so bleak

It seems like the federal government wanted to commandeer the judge into doing their law enforcement work, which they cannot do as a constitutional matter. Refusing to assist the federal government is not the same as actively impeding law enforcement. This is highly suspect behavior from the feds.

JUST IN: A Milwaukee judge has been arrested this morning allegedly because she “tried to help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week.” There’s not a lot of info on this yet so stay tuned for more as it is released. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

it’s kinda hilarious that the California bar found a LESS ethical option than “have Kaplan, which sells bar prep, write the bar exam”

if every billionaire in the world woke up tomorrow in an underground bunker and a robotic voice announced “a nuclear war began yesterday, you have been identified as an essential asset to humanity and evacuated to this secure location” they would buy it & have fun & we’d be rid of them for a while

Thanks for reports about the alt text generator! It’s fixed & I improved the speed a good bit As always: private, local, energy efficient, no data storage, no training, source code is linked, always edit it 🎉 assisted.site/alt An example, including how I screenshot when I don’t want to link:

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

has anyone calculated the cost of energy to keep a human alive for the number of microseconds it takes us to think about an answer to a simple question vs. the cost of energy per query for ChatGPT? it kinda seems like it's actually MORE expensive (in energy) per question answered than humans

I've been struggling with what besides "fight him in every way possible" to ask my good Democratic congressperson for lately, and if you've been feeling the same, joining these letter writing campaigns might be a good ask for yours...

I read the AI welfare article that I'm not linking because I'm back on the quote-dunking wagon and no, it does not say anything about concerns for the welfare of future women being exposed to men who are practicing gendered abuse techniques on AI from the time they hit puberty

next week's headline will be "trump appointee going door to door forcing children to lick a baby turtle"

it's officially spring i sunburned my fucking hair part

I should be verified solely for the fact that my old tweets are STILL making the front page on reddit and that site’s been dead long enough to observe its yahrzeit on this site

the time my satirical advice column in the name of George Lazenby was censored with magic marker in my high school newspaper and I overthrew the principal in retaliation was not the childhood experience I expected to be my best preparation for 2025, but c’est la vie

"Law students organize to give Trump-caving firms a recruitment problem" Georgetown Law students made a spreadsheet. National coverage followed. Now, the world's richest firms face PR & recruitment headaches. An organizer on how it unfolded @www.AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/skadden-st...

I keep seeing people comparing this to Watergate, but this is much worse

'“If something is fully reliant on philanthropic funding — or even frankly 50 percent — that is not sustainable long term,” Mr. Brizard said in an interview.' Actually it COULD be if your billionaire benefactor weren't a coward and loser who threw you under the bus.

The staff of a program that helps millions of poor families keep the electricity on, in part so babies don’t die from extreme heat or cold, have all been fired. The office overseeing the enforcement of child support payments nationally has been hollowed out.

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

he’s turning six this month but forever the babiest baby (disclaimer: horses have big teeth and can’t see at the ends of their noses, don’t let horses nibble your face parts, my horse is atypical)

Went back, still no eagles. This place is a bust

Begging everyone in California to attend your local school board meeting and work like hell to keep MAGA racists & transphobes away from public school kids.

Btw, patently obsequious gifts are common in Ru; they just happen to work on Trump too. I once had an interview w a court admin in Moscow and a provincial judge (dependent on the admin) was in the waiting room w me and he had brought a handwoven tapestry portrait of the admin as a gift!
