Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday! Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action. NEVER talk to police & always STFU! Full video in thread👇

CALLED IT:

Hey, you! Yes, you the person reading this message! Have you considered submitting a talk to RailsConf? The deadline is one week from today! railsconf.org

Brilliant move by Judge Ho to appoint Clement as amicus here. Given Clement's conservative credentials and extraordinary record in appellate and Supreme Court litigation, it will be difficult for the Trump administration to challenge this move.

Giving some information today about creditor's rights and person mentions "well what if creditor is the IRS?" I pause take a deep breath and hold my nose "I mean the creditor may not be as motivated as they were" I am not a fan of this timeline, he understood I was doing my job.

Calling up a clerk’s office at 8:00am & getting a lovely & informative person on this chilly snowy morning, knowing they do not get paid enough. Bless them.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

This is terrifying. And important.

So it's confirmed I will be back on La Croisette in May. If you want to hire an excellent critic to cover the Cannes film festival for you please get in touch!

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

More of this from everyone!! www.si.com/nfl/vikings/...

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trump’s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

Judge schools really need to spend more time teaching prior-restraint doctrine. (Which is the most obvious but not only reason why this order is wildly, preposterously unconstitutional.)

Charlottesville roads aren't in great shape right now — even major thoroughfares. Stay where you are if you can. ❄️

They always say "get a lawyer." Knowing your rights but not having enough $$ to exercise your rights is the reality of most American lives. To be fired then be told to get a lawyer is...not happening. Please let there be nonprofits/lawyers stepping into void.

I do not understand how my job expects me to work when a. its snowing b. I have put in my notice (more on that later) c. the world is on fire d. existential dread.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

I’m old enough to remember when this senator was lied to last time and Americans women and children suffered. Oh and Maine continues to re-elect her. We all are losers here

No. This will not stand. We must demand better from our leaders this time. We must protect and respect the professionals who risked everything to get the truth to the American people about this mayor’s illegal activities and “deal” with this president.

I can’t wait to start skeeting some baseball with y’all. I need it.

It is important to understand that is absolute not the longstanding norm. The Congress makes/passes laws. The Executive branch executes the laws. The Judicial branch interprets on the law. On that last point, one might say, the Judicial branch is the one that gives the opinions on the law.

A scandal calling the basic fitness of the president & every one of his major subordinates into question. Any child would know better than to fire the bird flu people, & would rightly expect to be punished if they had done so

Just back from a crisp evening walk with 14yo and the dog to learn school is closed tomorrow. Not gonna lie, I’m ready for spring.

Nothing like UVA Law getting called out here. FFS get it together UVA LAW grads-be on the right side of history

This is fucking incredible.

This article highlights the importance of professionals and regulations that support professionals doing the quiet work that serve to protect us in ways we hope to never have to know. wapo.st/4bmxt17

It is not, in fact, required to put this obviously bullshit pretense up at the top of every DOGE story

And this question from @jamellebouie.net is not far fetched. The CDC used to collaborate closely with WHO to determine the composition of the next flu vaccine. A highly coordinated, data-driven process that involved global influenza surveillance, virological analysis, and vaccine strain selection.

"hey siri, what is the quickest path i could take to destroy the confidence that keeps commercial passenger flight viable?"

Getting an MMR booster is typically cheaper and easier than checking to see if you’re still immune. Lots of PCPs will be able to give it on the spot as opposed to sending out bloodwork and having to come back.

This seems ill advised

This needs to go viral.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

Quit overreacting Said so many Germans in the 1930s !

I finally got my MLB.tv renewal notice, I cant wait to watch this season of baseball (even though there can still be major improvements)
