More of this from politicians. They're farther along the list than Mahmoud Khalil but they're on it too.

There's something so wild about the original Netflix Daredevil series being centrally about a defense lawyer fighting to prevent Kingpin (Wilson Fisk) from gentrifying his low income neighborhood. Right down to how it portrays corruption. (1/?)

I cannot call because my number isn't American anymore but tell Senators NO on the CR

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

It's also not like Americans have been moving in droves to Canada for the last 15 years in order to escape this shit, no no

#Toronto, what place in your neighbourhood has great live music?

Documents unearthed as part of a legal challenge show the Doug Ford government received expert evidence that planned bike lane removals could worsen traffic congestion in Toronto and lead to injuries. #BikeTO #ToPoli #OnPoli

#Idaho teacher ordered to remove signs stating all her students were welcome. Pray tell, school administration, which students aren't welcome? Maybe she should modify it to "isnt" and see how it flies. #fascism

uh oh i read too many headlines and now i can feel my amygdala taking the driver’s seat

"The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law" "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law" "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law" "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law"

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

On Al-Jazeera today (Monday, March 10), talking about the historic agreement between Syrian interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly Abu Mohammed al-Jolani) and SDF leader Gen. Farhad Abdi Shaheen (formerly Mazloum Abdi). This should help end a potential rift between Damascus and Syrian Kurds.

Excellent news coming out of Syria

if you as an American Jew do not want to be used as the excuse for Trump's destruction of civil liberties and basic democratic protections, the time to speak out is right now

We as Americans define our values - not Trump. Good read from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social of LawDork

crazy that people are just posting this out in the open

Mike Marinella, spokesperson for the National Republican Campaign Committee, said Friday in a statement. “They’re deliberately making our country less safe and less prosperous just to score political points.” — the party that sinks airplanes to blame DEI

My feed is too weighted towards politics and news, any suggested accounts to follow to dilute it a bit? I don't mind if they also post politics mind you, but my feed on the Old Site that Shall Not Be Named was a bit more varied I'm into music, sci-fi, and pop culture more broadly.

Could it be true, could the Eglinton Crosstown actually be opening this summer? Fingers crossed. Should have been build a full subway, but better transit is still better transit. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa0o...

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

One thing that goes unmentioned in this article, but deserves to be mentioned, is the suppression of organized labor. American industry moved south in part to avoid unions which once dominated in the north. www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-union...

Rewatching the #Netflix #Daredevil show after a co-worker brought it up having re-watched it for the new show and I love how it's partly about defence lawyers who fight to hold corporate power accountable and scumlords from fucking over their rent-controlled clients.

having been in many rooms where protests are initially orchestrated, i can say sights like this are a highly desired outcome. protests are inherently theatrical & part of that is triggering state actors to unwittingly adopt the role they were born to play.

just set up my domain I've been sitting on as my handle! very cool

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?
