There's only one person who's allowed to enter someone's home without a warrant, and that is Santa.

This is unprecedented judicial overreach and will have a chilling effect on dragon lawyers everywhere reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Welcome new followers. Here are 2 of my cats, pretending they like each other.

Dinner on my last day of mini vacation appears to be cake (him) and cheese (me).

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

The United States of America is child trafficking.

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

If you're negotiating about what kinds of people the American SS is allowed to blackbag and whisk away to a foreign gulag, you've already lost

Me me! I advocate for due process.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

My cat in his emo phase.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Kate Morrissey is a fabulous journalist and her immigration work is top notch.

We are less than 3 months in. The regime is disappearing men to foreign prisons & wholly disregarding the judicial branch. Folks, authoritarianism is already here. We cannot keep going about our day.* *I say this as someone who is about to go about my day. We need a general strike, and soon!

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Obligatory earthquake skeet! My first one for Bluesky, how exciting.

When you are one hundred percent committed to battling anti-semitism:

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.

Victim complex

Debating what we can do to fix our national debt is really simple simple. TAX the rich. TAX the rich. TAX the rich. That’s the answer. Not cut Medicaid or Medicare or the veterans help or any social programs like Social Security. Easy tax the rich. TAX the Rich TAX the rich.

Wasting time before teaching and I overhear a student say "This is a free country."

By law you must declare all ideas to CBP at the border or port of entry, so that they can review and ensure that you only bring in approved ones. All unauthorized ideas will be consigned to the Mar-a-Lago Archive.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

Dred Scott was a decision about diversity jurisdiction. It always comes wrapped in the guise of procedural technicalities.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

How the FedSoc judges on SCOTUS want you think habeas corpus works:

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

I've watched this too many times. 5 stars, no notes.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

as a california native I feel qualified to say this may be the most california headline ever

First #Padres game of the season!

Can we please remember that John Adams literally represented the Redcoats who did the Boston Massacre. Like, if you’re going to wave the goddamn flag and say that lawyers ought not to represent clients you disagree with or who are allegedly guilty, then you’re just confused about American lawyers.

have you taken your meds have you eaten something have you made a small token to the ancient elder gods
