This is my blood I marvel at the design of our weapons. So sophisticated that they can transform any man woman or child into a terrorist. Writing in their flight between launch and concussion an entire alternate history of a life. Just as the cop’s bullet convicts you of a crime. Its presence in your body evidence enough that it always belonged there. A violent transubstantiation.
This is my blood
"WE WILL STAND ALONGSIDE UNIONS AND EXPAND LABOR PROTECTIONS" THAT'S THE FUCKING TALKING POINT. EXPAND, NOT JUST PROTECT!
Permission to have this airbrushed onto the hood of my Trans Am?
It’s not an OSHA violation if the workers willingly inflict the psychic damage on themselves.
Go MAGA, suck assa
Preparing my legal memo for President Pritzker’s 2029 War on White Collar Crime where every white prep school dipshit with a punchable face can be subject to a “brief” raid of his house to ensure he’s not a criminal.
Having fought long court battles about what a word in a statute means, it’s hard to explain to ppl that SCOTUS thinks “[The President] shall take Care that the Laws are faithfully executed” in the Constitution means the President can simply ignore the laws passed by Congress.
There is no single person more responsible for Jeffrey Epstein becoming rich and powerful enough to start a child trafficking ring than Les Wexner. If Wexner doesn't elevate Epstein, none of it happens. Some of Epstein's rapes even happened on Wexner's 300+ acre compound in New Albany, Ohio.
I can’t believe we’re living through this right now. The literal foundations of slavery and apartheid gaining traction in American law.
While the rest of us are working, grocery shopping, and driving our kids to soccer practice, the prevailing SCOTUS justices have spent decades having their brains cooked by right-wing media and being elevated by weirdo billionaires. Of course they don’t understand how real life works.
Bove then made a remark concerning the possibility that a court order would enjoin those removals before they could be effectuated. Bove stated that DOJ would need to consider telling the courts "fuck you” and ignore any such court order. Mr. Reuveni perceived that others in the room looked stunned, and he observed awkward, nervous glances among people in the room. Silence overtook the room. Mr. Reuveni and others were quickly ushered out of the room. Notwithstanding Bove's directive, Mr. Reuveni left the meeting understanding that DOJ would tell DHS to follow all court orders.21
Bombshell allegations by a DOJ whistleblower: Emil Bove—whom Trump has nominated to a federal appeals court—lied to courts and willfully defied their orders, then illegally fired the lawyers who tried to tell the truth in court.
A massively damning document. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.
Holy shit they cited Geduldig v. Aiello, a case everyone had a good laugh at in law school for its baby-brained stupidity.
“The college is engaging in bad-faith bargaining, because they do have an obligation to sign…I really feel that this is an intention to weaken the contract language” — Biology Professor and United Faculty at COTC President Martin Schmerr
the people here probably already know this but really spread this far and wide:
tell your normal offline friends and family to stop using ChatGPT for legal advice. it's happening constantly now. I'm always explaining to people why the advice this silly thing gave them is not real legal advice.
Immigrants subject to removal have never gotten full trials, but if you’re sending them to a foreign gulag for life, then that’s the very least you owe them.
Advisors are just putting pictures and Executive Orders in front of him and he accepts anything they tell him as true. I know ppl in prison for doing this to the elderly over their wills. But here it’s the goddamn POTUS.
Hey i know there's a lot going on, but you need to know about this bill in #Ohio

Solidarity from Ohio. Our successful fight to overturn the anti-union SB5 in 2011 still ripples through our state politics.
My college prof had a good response to appeals to Confederate “heritage:”
“Oh, your great-great-great grandpappy died fighting for the South? Good. He was an asshole and he deserved it.”
Hmm…carrying large amounts of cash is associated with gang activity. And she’s wearing white in the story photo, which is associated with the Aryan Brotherhood. Anyone have a “confidential informant” sheet they want to fill out?
Just tell the guy he’s going to burn in Hell and be done with it.
Enough with the pollsters and strategists. The Kilmar Abrego Garcia case will help determine if our govt follows our baseline constitutional principles or not. Optics don’t matter.
No one should be above the law, most especially the President.
Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.
They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.
The last 40 years have seen a transfer of trillion$ from workers to the 1%, but fear not, the billionaires who’ve benefited are now in power and are definitely, totally going to reverse things in favor of working ppl.
If you are not furious at what our government did to these people, there’s something wrong with you.
The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.
Exactly right. So the govt would have to have gone through the process of getting the withholding changed to give him something to challenge. I guess the cruelty and lawlessness is the point, though.
I paused at this argument as well. But it appears they detained him on Mar 12, he told his wife they might remove him on Mar 15, and then they flew him to El Salvador that same day. All admittedly in error. Either real due process exists or it doesn’t.
