Hoo-wee, this will be a hot opening: an appellate attorney at the Federal Defenders of San Diego! Renowned training, brilliant colleagues, beautiful location. All the jobs I post here are someone's dream, but this is an S-tier appellate position.

Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision.
After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.
Read the outstanding law review article by Chesa Boudin and @ericfish.bsky.social linked in the piece—GJ reform is an absolutely necessary bulwark against tyranny. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/o...

I have so little sympathy for “prosecutor suddenly realizes what their job has always been.” Quitting today is obviously the best option, but following up with “I want to go back to 2016” isn’t doing what you think it is!
The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
Fascinating idea... now would be the time to test drive it

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there
The NRA is a gun rights organization the way the Ku Klux Klan is a speech rights organization.
This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.
It's all white supremacy and greed.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

Cops shooting a woman = no problem
Cops asking you to wear a mask during a pandemic = George Washington and Jesus didn’t fight tyranny for me to wear a mask or stay home.
Prof. Michael Mannheimer (author of a leading article on the subject) explains why federal officers do NOT have anything like absolute immunity from prosecution for violating state law: reason.com/volokh/2026/...
Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog X.com It's totally irrelevant whether she was trying to hit the ICE agent or not. Either she wanted to hit him or she wanted to evade arrest and escape and didn't care if she hit him in the process. There is zero moral or legal difference between these two scenarios. In either case she is 100 percent to blame and her death is her own fault. 9:39 AM • 1/9/26 • 219K Views
Conservatives: “We need the 2nd Amendment to protect ourselves from gov’t tyranny!”
Also conservatives: “Anyone who doesn’t immediately surrender to masked gov’t agents, particularly those who have no jurisdiction or probable cause, should face summary execution!”
@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."
“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

there is no constituency that needs you to fall all over yourself to call Maduro illegitimate before you dare criticize Trump. Voters have been down this road before. No one thought Saddam Hussein was a nice guy. Criticism of Maduro at this stage correctly reads as a defense of Trump to most people.
if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly

matt & co’s theory of how public opinion on immigration would respond to new information was simply empirically wrong.
at this point the only reasonable conclusion is they refuse to update their priors w/ new data because the data is inconvenient for them

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

but the claim that there is no partisan divide in rates of antisemitism is wrong. Look at the fourth chart of this post: yalepolling.substack.com/p/we-polled-...
The dynamics are a little different in the 9th because no judge, other than the chief, is guaranteed a spot on the en banc court.
