This is unhinged.

Currently targeting Monday—although things could always change. It's just, I hope, the last time I ever have to walk by it 🎉

S OTOMAYOR , J., dissenting
II
Today, the Court takes the astonishing, unexplained step
of staying a state trial court’s order before the state high
court has had a chance to weigh in. To do so, the majority
had to conclude that it has jurisdiction to act, that acting
now is consistent with the bedrock federalism values under-
lying its jurisdictional limits, and that the equities favor
granting this relief despite the Court’s repeated admoni-
tions to proceed cautiously when intervening in state elec-
tions or court proceedings. The Court goes badly wrong at
every turn.

 OTOMAYOR , J., dissenting
Appeals. Supp. App. 102–103. Besides, even if the Appel-
late Division denied defendants leave to appeal the denial
of stay, defendants still may seek that same relief from the
Court of Appeals directly. N. Y. C. P. L. R. §5519(c);
§5602(a)(2) (permitting a litigant to seek leave to appeal
from the Court of Appeals “upon refusal by the appellate
division” as to “an order of the appellate division which does
not finally determine [the] proceeding”).
Until defendants try to obtain relief from New York’s
highest court, this Court cannot and should not act. That
defendants have not taken that modest step should have
resulted in the denial of the stay they seek.3

To me, the NY redistricting case feels like a constitutional crisis in miniature. The Supreme Court is issuing orders it "cannot" issue, Sotomayor explains in her dissent. Yet it did so anyway.

So how should the NY courts react to an order that should never have issued?

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

I realize it is easier to ask Gov. Walz to do a thing there's no chance he will do, than to do anything concrete yourself.

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Re-electing Justice Earls this year is essential, and part of making that happen is ensuring that people understand just how incredible she is. Billy’s book is critical to that effort!

Really worthwhile project about a justice who *must* be reelected this year if democracy will ever be restored in North Carolina.

We killed over 150 people at a girls’ elementary school, so I have follow-up questions about the word “precise.”

I remember being absolutely floored when I got to law school and realized how many of my classmates had never worked a service job. It does not positively impact the field, imho.

There are no new laws, or more court orders, that can solve the problem of a president & an administration that systematically & completely ignores the law, court orders, & the Constitution.

It’s worth emphasizing that the Supreme Court has propped up this presidential lawlessness.

When Congress enacted limits on presidential power in 1973, it included an enforcement provision. If the president said there’s an “emergency from attack” and Congress disagreed, it could order troops home.

The 2026 midterms have to be about impeachment. If you aren’t able to make case to the American people now, you aren’t going to suddenly find the willpower to do what is so obviously necessary after being elected. If we still have a Constitution—or laws at all—impeachment is necessary.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

On a more serious note, in some ways this feels like small potatoes right now, but in other ways…..my god are the consequences of letting somebody like this shape our society—for decades!—significant.

White House to pause $259M in Minnesota Medicaid dollars in fraud crackdown It’s the latest in a growing list of fraud-focused threats and probes from the Trump administration.

It’s hard to describe what it feels like when your government seems to want nothing more than to make your community suffer in every way possible.

Took an Evie home from work today for the first time as we still adjust to becoming a one car family. It was astonishingly easy, clean, and peaceful. Got to park it right in front of my house. And it only cost me $4. Tremendous transit amenity for the Twin Cities.
