I’m quite sick and need movie recommendations. Whatcha got, Bluesky?
I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.
Michael S. Schmidt • @nytmike x.com NEW and BREAKING: In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court. DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court. A day ago, DOJ had a very different position.
You gotta be kidding me
'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here.
I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!
In 30 minutes, @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org will talk to @alanrozenshtein.com about the Pentagon's designation of the AI company Anthropic as a supply chain risk.
Watch the discussion live on Lawfare's YouTube channel: youtube.com/live/KLFhAk6...
to be honest about sagging trust in news you'd have to talk about corporatism, corporate power, and the ad engagement model's corrosive impact on truth. You'd also have to be honest about right wing propaganda.
Being honest about any of this is a financial risk, so they just ignore all of it.

DEVELOPING: Superseding indictment returned in Don Lemon Minnesota church protest case. Local press says more defendants added and arrested. Awaiting more details. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/27... Report: www.kare11.com/article/news...
@annabower.bsky.social is doing one of the most important jobs in American journalism right now: showing up to federal courts and telling us exactly what is being said and done in there in our names as it happens 🫡
The email also says that prosecutors are on track to present the indictment to the grand jury by Wednesday. Singh replies on Sunday, May 18: "Let's keep close hold until we get clearance."
Patton: Clearance means approval, right?
McGuire: Not sure what he meant by "clearance"...still not sure
This guy (a Pentagon official) has tweeted about Anthropic no less than 7 times over the past 2 hours.
Under Secretary of War Emil... V @USWREMichael X.com It's a shame that @DarioAmodei is a liar and has a God-complex. He wants nothing more than to try to personally control the US Military and is ok putting our nation's safety at risk. The @DeptofWar will ALWAYS adhere to the law but not bend to whims of any one for-profit tech company. ^ Axios 2 @axios
Ummmmmmm
