So very, very confused by it all. But, heck, that keeps it interesting.

One insurance denial for Teressa’s husband stated, “your newborn does not meet the criteria for coverage.”

“This is when I really start to think they’re just denying,” she recalled. “They’re not even looking. They’re just ‘deny, deny, deny.’”

Just a reminder that "en banc" review in the Ninth Circuit is ... unique.

The full court (29 active judges, currently with a 16-13 D-R split) votes on whether or not to rehear a case en banc.

If so, then *10* judges are randomly drawn to sit with Chief Judge Murguia as the "en banc" court.

This Anthropic settlement is weird bc yeah for sure pay up, but also if they’d asked to purchase the rights to use my books for their trash I would have said no, so doing it anyway and then paying in the form of a settlement is still slimy backdoor shit

Had to explain this repeatedly during the 2020 interregnum: the Insurrection Act and martial law are not the same thing
Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.

Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.
Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.

@cnn.com Trump told a dinner with ballroom donors there were “zero zoning conditions” for the project.

"Even if these boats have drugs on them, there is no enabling legislation, no authorization, that says the President of the United States can decide drug runners are bad and he can kill them anywhere in the world."

There is no forgiving a Trump voter.

They are essentially irredeemable regardless of regrets they espouse.

Attending a protest is meaningless til they pass at least 3 elections w/o voting GOP or abstaining.

They lack compassion for others or they’d never have voted for him. They can’t be trusted.
omg!

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Fifteen years ago, Gov. Perdue announced my appointment to the Court of Appeals of GA. I’ll always be grateful for the confidence & trust he placed in me with that decision. These have been the most wonderful, challenging, & humbling years of my life. I’m truly blessed to have a vocation I love.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

I've been seeing quite a few MAGA edgelord accounts today.

Friendly reminder:

Block immediately, and do not engage.

I know they're not having as much fun on twitter with so many of us here, but it's not our job to pet them and feed them little treats of attention.

Do not engage.
