The gist from the Court here is that because the grand jury refused to indict them over the entirely fabricated claims, the criminal process did not get far enough to constitute a deprivation of liberty. Just deprivation of their future football careers, educations, and reputations.

the fine sensory connection to the dial and the keypad are (somewhat) diminished now

in principle I could do it a similar way now, subvocalizing the phone number every time

one low-effort, low-information, low-trust individual being so irritable, loud and overbearing the whole world must accommodate him isn't just our president, it is a significant social dysfunction

I'm 58 years old. I can still call some of my childhood friends' moms at home. Those phone numbers are burned into my brain.

Picture: music venue in Tomball Texas, with James McMurtry, Steve Earle, Marc Broussard, Crystal Gayle and Lee Greenwood on the marquee, in that ordered from top to bottm.

Tweet by James McMurtry: "Speaker Jonson thinks Leee Greenwood has broader appeal than Bad Bunny. Per capita broader in the 'Slewfoot' sense no doubt, but apparently Lee Greenwood plays the same room i do in Tomball, Tx. Can i play the Super Bowl? Put me in coach. "

On deck: purging ideologically refractory judges

Tormented🕷Abroad @jjgass.bsky.social · 4d

I've said it before, but it's remarkable how quickly the feds have managed to piss away the seemingly ironclad presumption of candor & credibility they enjoyed with federal judges.

They've lied so shamelessly, flagrantly, & frequently that judges have decided not to be played for fools any more.

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

The tellings-off from federal district court benches seem have grown more frequent of late, this seems to be a significant one -- it tolls the death of presumption of regularity.

Judges are openly calling bullshit on Trump.

for me Dobbs tipped the scales of legitimacy: taking away women's rights and making women second-class citizens does not sit right with me

One-panel cartoon: a broad, tall tree trunk labeled "executive", with one already sawn-off branch labeled "legislative."

On the opposed branch labeled "judicial," a man wearing protective googles and a judicial robe stands on the branch he is cutting from the tree.

the dipshittery and goonery are off the charts

I've never seen a US government more radical, more destructive or more extreme in my life

God bless David Geffen for propelling Judee Sill (only because I can't bless David Geffen.) The appearance of Judee Sill in the early 1970s was a radiant miracle, so much of the music then was.
