I can't imagine what goes through somebody's heart, when they take somebody's life for the first time, and their response isn't "holy s*** what did I do" but "fucking bitch"
Even if it was self-defense, even if they had shot at me first, I'd still be horrified.
Maybe I'm weird.

So generating sexualized images of children is a premium feature then?
Elon Musk's AI company has restricted Grok's controversial AI image-generation feature to only paying subscribers on X, after the tool invited heated criticism from across the world for letting users generate sexualized images of women and children.

I just saw a video of an ICE agent grabbing a woman, and the person filming starts screaming "Ma!" over and over, and the terror and despair in her voice is going to scar me for a while.

JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation. We were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States ... say a prayer for that agent ... he deserves a debt of gratitude."

The thing about our rapid descent into this authoritarian state is that we can't keep just saying "this thing is hard/might be impossible so we won't try."
Try. Sue for the evidence. Send MN cops to the FBI to demand copies of the documents/information. Make a spectacle in the name of justice

My initial impulse is that MN should sue for access to the case materials. But, I'm shooting from the hip. I have no idea what such a cause of action would look like or its viability. To my knowledge, a complete federal freeze-out is unprecedented (please correct me if I'm wrong). 3/3

I had a friend who named his cat and dog Twombly and Iqbal, respectively.
Civ Pro heads, has there been any major case law development about pleading FACTS since 1990? I just have NO idea!
The gov't has filed a motion to dismiss the class action Broadview ICE facility lawsuit for containing too many "impertinent" details about detainees.

five years ago the president of the united states incited an insurrection in order to try to retain power and it is a comprehensive failure at every level - media, law enforcement, courts, politicians and most of all the voters - that he has returned to power and threatens the stability of the world

Michigan State actually showed a lot of fight in this game. Going to Nebraska is a hornets nest, especially with this being their Super Bowl. Not having Divine hurt us with some lineups. Can’t beat anyone turning the ball over 19 times. Jax was incredible. This one just annoys me bc it was winnable.

The worst part about this game is that my dog is very sensitive so I can't shout or stress too loudly or he gets huffy. 😂😭

Only slightly related but I love asking gun nuts here in Texas to tell me what the first words of the second amendment actually are.
It will be funny to watch this Supreme Court find ambiguity w birth right citizenship after having claimed the second amendment allows no restrictions on weapons of war
Worth repeating: The Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Anyone who thought that this nakedly partisan supreme Court would do anything different was either delusional or misinformed.
BREAKING: Supreme Court sides with Texas Republicans in fight over congressional map. The new gerrymandered map will be used in the 2026 midterms. The vote is 6–3, with the Republican appointees siding with Texas.
