ICE wants you dead. They are a clear and present danger to the lives and civil liberties of every single American.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.
Stop the lies.

Weird how all the people who tried to get everyone fired for saying anything about Charlie Kirk's murder that wasn't donning sackcloth and smearing ashes on their head have suddenly revisited their opposition to celebrating a murder, isn't it?

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.

Bluesky likes to think of itself as less toxic, but it truly is not. It's just that the people who view it like that think *they* have the right to be toxic for they are Righteous.
Parker and I agree on some things, disagree on others. But she is a model of thoughtfulness and good-faith. For shame.

While it was necessitated for treatment/recovery from an injury, taking pretty much the final three weeks of the year off of work *and social media* was delightfully refreshing and I may just have to make that an annual tradition.

I do have some beef with FIRE, though. They keep getting important Tennessee cases that would otherwise come to me, because they provide free services to people whose expression is threatened, and I generally can’t compete with free.

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.
It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

"[R]epeatedly naming the same group of defendants in new cases until a case is assigned to a judge the plaintiff believes to be hospitable to joinder constitutes an abuse of process."
Judge Blakey orders Marc Jacobs (represented by GBC) to show cause as to why the case should not be dismissed for abuse of process, following a series of amend-down-to-one maneuvers:
![MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff filed a
supplemental brief [16], which indicates that, prior to initiating this case, Plaintiff named
all of the defendants identified in this case in three prior cases. In each of those cases,
Plaintiff voluntarily amended its complaint to drop all but one defendant once the case
was assigned to a particular judge. Such conduct suggests that Plaintiff lacks a good faith
factual and legal basis to join the defendants in a single proceeding. And repeatedly
naming the same group of defendants in new cases until a case is assigned to a judge the
plaintiff believes to be hospitable to joinder constitutes an abuse of process. As a result,
the Court issues an order to show cause on or before 12/15/2025, why this case should not
be dismissed for an abuse of process. Mailed notice. (evw, )](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hvwhptk4oerwsuzau66ikwfy/bafkreihvek5xfrwxrau5ccx7k3zqyb2z6mtmsozwyqeokvunym4dpsbgl4@jpeg)
