Horrible opinion in the Ninth. What’s at stake 👇🏽

Liza Goitein @lizagoitein.bsky.social · 26m

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

Washington Post editorial board, 2 days ago: "The idea that Trump is easily swayed by Putin, let alone manipulated or controlled by him, does not hold water."

Bill Grueskin @bgrueskin.bsky.social · 1d

Shouting match. Cursing.

And this ⤵️

Trump "adopted many of Putin’s talking points verbatim, even when they contradicted his own statements about Russia’s weaknesses..

"Trump told Zelenskyy that Putin had told him the conflict was a 'special operation, not even a war.'”

you gotta imagine that people protesting with NO KINGS signs in London, a city that very famously does in fact have a king, makes a whole other bonus group of people very mad

We’re in the middle of a nationwide frog costume supply chain crisis. Thanks, Trump.

A demonstrator wearing a bright green inflatable frog costume at a packed No Kings rally in Washington, DC. The frog has red eyes, is wearing a blue neckerchief, and is holding an American flag. A little bit of a person's face is sticking out the clear window of the costume.

A person in an inflatable frog costume stands on a rectangular, cement flower pot above a crowd of #NoKings protesters. The frog is covered in decorative black spots and is wearing a blue bandana. Nearby, two people wearing seahorse costumes, one pink and one purple, stand next to each other holding hands while other people mill around them.

Official count estimates are up - before it was "nearly 7m" then it was "roughly 7m" now it is officially "more than 7m." Trend is up!

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism
