New: Judge Perry's ruling against Texas troops in Chicago is a banger.

1. Invokes Hamilton
2. Rips into ICE for lying
3. Says "law enforcement officers who go into an event expecting 'a shitshow' are much more likely to experience one than those who go into the event prepared to de-escalate it.

The rapid response networks and protests against ice really show that the received notion that people don’t like immigrants is a lie

People are risking their well-being to do the right thing and to protect their communities against an occupying force

The genocide doesn’t end so long as there’s a famine, no hospitals working fully, no shelter… so our obligation hasn’t ended. Right?

Six families, mostly kids, one mom due to give birth imminently, need food.

A find.

A magazine called stitchcraft from Jan 1950. On the cover is a white man with dark hair on a bicycle. He is wearing a shirt, red tie, a multi-coloured fair Isle sleeveless jumper, and dark green trousers. He looks pretty happy despite living under rationing.

I keep seeing this stuff too

I worry they’re gonna use this to delete a bunch of resources and info

In my field they already had started to take down what was publicly available stuff before the shutdown even started

It should be like well into the three figures with a panel system

Like there are iirc 179 circuit judgeships not counting senior status judges

Why not make it the same number? Or at least like 150 or something?

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

It puzzles me why certain men are unwilling to interact with women except when they want a date

Y’all

If you don’t like women why do you insist on trying to date them
