🚨2-1 panel of the 9th Circuit (2 Trump vs 1 Clinton appointee) permits Trump to deploy the National Guard in Portland.

The majority opinion finds that Trump properly considered the situation from June through September, and declares the ICE protests disruptive enough to call out the Guard.

Meanwhile, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has granted the Trump administration's motion for a stay in Oregon v. Trump, regarding National Guard deployment in Portland.

The AWS outage exposes again that “the cloud” isn’t magic, it’s infrastructure. The issue isn’t a cyberattack, it’s architectural over-reliance on a handful of cloud giants. We centralized the internet and then made our entire lives dependent on it.

haven’t thought of pk dick essay “how to build a world that doesn’t fall apart two days later” (or something like that) what with all the simulacra & the palmer eldritch, but all the steadily-growing roll of solved wars got me thinking about dick’s jumping-off point.

IMHO, you can’t understand what’s happening to the US if u don’t know about the “network state” movement & its “parallel establishment” strategy, which includes building “parallel societies” (w/ their own physical territories) & “parallel institutions” in media, education, finance, science, etc. 1/

There’s a principle called the presumption of regularity: it means that courts presume that the government will act lawfully and in good faith. With what we know about official misconduct leading to wrongful convictions and what we are seeing now, maybe it’s time to revisit this presumption.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

but a weird detail.
i don't think i've heard of before.
or from any other observer.

wonder if other orders proffered as executive by the white house also never earned their enumeration?

my own lyin’ eyes @oomph.bsky.social · 1d

but it appears someone between the resolute desk and the federal register reconsidered that order's designation and downplayed it. which is just as well, because it's really just a fanfare for the subsequent nspm.

my own lyin’ eyes @oomph.bsky.social · 1d

so anyway i'm a bit confused about that order we already knew couldn't really do the thing it purports to do if it were an executive order because the country as yet has no mechanism for such designations.

that unnumbered order published as not an executive order and not assigned an executive order number remains on the white house website where it remains described as an executive order:

Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization

Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States

actual executive orders appear to be so described and numbered:
