Something I’m stuck on: if you go into the type of tattoo parlor that will ink a totenkopf, without warning you of its association with Nazis, there are probably a bunch of other obvious red flags in the tattoo parlor suggesting that “hey, maybe this artist is sketchy af?”

My God, is there any low we won’t sink to? Why can’t we have more civilized celebrations, without nudity, like in Speaker Johnson’s home state of [checks notes] … Louisiana?

Brb, got to remind a client NOT to mention their “genocide cabinet” during testimony.
4th Cir. holds it was no prejudicial error for jury to consider evidence of Nazi memorabilia possessed by a man accused of racially motivated assaults on a Mexican-American man and a black man, particularly after defendant mentioned his collection on the stand.

![This case, however, is about hate crimes, not hate speech. Violent physical assaults
are “not by any stretch of the imagination expressive conduct protected by the First
Amendment.” Wisconsin v. Mitchell, 508 U.S. 476, 484 (1993). And it is well established
that Congress may account for racially discriminatory motives when penalizing criminal
conduct, as it did in the hate crimes laws at issue here. See id. at 487–88 (upholding a law
that imposed enhanced penalties for crimes committed “because of” race). While Hudak
was entitled to possess despicable Nazi symbols, the jury was entitled to consider that fact
when deciding whether he assaulted J.D. and J.S. because of their race, color, and national
origin.
How much meaning to assign the Nazi memorabilia was ultimately a question of
weight, not admissibility. But we see no abuse of discretion in the district court’s
conclusion that Hudak “opened the door to it[],” regardless of whether it would initially
have been admissible. Birchette, 908 F.3d at 61.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreif46umt23xjedtlfmzzcfoybeh7twc2w2tlge5fc5o24aiuk3gjoe@jpeg)

It’s a wartime economy here now. Can’t even get a fancy prix fixe dinner for two for less than $200. Wine is being rationed and must be purchased by the glass. Please send help (and fresh caviar).

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

I love how Trump’s hand-picked health guru constantly sounds like he’s gargling fluid coming up from his lungs and is apparently deaf.
After Cortez Masto asks RFK Jr repeatedly what he's doing to lower costs for seniors and he can't come up with an answer, he resorts to telling her, "I didn't even hear your question"
