I'm also now caught up with the appellate hearing, ish.

Why do you think Portland over Chicago?

BREAKING: Today, we're suing. Federal forces in the Chicago area are brutally suppressing free speech with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades. Journalists, clergy, and demonstrators have been attacked for peacefully protesting against the government. This is an unconstitutional assault.

Sigh. Why is an economist trying to explain legal legitimacy? I can both say that Dred was not good law when it was decided and that it was clearly legally binding because of a distinction between positive and natural law that has existed since way before the Founding.

Can this be real? Lmao.

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

if everyone could pause the fascism while I am on drugs and bleeding that would be great

For that, they need some success this fall: They can erase Dems' majority & force a tie, & then go for the majority in 2027.

Ultimate stakes are as big as New Jersey & Virginia, frankly:

Well that's not how appropriations work at all

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

My Dad's advice about everything: "Just do it, it takes 2 seconds!" Finding a job takes 2 seconds, you should just do it.

Considering "stupid games"* is enlightening: Twister and Telephone are clearly games where you're trying to do ~something~ correctly, yet "winning" is beside the point—the aesthetic interest is in how you fail, even though you're trying not to fail

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.
