it is when you do so in a racist, misogynistic, or homophobic way

All I know is that if I’m still practicing I’m raising that issue in every PFR. The problem, of course, would be proving it has an impact in any specific case.

environmental racism is a problem with _some_ data center proposals (ref: Memphis, TN) but I don't see how this applies to either Naperville or DeKalb - both cities have demographics that are barely distinguishable from canonically vanilla Peoria

would have to look at the specific sitings, i guess

As much as I hate Polymarket, I do have to kinda hand it to them for pulling this off

Yeah, from experience I can tell you that hormones do a lot of things including changing your mood and how you handle emotions, but they don’t make you think clearly. They will help reduce stress related to dysphoria and passing, which can help, but they don’t inherently “fix” anything.

one of the main reasons i left twitter is that i knew that there was no point in posting anything there because nobody would ever see it unless i paid the Musk Tax, which i clearly have no interest in doing

Sedition is something very different, it’s trying to sabotage American democracy.
For example: 
- Lean on foreign governments to meddle in our elections
- Pressure election officials to “find” 11,780 votes
- Manipulate business records to tilt an election

our beef with venezuela is and always has been ExxonMobil

This post should be globally pinned

this reminds me of an old friend who transitioned decades ago and discovered after transitioning that while transitioning made their life better, she was still unhappy and it had more to do with being angry at things that she didn't need to be angry at. took her another decade to work that out

not if the DOJ is on your side

only the DOJ can prosecute federal perjury, so lying on behalf of the DOJ will _never_ have consequences

Courts don't charge people with crimes.

Jesus, I wrote a lot of orders during my clerkship, including at least one that led to Bar investigations into unethical lawyering, and I never even got close to using the phrase, “outright lied” in one. No surprise that Bovino is a scumbag, but that he’s such a bad liar is interesting.

When I was clerking, we had one case where the judge reminded the parties in a summary judgment ruling that lies may be able get you past summary judgment, but that doesn't mean a jury will buy them. That was as close as we got. (They settled.)

I used to work IT for the county gov including the court, and all the clerks were buzzing when the (chief) judge issued an order on a case ruling on all pending motions w/o hearings, forced parties to go to a hardass mediator, and attached a copy of the oath and code of ethics for them to review 🫥

Oh the reason is entirely discernable: the people promoting such memes are racist, misogynist, and homophobic. none of these are sins solely of the right; they are very much at home in the left as well.

Right up there with the leftists I used to know who lost their minds when a woman was put in charge of any department they didn't like. Could they even name the man who had been in the same position? Nope, but the second a woman was doing the job she was below reproach and a traitor etc.
