Thanks for the explanation, that's an honestly interesting parsing of the phrase. As someone whose mother was born in one, I've never been especially critical of calling them "Japanese". We've always called them "Japanese Internment Camps". As a kid, I wondered if concentration camp was appropriate.

A man nervously wipes sweat from his brow as he eyes two buttons. One is labeled every incumbent Republican loses their primary and the other is labeled Elon does no more things on Earth.

My son was titillated to see a FUCK TRUMP sign and asked if it was appropriate. I said sometimes being appropriate isn't the most important thing.

If the DOJ is willing to directly defy the order to ground deportation flights I don't have much faith that they wouldn't just say "we just didn't look at those people's records"

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump
Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump).
• Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges.
• Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side.
• A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush.
• The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

Is Otter upset that Rat gets to live closer to the river or are they friends who don't worry about petty squabbles and see their locations as a good opportunity for a spontaneous visit?
