Today's fun activity - going through all social media sites to delete all photos of my kid, since it's clear that's the only way to be sure Grok won't be able to create CSAM with her in it.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

I always say I love my country the way Anthony Bourdain did, not as a benevolent state or one founded in innocence but as vast, beautiful place full of discrete people and cultures such as has rarely been attempted and worth fighting for.

Someone in the replies called this doordash for bears and I can't stop laughing
"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.'
But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

A bill to make sure poor people stay hungry, sick, and dying so rich people can be slightly richer. Actually evil. We need to make people understand it in those terms and not something about “budgets” or “house reconciliation bills”
Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year.

A letter handwritten in green ink to a politician is traditionally a tip that the writer is a nut or malcontent. I don't think I'm nuts, but I am not content.
Hence my letter below to @slotkin.senate.gov (address redacted, b/c while I'm not content, again, I'm not nuts).

Thanks other Luke for hitting the nail on the head today.
It never feels good sending money to the government but it has never felt as bad as it does today. I know I have paid to produce so much suffering I’m not an idiot but there was always a plausible deniability baked in. Like how they put blanks in one of the firing squad rifles.
I felt briefly like I was a part of something potentially good

You'll want to read this one. A lot of people had a lot to share and say about this week, and I tried to pull it together in a coherent way at Law Dork.
NEW: What happened this week in Trump's authoritarianism speed-run.
Aggressive and often unconstitutional immigration policies are testing the law and the courts. At the same time, the Trump administration is testing — and breaking — the government.
An in-depth look at Law Dork on where we're at.

If no sanctions follow, ANYONE can be seized, expelled from the U.S. & dropped in an offshore prison faster than a court can exercise jurisdiction w/o consequence for the govt.
It won’t matter if you’re a US citizen. No facts will matter b/c no court can hear the facts before your plane is abroad

Maybe this was “a chance” not “the chance,” but good god almighty, Gary, how are we gonna trust you to take any chance now?
When they come for @umich.edu, @uaw.org, the Great Lakes, and other things that make Michigan what it is, I hope we all remind @peters.senate.gov that he threw away the chance to stop it.

I know that it's getting more common to say the quiet part loud, but it's still surprising that it extends to: "well, then they shouldn't be voting."

It's a bit of a meme among lawyers that phrasing which looks innocuous to the average reader would make one of us shit bricks. Therefore, kudos to Hagan Scotten for pulling no punches when faced with the latest lawless action from Pam Bondi, Emil Bove, & company.
The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY.
“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.”
