State Senator Bill DeMora came out swinging on Leslie Wexner.
"I think Wexner has been connected to Epstein this whole time. ... I love [Ohio State], but I can't defend them when they're wrong. ... Somebody needs to bring this to light."

In Fox world, the Democratic platform is all drag storytime and mandatory gender reassignment. Democratic candidates, meanwhile, are mostly doing what they suggest: talking about affordability. For fuck's sake, the whole shutdown was about healthcare subsides!

ah yes, today is a great day for relitigating the war in iraq
iraq did not attack the usa. al qaeda was not in iraq before we invaded
the bush admin lied about wmd's to invade
the war in iraq was objectively much worse than anything trump has ever done so far, by a lot

America got “the president is killing terrorists, don’t question it” in the 2000s too. But unlike now:
-The US had been attacked
-Al Qaeda was a terrorist group and planned more attacks
-They were in areas the US military did not freely operate, where arrest was risky
-Congress authorized the action

I had a long talk with someone yesterday about how all prior logic and norms about the labor market have been called off because capital is in the final push to finally casualize white collar workers the way they’ve long wanted to do. From AI to non-competes to this. They smell blood in the water.
"Last month marked the third time since 2008 that layoffs in November exceeded 70,000, with the other two times being in 2008 and 2022."

Employers seemingly disregard etiquette, laying off employees right before the holidays
The once common ritual fell out of fashion following the Great Recession, until this year.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

He’s redistributing money from the urban cores that they’re terrorizing with ethnic pogroms to pay off his base for their loyalty
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Holy shit this back and forth between Kagan/Alito/Jackson/&the SG.
Kagan: Doesn't your logic mean a whole raft of other agencies must be invalidated?
SG: Yes, but that's not being litigated right now
Kagan: So what?
Alito: What if we just want to say "but maybe don't apply our logic elsewhere?"

ICE were not ever good. It was a profoundly evil organization when it began under Bush, when it was expanded upon in scope by Obama, when its cruelty increased under Trump 1.0, and their efficiency became greater courtesy of Biden and now at its worst, thanks to Trump 2.0's return.

“Guzmán’s daughter was still in the NICU, unable to eat or breathe independently. The doctors had planned a meeting to review the baby’s prognosis and care plans… As Guzmán went to buckle her seatbelt, she looked out the window and noticed they were surrounded.”
Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.

“No evidence the intent went beyond freeing slaves” — the framers of the amendment openly stated that it would grant citizenship to the children of Chinese immigrants. It’s in the Congressional record. Cited extensively in Wong Kim Ark. These aren’t obscure sources, especially for law professors.
