You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

On the bright side, at least Brexit is no longer the stupidest and most pointless act of economic self-harm of the century

People voted for Biden because they wanted to bring back the America of 2015. They voted for Trump because they wanted to bring back 2019. But it turns out elections are not time machines and politicians are flawed vessels who misread their mandates.

As a Hokie, I endorse the judge’s ruling re: UVA law school grads.
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)

Soybeans are big money in those Trumpy farming states. I know a farmer who voted for Trump because “Biden was bad for soybean markets”.

This quote is from an article about Arab Americans who voted for Trump because of Biden’s handling of Gaza. But I suspect it’s going to apply to a lot more people over the next four years.

Everyone: Lol whatever you can't do that
Trump: The law banning TikTok is invalid
Everyone: Well, I guess he said so so we can't do anything

This dude correctly states that you cannot get a DWI on a horse in North Carolina. But that’s only been the case since 1989. Why? My investigation found a chaotic Christmas parade, a wily lawmaker, and a ludicrous Court of Appeals decision. LOOK IT UP ➡️ www.ncrabbithole.com/p/you-cant-g...

Billy Joel’s “We Didn't Start the Fire" hits #1 today in 1989 — inspired by a young 20-something, who’d lamented to Joel how tough his generation had it compared to those who grew up in the ‘50s.
It's “a song that says the world's .. always been a mess,” said Joel, “It’s always gonna be a mess.”
