So the presumption with all these new announcements is that they'll only affect the Discover feed, which I never use, so I don't care that much?
But Bluesky's intense interest in that Discover feed makes me worry they'll pull an IG and make it the default or otherwise make it hard to avoid. 😠

This is the „harmless“ presumption. I would go as far as traitor. Everybody knows what is at stake - he cannot be that stupid.

JD and Usha were both mentored by Amy Chua. Even without any other evidence whatsoever, that creates a strong presumption that both of them are pieces of shit.

Any presumption of regularity or respect for the rule of law an Administration has walking in the door, this Administration has pissed away with the goal of breaking courts.
Courts have this Administration figured out, and they're not coming to play.

I agree. I'm not sure I *believe* that's the case, but I agree it should be the presumption. Speak up or have people reasonably assume the worst. Benefit of the doubt is earned, not a gift.

They are entitled to a reputable presumption of professionalism and deserve respect until they demonstrate that they don't deserve it.

This doesn't mean voters won't prove citizenship when registering, just that the presumption at the ballot box is that registered voters have already proven citizenship. To same-day register at the polls, you would need to prove citizenship for your vote to count.

James has an excellent case, backed up the reality that the courts are increasingly questioning the "presumption of regularity (POR)" for the Trump Regime -- the POR being a legal concept requiring the courts to assume the government is working in good faith. [5/more]

or even that government investigations aren't free from bias. for example, the juridical presumption of the government acting in good faith is itself a bias.
the bias-free fiction of judicial system is intrinsic to its design, but let's not pretend that biases aren't baked in.

There is a weird presumption that the partner of a nazi is by default secretly a normal person who doesn't support their politics, and i just don't know where it comes from

The cruelty and lies are a feature not a bug🤷🏻♂️
Only 9 months in and this government has obliterated any presumption of regularity. The administration reflects Trump’s lack of character, his cruelty and his constant lies.

I don't think they actually said that. Even if they allow the presumption of innocence on the rape allegations, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was so keen to have free accommodation in the US that he maintained his friendship with Epstein long after he knew about the Florida charges

Apologies for my presumption..
But in the thread as I saw it, someone else's comment was just before yours.
That comment was talking about a poker up the "whatsit".
Immediately followed by yours that suggested you needed a little assistance....

The OCDETF is being replaced by blowing up random civilian boats and claiming they were drug traffickers.
This of course is extrajudicial murder of civilians who have the presumption of innocence under the law and does nothing to hold the heads of the drug cartels accountable.

Tomorrow the last employees of DOJ's OCDETF program—one of America's most effective organizations in combating drug cartels—will be terminated.
Former Deputy Director Thomas Padden warns OCDETF's closure leaves the country more vulnerable to organized crime.

The Administration claims to be serious about stopping drug cartels, but it’s shutting down DOJ's OCDETF program — a critical resource in dismantling organized crime.

a) golfers enjoy a societal presumption of worldliness and intelligence that other athletes do not
b) many professional golfers are, objectively speaking, dumber than upholstery tacks

a lot of discourse flying around about whether voters in fact vote on policy, but I think there's an even wider-spread unevaluated presumption that voters in some sense SHOULD vote on policy: that if you're informed or engaged or thoughtful enough you back a policy platform.

For our non-immigration practitioner friends, the proposed presumption would likely make it easier for women asylum applicants to make gender-based claims.

Lawgeeks, Judge Winn (4th Cir.) has an interesting concurring op. suggesting that, just as in Title VII litigation, there should a presumption for asylum purposes that when a man sexually harasses a woman, the harassment is at least in part on account gender.
www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/232...
www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/232...
![Thus, we have held that, “[w]hen someone sexually
harasses an individual of the opposite gender, a presumption arises that the harassment is
‘because of’ the victim’s gender.” Hopkins v. Baltimore Gas & Elec. Co., 77 F.3d 745, 752
(4th Cir. 1996) (abrogated on other grounds by Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. 644
(2020)). I would adopt that presumption in the asylum context: absent evidence to the
contrary, a man who sexually harasses a woman is motivated in part by her gender.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreiaffx6znz7d7bigyoggphlyozi6arcpdzag7edm6jcdcaxzae5zcm@jpeg)

I’ve read about several irate judges making some refreshingly strong statements and we’ve all heard of several supposed interim USA being declared invalid and the loss of presumption of regularity, so -
When is someone going to be held to accounts? When is the contempt hearing?

Love this bit in the latest excellent @dsquareddigest.bsky.social 'stack. I think about this process of simplification a lot but never feel it's allowed - it always feels like having an opinion on the economy is an act of gross presumption...

much like the presumption that anything within 100 miles of a border is 'the border region', this is clearly an excuse to overreach in a way that declares practically everybody to be suspicious and eligible for otherwise illegal harassment.
This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...
