I’m shocked having someone write your essay doesn’t make you smarter
Vance thought Trump was the useful idiot.
Unfortunately for me, all my gold is in US dollars.
Weird way to spell Gondor, but thank Mandos for that, anyway.
What's a meta for, anyway?
Nailed it.
Fuck you, El Assassino Zodiaco, for making me cheer for Cucker Tarlson.
It's like they watched The Siege (1998) and asked, how can we do that, but even more incompetently and without a rational goal? They must have thought that because of LAPD's militarized police force they could storm in, but they should have called on LA County Sheriff's gang squad instead.
seriously what are they gonna do with an entire brigade for two blocks?
A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.
This story is horrifying. Scammers got people to pay thousands of dollars to hire a fake lawyer. To keep the scam going and keep the money flowing, the scammers also set up fake USCIS appointments, fake ICE check-ins, and fake court hearings. Worse, they told one guy to skip his real court hearing.
Like most people, I fucking hate that Gavin Newsome is the Dem governor with enough moxie to fight Trump in a real way. I have never hoped a total POS wins more (over another total POS).
This is like tossing a hanging slider over the middle of the plate to Adam Dunn (aka Mr. Three True Outcomes) and expecting it to not get sent 400 feet into the bleachers. Gavin was built in a lab for this exact set of circumstances, each variable selected by the Trump admin itself
M&A activity plummets: rates linger. #econsky
1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America
"The Executive Order at issue here far exceeds the President's ... powers under the Constitution."
If I had no responsibilities, I'd be in LA right now. I hate feeling like a coward, but my clients need me in court this week.
Independent investigations into jail deaths in Texas have documented staff ignoring people with deteriorating health, denying treatment for chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and even mocking people who were dying and in pain. boltsmag.org/texas-j...
But yeah, seriously, the way to combat and delegitimize these militaristic actions is to ridicule them. Hands down the most effective way to undercut their power bc humor replaces fear. Calling all clowns, mimes, polka bands, Mr Robotos, improv troupes, and circus acts: Your country needs you!
Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:
Just reminiscing about my JYA at the University of Edinburgh, and if Callum (named after Callum Beg from the Sir Walter Scott novels) wasn't the most lollans Scotsman I'd ever met, I'd eat my hat. Hope all my acquaintances from those days are doing as well or better than I.
We already knew Trump was a rapist; a pedophile is just a rapist with a cherry on top.
Eat a dick, you fucking bot.
Eat a dick, you fucking bot.
US attorneys always think the grand jury decides it all because they convict 98.5% of the time in federal courts.
28th amendment should be that cops don't get to be anonymous.
I don't think they get to a jury, but that's just me.
BREAKING: A right-wing legal group just sued to force Utah to turn over its entire voter roll — including private & protected records. The outcome of this case could potentially lay the groundwork for voter purges in the state. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social
No court can approve a payment in that basis.
...is to spend some time enjoying life. I will not apologize for that. But I'll probably keep feeling guilty about it until I die.
How can it be moral for me to enjoy life when I know other humans are suffering? It probably isn't. But I spend each (work) day fighting that suffering. I don't beat it often. But man when I do, the feeling is better than sex. And the only way I can get the energy for that fight...
"Black drivers were more likely than white drivers to get traffic tickets, while white drivers were more likely than Black drivers to drive away with warnings. Nearly 1 in every 3 Black drivers received a ticket rather than a ... warning in comparison to almost 1 in every 5 white drivers."
How can you tell the difference between fascists and legit cops right now in the USA? The fascists wear masks when they arrest people and also ACAB.

Greenblat will lick the fascist boot as he helps load his family members into the gas chambers as long as their skin is darker than his.
"All the money that's going to go into police enforc[ement] ... is money we're not going to spend on education, on housing, or on all the other social determinants, like access to health care."
That reporter is an absolute moron.
I guess everyone else's experience with the DOJ who has not been a criminal defense attorney in Mississippi is positive, because those fuckers cannot be trusted farther than I can throw their moms.
Tyranny. Ruling blue states like we're conquered territory that lost a war not equal citizens in a democracy.
It’s very hard to win a malicious prosecution motion to dismiss, but…
"[W]e need pro-peace leaders like Lee Jae-myung to help ... push for a less militarized U.S."
Thank god he's coming back. One of Bukele's claims is that once people enter CECOT they never come out.
Can Trump tariff the Canadian forest fires?
I kept waiting for the cheery part.
You're just pimping for Big Light!
Is he, though? At a billion dollars a bribe he can get a lot of traction.
According to Rep. Jimmy Gomez, ICE has had to stand up tends next to the federal building and is forcing people to sleep outside. Inside the building, lights go off at 5:00PM, leaving families alone in the DARK, where they've had to wait for over 12 hours to get food or WATER.

Who is this person pulling a gun? Name him. Shame him. People have to be held accountable.
Everyone saying the Trump/Musk stuff seems to have settled down has apparently forgotten both men are unhinged lunatics prone to erupt at any time in fits of nonsensical rage. CNN will declare Trump the "cooler head," then at 2:36 a.m. Sunday he'll announce he's deporting Musk's children.
I'm not sure I've ever seen so many layers in a single tweet.
Why is the Dominican Republic on there you weird freak
Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking. It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”
Oh man, wait until the free speech on campus people hear about this!
I remember when that happened to me. I cried.
I am willing to be persuaded because my wife is interested, but ...
I don't want to sound like a cunty troll, but did it ever really meaningfully improve on the first three episodes of season 1? Because that's where they lost me. Robert Jordan lost me after A Crown of Swords, but the show didn't even make it to ep 7 for me.
State Department faces lawsuit over migrant detention agreement with El Salvador ...the State Dept entered into an agreement with President Nayib Bukele in Feb., under which the US would pay up to $20,000 per person El Salvador took into its infamous prisons. www.courthousenews.com/state-depart...
Still accurate.
Boston Herald - A high school student in Massachusetts, arrested by ICE officers while on his way to volleyball practice, has been ordered released on bond by an immigration judge. www.bostonherald.com/2025/06/05/j...
Between him and Eliot Spitzer, is this a comment on Spitzers, or prosecutors?
New — Marcelo Gomes da Silva has finally been released from ICE detention where the 18-year-old was held in deplorable conditions. He helped translate paperwork for other detainees that said they were getting deported. Unimaginable. www.wcvb.com/article/immi...
They both want to be called Loretta.
It's refreshing to see ICE's aspirations to be real cops made real in such a heartwarming way.
That Beria lesson is a hard one.
Mourning the future, listening to Bobby Caldwell of blessed memory.
It's knowledge that most pedos are hetero.
A situation that WWI should have put to bed.
I am of the school of people who believe that the Book of Boba Fett was an expert lesson in subverting expectations, and I am unanimous in that.
The perfect defense is a reliance on the statute of vibes.
Advisedly I would like to offer a different opinion of Boba Fett: it's the Tulsa King of Star Wars, except the Tulsa King is an incompetent whose success was based entirely on a reputation for bounty hunting and he fails dramatically when he tries to parlay that into leadership. It's cautionary.
AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they
I'd go with like "many of the pedophiles who flew with Trump on Jeffrey Epstein's planes are the same people who are also trying to cut health care for Americans. Part of the reason they want us poor is so we can't fight back when they rape our kids."
The FBI Sought Search Warrants For Columbia Students' Social Media New court documents reveal how the feds tried to unmask the Columbia students — and got blocked by federal judges on First Amendment grounds.
Leave Mojo Nixon alone!

No, unfortunately. I just used my coffee scale and ate popcorn ounce by ounce until I got to 13 ozs, then by the half ounce until 15.5, then by a tenth of the ounce until I collapsed in a diverticular paralysis.
"Grace Pinson, a self-taught jailhouse lawyer ... took two cases to trial [in 2023] — and won them both. Pinson's story tugs on several threads: how dangerous life in prison is for transgender people, what care they can access and why getting justice in the courts is so damn hard."
Does Eric Adams know?
Posobiec knows what a dick-dinger is, but unlike the rest of us who admit we know it, he's never seen Letterkenny.
Some of those who burn crosses, etc., etc.
No, I am not happy that Bannon is the voice of reason here. But yes it is funny AF that Bannon is back in the air again.
The binnacle of assholes protecting the magnetic compass of the Trump Administration is coming apart, and I am only sorry Hunter S. Thompson is not here to see it.
As always, there's a Psalm for that (ironically most fitting in the Authorized): "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” KJV 1611 Psalms 146:3.
gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.
Yes, Virginia, there is an unsafe dosage of popcorn, and it turns out that a pound of popped popcorn in an hour is about the limit. I'd tell you more but the NDA forbids me.
love this for every black catholic i know
Orobouros, do your thing!
give him the best character arc of a "sidekick" I've ever seen. He literally steals the show from Hackman, Rockwell, Jay, and DeVito.
I remember the first time I realized how awesome Delroy Lindo is: Heist, the movie starring him and Gene Hackman as aging thieves. The gravitas and vitality of his portrayal of Bobby Blane, especially when he walks away at the end having said goodbye to his best friend, played by Hackman,
Ukrainian steel gets EU reprieve. #econsky
the thought that some chin stroking federal judge ought to gaze into the aether and return with the right answer to just how much independence is the right amount and in what circumstances —it’s wild to think the conservative arc on this question has landed us here : )
I am puzzled by the serenity w/which @jadler1969.bsky.social and @williambaude.bsky.social describe Wilcox’s carveout for the Fed. It’s an admission that the unitary executive project was sold on false premises. For a radically activist line of cases, that’s a big deal! reason.com/volokh/2025/...
Great talk. I was there! It’s thrilling to see this vital organization in action despite adversity It’s more important now than ever to support The Internet Archive
Trump’s return to policies of fear, discrimination, and division have arrived in the form of a travel ban. Who the actual fuck wants to come to America anyhow? (Don’t @ me) The domestic white nationalists are our real threat.
