True. But I prefer to think of it as JD’s opportunity to achieve his destiny. Because an intra-MAGA war is the best kind of war.
Low bar.
Weekend at Bernie’s remake in 3…2…
Sure, and we’re not all out here hoping for it.
Oh hell yeah. And any akshully pinhead deserves a quick block.
Motherfucking fascists. Thanks for the pics and updates
The maxim—if the prosecutor wants to indict a sandwich, the grand jury will indict the ham sandwich—is dead.
Ham Sandwich Crime Runs Rampant Through Nation’s Capitol I’ll show myself out.
Timeline cleanse: Dawn at the Strait of Juan de Fuqua.

Heavy “Dog is my copilot” vibes.
8-16-25 last night the feds went way overboard on use of force at ICE. So of course tonight is another fuck ICE PDX fiesta! at the Linquist Family Concentration Camp Processing Center S. Macadam Ave. South Waterfront near Tesla Portland Oregon. Make good trouble.
Query: Has anyone seen the #EpsteinFiles? Maybe the National Guard will find them in DC? I wonder why we’re letting TFG change the subject?
I’m glad that smarter people see a path.
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
I have to be in DC in Nov., and I’m sitting here wondering how best to show up. I wonder if DC vendors can start stocking protest/ridicule merch for visitors?
Honestly kids, the opening salvo of the second civil war was a sandwich to the chest.
That sounds awful. Hope you’re getting back on track. I promise that the chaos will be here when you’re back.
Good on you for making the best of a crappy thing. If you get weary, I imagine there’s a contingent of amused strangers ready to volunteer for drafting duty.
It isn’t any less fucked up, is it?
This has been going on for years. The whole originalism movement is based upon faux historians, with the title of Justice, assuming competence. But in fairness, they also often pretend to be scientists when deciding complex questions of evidence.
Fantastic! So much light. (I knew R. Amelia Wolf when she was a child and young woman. I am so not surprised to see that she is on the front lines.)

Special place in Hell
We’re alive, and you’re in bliss. That’s a lot of good right now.
I think there’s a typo in your skeet because it should read fabulous selfie with grand dog.
I had an expert write an AI report that hallucinated citations. It hadn’t occurred to me that we need to check experts’ work for that. Fool me once….
JD Vance has no real principles or courage.
Thank you for the masterclass on proper use of alt text.
He doth protest way too much.
He never received an allowance, so it must be the good genes. White else could it be?
I believe there’s a typo, and it should read, “Incel cuck with no cabinet position….”
I don’t think media is pussyfooting. At best, it’s mere cowardice or capitulation. But it seems closer to capture or even collaboration.
Well, they could also be secret police. Or cosplay Nazis.
Gosh. I haven’t gotten to file a civil rights class action against the Trump admin since the last time they came to Portland in 2020.

I feel like she’s also playing the long game and laying down things that may build a foundation—if we survive—for the future.
I feel like I need to listen more closely to the voice in my head that says don’t read her effing replies. Or maybe it needs to scream?
So on brand.
“How can you possibly deny me? I’m wasting away.”
“Not all Jews, just Ashkenazi.” -Grok, probably
Deep understanding? Via, like, Grok, or…?
Mistakes were made, and the passive voice was used. Could you find your backbone, @nytimes.com?
It is easy to fall into despair this 4th of July. And when despair overtakes me, I look for wisdom. One of the best sources is @sifill.bsky.social Her latest on 4th of July is both clear-eyed and wise. A great read for those of us who are struggling. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
The idea that taxes are evil took root with Ronald Reagan. Let’s see how much seniors enjoy “tax relief” when our public structures crumble and our safety net fails. Also, the Republicans are fascists.
I feel like all Trumpkins should undergo purity testing. Make them take genetic tests to prove that they’re 100 percent white. I’m guessing there’s more than a small chance that she’s part of the 65 million.
Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.
I’m old enough to remember when Judge Roberts claimed to be a mere umpire. Good times.
She is brilliant. Always.
I didn’t use the c-word and have not for a long, long time. The linked piece does a great job of putting the current majority within proper historical and political context. That said, I agree that the popular label “conservative” is laughably incorrect.
An honest and brilliant takedown of the SCOTUS majority in Trump v CASA from @sifill.bsky.social These are hard and depressing times to be in the trenches. But it beats surrender. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
+1. If we gotta have a king, I’m all in.
Likely true. Just as there is no “I” in team, there is no principle in Roberts
I never understood how so many Xers fell for Reagan. I would have guessed from their cool, detached personas that they were less easily swayed by fear and white supremacy. Boy did I miss that mark.
My head explodes when law profs, who have no experience litigating class actions, yammer about the availability of class actions.
🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 (A quintuple facepalm is extremely rare, but it happens.)
The Trump Admin has shown it will exploit any opening given it by this SCOTUS. Lifting the nationwide injunction on enforcing the birthright citizenship EO will be no exception. That’s why SCOTUS majority’s failure to address the unconstitutional EO is so cowardly. @andersoncooper360.bsky.social
Hey now. No peeking behind the goddamned curtain.
I will dare to dream this dream.
We will only find the way out of this darkness by bringing, tending to, and sharing light. This is part of that. Thank you.
There is a certain amount of goose/gander sauce for both him and CTA5. But it’s only going to matter if and when we flush the current regime.
Those of us who work in the civil justice system learn that major losses are inevitable. Today’s SCOTUS rulings are profound losses. But that is not the end for those of us on the side of people. We continue to stand and we do not surrender, even if fascism has infected the Supreme Court.
@publicjustice.bsky.social and the never-say-die team lead by @jaosorno.bsky.social got us access to the Abrego Garcia hearing today. Details below.
He wouldn’t vote to convict, so I think it’s simply stfu
💯 Wise take. Some of the responses—which I should not have scrolled—not so much.
That pic? He’s straight out of central casting. Also, fuck that guy.
Tesla sales are crashing in Oregon? How sad. Buried lede: their EV market share is far worse. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...
Don’t hate the player…. (I tell myself a lot with the freaking bunnies that gobble our tender greens.)
So. You’ve finally revealed the radical trans agenda, and it requires a house robe and Dick Cavett? That is some devious shit.
Back in the olden days, there was this thing called a Bivens action. But that’s mostly just in dusty old books*. *Historical note: Judges and lawyers once read and followed real cases in real books. It was wild. -Ed.
I feel this in my bones. Going dark here is a wise move. Whether it’s to take a timeout for rest or to work in other places, it’s all part of the long road we must walk.
I’m sure I’ve never seen his shit. And now I’m sure I never will.
It’s a damned shame. Farmers are going broke. Workers are hiding out. Crops are wasting. The fascists don’t care.
🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Cops kettling and firing on peaceful protesters. Horrifying
Don’t go ANYwhere. Where are the people?
“It’s the largest military parade in history.” -White House comms, probably
This might be the best part. Deep appreciation for the thread and footage. It’s an important reminder that the Assclown Administration is profoundly incompetent.
She proudly shot her fucking dog. There is no question about what is in her heart.
Nothing good comes of talking to the cops. 1. Demand to talk to an attorney. 2. Shut the fuck up. That’s it.
#NoKings #SantaCruz
Today is the day to flood the streets and show the world. #NoKings
Deep appreciation for @jaosorno.bsky.social and team and for @publicjustice.bsky.social for the anti-secrecy work. Secret courts are a feature of fascist regimes. We must fight.

Robot cars from Elon? What could possibly go wrong?
I feel like his real argument is: If torture is acceptable—and all who know anything agree that it is—then a little bit of beating, gassing, and arresting peaceful protesters is surely fine.
The light you bring will be visible for a long, long time.
Yo. Are you joining a #NoKings protest on Saturday? Where? I’ll be marching in #SantaCruz. You?
Rare fun day in CTA9 where I watched my brilliant partner run circles around the State on their appeal of denial of QI in our 1983 class action arising out of COVID in Oregon prisons. Power move: she sat down with three minutes left. #LawSky #civilrights #classaction
The NBA didn’t want a conflict with Trump protests. And I respect that.
Picking a fight with California might be the 21st century equivalent of starting a land war in Asia. #TACO
Nah. Keep going.
Missing Molly Ivins right now.
Post Egbert, I got howls of laughter from AUSA’s when I suggested that they would argue that even Mr. Bivens has no Bivens claim. And yet, as others have pointed out,….
A guy can still dream. I’m not sure I’ve had Fritos in this century, so it was only a moment. Thanks for bringing reality to the world of junk food fantasy.
