HUGE. The 5th Circuit joins many other federal courts in holding that Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was unlawful. The judges emphasize that the law is fundamentally about *war* and about military actions; not illegal immigration or drug trafficking.
New: Judge William Young today took the unusual step of apologizing to conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, after they accused him of defying a decision by the court by ordering the Trump administration to reinstate NIH grants. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
BREAKING: On a 2-1 vote, D.C. Circuit denies the Trump administration's request to let Trump fire a Federal Trade commissioner during appeals. Citing Humphrey's Executor, about the FTC: "To grant a stay would be to defy the Supreme Court's decisions that bind our judgments. That we will not do."
Transparency is important. The people deserve answers. The victims deserve justice. oversight.house.gov/release/over...
I think it's strange that the implication is that she murdered her own newborn child, but there's no charge of murder.

The best means of preventing it are to put people in power who will not allow it. And that means candidates talking about issues people are currently experiencing so they can get elected.
Not moving goalposts. It's literally the point. The vast majority of people are not seeing this stuff in their lives.
So you think most districts have armored vehicles rolling around all over the place? I can assure you that is not reality. What's going on in DC is absolutely awful, but it's not what the vast majority are experiencing in their lives.
Yes
There are no tanks in the vast majority of districts.
I like the algorithmic feeds that are available beyond the lists of accounts too.
I'm not sure what faffy means. Can you elaborate?
What where your impressions of @ghost.org when you looked into it as a possible alternative?
The court ruled that Alina Habba is unlawfully serving at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/n...
They've been winning, but there's is no endgame. There will always be something that is worth pushing back on. It's clear that pushing against those who are destroying valuable institutions and public policy is currently at the top of the list.
I have the opposite view. Bluesky is great because people can choose to use it how they want to use it when they want to. I have a number of feeds for different purposes and use them at different times. It's great!
Utility costs are crushing New Jersey families right now, while utility companies have seen record profits. I'm going to freeze utility costs, rapidly build new energy, and take on anyone driving up costs for New Jerseyans.
Trump on Sunday: "Energy prices are falling, ‘big time.’" He's arguing that wind turbines producing more supply will raise prices on the market. He's clearly just making shit up here.
Actually it was this guy: www.military.com/daily-news/2...
Dr. Susan Monarez did not quit.
Thanks for sharing the information!
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
How much volume or weight of plastic fibers were manufactured in 2024?
I'm curious how it is that you go about following it?
Has it been tested with a good prosecutor?
I see you have entirely avoided an answer to the question. What is to be done during the time while housing is being built? You suggested that a specific intervention that you imagined the details of won't help. But the question is: what will help?

So between now and the time that those 200,000 units are built. What's to be done about affordablility?
Faster, cheaper, lower quality. This seems to be the most common approach to using AI in industries. Use it to do things faster, cheaper, and of less quality. This is a common approach to implementations for so many technologies.
How much of textiles is plastic fibers now?
Trump is going to continue oppressing people if you order delivery or not. Not every person delivering is at risk. You can support those at risk by extreme overtipping so they don't need to make many deliveries.
Is that the whole session?
He wrote a children's book with his wife.
DOGE is the nefarious hands. Elon is the nefarious hands. Everything they did seems illegal.
It seems like they got way more marketing from this than a typical rebranding.
The original post was about making public statements that stand up to the bullying and pushing back. You mentioned Schumer. I showed that he was in fact making public statement to push back.
I'd like to see a turnover in leadership. I'm aware of the problems. I'm also not complaining about things not happening when they are in fact happening.
This is Jetty. He never wants to hear you complain about his barking again. 13/10 (IG: ullalynn3)
You can make your own judgement, but seeing people call out Democratic Congress members as not doing the things they're doing is annoying.
It's true tho
They're being threatened with denied funds for not following unlawful demands. If Trump cared about people's safety Trump wouldn't cut off the funds. Even if he tries, this doesn't look legal. "Look what you made me do" is what the person that dose something wrong says.
You don't think he's that petty? He had a negative experience related to wind turbines and now he doesn't like them. The people who are profiting from blocking wind turbines are encouraging him and feeding his bias.
Not sure if you know this, but unfortunately Subtack actively promotes, bad actors, hate speech and misinformation. Would love to see you on a different platform! More information and alternatives are available at leavesubstack.com

I think the reckless approach in general was intended but the specific manifestation of that approach was not planned.
I hope they see criminal convictions
One of their goals was to make the data available outside of the Social Security Administration.
If Rand Paul isn't calling for an impeachment and removal of Trump, then he doesn't really mean it when he criticizes Trump.
My mantra for foreseeable future is "try anyway". So many things seem insurmountable. It seems impossible to predict what will work, so going with my gut and my values and just trying until a clear path emerges is my default right now.
The media is owned buy the people who have been pushing for these policies. Why would their employees suddenly stop the favorable coverage? The media will not be saving anyone.
This time around? The media, which is owned by the billionaires that fund the lobbying infrastructure that have pushed for these policies, have been obscenely favorable to Trump for the last decade.
If impeachment isn't going to happen it's because nearly half of the population isn't all that bothered by Trump and his administration.
I think you're forgetting about Ron Vara.

That logic being, "who's going to stop me?"
This is bad even for the people who think they have enough money to be safe.
Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
The political elites in the Trump administration don't seem like they're interested in granting amnesty.
Ahh! I see. They were indicating that the people in round two that were able to shock themselves all had previously experienced the shock.
Sam, a Georgia father...said he noticed higher prices “across the board” when shopping for appliances and other items his kids need to go back to college...“The consequences of the election, for many people, are becoming clearer and clearer.” #TrumpFlation #MomSky
Wow! "All participants delivered the shock to themselves in this first part of the study." Every one of them shocked themselves in the first round!
So it's a subset of people who shocked themselves, then said they'd pay to not have to experience the electric shock again before given the option to sit in an empty room where they can choose to shock themselves or not?
What is the form of the financial incentive when you say, "There is also financial incentive to deport more people."?
I assumed that the higher processing fees were because ActBlue was using some of the processing fees for their operations. Interesting.
What's the source of this screenshot? I need to read the whole thing else I'll zap myself.
They seem to think that they can be constructed and operational within 18 months, which sounds reckless if done.
People should remember that aside from the depraved treatment against those detained there, well over $300 million in taxpayer dollars were disbursed through no-bid contracts to politically connected vendors at Alligator Alcatraz. This was complete financial malfeasance.
Isn't most of the water allocated to a few very wealthy people? Or am I mistaken?
He claimed that Intel's CEO voluntarily handed over 10% of Intel to the US. He didn't say anything about the threats made for not agreeing to do it. Sounds like complete crap and it sounds like it's illegal.
Does changing how water rights work fit under the mitigation of climate change effects?
I think my intention was lost through my poor communication. I'm saying that a drop in business revenue may have happened to some degree, as you noted, but it's only a proxy for what people are actually interested in anyway.
Of course, but people who have seen recesses before are indicating something noticeable is happening. That's worth paying attention to. Business revenue doesn't indicate how it feels to be intimidated and oppressed the way people speaking up about feeling intimidated and oppressed does.
There are videos showing that parts of DC which are typically packed during an August weekend are instead sparsely occupied by residents and visitors. It looks like the data used doesn't represent what's going on, but it seems like there's a real effect even if measuring it is providing difficult.
actions. I don't want people to be demoralized from attempts to show support. What do you think those specific people in Florida should do instead of recreating a memorial for people who lost their lives using chalk? Let's give them something better to use their energy on.
People who have very limited political influence want to support transgender people. They have limited means, but are motivated. They see an opportunity to show that there are people in the community that support transgender people. You are demoralized because they haven't chosen some other
As I said, the Democratic Party has a shitty system for nominating presidential candidates.
Do you not understand what that polling is? That's not an indication of Sanders being more popular among Democratic voters in the Democratic Primaries. Trump was not in the Democratic Primaries. These polls are entirely irrelevant to a vlaim of a stolen primary.
In any event, here's what COVID death rates looked like over the 22 months from May 2021 - February 2023. On the left: Death rates by vaccination rates. On the right: Death rates by 2020 Trump vote percent. Mirror images. acasignups.net/23/04/04/mar...
METLIFE: “.. The share of unemployed Americans who have been unemployed for more than 15 weeks has passed 40%. .. the highest share since just after the pandemic .. “.. there is a group that is having an increasingly difficult time the longer they stay unemployed.”
It's just gibberish to me.
I don't think I can interpret his words at all there.
Yeah. There are many options to do better here.
Sanders might have prevented a flip of some combination of Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin to beat Trump. But that is entirely unrelated to a claim that the Primary election was stolen.
a shitty means of determining a Presidential nominee. But even without that shitty process, it's clear that Clinton was substantially preferred by Democratic voters in all nation wide polls. Clinton did get more votes than Trump in 2016. She didn't get them in the states needed. It's possible
That was one poll. It was conducted over telephone. It doesn't have any relationship to the claim that DNC stealing the primary. Many polls showed that outside of the Northeast, Democratic voters preferred Clinton over Sanders (especially in the South East) by large margins. The DNC uses
Anyone using 150% more than the 90th percentile of residential energy consumption cound be taxed to pay for more energy production.
Instead we have an administration that is eliminating all safety and construction regulations on building nuclear power plants.
A good policy would be to increase electric power production while taxing the power consumption of large scale industrial usage. You could even use the tax revenue from the industrial power taxes to fund more production.
I can't see the context, but I'm assuming that they suggested that kids in a positive environment learn faster and learn more. Which isn't wrong, but they need teachers using effective methods else the environment is irrelevant.
It's bad faith actions all the way down.
