My use of profanity on Bluesky has increased 400% since the SCOTUS immunity decision.

Fuckity fuck the media with a fucking rusty screwdriver.

There's nothing Trump hates more than being pinned to a particular position. Platforms are for losers.

The ramped-up hits on Project 2025 must be landing — Trump just shoved it right in front of the bus

There are still 4 months to go ...

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech. "Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!" Video and story here: newrepublic.com/article/1834...

Who the f*ck cares who Ross Douthat and David French, both conservatives, think the Democratic nominee should be?

New Yorker wants Joe Biden, whose admin has had historical success, to resign bc he's not doing well at running for re-election. This is not, in fact, what the 25th Amendment was made for.

This Is What the Twenty-fifth Amendment Was Designed Forwww.newyorker.com If Joe Biden doesn’t willingly resign, there’s another solution, which would allow Democrats to unite around a new incumbent.

This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects. www.law360.com/securities/a...

Just in time for July 4, my colleague Sarah Swan has posted her stunning new paper (forthcoming in Yale Law Journal) on police suing people they are supposed to protect. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Extremely frustrating to hear legal experts analyzing the SCOTUS ruling on immunity like just another case - it's an inherently normalizing act. People need to stop playing constitutional Calvinball and treat them like political actors.

It is actually not great when wealthy elites try to have this much influence on the nominee, whether or not you think Biden is fit to serve.

Many wealthy Democratic donors are trying to pressure President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and help lay the groundwork for an alternate candidate.

Major Democratic Donors Devise Plans to Pressure Biden to Step Asidewww.nytimes.com The president appears intent on remaining on the ballot, while wealthy donors are discussing plans to put their money elsewhere.

This will soon be followed by another law that defines a week as 9 days long.

In Greece, a law came into effect on Monday that allows some companies to enforce a six-day workweek. Here’s what to know about the country’s overtime measure.

Some Countries Are Trying a Four-Day Workweek. Greece Wants a Six-Day One.www.nytimes.com The country, which already has the European Union’s longest average workweek, wants to add another day in some cases, bucking a growing business trend.

Among the many, many issues here, it's clear that ICE has way too much money to play with.

ICE created a fake university in order to defraud, rob, and deport students. The depths of depravity there know no bounds. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Some of them are ALSO so far up Trump's network that we should read accordingly. NYT has now assigned Haberman to Biden stories. That's ... a confession.

Instead, they stealth-edited the title.

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

Ah yes, we need a Strong Man to be our leader. His Will shall Triumph.

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

The media is not going to stop running Biden-is-done stories unless he elbow drops Trump from the top rope at his next rally.

The media is showing its whole ass today.

Since it is Independence Day, I think I'm legally obligated to shout "Fuck yeah" whenever I hit the furthest target.

Rather than doomscrolling all day and raging against the NYT, I'm going to do the most American thing possible on this July 4th: play Top Golf with my family.

CNN fact checked whether I in fact caught walleye while wearing a specific hat more thoroughly than the NYT checked whether the “I dont vote” guy actually voted.

In a very non-trivial way, July 4 and the American War of Independence secured liberty by securing the right to vote. So running this on July 4 sure is a choice

On July 4, the most influential newspaper in the United States decided to use some of its very selective and limited space to publish a screed from a right-wing, anti-democracy zealot.

This is a dumb article, but also isn't the author's first rodeo, and his other writing shows the real reason he doesn't vote "But my principal reason for declining to take part in elections is moral. It involves, I suppose, a private objection to democracy itself." theweek.com/articles/802...
