48.9°C! But it’s a dry heat. 🙃

It's okay, we're used to you arriving late for the war. This'll be three for three.

AMAZING. they want criminals prosecuted. just not the old white rich ones. 😢

If you care about criminal system reform, Project 2025 would allow the DOJ to prosecute reform-minded district attorneys.

why would you do this if NOT to bleed more money out of the peons. jfc. it never ends with these fuck nuts.

IF IT FITS! I SITS!

Technically, not on the counter Also technically, a fragile jelly bean

there will be NO 2028 if Trump wins. the project 2025 will not allow that.

If for no other reason, turn out to vote to spite the “men who have never done anything but sniff their own farts” club.

bravo

TRUMP is our BREXIT😢 Can we learn from the failure of the Brits? Will we show up like the French?

WTF does this mean. exactly?

Why are we be holding till 9 people six of which lie, are judicially incompetent. And practice bold clear motivated reasoning. To our detriment.

These mistakes originalist justices are making aren’t about disputed interpretations of history, with evidence on both sides. They’re pulling quotes out of context to attribute ideas to founding figures that those figures adamantly opposed. (via @andycraig.bsky.social) reason.com/volokh/2024/...

The Supreme Court's Dubious Use of History in Department of State v. Munozreason.com Justice Amy Coney Barrett's majority opinion includes significant errors, and violates some of her own precepts against excessive reliance on questionable history.

Recent scotus decisions being under "the constitution" are only "fixable" by constitutional amendment or a change in court make up. There is nothing , not even Biden's next presidency, that can fix this mess. Trump will become sauron, scotus - the nazgul. All for money. Billionaires won.😢

The only reason republican states are trying to add further restrictions is to prevent poorer people without access to the additional documentation from voting. This has nothing to do with preventing non-citizens from voting.

Am i the only one who sometimes writes a skeet and then deletes it, thinking “who cares what I think on this topic”? Sometimes it seems like I’m the only person who has that thought.

Wow this is awesome and crows are great... I think the benchmark should be if they can navigate a taco bell drive-thru. 😋

Crows are such amazing ecological generalists. For several years I've watched various birds in the Seattle area that have learned to pluck fish from the water, sometimes swooping and scooping, other times, hovering almost like a tern. Below, some very jerky video (hand-held 800mm lens). 🪶

I WANT to be ON THE COVER next year!

Elect Trump and end recreational sex. 🤢

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

Truth. (Artist unknown.) #beryl

then why do "we" have to follow this ??? ( IT makes me scream) this is "just because lawmaking" and is there NO WAY out from the carnage that will follow.

Do you know which other Americans have immunity from criminal law at all times, forever? Absolutely no one. This is different than qualified immunity, judicial immunity, prosecutorial immunity, etc. Those only bar civil suits. Freestanding immunity from criminal law is unprecedented in the U.S.

Fuck you SCOTUS. I'm sure everything that's happen this week was brought up around the fire at Harlan's

occurs to me that bribing the president is now /always/ legal, since in every case the only way to distinguish gratuity from bribe is via evidence that could never be admissible

The Court has purported to strip us of all legal recourse for crimes committed by the most powerful person in the nation. Each and every one of us is now, effectively, at the mercy of an autocrat, who could order our death if he simply made the pretense of connecting it to his official duties.

Criminal law probably functioned as some kind of deterrent on abuses of presidential power, and that deterrent is now gone. But even if that weren't true, today's ruling would be an appalling display of contempt for the American people and for the basic principles on which this country rests.
