It is almost as if we need oversight over the judicial system.

An examination of more than 1,200 federal judges and state supreme court justices turned up dozens of judges who chose not to recuse when facing potential appearances of impropriety involving familial financial connections. www.propublica.org/article/judg...

Even When Big Cases Intersect With Their Families’ Interests, Many Judges Choose Not to Recusewww.propublica.org Ambiguous — and unenforced — recusal standards mean few checks and balances for top judges when cases involve their family members.

The white supremacist gunman who murdered 23 people going about their day in El Paso five years ago next month had been obsessed with an alleged “Hispanic invasion” of Texas. There is no pivot, or softening. This is the Trump Republican Party. They keep telling us who they are, so believe them.

Lake also warned of the "Bidvaion" reference to the replacement theory that smashes the claim that Biden is intentionally facilitating a literal "invasion" of the United States, before leading the crowd in the nativist "build the wall" chant.

I'm more and more confident that down the line evidence will reveal that this was all a ploy (that took out two bystanders, but he's "immune" for "official acts" 🙃) but if anything, seeing how much it failed to move the needle is good news.

Call your reps today to tell them you support this and expect them to vocally support these efforts as well as AOC’s articles of impeachment for the compromised justices. It only takes 5 minutes, and you often don’t even have to speak to a real human! (Negative/doomer replies will be blocked)

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

Reforming this court is imperative. Ethics rules and term limits alone cannot fully restore balance and independence to #SCOTUS. But today’s announcement is a watershed moment in the fight to take back the court. Our stmt from @liptonlubet.bsky.social:

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Samurai and medieval knights are basically the same concept: Violent thugs employed by feudal lords to collect taxes and wage wars retroactively given fanfiction so people don't feel bad about thinking they're cool.

The idea of the "honorable samurai" is a movie trope, about as realistic as the "singing cowboy." Bushido as we know it was created in 1899, long after the age of the samurai, in the age-old game of talking about "the good old days" that never really existed.

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

It shouldn't have required AOC to open articles of impeachment against Thomas and Alito for him to endorse these changes but I'm glad he finally is. These changes are long overdue.

JUST IN: Bombshell Report Reveals Biden Prepping to Endorse Sweeping Changes to Supreme Courtwww.mediaite.com Biden is working on pushing sweeping changes to the Supreme Court, including establishing term limits and an "enforceable code of ethics," reported the Washington Post

Oh hey, he's doing his job again. It's good when he does that.

I hope we can safely breed domestic ferrets to not have the fur grease. I'd totally get one if...shit I live in CA. They aren't legal pets here. Whatever, in college (in GA), a roommate had one and it was a funny slinky guy. The only problem was the grease.

Something you may have missed yesterday - The Biden Administration is going to unveil a nationwide rent control proposal. It's going to be challenging to implement, and will require control of both chambers, but they're working on it. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Mmm boy howdy, nothing makes me wanna play your video game more than telling me NOTHING about the gameplay or genre, but constantly reassuring me that I can win “real prizes” instead!!! Who cares if it’s actually fun, right? Irrelevant!!!!

Nobody asked, but fuck that, you're hearing it anyway. If I ever get time to do a sci-fi setting comic, I definitely want to include the ridiculous complications (and benefits) uplifted dogs introduce to society and law. Like, the first wave would be sapient an all, but extreme pushovers.

This is what AOC and Bernie get for sticking by Biden, and we can debate the policy, but this is a super-tangible win for the left side of the Democratic Party

I’m not a fan of every detail of the copyright system and hoe corporations use it, but some form of copyright needs to exist until we have a system in which people who do art as a job can live comfortably without relying on being paid directly for their labor.
