Supreme Court cases.

Interestingly, NewsMax refused before Fox did.

Lol, after most other places had already rejected it. They only feel safe when they can hide in a crowd.

We sit around and bitch about the corporations caving to the alt-Reich, about Congress people just giving in to Trump, about ICE not having a conscience to do the things they do.

Yet as long as we only sit and bitch, as long as we’re not fighting back in some way, we are also complicit in what our country’s government does.

If you honk your horn to warn people ICE is around, you are protecting them. If you protest the regime, others will see that there’s are others standing up and this is not inevitable. If you call your Congress people, you are telling them what the will of the people is, and that people are watching their actions. You don’t have to do everything, but you should be doing something.

How can you expect corporations to care or Congress people to have a spine, if you won’t even pick up a phone? Courage, and consciences, are contagious.

“Should Texas be allowed to secede?!”

Yes. Please go. Soon.

It’s the reason a felon can take office in the government. Otherwise, it would be easy to “convict” someone you considered a threat.

There was a study years ago about putting up Jersey walls on parts of US interstate highways, to see if they increased or decreased the number and severity of accidents. The conclusion was that it increased the number of minor accidents, and decreased the number of serious accidents.

My guess is that universal healthcare would be the same: increasing the number of minor visits and (by noticing and addressing issues before they became serious) decreasing the number of serious visits.

Fuck all of them, they’ll turn around and support him as soon as it’s convenient again.

He told SCOTUS not to take the case because he wanted the leverage over her.

My guess is that he’s saying this to suck up to Trump, even though he knows he can’t do it. And that Trump Inc will make “commemorative” coins and sell them at inflated prices to MAGA idiots who will believe they’re real coins and try to spend them sometime in the future.

Wikipedia says

“A Kumari is a prepubescent girl selected from the Shakya clan of the Nepali Newari Buddhist community. It is believed that the girl is possessed by the goddess Taleju or Durga. When her first menstruation begins, it is believed that the deity vacates her body. […] While there are several Kumaris throughout Nepal, with some cities having several, the best known is the Royal Kumari of Kathmandu. […] her life takes on an entirely new character. She will leave her palace only on ceremonial occasions. Her family will visit her rarely, and then only in a formal capacity. Her playmates will be drawn from a narrow pool of Newari children from her caste, usually the children of her caretakers.”

Uh, what becomes of these poor girls once they reach puberty? I’m guessing they get married off to some well-connected old, rich person. It seems such a sad life :(

a facility that is typically used to process illegal immigrants after they have been arrested and before they are transported to a long-term detention facility.

They said they weren’t going to hold them, they were all going to be immediately deported. We said that wasn’t realistic and they said we were lying.

Stop calling it an assassination! If Hortman’s killing was just a “murder”, them this is as well.

I’m not.

Lol, of course they still get paid!

It’s clearly written by somebody who has never filed or prosecuted a fucking case before.

Nah, remember that WWII sabotage book that said, “do what you’re ordered to do, but do it as badly as possible” … ?

Will congressional Republicans get serious about restraining Kennedy’s perverse policies or forcing his resignation?

Betteridge’s law: “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”

They want their speech out of their hate-infested echo chambers so that they can start infecting more of the populace.

As someone pointed out, this is the start of the block warden-spies the Stasi ran in East Germany: spy on and report your neighbors, and maybe you’ll get an extra ration of eggs this month …

Oh, they’ll “release” it all right. But they’ll narrow down the scope as much as possible to some combination of “things that have already been released”, “things that can’t be released” (ie, the grand jury records, which are pretty much never released and which require judicial approval), , and “new things the public hasn’t seen yet but which are redacted to near total blackness”.
