It would be cool to live in a society where being accused or suspected of an immigration crime (or any crime) did not mean you immediately forfeit all your rights & are subject to the predatory whims of state goons
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Man I don't even go to church anymore but I've had to hear about how I worship mary & "the fish god" my whole life
Damn, I found a “Catholics aren’t Christians because they worship Mary” in the wild! I thought those only lived in message boards and Utah.

Saw some little girl ask an adult man what his name was, he told her and then politely asked her name, she replied "I don't have to tell you my name. And YOUR name is little, little, little BABY." Owned

watched the whole thing. nice visuals but zero plot or character development. one-and-a-half stars (extra half star is for the jump scare at 08:35:23 where the grinch falls in and burns to death)
For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.
10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Notable mother-in-law story right from the jump: "Do you like collard greens? My friend whose fiance was a vet—he killed himself, they fixed up that nice victorian house and then he killed himself in a hotel room—she had a shindig recently and those were the only collard greens I've liked"

of course they don't that would ruin the surprise
they don’t tell you when you buy a christmas tree at the christmas tree farm that you could take it home, decorate it, and then be relaxing in your living room seven nights later when A BAT suddenly flies out and starts CRASHING AROUND YOUR HOUSE

Exactly the same thing trump does where he's obsessed with the notion that everyone has been "very unfair" to him despite succeeding wildly beyond what his intellectual limits would suggest is possible. It's pathological & all-consuming; they won't rest until they get the "We All Love You" prize
it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

One WEIRD trick to avoid military occupation— dictators HATE it!
The law Trump used to federalize the National Guard requires him to be "unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States."
The Court today agrees with Professor Lederman that "regular forces" means the U.S. military, which used to be called "the regulars."

![We conclude that the term “regular forces” in §12406(3)
likely refers to the regular forces of the United States military. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into
active federal service under §12406(3), the President must
be “unable” with the regular military “to execute the laws of
the United States.” Because the statute requires an assessment of the military’s ability to execute the laws, it likely
applies only where the military could legally execute the
laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse
Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from “execut[ing]
the laws” “except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress.”
18 U. S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize
the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory
or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be “unable” with those forces to perform that function.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreihnhnkeybllulian7vcwz2hvphcallbctlglmu2kczxeett6wdtbm@jpeg)

Wow. Genuinely shocked, and a hugely consequential decision.
Importantly, this is a case where @martylederman.bsky.social's amicus brief appears to have made a MAJOR impact. Before he wrote it, courts were sidestepping the "regular forces" issue entirely. And that's what the Trump admin lost on.

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![The Government asked this Court to stay the District Court's order. After the response and reply were filed, JUSTICE BARRETT referred the application to the Court. We directed the parties to file supplemental letter briefs on an issue that the District Court had addressed but the parties' initial briefs had not: the meaning of the term "regular forces" in §12406(3). In its supplemental brief, the Government argues that the term refers to civilian law enforcement officers, such as those employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Federal Protective Service.
Respondents, echoing the District Court, maintain that the term refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary.

Look there's a lot going on here but my first question is when do you think the last time trump ran at a full clip was. 40 years ago? 50?
My first thought when I see Donald Trump running away from a crowd while holding something of value?
Definitely the idea that he’s selflessly delivering it to someone else.

![Managing requires certain kinds of soft skills, ones I am not confident you possess. They weren’t necessary in your cushy Wall Street Journal op-ed job, or your cushier New York Times op-ed job. They were barely required at the publication you invented, The Free Press. So now you’re the head honcho at CBS News. [highlighted text] Let’s say you decide to skip levels to directly edit a 60 Minutes story. It doesn’t even have to be a controversial story to make all hell break loose — because you have neither the credibility nor the relationships required to take this kind of work on. And what’s more, you’ve got a news division composed exclusively of ambitious piranhas below you — not your handpicked cronies, like Tyler “I wish to see Hollywood virgins” Cowen. These people have decades in television, and you have a newsletter and a history of throwing your colleagues under the bus.
