I am constantly in federal court challenging ICE’s detention practices …
Yet despite all that, seeing ICE’s unfettered, gleeful, reflexive sadism is completely enraging & dispiriting.

VZW says that they will “make things right” after this week’s network outage … will that include reinstating NYT games streaks which were lost because we had no service?

Recently got an amazing decision in a federal habeas case, which has already helped free dozens of other folks … but - due to the procedural vicissitudes [aka, rank 🐂💩] of immigration law - my actual client remains detained.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Is there a new operative theory of immigration enforcement that to catch “the bad guys” you have to become “the worst guys”?

So, the same DOJ which couldn’t convict Sandwich Guy is somehow going to successfully prosecute a complex international narco-trafficking case involving a head-of-state?

After being at a local ER for over 6 hours last night, only to leave after learning that there was no “end in sight” as far as my family member being treated for a serious-but-admittedly-not-life-threatening thing, I don’t want to hear another peep about the disadvantages of socialized medicine.

This is the key. You can win some elections, but you can't force people to like or respect you; ironically, Trump's people want that respect from people they claim to care nothing about. They don't hate the "elites" - they envy that club, and they're mad because money and power can't buy them in.
Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.
