This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

If I could offer students one bit of…advice: be brutally traditional about what is printed on your degree.

If you are first-gen or in any way non traditional, this goes double. Let rich kids get degrees in AI. You get something called “English”.
The danger is that degrees are regarded as worthless as nobody believes students have acquired any skills any more, at least not ones they couldn't have hot from just going into an office job from school.
In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

The biggest event that turned white people away from democratic candidates and which is at the root of their animosity is the civil rights act. That is the essential anger. There has been a change but it’s no surprise why Black people vote one way and white people the other.
The 2006 reauthorization of the VRA passed 390-33 in the House and 98-0 in the Senate when both were controlled by Rs. GWB signed it. Conservatives have never full-throatedly supported racial and gender inclusion - that's why they're conservatives! - but there has undeniably been a change.

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

You don’t have to read between the lines. Trump is literally saying, publicly and out loud, that he is at war — actual, military-involved war — with Americans and American cities he personally dislikes. That impeachment is politically off the table is a national scandal.
Trump: You know, our inner cities, which we'll be talking about because it's a big part of war now, a big part of war.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.
These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.
NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.

This is the same person who just a few weeks ago lectured folks about saying/doing things that dehumanize people. This is not the first or second time he has flipped on this kind of issue. When he or ingroup does it, this is a joke. When they (outgroup) do it, they are wrong/bad.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.
