“Savage, not average.”
This guy (Mr. Vladeck) knows what he’s talking about. So.
In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Breakfast of champions! Leftover tortellini in a creamy Boursin sauce!

I want to scream & cry with how alone I am on this earth & how when i am so anxious there is nothing & no one to soothe me, and when I am so exhausted I want to cry, there is no one who loves me enough to tell me to rest. My mom was incapable of this & every bf i ever had. So it’s not like I had it

Got this from a first-year law student today. I’m going to turn comments and quotes off because I am going to respond in my own way and am not looking for advice. But I think people should see it.

Fred was in his bed when a bundle of dynamite went off behind it. He thought the heavy-ass headboard saved him.

His son was in the living room in a pair of University of Alabama pajamas.
i think about this picture of fred shuttlesworth looking at his bombed out house every day because it is in my classroom and so i see it five times a week. tired and defiant.

a face that says well, on we go

The stress is overwhelming.

You know though, it is what it is.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

An attorney in my office (who has left for federal pastures) was seen as the ne plus ultra perfect example of a lawyer in my office, so I referred to him as “The Lord.” His name (changed to protect him from me) was Stuart Douglas (“Stu”). My friend gave me a plate of Chik-Fil-A nuggies & I boycott

I really carry a tremendous amount of responsibility and it makes me wonder what everyone be thinking.

I need to talk less and stop helping. I think it is left over from my people pleasing. I have to physically restrain myself from people pleasing. I need to just shut tf up. Is there a way to do this easily?

I literally have to order tissues 10-20 boxes at a time. I am a tissue ho. With of course a runny nose.

I am just so confused, why Minneapolis? Is it because of Gov. Walz? All he did was run for office. It just makes so little sense. Immigration enforcement is taking indigenous people into custody. If it wasn’t so heinous & bizarre, it would be hilarious.

When I got a blood transfusion it saved my life of course but it still feels really weird having someone else’s blood in you. It did not make me crave McDonald’s fries or anything which was very disappointing. 🩸

5:22 am. Roasting broccoli for lunch to go with my left over salmon. And because I was already up & must have been dreaming about them, a casserole of scalloped potatoes. 🥔

I cooked dinner! Roasted teriyaki salmon and fresh green beans. Please clap. 👏🏽

Because I am a masochist, I listen to podcasts about Disney weddings.

I truly believe the biggest and most important difference is that every president other than Trump loved America. You may have thought, not enough, or not in the right way, but the love was unquestionable. To Trump this country is his bag of Halloween candy to plunder.

I added another (the third) extra thick mattress topper. I am in denial that I just need a different mattress.

Yay the part where I torment myself with legal questions so I cannot sleep.

This week’s middle of the night purchase: sour gummies.

Unsure what that was about.

I know my HRT has done some good, it is actually somewhat astonishing. It also makes me very nauseous, as does my ozempic. I wish every damn thing in my life was not bittersweet. After my multiple hour motion last week, I unceremoniously had to run & vom. This existence is very annoying.

I am already a criminal attorney. I already lived and worked immersed in human chaos. The state of reality right now is just a little too much. Then I think of my friends in Minnesota & I cannot fathom.
