Everyone should take a couple of minutes and watch this, because it's a perfect illustration of how ICE disappears people by making it almost impossible to communicate with family, friends, and lawyers.

Very interesting: Washington Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu (who's retiring soon) won't apply equal protection to invalidate discrimination against the poor because she's afraid of giving SCOTUS an opportunity to further weaken the 14th Amendment. Remarkably candid. www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf...
![YU, J. (dissenting) — I agree with the majority’s summation of federal equal
protection law and its limited application to the issue before us. However, I cannot
overlook the inherent unfairness of disregarding the economic value of community
service used to pay legal financial obligations in Blake1 cases. Thus, I must dissent
from the majority in result.
Nevertheless, I cannot join the analysis proffered by the dissent of Justice
Mungia. I am not persuaded that current federal due process and equal protection
doctrines fit the fact pattern before us, and I am reluctant to attempt to expand
these doctrines at this time. Doing so risks weakening established jurisprudence
that is already being weakened, as the United States Supreme Court “retreat[s]
from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most.” United States v.
Skrmetti, 605 U.S. 495, 579, 145 S. Ct. 1816, 222 L. Ed. 2d 136 (2025)

We don’t talk about the mental and emotional pollution that Trump and the GOP have unleashed on the world. Even setting aside the illegal, anti-democratic, murderous policies, what they have done to the state of the human species is unforgivable.

Federal agents cut off her wedding ring.
Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.

Quentin Tarantino has proved himself to be a film critic, not an artist. The critic’s inherent self-loathing is obvious in his cruelty toward his ‘fellow’ artists. Juvenile and stupid.

“I think we have to be careful with the Nazi comparisons” people are always waiting until we are five minutes until the Holocaust and then they’re like well it’s only ethnic cleansing not a Holocaust
Is this clear enough or are we still doing that whole thing where we pretend it’s about “crime”?

Anyone who didn't say HARRY DEAN STANTON messed up.
This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.
In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.

Uh…that is quite literally what the vast majority of Hispanic communities in cities throughout America are doing.
Maybe what you mean to say is “it is not a fascist state for me yet”. That would be accurate, but there is a poem about that.

Legacy media have their own thin blue line, just like the police, and they will by default defend members of the club; it doesn’t matter whether they masturbated on zoom, threw an election, or simply sucked the venom out of RFK Jr’s dick.
