It is nearly impossible to sue federal agents -- especially for violations of federal law.

The solution is robust, reliable public transit and a decoupling of car ownership / drivership with basic public life.

Like they've never done that before.

Despite all the am-pu-ta-tions, you mean?

also an early entry into the now, as far as I know,-lapsed B&S tradition of a female co-lead vocal to Murdoch. yielded some of their best work.

The concern is that ICE is going to descend on MN regardless of the legality of doing so. The effort to point out the lawlessness of Trump’s order here—while noble—could lull bystanders into a false sense of security.

That’s absolutely the takeaway here, and the effort to point out the illegality of the action—while noble—may lull people into a false sense of security.

This guy acknowledges that TPS has been cancelled early (and over legal challenge) for Venezuelan nationals just a month ago. So it’s more complicated that what he paints it out as.

The cognoscenti's supposed "frustration" isn't due to any real (or media-driven) concern or panic. I've seen more discussion on their backlash than the case itself.

It's mostly a function of their vested interest in maintaining the veneer of SCOTUS' credibility despite ample contrary evidence.

Procedure is a red line -- precisely until the Court thinks it isn't.

The reality is: we don't know why cert. was denied in Davis, but we do know that the Court is rights-skeptical (rights-adverse?). And people are justified in feeling worried about their rights in this environment.

It's more like, "some people got things wrong, so some people don't know what they're talking about." I would put nothing past this SCOTUS, and I don't think that experts are doing their credibility any favors by thinking there are any red lines.

Why is a communist stumping for McKinsey alum Mayor Pete of all people?
November 6, 2025 at 2:37 PM
You are impressively wrong.

1. Mayor Pete is not in office and was not during any part of the mayoral race.

2. The Hatch Act doesn't prohibit people in political office from endorsing candidates.

3. You don't even know what you yourself experienced. The Hatch Act doesn't apply to the military.
November 6, 2025 at 2:15 PM
You are absolutely wrong about this.

such shitty writing too. one of the worst reviews i've ever read, compositionally speaking.

Saw it last year and can't recommend it enough!

You are entitled to your opinion w/r/t competency and experience. But the damage as far as "preventing" a Lander win by "running" Mamdani seems to have already been done and past fixing at this point.

But go ahead and recycle Cuomo talking points for little (no?) apparent reason.

What is constructive about your initial comment? What do you hope to add to the discourse? Seems to me like typical establishment gatekeeping.

Maybe you should give the guy who is most likely to beat an untenable option the best opportunity to be your mayor. See how "performative" he is then.

I helped sue MN jails for the same practice while in law school. We found that roughly half of the jails in the state were violating the law, probably to the tune of several million dollars.

the government, via the remaining lawyers, would need to waive privilege -- so it's not going to happen.
