A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:
“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

This is literally just free speech. What is this guy’s deal here?
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

My friend in Minneapolis texted me and said “ICE is all over the place” yesterday.
Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

This is the best of what being American is. This is the America we MUST strive for.
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

We as lawyers cannot revel in the gatekeeping of this profession (including the use of Latin and generally uncommon English) and also act surprised when jurors have no idea what is being said in the court room.
okay so speaking of this case, we got the jury notes and i would not say they instill a *ton* of confidence in the system

This is jarring. I sort of forgot politicians could say something really clever and smart in this country.

Been looking into this one. I wonder if it’ll end quickly via Anti-SLAPP, but it’s fed court and from what I know about NYC Fed Court it doesn’t apply Anti-SLAPP consistently. Possible a 12(b)(6) is enough too, but that’s a tougher fight. One to watch for sure.

Ripping off Japanese art to post an anti-foreigner message. Shocking.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Do you know what it feels like when you find out you’re playing a rigged game?
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

I guess it’s a good thing we were so concerned about the right to speak our opinions being outlawed by a ruling class that we guaranteed it by making it the very first amendment in our Bill of Rights when we formed the country.
