Tired of Elon’s shit so I figured I’d share my commie trash takes over here when I’m not busy being the bane of @nottherealdavey.bsky.social’s existence.

When the courthouse doors open tomorrow, my law firm will be litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Yes, that is a lot. In advance of 2026, Republicans and their allies are trying to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Just taking as many photos as I can, before this puppy ends up losing an eye because she won’t leave the damn cat alone. Winifred has outlasted 3 big ass dogs, Stellaluna. She’s not putting up with your nonsense.

@lilymarswrites.bsky.social I don’t have any bathing kitten videos for you at the moment, but I did want to show you my new baby heathen.

Stellaluna is lucky she’s so darn cute because she has a sassy mouth.

Love to see it!
The spreadsheet “names more than 800 firms, assigning them to one of five stark categories:

“Caved to Administration”

“Complying in Advance”

“Other Negative Action”

“Stood Up Against Administration’s Attacks”

.. or “No Response.”

It happened again...

When Trump arrived at the Pope's funeral there was no acknowledgment by the thousand gathered

But when Zelenskyy arrived the crowd broke
out in impromptu applause

Same thing happened when both men appeared at the reopening of Notre Dame

The world doesn't abide Putin's puppet

I read the book Sam and Dave Dig a Hole by Mac Barnett to PreK-2nd grade this week. They have never been this invested in a read aloud. It was a good week in the library.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place.

Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

I wrote about the disinformation campaign waged against two tiny federal agencies focused on foreign aid. One helped deter people from joining terrorist groups, while the other helped people stay home and not have to migrate to the US, both supoosed MAGA goals www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

GREENLAND PM:

“.. The recent things that the American president has done mean that you don't want to get as close to (the U.S.) as you might have wanted in the past. We need to draw a line in the sand and spend more effort on those countries that show us respect for the future we want to draw."
Greenland leader says Trump's threats "mean you don't want to get as close" to the U.S.
Ahead of Greenland's election, its prime minister says Trump's rhetoric makes residents less inclined to accept his offer "to be a part of" the U.S.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.
