I made it through eight presidents who didn't have the need to keep telling everyone how they're the greatest president in history, and I can't wait for this pathology to be buried and the ground salted.

If courts' only recourse for government officials flagrantly disregarding their orders is to refer the contemptuous acts to those same officials to investigate prosecute, what real power do courts have to check the executive?
And why should the executive ever obey a court ruling against it?

Is Thomas Chatterton Williams assigning stories now?
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

"How many people live in Venezuela, Mr. President?" It's not difficult.
DOOCY: Is the campaign against Venezuela still just about drugs, or it also now about oil?
TRUMP: Well, it's about a lot of things. But one of things it's about is the fact they've allowed millions of people to come into our country from their prisons

Dude's entire vibe is "impropriety"
Unlike Supreme Court Justices, the rest of the fed’l judiciary is governed by canons of ethics. Among other things, they’re not supposed to attend political events & should avoid even an appearance of impropriety. joycevance.substack.com/p/judicial-e...
Judicial Ethics
Yesterday, Third Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Emil Bove attended an event where Donald Trump spoke.

New from me: Third Circuit Judge Emil Bove may have violated the federal judiciary’s ethics code when he attended a politically-charged rally held this week by President Donald Trump, legal experts and lawmakers said Wednesday. @courthousenews.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/did-emil-bov...
Did Emil Bove violate judicial ethics code with appearance at Trump rally?
Experts and lawmakers are questioning the decision by the controversial Third Circuit judge and former Trump lawyer, who has long been accused of political loyalty to the White House.

Honest everyday Americans are really meeting the day against these fascist fucking racist pigs.
ICE continues to assault, harass, & harm Americans. In Minneapolis, incompetent tax payer funded ICE hit a pedestrian & pepper sprayed civilians from their vehicles.
This happened after ICE decided to go up & down a street demanding to see people's IDs, caused chaos & injuries, & then left.

I've really never seen a technology rolled out in such a hostile way, feels like they got away with RTO and decided "fuck it they're all sheep"
I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*
