The absolute irony of posting this literally an hour *after* Adam Schiff showed up at Huerta's bail hearing. And a day after Maxine Waters was on the front lines of the protests daring the National Guard to shoot her. And Pramila Jayapal on the front lines. You're spreading fascist propaganda bud

BREAKING: Adam Schiff just showed up in Los Angeles at the bail hearing for the union leader Trump arrested. This is amazing -and exactly how you fight back against Donald Trump.

My wife saw two cars pulled over on her way to drop off the kids this morning. One was a construction truck with workers who looked Latino. They were surrounded by 8 cops, clearly more than required. The other was an El Camino with Latino-appearing occupants. The car was blocked in by 2 cop cars.

Without fail, whenever there's an article about a transgender person, the comments have at least one person who boldly declares: “There are only two genders! XX and XY!” The reality, of course, is not that simplistic, far from it.

The dirty secret is this: if white folks want to win the birthrate wars, they don't need to pay their people to have babies. They need to pay OTHER peoples to NOT have babies. THAT WOULD WORK. But something tells me they're not going to do that. :)

The Emperor Augustus was *obsessed* with Roman birthrates, and tried to address the issue with full dictatorial powers over a 40 YEAR REIGN in a society that did not value women as full and equal people. You know what? He failed. BECAUSE THE ROMANS WERE TOO RICH. They got outfucked by barbarians.

Damn, this conclusion: “We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital... This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.”
Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a
conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around. The
Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent
of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from
a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive
may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic
gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.
It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it
may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe
our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American
ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the
best that is within us while there is still time.
In sum, and for the reasons foregoing, we deny the motion for the stay pending
appeal and the writ of mandamus in this case. It is so ordered.
