DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Orbán rode to power on resentment over the economic stagnation that developed under center-left governments. But he leaves office with Hungarians facing falling wages and higher inflation than similar countries are experiencing. Orbán’s sectarianism and intolerance have sparked neither a religious revival nor a fertility bump; Hungary’s population is shrinking and has become more irreligious, even as Orbán has demonized LGBTQ people, “Muslim invaders,” and Jews. Orbánism, in short, did not make Hungarians more rich, Christian, or free—unless you happened to be one of Orbán’s buddies, in which case you may have gotten rich. As most Hungarians felt their economic circumstances worsen, Orbán provided them with relatively powerless targets to hate.

Hi Moms of BlueSky! One of my dearest friends just had her third child. I want to send a gift, but I'm not sure what to send. She's a SAHM with lots of support, the two older boys are 8 & 3. Any suggestions?

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots. I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

"If a man does not have an ideal and try to live up to it, then he becomes a mean, base, and sordid creature, no matter how successful." - Theodore Roosevelt The point of an ideal is that "try to live up to it" part. We're imperfect, individually and collectively, but the job is to strive.

Presumably you saw this going around
I was born in a neighborhood
Where the whistles blow real good And those fascists in their hoods
Thought they'd walk over us And every single day
As my mom drove to the fray
She'd invite the neighbors out with this chorus:
Come out, La Migra goons, In your stumbling platoons,
Teli your moms how you ate shit on ice for quotas!
Tell her how despite your guns all you ever did was run
from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota!
Text your ex how bravely you
Shoved those grannies two by two,
Your grenades and gas and guns against their whistles;
Say you guard the USA
From the non-white and the gay
As you beg her for that child support dismissal
Come out, La Migra goons...
Come let us hear you, please How you hunted refugees
How you sought them well and truly persecuted
How you'd throw a teargas bomb
How you murdered someone's mom
When the Good you'll never match was executed
Come out, La Migra goons...
Come let us hear you say
How you slaughtered our Renee
For the crime of pride, for looking too empowered Where are those sneers and jeers
That you loudly let us hear
Claiming Ross shot not in hate but as a coward
Come out, La Migra goons...
The time will come at last (And we'll work to bring it fast)
When every MAGA Nazi runs before us And if they drag their feet
Our kids'll drive them from our streets
With a verse or two of singing this fine chorus:|
Come out, La Migra goons, In your stumbling platoons,
Tell your moms how you ate shit on ice for quotas!
Tell her how despite your guns all you ever did was run
from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota!

For Renee Nicole Good Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026 — Amanda Gorman #poetry #notmine
They say she is no more, 
That there her absence roars, 
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, 
Dark fury of flowers, 
Pure howling of hymns.

If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater 
Of the worst of what we've been.

Change is only possible, 
& all the greater, 
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love 
& better angels of our nature.

What they call death & void, 
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously, 
Endures our enormity.

You could believe departed to be the dawn 
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.[The poem is split across two images, but I transcribed it in full in the alt text of the first one]

My personal view is that you need to go limp and not resist, as any attempt to fight back will clearly be used as a justification to escalate, even lethally (despite being legally prohibited). Yell your name to bystanders, tell them to record, scream “I am not resisting!” Words are your weapons

Frankly, it might be *better* if everybody tries to slow roll this and we don't end up at SCOTUS fighting about immunity until 2028 or after. As I wrote this morning "a change in the administration might make SCOTUS think differently about whom federal officers should be allowed to murder."

No one who treated "wear a mask when you enter this store" as horrific tyranny actually believe in deference to state authority. It's Schmittian friend-enemy politics all the way down. "We" should be able to do whatever we feel like without consequence. "They" should be harassed, repressed, killed.

I won't circulate that awful video, but it’s very telling that the first thing the two ICE agents do after the shooting is pull up their face coverings—as if all they need to do to mask their behaviour is to mask themselves, as if their anonymity is a shield against all accountability.
