the truly crazy making part of all of this is that voter fraud EFFECTIVELY DOES NOT EXIST. you have a better chance of finding an actual leprechaun at the end of the rainbow than of finding evidence of voter fraud that influences an election

But we have to stay focused on the harm we’re trying to prevent. We punish people for their wrongdoing, not their wrongthinking. That’s the point of the Supreme Court decisions that this opinion follows, and that’s the principle this opinion upholds. I think it’s a good one.

This is an incredibly difficult issue to think about and talk about, and I don’t blame anyone for vehemently disagreeing on this one. I think there are nuances yet to be explored, and the AI advances of the last few years do present questions we’re going to have to grapple with.

There's no standing for states to sue over that EO yet because it's just the president of the United States officially proclaiming his order to illegally interference in state elections, and you have to wait and see how and if agencies actually follow what he said first, is pants-on-head lunacy.

Frankly, I want to divest SCOTUS of jurisdiction to enter *any* orders reversing a lower court without a complete elaboration of the reasons why. They are the least busy judges in America with a self-selected workload. If they can't bother to explain it, they should not do it.

And as Craig Forman, former McClatchy CEO noted, @jkbjournalist.bsky.social didn’t do it alone. Emily Michot and Casey Frank were integral to the Epstein project. So were company execs who paid almost $1 million plus in legal fees. Compare that to the pusillanimous charlatans at ABC, CBS et al.

This is excellent. Something about the story felt off when I first read it, but this cleanly distills my vague concerns and identifies a whole bunch more red flags that I didn’t catch because this isn’t an area I keep close tabs on. Critical voices with subject matter expertise are so important.

The state’s interest issuing IDs is to have an accaurate way to ensure a person is who they purport to be. Mandating licenses that inaccurately reflect a person’s appearance and public presentment undermines the state’s interest because of a bare desire to harm. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

In America, we can't eradicate racism with law or policy. But we can make racism shameful again. Doing so is ultimately a political and cultural act, and it must be a conscious one. And it is an important part to restore some semblance of our liberal democracy. /fin

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Denaturalization as criminal punishment is not a thing in American law, it's unconstitutional under any circumstances. It can only be done in the narrow case of somebody who fraudulently obtained the naturalization itself. Otherwise they are no different from natural-born citizens who commit crimes.

If you're getting militant about keeping out "snitches" and making space for people to get out their feelings by setting things on fire, reconsider who you're really doing this for.

Hannah Abbott @partyboots.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

As a professional matter, I'm obligated to take the position that setting dumpsters on fire is not protected by the First Amendment and you do not have the right to do so. As a personal fucking matter, I take the position that arson is against the law for a good fucking reason.

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

What I am saying is that what "usually" happens is irrelevant to the person whose neighbor tells them, "Your husband was just arrested but he isn't hurt, if you have an immigration attorney you should contact them right now and tell them he's probably at this facility--"

If you are present at one arrest where you’re able to get the person’s name and help their loved ones find out what’s happened as soon as possible, that’s not ‘doing very little.’ No one should be obligated to put their lives at risk, but the people doing it absolutely matter.

To clarify why DHS is wrong - the standard for an arrest is the same as the standard for a warrant, probable cause. Reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, a lower standard, is what is used to justify a brief detainment for the purposes of determining if criminal activity is occurring.

Another day, another impeachable offense. Also, that Natanson "has spent the past year covering the Trump administration’s effort to fire federal workers and redirect much of the work force to enforcing his agenda" makes pretty clear that this is not about national security.

This is literally what the 4th amendment was written to protect against. There are lots of things that are up for discussion and debate about how one interprets the 4th amendment. This isn't one of them.

Constitution of the United States
Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
