Characterizing Hobby Lobby, who went to SCOTUS to preserve their right to not provide healthcare they don't like to their employees among other overtly political activities, as a business with "low cultural impact," is certainly a choice.
This dude is just a soft guy who is scared of everything. Driving in DC is very annoying, but it is not scary like this at all.
We are all fully within the panopticon. And the prison guards are incompetent at best and malicious at worst.
Exhibit ♾️ that you simply should not support this man. The recirpocal support is entirely conditional your usefulness.

The people in charge of our military are totally amoral imbeciles, wholly lacking in basic human decency or even a surface-level understanding of the concept of consequences for actions.
Remember, if you or a family member is the victim of a crime, the prosecutor does not represent you. If what you want out of the process isn’t in alignment with what they want, they can and will ignore you.
this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying
To be clear, there are 1 million thousands in 1 billion dollars. A lot of the 900 people this article is discussing have 10s of billions of dollars, and some have hundreds of billions of dollars. Indistinguishable from satire.
Do they understand that taxing them is the nicest way large numbers of people have dealt with/will deal with wealth hoarding?

There used to be a time where you had to prove the things you say
The Trump Court has been uniquely willing to rely on nonsense to support its rulings: praying football coach, Kavanaugh stops, and now the NY redistricting case, as a few examples. And this doesn’t account for the unexplained shadow docket orders that overrule well-reasoned lower court rulings.
Every opinion dealing with systemic discrimination, starting at least with the Rhenquist Court, has discounted tons of evidence showing widespread equal protection violations as well as individual expressions of odious racism by relevant decision makers.
Anthony Kennedy famously relied on a fake statistic about sex offender recidivism to hold that sex offender registry requirements can be applied retroactively and aren’t really criminal punishment.
Factual misrepresentation has been a hallmark of SCOTUS for decades. Every time Clarence Thomas writes a criminal/post-conviction procedure opinion, he will often open with the most lurid possible description of the crime, even when that description is irrelevant and based on clearly false evidence.
The Tech Billionaire panopticon is basically unavoidable at this point.

There are reports of voter confusion in Dallas County, TX, where voters are being turned away for going to the wrong polling place. www.dallasnews.com/news/electio...
It would be nice to have people in power not acting in bad faith constantly.
Privatization yet again proves its foundational principle — adding a profit motive cannot provide better service for less money because the profit will eat up more than any potential efficiencies. Privatization ALWAYS results in less & worse service for massively higher costs.
Made for classical guitar 100%.
Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse.
Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs.
Democrats had two years to fix this.
On Monday, the administration, in a court filing, asked an appeals court if it could walk away from its appeal of victories the firms had won against the White House. The move was a significant concession by the White House that it could not stand behind its orders. But on Tuesday morning, the Justice Department appeared to have abruptly changed its position, according to the people. In an email to the four firms contesting the orders, a department official apologized for the short notice and said it would file a motion to withdraw its
Feels to me like the last competent DOJ lawyers tried to make a Business Decision about how to use their limited resources, and then someone in the White House, probably Trump himself, threw a fit about the negative headline and demanded that the attacks continue www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

9/9: This may seem hypertechnical, but it underscores the broader point I made in "One First" about *both* of the Court's grants of emergency relief last night—that the Republican appointees' impatience is leading them to run over settled legal constraints to reach the merits in these cases.

I’d add AEDPA to this. The Roberts’ Court has used it to effectively cut off federal review of state convictions. To the extent federal habeas may have acted as a check on state prosecutors/judges, that is now essentially nonexistant.
Policing is inherently political. These guys are just too dumb not to make it obvious.
Just say the old guy has shingles! You don’t have to put forth obvious lies about EVERYTHING.
