Republicans when a Black teenager commits a crime: Lock him up and sentence them like an adult.

Republicans when a white person does racist and/or rapey stuff: He was just a young, innocent person — give him a break!

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

I interviewed with Gorsuch on the 10th Cir. (It went as terribly as you might imagine). I talked to Mikkke Davis before the interview, and came away thinking: oh I’d rather walk into the sea

I feel like there are three types of Nobel Peace prize:
(1) wow, you did something to make the world better, thank you!
(2) boy, you really (nonviolently) advocate for your people, and they jailed you. That’s cool, we don’t know anything else about you (uh oh)
(3) FUCK, canya stop fighting goddamnit

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

In this sentence, is India considered a “partner” of the US?

I don’t think this is worse than “put everyone in gas chambers, heil hitler”

This is yet another reminder that the "you can just walk around with your papers and be fine!" is a lie: the cops routinely claim whatever documentation you provide is invalid

It's racism all the way down

It's a no-brainer that her appointment is invalid. So the question becomes, is the indictment (on she was the only lawyer signatory) invalid as a result—and, if so, is it too late for the Trump DOJ to remedy that problem, given that the statute of limitations ran on Sept. 30.

James Comey formally notifies the court of his intent to try to disqualify Trump’s lawyer Lindsey Halligan as unlawfully appointed.

The motion cites rulings DQ-ing two other Trump top prosecutors: Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba.
