I don't think I could better parody the state of the Washington Post opinions page than an essay from a crypto guy and the legal academy's worst amateur epidemiologist that earnestly argues that "stolen land" rhetoric is misguided because of statutes of limitations on lawsuits to recover property
It’s time to put Billie Eilish’s theory of property out to pasture, Richard Epstein and Max Raskin write.

It's not the most important takeaway from the federal government's arrest of Don Lemon, but I am struck going through this how unseriously judges and career prosecutors are taking Trump's DOJ these days. Contempt for these losers up and down. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I'm sure this will go well.
The Transportation Department is planning to use AI tools like Google Gemini to draft federal transportation regulations, a change that could cut rulewriting from months to minutes. Originally published by @propublica.org
Transportation Department Plans to Use AI to Write Regulations
During a December presentation, agency employees grew skeptical that Google Gemini could accurately write complex rules.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

Hopefully they intersperse it with Darnold's "seeing ghosts" clip. Can't let him forget he used to play for the Jets.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

What happens when SCOTUS disempowers lowers courts from enforcing basic constitutional rights at the behest of an authoritarian president committed to implementing white nationalism.
It’s currently operating totally outside of our constitutional rules. Habeas corpus , due process of law, equal protection, freedom of speech, 4th amendment protections against search and seizure, are all not being enforced in any common sense or meaningful way.
