Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.
"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

I'm on the edge of my seat. You don't realize how much you miss the Olympics until they're back and you're huffing pure uncut curling on a Wednesday afternoon before the game have even started officially.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The cool thing is that we know that every person out there in this cold is extra demoralizing to ICE and the administration. We fucking hate you so much and we’re prepared to stand outside in temperatures you can’t even fucking fathom to tell you that you suck absolute shit.

Also, when reporters start talking about the chatbots this way, it is imperative to remind them they are basically asking a toaster for comment. They should be a lot more embarrassed about this than they currently are.
