Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

Another reason Democrats must stop, defund, and ultimately abolish ICE: voter suppression. ICE has forced a significant number of people of color to hide inside their homes. What if ICE patrols just outside key polling places during the midterms?

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

I'm seeing people mistakenly claim the gun photo was posted before today, but its just how Google sometimes dates images based on the original date of the thread its posted in, not when it was posted. The photo was posted an hour ago in this 5 day old thread

Which economy is more productive - Germany or the US? It seems the answer would be clear, but it's not.

The mood in Germany is so deeply negative, even aggressively pessimistic, that I thought we had fallen behind by a lot. But here are the facts - they surprised me as well:

Meine Antwort: Wenn jemand einen Menschen Parasit nennt, meint er auch nicht, dass dieser eine Laus oder ein anderes Insekt sei. Das Wörterbuch des Unmenschen kritisiert ja gerade eine Sprache, die entmenschlicht. So wie Ihre Wortwahl. Menschen sind kein Abfall.

There was a time when lies like this—and make no mistake, it is a lie—would be the end of her career and public life.

We’re in a post-shame world and it’s extremely bad. The breakdown of norms like that has been one of the most enduring legacies of Donald Trump and it will haunt us into the future.

We need to end lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court.

For a court that shapes our rights for generations, concentrating power indefinitely undermines public trust.

I’m backing legislation for 18-year term limits and regular appointments to restore balance and accountability.

Habe das angebliche Bekennerschreiben zum Stromausfall gründlich gelesen. Als jemand, der seit vielen Jahren mit Sprache arbeitet & seit Jahren mit Übersetzungstools, bin ich mir bei einigen Formulierungen ziemlich sicher, dass sie NICHT originär im Deutschen verfasst wurden.

Chances that this judgment will generate an article by some German postdoc who will say that, of course, the Polish Tribunal is badwrong, but CJEU has gone too far in examining a national constitutional court, and heavens forbid it ever does the same with BVerfG: 120%. 10/
