I … worked on this story for a year and she just … said it from the bench
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Xinis comes in hot this morning after DOJ fails to produce the ICE detainer to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia locked up.

She won't take DOJ's word for it that it exists.

"You have taken the presumption of regularity and you’ve destroyed it in my view," she says.

You can argue that most of it is harmless. But these "alt" accounts are feeding into some potentially dangerous stuff when they tell everyone to get out their secret decoder ring.

The numbers they send out don't mean anything. They're grifters selling merch by pretending to send out secret coded messages.
I’ve no clue what it all means.

Let’s realize that both parties, when in power, have approved original Medicare and MA plans that enrich insurance companies at the expense of patients. Both parties let the HC industry get so opague, no one has a clue how the much care truly costs. Including most hospitals.
Americans can and should demand better from Congress on Medicare. People are seriously struggling during their peak earning years so the expectation should be that the American healthcare would be kicking their asses when their incomes drop by 60-80%. The GOP has already told us to drop dead.

Someone who apparently follows me here on Bluesky is very, very, very mad at me in the comments on Techdirt because I have suggested that fixing society is a long, difficult process with no easy answers, and they say we don't have time for that.

I say: pining for magic wands will make things worse

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care.

It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors
Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession
One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

Big facts unfortunately.
After months, I remain unconvinced by this theory. That DHS is acting extremely unprofessionally is not evidence of secret J6ers. Rather, I believe it reflects longstanding culture problems within ICE, a chaotic multi-agency approach to raids, the corroding effects of quotas, and Miller’s extremism.
We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Again, I think this will increase Mike Lee’s popularity, not decrease it. Trumpists want a swaggering, bullying douche.
The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”
Deseret News condemns Lee’s posts about Minnesota shooting
The editorial board of the Utah-based publication said the Utah senator cast a “poor light”’ on the Beehive State.

Thankful to my mutuals who made sure I got off my seat in the dunk tank and gave me a warning about the account I was following.

I appreciate you guys.
The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers.

This thread will dive into its activity.

Bluesky is full of agitated people giving advice that will get you killed or might, MIGHT, result in your acquittal after the complete destruction of your life.

Real life ain’t a flame war, kids.
If they are NOT IDENTIED as police officers, you are free to use deadly force to resist. You do not have to stop until the identify themselves. Breanna Taylor case in point.
That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.”

A plea to journalists who insist on posting screenshots of court documents without including links: Please at least include the case number (at the top) rather than cropping it out so the rest of us have an easier time digging up the link that you inexcusably failed to provide?
