/4 Second: you can file a lawsuit when state or federal law enforcement detains you illegally. However: Congress and the Supreme Court have put many convoluted roadblocks, from qualified immunity to the maze of the Federal Tort Claims Act, between you and justice. But it’s possible and plausible

2026-01-12 23:05:34 UTC

/3 That is likely to be a tiny element of this because (1) most Kavanaugh Stops are for harassment or immigration detention purposes and don’t result in criminal charges and (2) the Fourth Amendment has been dramatically weakened by SCOTUS and such motions are very hard to win.

2026-01-12 23:04:40 UTC

/2 First: people who are Kavanaugh Stopped (that is, detained by law enforcement based on skin color) may, if they are charged with a crime, be able to ask the court to suppress evidence seized as a result of their detention — evidence found on them, for example — for a Fourth Amendment violation.

2026-01-12 15:52:54 UTC

/3 That process will make it easier for this to happen again. So: what to do? Someone who promoted and both-sidesed Nazis in 1946 would face economic and social annihilation outside of extremists circles. How can we inflict that annihilation on the vapid media of now?

2026-01-12 15:50:54 UTC

/2 This will be grotesque. Edward R. Murrow didn’t have a radio show in 1946 where Eisenhower debated Göring about whether the Nazis had some good points. Today’s media would absolutely do that. Today’s media will platform people defending and rewriting Good’s murder for years.

2026-01-10 23:03:51 UTC

It’s a very YOU HATE WAFFLES week on Bluesky.

2026-01-09 19:57:33 UTC

Look, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.

2026-01-09 18:42:23 UTC

/2 There was a broad consensus in 1992 — among people like those likely reading this thread — that the Rodney King video inarguably showed illegal police brutality. The cops were acquitted. LA burned. For multiple reasons the jurors didn’t share that reality or perception.

2026-01-09 15:58:54 UTC

/5 Not everyone can do this to help. But there are lots of things to do. If you want, please respond to this with ideas of how to help: how to defy Trumpism, and support America, by defying evil, by helping the least of us, by looking out for your neighbor (in the Good Samaritan sense). Ideas?

2026-01-09 15:50:52 UTC

/4 Trump and ICE and the rest of the fascist scum can murder and lie and oppress, but they can’t kill that decency that some real Americans have. They don’t have it, they are inadequate without it, and it infuriates them. But they can’t kill it.

2026-01-09 15:47:42 UTC

/3 Think about it. Faced with lawless, violent thugs who feel entitled to murder and abuse, and faced with an unimaginably powerful government openly praising and endorsing murder and lying to justify it, these people are still showing up, often for people they don’t even know.

2026-01-09 15:46:19 UTC

/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

2026-01-09 02:23:54 UTC

/9 Anyway, a substantial project of the Right is to make it dangerous, expensive, and ideally illegal to speak the truth about them. Don’t give up an inch of ground.

2026-01-09 02:13:00 UTC

/3 Hence, neither “Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good” nor “Ashli Babbitt was murdered” is defamatory, because those are based on your interpretation of disclosed facts — like videotaped events. You’re giving your interpretation — your OPINION — of the disclosed fact.

2026-01-08 02:06:29 UTC

Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way

2026-01-07 20:21:10 UTC

Escalation to watch for: civil and criminal threats against people calling the ICE murder a murder, especially state and local officials and members of Congress. The regime must constantly escalate.

2026-01-07 16:44:43 UTC

The Democratic leadership of this country would walk out of the Wannsee Conference saying “I’m concerned this isn’t focused enough on the economy”

2026-01-06 03:36:12 UTC

I don’t use blocklists but if someone would make one listing every pointless shitbird who piled on Parker Malloy and made her leave, I would subscribe.

2025-12-30 00:31:37 UTC

Anyone else have a shower door just spontaneously absolutely explode into pieces? Fortunately nobody was there.

2025-12-22 17:21:04 UTC

As is the case with Musk, and even Trump, the most grotesque part is not their existence — awful people have always been around and always will be. The most grotesque part is nominally smart or honest or decent people taken in by them. Or, at least, pretending to be taken in, for advantage.

2025-12-22 05:01:24 UTC

60 Minutes, dead at 57. The murder weapon was Bari Weiss.

2025-12-16 22:31:50 UTC

/2 Also, if there were a law making it illegal to make someone irritable by saying stupid things, I maintain that only Imran Ahmed, and not Bluesky, should be liable for that post.

2025-12-16 22:24:29 UTC

Confidential to N.S.: live so that you never feel compelled to write a snide, defensive, multi-paragraph explanation of what an analogy is in order to refute people saying you’re a dipshit.

2025-12-11 18:20:17 UTC

I take more than my share of shots at Quinn Emanuel but they have done great and difficult work, at substantial risk to the firm, for Abrego Garcia. Sincere thanks and respect.

2025-11-29 18:06:10 UTC

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

2025-11-27 17:36:32 UTC

Fani Willis is an excellent illustration of the concept that MOST Americans are super-deferential to prosecutors to the point of ignoring their bad behavior, so long as the prosecutors are going after someone the Americans in question don’t like.

2025-11-27 02:08:24 UTC

Nuzzi is like Trump in this sense: the worst thing about America is not that someone that awful exists, the worst thing is that much of the press promotes and normalizes it for clicks.

2025-11-24 17:41:22 UTC

There's no such thing as an emergency podcast

2025-11-20 16:47:24 UTC

/8 There is no remotely plausible argument that it’s treason or sedition to point out that the military need not follow illegal orders. It is unquestionably protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

2025-11-19 21:00:39 UTC

/2 Just to be clear, 5th Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith’s dissent is wildly emotionally incontinent and so bizarre it can’t even be called unprofessional. If someone I loved wrote it I would be very worried and investigate dementia.

2025-11-16 01:46:26 UTC

It must be magnificent to be these billionaires and foreign countries, all of whom secretly scorn Trump, giving him lavish but vulgar gifts that he doesn’t understand are elaborate expressions of their contempt for him, his taste, his principles, and his self-awareness.

2025-11-15 23:31:31 UTC

When choosing who should write the email to a stranger seeking free legal representation, identify the person in your group who is an actual adult with at least minimal human communication and interaction capability.

Everyone is dunking on poor Noah Smith for getting lost and frustrated at Heathrow Airport and blaming him, which is victim-blaming and I am quite disappointed in all of you. Put the blame squarely where it belongs: on whoever failed to pin his name and destination to his sweater-vest.

2025-11-11 19:52:54 UTC

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

2025-11-08 03:34:46 UTC

/3 I think this is likely strategy by Justice Jackson -- she likely believes this route (rather than the stay being considered by the whole court) results in the shortest stay. But few will listen to that because of reasons 1-3, and I can't really fault them.

2025-11-08 02:40:38 UTC

This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it.
But most people won't believe that for several good reasons.

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

Kid3 is going to another city for a mock trial tournament with her college team this weekend. Just found out that the hotel they are using is housing an ICE team. She’s got her passport card, which establishes she’s a citizen (since adoption, by law). Hope that’s enough. Fuck ICE scum.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

A few words about “peaceful protests.”
