“ #SCOTUS cleared the way on Tuesday for #Trump administration to resume carrying out mass job cuts and the restructuring of agencies, elements of his campaign to downsize and reshape the federal government.” - reuters.com/legal/litigation/u…
I'm old enough to remember the SCOTUS saying Biden didn't have power to waive student debt, despite explicit legislation to do just that.
Yet Trump can mass fire civil servants, shut down Congressionally mandated bodies and send refugees to dangerous third countries without any due process.

Programming a computer is not weird or abstract or even that difficult. It's just writing a list of steps in a format your machine can understand. In theory, a human being could also "execute" a program as well if they understood how it worked.
And computers are just electronic circuits that are designed to execute stored programs. Programming is the original way to use a computer.

“Studies show actually deporting workers en masse from industries that rely on undocumented labor does little for U.S. workers … [and] actually reduces job opportunities for American-born workers.
That’s in part because many American workers, even those outside of immigrant-heavy industries, rely on the services generated by low-wage, undocumented labor — the costs of which would rise with mass deportations.”

Folks here will notice that I’m less frequently detailing lower court opinions that attempt to stop the Trump regime’s lawless actions. This is because enough time has passed for enough appeals to reach the U.S. Supreme Court for U.S. to know that no matter how carefully a lower court judge explains and supports her rulings, the Supreme Court will act as lawlessly as the Trump executive. 1/ #LawFedi
From the outset, we knew that certain justices were wholly and irrevocably in the tank for Trump. I put Robert’s very close to this camp but thought his desire to preserve his standing with federal district court judges and lower federal appellate judges *might* temper the fealty he displayed when he wrote the majority opinion in the ignominious Trump v. United States. 3/
Had Roberts more commitment to rule of law and less regard for Republican Fascism, he might have been able to peel off Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett occasionally and get them to vote with Sotomayor and Jackson and sometimes Kagan. But it is clear that he has no interest in this role and the other far right justices definitely don’t. 4/
I know that brave lower court judges will continue to write well-reasoned important memoranda in support of their correct and significant decisions. I will continue to commend their efforts and sometimes explain them. But for all their skill and integrity, they won’t be able to prevent the worst effect of the Supreme Court’s perfidy: plaintiffs’ lawyers will stop bringing cases they clearly will lose on appeal. 5/
The lawyers who represent the plaintiffs in the cases against the Trump regime do not have the funds or the staff to litigate every instance of the regime’s lawlessness. They also do not want to litigate cases that will only serve to give the Supreme Court the chance to hand down a lawless diktat as though it should be treated as precedent. 6/
So most plaintiffs’ lawyers will become ever more selective and careful in who they represent and the issues they put before the courts. This is natural and understandable. But it is also frightening. The actions of the U.S. Supreme Court play a direct role in sharply increasing the prospect of a hot civil war in the United States. 7/
this is a bit surprising take to me, because it seems to ignore what this non-lawyer considers the biggest guard rail on the Supreme Court:
Time itself
As you know SCOTUS only takes up 2% of merits cases in any given year, because they cannot afford to take more. That means they don't rule on most questions at all
For every case I've seen get headlines from the Shadow docket, I've found another where they just denied review even though the administration lost
and as you know this has always been the power of the appellate circuits -- if not the reason for the US' continued existence, IMO. They are the final word and may split
And that means they will decide how even shitty policies of the administration occur in practice, due to most in their jurisdiction following the law regardless
I just hope you don't despair. I remember Prohibition was added to USCON in 1917, & SCOTUS ruled in 1926 wire taps w/o warrant were fine. Now look
I have honestly given up completely on this adminstration. I just expect the worse possible outcome now. I am so dissapointed what is going on with our legal system
It is pretty damning when #SCOTUS Chief #JohnRoberts is actively working to dismantle and destroy our Country, with the assistance of Sam Alito. Forget Benadict Arnold! John Roberts is going to go down in History as the greatest #traitor to our Country.

Why doesn't Trump's DOJ drop the charges against the Utah plastic surgeon who gave his fellow Americans a way of maintaining their bodily autonomy during a time of tyranny?
@Valvoline I get the preference against discussing salary, but everything else should be on the table. The candidate is interviewing the company just as much as vice versa, so some information before accepting a second interview or offer is required.
I would certainly ask about the job scope and what kind of awesome projects they have to look forward to.
@Meachamus_Prime @Valvoline Um, that kind of response is immediately a burn this opportunity to the waterline statement. That's what I call, a bullshit statement from a company that's not serious about their business. People are the most important asset you have, and we all have basic needs we need to cover. Businesses exist to make a profit or they don't exist tomorrow. Whatever it is this company is chasing, sounds like slavery to me. Best to know sooner than later and cut it quick.
@Killer_Mule @Meachamus_Prime absolutely true.. However, new managers are a nightmare. It takes time and experience to get good at hiring and managing, like any skill. This seems like someone new.

These guys have a pretty good take on recent history and military operations and politics. A lot of things come to proxy wars between US and Russia/China, and while I can understand US animosity towards China, although even a lot of that I think initially was based upon fear, we feared communism would take over all of Asia even though we knew historically it always fails, and even today China has adopted a strong bit of capitalism in their economic system. So we had the proxy war in Viet Nam and Laos over this fear. I do not understand why we do not get along with Russia, after all our people are both largely Caucasian, our languages have most of the same vowels and consonants and are not that dissimilar, and in modern times our culture isn't even huge different. We both have major oil interests, and so there is competition there, but there could be cooperation and I think it would benefit both countries and the world at large. Given that we, Russia and the USA, were allies during WWII, I am not clear on how we became enemies.

I'm watching with amazement at a decent portion of the Right self destructing over Epstein. The Best President since ( to me) Jefferson. And they're willing to destroy this Presidency over something this Stupid.
Quite frankly, Epstein is fertilizer, Virginia, God rest her soul, is no longer able to tell her story, and Ghislaine is old news and dead meat, so I don't give a crap about the Epstein list or his excuses from Epstein's Mother. All I care about is getting these Democrat rioters off of ICE's back, getting these illegals to the hellholes where they belong, because they aren't worth the time and money wasted on their asses, and getting the rioters two choices: prison or the
@SpiceOfOurLife @karnage I can think of a few reasons why no Epstein list. 1. There is no formal list but those involved are known. 2. Legal actions are being taken right now and any list or names cannot be released. 3..We knowl what happened but nothing further can be gained. 4. Clinton, Obama and others are involved but the fallout would derail more important actions by Trump, so let it sit for a later time.

The Zionist Interior Minister, Moshe Arbel, has banned anti-Zionist Rabbi Yisroel [Dovid] Weiss from entering occupied Palestine just hours after a meeting between the rabbi and Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi. During the meeting, Rabbi Weiss conveyed a message of solidarity with the people of Iran in light of recent Israeli military aggression against the country. He also expressed the stance of the Jewish opposition to Zionism and its crimes.
This move by the Israeli government reflects its growing intolerance toward dissenting voices, particularly those who publicly criticize its policies or engage with nations considered adversaries.
In response to the ban imposed upon him, Rabbi Weiss issued a powerful statement:
“Advocating for peace should not be a crime. However, in the Zionist entity, it clearly is—because Zionism thrives on war and conflict. Its very existence goes against the will of God. It depends on occupation, murder, and crimes.”
He continued, “I do not expect permission from the Zionists to enter Palestine. Thieves do not get to decide who enters stolen property. I have never visited the Zionist entity, nor do I plan to visit occupied Palestine as long as it remains under Zionist control.”
He added: “In the past, I visited Gaza for humanitarian reasons, entering through Rafah. I am prepared to visit a liberated Palestine in the future—with permission from its legitimate Palestinian government.”
Report: Israeli minister Katz wants to confine ~2m Gazans in a "secure zone" in Rafah, where they'd "temporarily reside, deradicalize, re-integrate" & prepare to "voluntarily emigrate” to other countries.
Katz wants "international bodies" to run the camp, but, given the obvious intent to annex Gaza, they're unlikely to cooperate.
Canada, Germany, Ireland, Finland, and a bunch of other Countries could escort a ship to #Gaza right now. A ship carrying #aid. And they will get through and they will send the loudest message so far denouncing what #Israel is doing. No way in hell Israel is going to attack a European or NATO member protecting and escorting an aid ship. No chance. But not one single Country will do that. Why? This is a question that needs to be asked, and answered. Why won't any other Country on the planet stand up for Gaza? @israel@a.gup.pe @palestine@a.gup.pe @gaza@a.gup.pe

Analysis: "In conditions like the conditions the Palestinian people in Gaza face today, the concept of free choice is a lie."
“Israel has no right even to be in Gaza or in the West Bank.. everything Israel does there.. is also illegal, including in implementing any of these plans for forced displacement whether within or outside of Gaza."
I brought down costs more than any President in recorded history. The Crooked Democrats are using the opposite narrative, even though they know it is a total LIE. Remember this when you hear their phony soundbites. MAGA!!!
$150 billion for ICE and border enforcement is a huuuge increase from the original $10 billion budget, even if Trump conceded to a few pork barrel handouts for Congress. I wonder if President Trump had a lot more than that to put leverage on Congress, wink, wink 😉.
@thetnholler.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy Bullshit. Steve Bannon was never "rich" enough (or powerful enough) to be in Epstein's circle let alone in those fucking files. The only reason we're still talking about him today is because he sucked Trump's cock.
