Nine months ago. Sigh. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreia3rphsozcdib3t2bulim7iibdx3jepzam4btd6svzqpr2u6gqf44
“You must give your money to people you find abhorrent or we will put you in prison” is a banger of a free speech policy. Fuck these people. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreic2nntz7iu35hfg4ldnggl6en3bbfxcwjgubatkssn2hynowqd4ia
Oh look, the federal courts finally found something a president can’t do. Turns out it’s “be kind, decent, and fair to immigrants.” [www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-d...](
Judge declares Biden immigration program for spouses of U.S. citizens illegal
The ruling is a major defeat for the outgoing Biden administration, which argued the policy promoted family unity among mixed-status households.

Thanks to a $2m donation from Elon Musk and $16m from other megarich donors, Republicans flipped 23 appeals court positions across cities in Texas. GOP won 31 of 32 races, an unprecedented sweep. This does not bode well for criminal defendants in Texas. [news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/t...](

That didn't take long. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreicxiqjo6ntmdbbhncdx5wx7fp7u3aaxzlplf7regbdols42lpttfy
In addition to the vaccine whackjobbery, I’m really worried that RFK Jr. as “health czar” means less availability of antidepressants, ADHD drugs, and other psychiatric drugs in favor of woo. More needless suffering. [www.agencyiq.com/blog/trump-m...](

Biden should commute all federal death sentences. He claims to oppose the death penalty now, the risk of a political backlash is now moot, and it would be a historic, legacy-making move.
Fearing most: - mass deportations, police state required to try it, resulting death/suffering - severe recession or depression from tariffs, deportations, ensuing civil unrest - violence against protesters - weaponization of DOJ, IRS, FCC - “unleashed” cops & vigilantes - Baltics, Poland, Taiwan
Missouri and Arizona voters passed abortion rights measures (as did 57% of FL voters, to no avail), but then voted to give power to the party that overturned Roe and wants a national abortion ban. I guess hating immigrants and trans people is more important.
Fascinating. But this is the path most “heterodox” thinkers take. Their hatred of the left ultimately displaces and distorts whatever allegiance they had to liberalism. The idea that Harris poses a proportionate threat as Trump on on speech, democracy, etc. just isn’t serious. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreibyowhvdatrdm2ds5355tayqvosxn74uf6swich5jwftv2thnhk2a
