IANAL but the fact that a lawyer with no experience in the area can beat federal lawyers repeatedly suggests DHS has operated way outside their authority. Right?
I had the same reaction initially but read the article. She asked for this to happen and created a new role for herself still at Bluesky, and has a say in who replaces her. I donβt think this is necessarily an indicator of pending enshittification.
"Venture capitalist" was all I needed to read to know where this is heading. Good-bye Bluesky.
"Venture capital", even temporarily, **ALWAYS** means outsiders put money in, and when outsiders put money in, outsiders want to get more money back than they put in. The only way to do that is by enshittification - ads, subscriptions to stop ad, paid gamification, "credits", "rewards". You'll see.
BREAKING: Graber is out as CEO of Blueksy.

Based on the foregoing, and on all the files, records, and proceedings in this case, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Petitioner REDACTEDβs Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 1) is GRANTED.
ANOTHER ONE
(same judge, 95 minutes later)
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
i'm watching Fox News where right now air raid sirens are blaring in Tel Aviv and the Fox correspondent is about ready to duck for cover. doesn't seem very over!
Is it possible to assign a single horror to a leader of the Democratic Party, and have them unrelentingly hammer at it? AOC, Hakeem. Pete, Hillary. Kamala etc. One gets Iran, one gets ICE, ballroom, tariffs, Epstein etc.They are overwhelming us. Let's overwhelm them.

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
Anyone else tired of being forced to find out when they did not fuck around?
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Colorful and Spring-like πΊ πΌ
People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.
Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat
It's wildly disrespectful for the president to be wearing a baseball cap in this situation.
Some thought a press conference in a brown suit was undignified for a POTUS, you would think this would be a red-line moment for them.
He canβt even present himself with dignity before death. He is so filled with evil.
The baseball cap at the dignified transfer of killed service members is a bit small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but it's such bullshit disregard for military traditions and disrespectful.
This veteran is angry about it.
Although I am a confident
and self-affirming kind of guy,
there are times I need a compliment
so bad that I ache inside.
I donβt think I am the only one -
so I try to compliment other folks
whenever I can.
They may be aching too.
βOld and new New Yorkβ, by Alfred Stieglitz, 1910.
Another horrific and transparent use of the passive voice. You canβt write a headline this bad unless itβs on purpose. It takes too much effort.
Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.
Iβm currently writing a book about whatβs really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.
Suffice it to say, this ainβt it:
cops are notoriously dismissive of women who report domestic violence, possibly because their sympathies lie with the perpetrators

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itβs good sheβs gone.
But this doesnβt change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
#AbolishICE #AbolishCBP
Good.
Noem egged ICE on as they arrested innocent children, violated Minnesotansβ rights, and harassed entire communities. She smeared Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Iβm glad sheβs going but the problem isnβt going away with her. My eye is still on the ball and Iβm going to keep fighting for justice.
