One of the defining features of the Starmer government is that it never even tries to justify its policies, it just says what it’s doing.
No justification for Streeting’s ban on blockers and hormones, no justification for Phillipson turning schools into anti-trans conversion therapy centres…
Where’s yer Dow now, Pam Bondi?
Not for nothing, but going to NORTHERN IRELAND to "get away from politics" is such a spectacular self-own that I can't even come up with a satisfactory metaphor
What's going on in Israel re: propaganda, so ppl know:
Was talking to family there this AM & they had TV on. It was reported to me (w/eyeroll) that there was a segment on "what a tough masculine hottie" Hegseth is, "with the tattoos and everything."
"Did they mention the Nazi tattoo?"
"What?!?"
"Sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo
“History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

Jag tror inte det är bra att GDn får prata med media. Det blir alltid konstigt när hon gör det.

Tonårsutvisningarna handlar inte om den strama migrationspolitiken? I själva verket är de en förutsägbar konsekvens av den strama migrationspolitiken ⚠️
And how do I recognise the lit review is overly general and misses lots of stuff? Well because I actually know the literature in my little area of academia, I’m an expert and have developed this skill over many years. GenAI doesn’t know anything it’s just good at pattern recognition.

The White House said on Friday that it would continue to “honour” its “legally binding” trade deals that it has struck with other countries. US trade representative Jamieson Greer told Fox News that Washington expected its trading partners to do the same.
Gotta love the FT's aggressive and proper use of quotation marks
So the Court's decision is not likely to greatly restrict Presidential tariff authority going forward. But the Court's decision is likely to generate other serious practical consequences in the near term. One issue will be refunds. Refunds of billions of dollars would have significant consequences for the U.S. Treasury. The Court says nothing today about whether, and if so how, the Government should go about returning the billions of dollars that it has collected from importers. But that process is likely to be a "mess," as was acknowledged at oral argument. Tr. of Oral Arg. 153-155. A second issue is the decision's effect on the current trade deals. Because IEEPA tariffs have helped facilitate trade deals worth trillions of dollars—including with foreign nations from China to the United Kingdom to Japan, the Court's decision could generate uncertainty regarding various trade agreements. That process, too, could be difficult.
Kavanaugh is attempting to manufacture the legal doctrine of pointus de noreturnis: If the regime’s unlawful actions are too difficult to unwind, we apparently have no choice but to see them through.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.
Jag är ganska säker på att Bengt Ohlson aldrig varit på ett fängelse eller träffat en trettonåring.
Jag är också ganska säker, även om det framstår som omöjligt, att Bengt Ohlson aldrig själv varit tretton år gammal.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
