Hey Wisconsin! A pretty bad bill passed the House and is now being considered in the Senate. WI-AB961 would require bookselling websites to put warning labels on books whose content is considered to meet certain arbitrary criteria. The American Booksellers Association has created a resource to help
๐ ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.
The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
No, I'm Brian! (And so's my wife.)

I adore this story
If anyone needs a cautionary tale for why confirming the case names exist and aren't red-flagged IS NOT sufficient cite-checking, this one is a doozy:
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Mezhibuzh, where we lay our scene...
No one likes to think about estate planning, but that, a living will, are important things.
Everyone shut up. Passover is in three weeks. We don't have time for this nonsense.
Wanted to add two points: Of the 23 plaintiffs or declarants whom Judge Tostrud found DHS to have unconstitutionally stopped &, in many cases, detained in MN over a 1 month period, at least 17 were US citizens; 4 held green cards; 1 had a U-visa.

Not vegan, but I had a childhood allergy to cow's milk (not lactose--that would have been easier) and Dad's been a vegetarian since the late 70s. I have seen culinary horrors beyond my children's comprehension.
"Pre-industrial farming was just hobby gardening eight hours a day and then relaxing at night; thus modernity has robbed you" really does sum up the worldview of these types.
I have never worked a day on a farm, but I have enough farmers in my recent ancestry to know better than to romanticize manual labor.
It means he specializes in off-speed pitches that don't go where the batter expects, rather than relying on speed to be unhittable.
(And frankly, I'm with him on the stupidity of the rule.)
My son's school now requires students to email their parents about their grades every few weeks, so I just received a terse masterpiece of teenage snark in my inbox reassuring me that I can now stop checking the parent portal every three hours to worry about his straight As.
I love this kid.
Hell, even Wisconsin is a 4.5 hour drive across east to west (north to south is even longer) and we're only the 23rd largest state.
OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war
So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they donโt like it, they can remove the money? Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesnโt have to get permission. But yes, you can debate, you can decide. Thatโs his choice in how he wants to do it. I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: โThe Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.โ
Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement

The Talmud has the original "yo mama" joke. (Megillah 25b:9)
I must once again point out that one group of stupid people thought that the guy who uses โPalestinianโ as an epithet to refer to a Jewish person he deems insufficiently loyal to Israel would help Palestinians, while a different group of stupid people donโt think the same guy is an anti-Semite.
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.
there are so many pending lawsuits against this administration it's kind of beyond belief
Someone got mad at me for calling "Israeli Arabs" what they actually overwhelmingly are (Palestinian citizens of Israel) and for saying that the vast majority of them don't have access to a public bomb shelter in Israel.
Both are true, sorry, and the NYT is finally allowing it to be talked about.
Counterpoint, John: there is literally nothing Israel can do that would make it okay to shoot up your local synagogue.
I'd seen speculation she was out, but it's lovely to finally have it confirmed!
Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasnโt already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
Weโre still murdering people in โdrug boatsโ even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
