    "Off to SCOTUS and today’s firearm-possession law arguments in U.S. v. Hemani."

    Oh, good

    Now we get to learn just how obsolete any concept of a #WellRegulatedMilitia is, in 2026

    And no, no #MAGA #Ammosexual belongs to a "Well Regulated Militia" just because he was in #ROTC in #HighSchool

    Sorry

    I don't make the rules

    #SCOTUS

    Just going to drop my pinned-post boilerplate from yesterday into this:

    The #SupremeCourt is working exactly as #LeonardLeo and the #FederalistSociety intended

    The mask is off

    All that #Textualism and #Originalism and high-minded-sounding #OriginalIntent schtick was a premeditated #Federalist / #GOP lie

    #SCOTUS is now situational, relative, and expedient in one direction only

    It's far right SCOTUS #ActivistJudges all the way down from here on out

  3. @chrisgrande @marioguzman And yet another sign that something is fundamentally broken at Apple.

    At the very least, I’d expect their #IxD patterns to be consistent across applications. The fact that they are not, and that the differences are so significant, shows they just don't care about Good Design™ anymore.

    It's such a shame, since their own HIG from 1992 — about System 7! — is a #UX design text book in its own right. It's stellar!

    In contrast, today's HIG don't even deserve that name.

  4. Watch this: "Revealed: The Myth of October 7th"

    It's a short video of Chris Gunness, ex Spokesman and Director of Strategic Communications of UNRWA, explaining what has happened in Palestine over many years.

    Also: don't forget that at mid-day today, following the sirens, there's a protest for Gaza in most if not all Dutch city centres. Here in Assen it's at the Koopmansplein.

    #Ohio here. It is disheartening the way the gerrymandered GOP treats us voters. From passing the no special elections, then having a special election to try to strip ballot issues from Ohioans, to now, dismissing the overwhelming will of the voters as it comes to #OhioIssue1 and #OhioIssue2. It's disgusting. #USpol #OhPol

    Seems like the platform in the room that organized this previous issue has cut news sharing ahead of the election as a tactic instead of moderating at scale using the tactics of #enshittification instead.

    Perhaps to casual observers this misfortunately looks like there may be a #MarkXit in the making due to leadership & board room revolt issues instead of a #Brexit part 2 for the $1 a yr foundling as this is the Russian Bot Masters' platform of choice? 🎯

    " $4 billion in aid allotted by Congress will be blocked "for all time.“"

    I saw this explained earlier today, but can't find the source now

    IF $4,000,000,000.00 is "blocked" from being spent, where does it "go"?

    The article I read earlier said that, for all practical purposes, the money is just vanished somewhere inside the Federal government

    It simply doesn't appear in any balance sheet or line item any longer

    ...with their satellite countries (e.g. #Venezuela, #Nicaragua, #Cuba, #Syria, and #Belarus) in the tradtion of the original #AxisPowers of #WWII (chiefly #GermanReich, the Kingdom of #Italy, and the Empire of #Japan).

    The other #AxisOfEvil are the authoritarian rulers having taken control of many far-right or fascist movements in the West and their increasing international cooperation, their ideologies...

  10. @chrisgerhard well duh that was the point even if Nigel doesn't get that's why Putin backs him even now #EndRant #BreExit

  11. @chrisgerhard @rossbright

    Interesting to consider difference between current #kipperTory party & what we might have under #pr

    We'd not have a wide party all the way from cautious supporters of status quo to wilds of #englishNationalism - instead we'd have parliament including smaller parties
    like #reform (nativists), maybe pro-business party and socially conservative party (possibly with an islamic flavour)

    Each smaller party would be more rigidly centred on a core & fight for that core

  12. @chrisgeidner I just read the #ProtectiveOrder. #Trump can't make copies, or take photos with his phone. That might work.
    He isn't supposed to take notes on identifying info. The defense is supposed to ensure he doesn't. But #Trump is cunning. He'll use nicknames that only HE will know!
    Mike #Pence will be C for Coward. #MarkMeadows will be VW for Very Weak. The defense will pretend they can't crack the code.
    I'd look for #TFG memorizing a name & posting the gist of witness testimony.

    It is not #strengthOfFeeling that matters politically - it is numbers; for every militant #proEu voice there is an equally adamant #littleEnglander. What matters is what the rest of the electorate think, not the committed.

    I would also add that fixing the chaos #johnson caused will take way longer and much more pain than he took in smashing our place in Europe in the first place. At present I do not believe an explicit call to #reverseBrexit is an electoral winner

  14. @chrisgeidner Red States are mostly well on the way to being fully #ChristoFascist. Seems likely that even with #DemocraticParty wins in Nov, this nation will continue an unraveling process that began with the #GOP adoption of a #NeoConfederate ideology decades ago.

  15. @chrisg @w7voa

    Anybody bought into #ThirdRome theology to the point of executing on a military strategy which aligns with it is sign of being divorced from reality.
