Before she was a judge, Dugan worked as a poverty attorney and executive director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

well there’s her original sin! not defending the the powerful against the unwashed hordes.

❤️,seriously.

not disagreeing with you - I find performative “wrestle drama” absolutely, mind numbingly pointless. my preference is to participate in (and ocassionally watch) unscripted combat sport.

however… I have trained competitive martial arts for decades (muay thai, bjj, others) and most of these “wrestling” participants are pretty skilled athletes. it takes training to turn combinations of techniques designed to injure into something reasonably harmless. there is a pretty fine line separating sparring from a fight.

I know you know this, but its still useful to remember that these players are actors as well as athletes and that can obviously be pretty inviting for a lot of viewers.

in typical trump fashion - take a dump on the desk and walk out of the room. shart of the deal!

Hell yeah, I fucking nailed it

big oooof on the j-dawg and his tree.

but seriously, nice bit of ackchyually here.

the man has 10,000 alibis in every us state and territory. sounds like reasonable doubt to me.

he brings live shakespearean actor mojo to the small screen and makes zero fucking apologies for it. its like watching a honda civic do a quarter mile with a corvette engine.

best. captain. eva.

great answer. thanks so much.

I am glad you picked this one out. the court is throwing down the gauntlet on who gets essential non-citizen constitutional protections. residents means everyone, y’all (or at least something meaningfully close).

such a beautiful judicial middle finger to the executive. want some joy in your life right now? read this order. seriously.

thank you for linking this. I hope it stays or finds another home.

100%

anything that creates emotional space enough for people to gather, contemplate and talk is a good thing. we need people willing to see and say that “none of this is ok”.

if they end up marching in the streets, great! but I will be happy with them simply taking to their prayer group and repeating that “none of this is ok”.

edit: humanity, apathy, stupidity and hate are powerful things, but when apathy falls away I believe humanity can bend the majority toward our better proclivities, even through the stupidity and hate.

there is a shift happening. things are bleak af for a while then, suddently all at once, something breaks. a us senator getting off his ass and getting proof of life on his constituent gives me, and I think many others, fire to keep on. these fascist fuckers are not inevitable.

fixing this absolute clusterfuck is going to take time and warm bodies on the streets and lawyers in courts in front of judges that uphold the constitution and members of Congress that tell the truth and a million acts of defiance across the country. its been happening and its getting bigger.

this thread is gaddamn gold! thank you, friends.

carr does know that the “easy button” the EU is about to press was made in china, right?

MAVA? MEVA? MOVA?

edit: I suppose the NSA want those juicy 0-days to stay 0-days and all to themselves.

lets not forget Greenland. if you ever wondered what NATO on NATO violence might look like, boy do I have a timeline for you!

just gonna point out that there is a fair amount of right wing, Hawley-esque batshit insanity in this video (my ivermectin beliefs are as good as your reviewed and reproducible research) - but on the important point (meta is globally dangerous and zuckerberg is pathologically sociopathic), I can agree.

…from my cold, dead hand. no lie.

look at this social climber here!
