    An idiot judge in California wrote an even more idiotic 94 page opinion striking down California's ban on AR-15's comparing rifles to knives and seat belts. This is all SCALIA'S fault. The tone, lack of substance, dismissive stance. All of it.

    Here’s the maximally cynical take on Facebook’s Trump-suspended-until-Jan-2023 decision. Basically, FB is setting itself up to bend with the political winds. FB waited to ban him until it was clear that Dems would chair Senate committees (GA Senate races were January 5th). (1/x)

    I called a Black candidate we rejected and told them not to ever use that person as a reference again and I will commit to doing this for the rest of my life. 🤷🏿‍♀️

    would love to have a new sofa that I might subsequently die on within 6 months.

    An art and furniture store in Pittsfield, Massachusetts is offering customers who are vaccinated 10% off—and upping that to 60% off for those who refused the shot.

    so...given news reports over the past few days, are we to conclude that the DOJ is covering up some really bad shit T and friends did?

    Administration officials are offering a new excuse for fighting release of Trump's tax returns and the DOJ memo on Trump obstruction: We must restore normalcy. This is a terrible excuse: Normalcy without accountability isn't worthy of the name. New piece:

    My Tío spent 17 years in prison for a three strikes marijuana charge and then they deported him. He wasn’t allowed to come to my Abuela’s burial.
