Not sure how they can get away with these artistically enhanced photographs of Jupiter. Show us what it'd look like with the naked eye from orbit, not these made up versions.

I think she can make it another four years. Ginsberg actively had cancer when she refused to resign. I think there's a difference here, and she's easily the best member of the court on pretty much every issue.

The problem is it's not clear who could enforce a judgment on him. If DC police tried to arrest him, they wouldn't get through the door. Him being president makes it very difficult, as a practical matter, to actually punish him in any way.

"Underscores the complex relationship" is classic AI slop writing. If I saw that phrase in a student essay I would roll my eyes and open the academic integrity report form.

There's a difference between submissiveness in sex scenarios and submissiveness in the rest of life, though. I don't think wanting the former means somebody has toxic masculinity.

It's worth noting here that the President, as per the supreme Court, is immune from all prosecution if his actions result from the scope of his duties. It would be trivial for Trump to argue that deporting everybody he doesn't like is within the scope of his duties, whether it's lawful or not. That's the unique danger we face right now: a combination of a strong man and a uniquely deferential SCOTUS. It's never happened in American history.

A lot of the people he wants to deport are people claiming asylum because the country they come from is too dangerous to be in. Letting those people stay here while they plead their case is one of our lawful treaty obligations. Rounding them up and summarily deporting them is not enforcing the law it's abrogating the law.

He's talking about deporting millions of illegal immigrants, which will probably require putting them in a camp at least temporarily.

It's remarkable to see people still denying that Trump is a fascist. He tried to use violence to overthrow the government. He's a fascist.

I was just at a labor law conference recently and heard a presentation about all these challenges. While the lawyers representing workers in these cases were optimistic, and overturning the Wagner Act was unlikely, according to them, I'm still worried. Billionaires have limitless pockets for lawsuits against the NLRB.

In the end, if the NLRB ends up unconstitutional, there will be one good thing: we can start general strikes again and shut everything the fuck down.
