Artur ManuelNew @psvitaphotography pictures soon. Just finished a trip in Cambridge, and took a myriad of pictures on my PS Vita. Notable destinations include Grand Arcade, Silver Street, and Parkers Peace. While I would have loved to check out more places, my mother (she's the best) wanted to take the coach instead.
Reclaim Allies🔍 Pre-Bunk Alert: "Private Right of Action" as Cover for Bounty Statutes
The technique: statutory-architecture mimicry. Bounty bills borrow civil-rights language but flip direction.
The test: does it let a protected class sue for discrimination — or let the public sue a class for existing?
New response script: "Activist Judges Are Overriding Democracy"
💬 The one-liner:
"That's not activism. That's separation of powers. The president doesn't write federal law — Congress does. A Bush-appointed judge wrote this opinion."
Full script with flip test + three-beat response:

Meanwhile in Kansas: SB 244 has been law for weeks. 500+ trans Kansans carry invalidated driver's licenses. The ACLU hearing is September 29 — five-and-a-half months away.
Today's action: if you're in Kansas, contact ACLU of Kansas about Doe v. State of Kansas impact documentation.

Steven HeywoodA textbook example of exceptionalist Conservative thinking: "I will happily vote for people who promise to do bad things to people like me while assuming it won't happen to me."

Karma's a bitch, to be sure, but it would be better all round if it didn't have to be invoked in the first place.

The technique: doctrinal extension.
How to spot it: "professional speech" applied far from its legal home.
