How are we supposed to tell which groups of unidentified masked men in plain clothes forcing people on the street into unmarked vehicles are law enforcement and which are kidnappers? Asking for a friend.

Insert all legal disclaimers here. All opinions are my own. I have a puppet in my profile picture, which should probably tip you off that nothing said here should be taken as legal advice.
If you are in a same-sex marriage, live in California, and have non-adoptive children with your spouse, California has a streamlined adoption process called a "Stepparent Adoption to Confirm Parentage." This adoption establishes parentage in a way that would survive possible invalidation or non-recognition of the marriage in the future. More information can be found at your favorite LGBTQ+ organization or the courts at: https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/stepparent-adoption-confirm-parentage

The first Trump administration was largely ineffectual because it took everyone (including Trump) by surprise, and checks and balances existed.
This time, there is a plan and an organization in place to execute that plan. With control of the Senate and the SCOTUS, checks and balances no longer exist.
In January they will attack on all fronts and overwhelm our capacity for outrage. It is time for each of us to choose the hill we wish to die upon, and plan to gather to rebuild when this is over.
When drafting a legal brief, what is the correct format when citing the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition?
Like so many others, I worked from home during the worst of the Covid pandemic. After returning to the office to do work that could have easily been done remotely, I'm trying to focus on the positive of #returntowork #returntooffice
If #Threads and #Bluesky join the #fedivese they will bring more content to subscribe to. More content is good. Viewing it without being subjected to their ads and algorithm on Mastodon is also good. The likelihood they will try to use their clout to ruin federated social media for everyone, not so much.
Jacob Schumer“For #Threads to survive, it needs to do this thing I want” — the people #Meta least cares about catering to.
Meta wants Threads to be a mostly vapid, positive, advertising friendly place and will absolutely sacrifice good content to get there. And they are probably right from a business sense.
Which is why I’ll go blue in the face trying to convince people who don’t like Threads or Twitter to use Mastodon. A for-profit free-for-all space will always cater to the most and most profitable.
The fact that #Threads says it will be ad-free for a year, but there is no way to turn off algorithm-suggested posts from people you don't follow tells me that the plan is to turn it into the same ad-invasive hellscape Facebook has become as soon as everyone is hooked.
CoreyWhen Elon blames the woke mob for Twitter's eventual bankruptcy, simply recall everything he personally did to tank the company, including making it impossible for people to read posts.
So, #SCOTUS has ruled in favor of a designer who has never made a wedding website, and has never been asked to make a same-sex wedding website, in challenging an anti-discrimination law that actually wouldn't compel her to ever make any same-sex wedding website designs or any other speech with which she disagreed.
I guess hypothetical cases without a live controversy are okay now.
Seems legit.
