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
@SapphicLawyer It really is the only consistency to be found in the Roberts Court"s decisions these days. I really do miss the days of stare decisis and legal tests that didn't require a Ouija board to consult the ghost of an 18th century slave owner...
@design_law IMO the fact that Nazis don't hang out at the library is a pretty good endorsement of the place.
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.
@wonkothesane @andrew Thanks for the info. Maybe we won't have to wait for #Threads to make itself as infuriating as the Facebook feed. I must admit that I was scarred off when I read the Threads app privacy info (something I am strangely compelled to do everytime I download a new app)- do they REALLY need my health information and browser history?
