Judge Benitez has retired. Thank you for all the work you have done for our rights! "There is only one policy enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Guns and ammunition in the hands of criminals, tyrants and terrorists are dangerous; guns in the hands of law abiding responsible citizens are necessary. To give full life to the core right of self defense, every law-abiding responsible individual citizen has a constitutionally protected right to keep and bear firearms commonly owned and kept for lawful purposes. " - Judge Benitez

Former Congressman @justinamash & Congressman @RepThomasMassie describe how some representatives in Congress don't write their own bills even though their name is on the bill. "This is my bill?" "Well... if this weren't my bill I'd probably vote against it too". "They told me I could get re-elected if I got this bill passed with my name on it."

Now I'm going to be even more angry if SCOTUS fails us in Duncan. Judge Benitez deserves vindication!

Wow. Judge Benitez stood up for the Second Amendment rights of Californians at a time when so few judges, especially those within the Ninth Circuit, were willing to do so. So many Californians have our "Freedom Week" magazines because of him. That 2019 Duncan ruling is literally what inspired me to pursue this career in the first place. I hope he enjoys a well-earned retirement. We'll absolutely miss him. And in the event Duncan is granted cert and reversed by the Supreme Court, it's a shame he won't get to hammer California one more time on a fee motion!

“The right to keep and bear arms was understood by the Framers as an indispensable safeguard of liberty, not a privilege to be rationed.”(McDonald v. Chicago, 2010, Concurring Opinion)

Just for the record. We have two war parties.

If there are 50 people who want to see the neurosurgeon but he only has 10 appointments available, how does one guarantee that right to healthcare?

Harvard has a $60 billion endowment, but pays roughly $50 million in taxes a year because they are subject to only a 1.4% tax on net investment income. Odd that Warren never argues that they should pay more.

If Kamala was in office this war would be proceeding exactly as Israel wants. Shumer would be taking the Lindsay Graham role. CNN and Fox would be somberly saying “it had to be done”. MAGA influencers would be sputtering in anger about her violating the Constitution and Democrats would be calling her bold and decisive.

Turns out ignorance of the law IS an excuse....but only if you are enforcing said law, not if you are accidentally violating it. Cool!

La France ne laissera pas l’histoire s’écrire sans elle.

Parabéns à família Moraes pela imensa fortuna que acumularam em um período de tempo tão curto! Quando se tem o maior advogado do mundo (cuja grandeza as pessoas só descobriram depois que o Xandão chegou ao STF), isso é muito merecido e nem um pouco corrupto.🤑

🚨 The White House has created an FBI-led "NPSM-7 Joint Mission Center" dedicated to “proactively” hunting Americans suspected of domestic terrorism kenklippenstein.com/p/fbis-new-pol…

They could create even more jobs by using spoons instead of excavators.

@AlexNowrasteh @chiproytx A better baseball team in Boston?

@chiproytx What does this video make you want to fight for, exactly?

To be great again, we all have to fight for it. Without apology.

Tu viens de résumer la théorie de la valeur-travail de Marx. Je vais t’expliquer pourquoi elle a été réfutée il y a 130 ans, sans méchanceté. L’idée que la valeur vient du travail a un problème fondamental. Si je passe 400 heures à construire une chaise moche que personne veut acheter, elle vaut pas plus qu’une chaise construite en 2 heures que tout le monde s’arrache. La valeur ne vient pas du temps passé. Elle vient de ce que quelqu’un est prêt à payer. C’est la révolution marginaliste de 1871 (Menger, Jevons, Walras), confirmée par Böhm-Bawerk en 1896 qui a formellement démoli la théorie valeur-travail. C’est pas un débat ouvert. C’est réglé depuis plus d’un siècle dans la littérature économique. Maintenant “le propriétaire extorque la plus-value”. Extorquer implique une contrainte. Or un contrat de travail est volontaire. Personne te force à signer. Tu peux partir demain. Tu peux monter ta propre boîte. Tu peux devenir freelance. Et surtout, le propriétaire ne “prend” rien. Il prend un risque. Il avance le capital. Il paie les salaires AVANT que le produit soit vendu. Si la boîte fait faillite, le salarié touche son chômage. Le propriétaire perd tout. Ses économies, son temps, parfois sa maison. La “plus-value” que tu décris, c’est la rémunération de ce risque. Sans quelqu’un pour avancer le capital et organiser la production, le travailleur produit rien du tout. Demande à n’importe quel freelance : le plus dur c’est pas de faire le travail, c’est de trouver le client et de structurer l’offre. Dernier point. Si le travail seul produisait la richesse, les pays avec le plus de travailleurs seraient les plus riches. L’Inde et le Bangladesh auraient un PIB par habitant supérieur à la Suisse. C’est évidemment pas le cas. Ce qui fait la différence c’est le capital, l’innovation, l’organisation, et les institutions. Je te dis ça sans animosité. La théorie valeur-travail est séduisante parce qu’elle est simple et qu’elle a un héros (le travailleur) et un méchant (le patron). Mais la réalité économique est plus nuancée que ça.

Housing is not a human right. Evictions are most certainly not “policy violence.” And staying in an apartment you rented without paying your rent until you’re forcefully evicted should be a crime.

Hey, whoever is running the thie account, I need you to knock this shit off. Stop nostalgiaposting for the bygone days of indiscriminate drone strikes and persecuting whistleblowers that paved the way for the exact moment we are in. FFS, one of the last things Obama did was expand the surveillance powers of the presidency literally days before Trump was sworn in. Stop pretending it was bunny rabbits and rainbows and get real about the fascist threat we're facing now.

Le niveau d’ingérence et d’infantilisation que les Français acceptent dans leur vie quotidienne, ainsi que la complexité qui en découle, sont absolument grotesques. Rien ne l’illustre mieux que ce délire qui consiste à verser une partie des salaires en tickets trucs, chèques machins et comptes à la con, au lieu de simplement laisser les gens dépenser librement leur salaire net.

The FAA quietly imposed a nationwide drone restriction that prevents filming ICE and other federal agents within half a mile. It’s an attack on the First Amendment. eff.org/deeplinks/2026…
