We should really work together, hand and hand, to focus all of our community’s poorly-suppressed and totally ruthless bullying energy on the single demographic we all agree actually deserves it: Harry Potter Adults in the year of our lord 2026

It would fucking rock if people started putting "no cops, no fascists, no harry potter fans" in their dating bios. "Potter is for fucking losers" needs to be widely broadcast to straight normies.

A couple key point made in this brief: - The new EO sweeps more broadly than the old EO and thus violates binding court orders barring that order from going into effect. - The new EO lacks any of the temporal limits of the old order and would seem to apply even to people who are currently citizens.

This new Order violates the Court’s existing preliminary injunction, as it purports to strip birthright citizenship from members of the provisionally certified class despite the Supreme Court’s recent decision. To avoid any doubt in this regard, the Court should underscore that the government may not strip away class members’ citizenship through any executive orders or other similarly flawed assertions of Executive power over birthright citizenship. Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court now clarify that its preliminary injunction currently forbids any denial or infringement of class members’ constitutionally guaranteed citizenship or, in the alternative, modify its injunction or issue a new preliminary injunction to explicitly so provide. The new Order does not explain its relationship to the original birthright citizenship order. It does not, for example, rescind and replace that order, which appears to remain in effect (that is, enforceable but for the injunctions issued by this and other Courts). Notably, the new Order appears to lack several key limitations present in the original order. For example, the original order specified that it would “apply only to persons who are born within the United States after 30 days from the date of this order.” EO1 § 2(b). The new Order contains no such language. Likewise, the original order expressly stated that it would not impair the citizenship of “children of lawful permanent residents.” EO1 § 2(c). Again, the new Order says nothing like that. Indeed, standing alone the new Order would appear to apply to people who have lived their entire lives as citizens, potentially going back generations; to children of permanent residents; and even to naturalized citizens (for example a naturalized citizen whose parent was employed by an embassy).

BREAKING: The plaintiffs in two of the challenges to Trump's Jan 20, 2025 effort to end birthright citizenship (CASA and Barbara) went back to court today over Trump's new August executive order seeking to limit birthright citizenship.

12. Based on these various aspects of the August 2026 Executive Order's text, it may be interpreted to immediately deny citizenship to members of the certified class, without regard to this Court's class-wide injunction. The Court should therefore lift the stay of proceedings and order an immediate status conference to seek clarity from Defendants on the meaning of the August 2026 Executive Order and its potential impact on the certified class. 13. In addition, it is unclear whether the August 2026 Executive Order rescinds the January 2025 Executive Order, or whether the latter would remain operative but for the preliminary injunctions barring its enforcement. 14. On August 7, 2026, Plaintiffs asked Defendants to provide clarity on the issues outlined above related to the scope of the August 2026 Executive Order. Plaintiffs advised Defendants that if they could not provide clarity, Plaintiffs would move the Court to lift the stay and to set a status conference to discuss these issues, and Plaintiffs asked Defendants' counsel for their position on such a motion. On August 10, 2026, counsel for Defendants replied and said that they could "confirm that the new EO operates only prospectively and is not effective until guidance is issued," and that they "therefore think it is premature to approach the court at this time." Counsel did not provide any statement directly from Defendants to substantiate this assurance, nor did Counsel respond to the other questions Plaintiffs posed.

Insanity. They've terminated contracts with the groups who have represented migrant kids for years and awarded them to shady, far-right groups with no experience with these cases and who are more likely to use the kids as props. Disgraceful.

Trump just gave a massive contract to Our Rescue to represent unaccompanied immigrant children. That's the group that does international anti-sex-trafficking stings, whose founder was dramatized in Sound of Freedom and who left because he himself was accused of sex trafficking his own employees.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Gen AI might be YOUR new normal. But its not normal. The desire to minimize/erase critical thinking from our daily lives is dangerous. It’s intentional because people who don’t think for themselves are easier to manipulate and control. Its going to fuck with human evolution fr.

As we dug into a little-known church, we started to see a pattern: women describing similar abuse; a preacher who knew what was going on. And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened. Listen to this episode of "Paper Trail":

The Church That Told Sexually Abused Children to “Forgive and Forget”

A man was convicted of abusing young girls in his church. Preachers had known the allegations for years. So why didn’t they report him to the police?

If you're starting Ted Lasso Season 4, here's the backstory of the Kansas City stadium in the first episode. Forty banks refused to finance it. They didn't believe a women's team could generate enough revenue to pay for it. It's sold out every game. www.wsj.com/sports/socce...

No One Wanted to Finance Their Stadium. Now Every Game Is a Sellout.

Building a professional women’s soccer venue was seen as brash. Now the Kansas City Current’s is a blueprint for others.
