are you sure it was written by a clerk? the justices all talk in interviews/etc as if they wrote them themselves. also to be clear, the dissent was only on the grants of immunity. they agreed with the majority in that personal acts can be prosecuted on a personal level.
if that was their intent, that ruling was exceptionally sloppily written. (i read it in full when it cane out btw.) at least they very clearly and explicitly left the question of immunity for lower courts to decide on many counts. they also affirmed much of the obvious non-official-act indictments.
like, what use is this kind of instruction when it's all just random guessing sure, "official acts" vs personal endeavors are different, and juries can usually find the difference. but the line between them is exceptionally gray, and jan 6 lands squarely in that gray area.
my criticism of the ruling isn't "omg trump's immune" (the ruling never said that), but that it was basically "we have goalposts" and only vaguely gesturing at where the goalposts actually were it's okay to name categories, but they should've at least given hypothetical examples of each
This prompted me to see what my credit card’s app provides in the way of notifications. They were all off by default, a puzzling decision by AmEx. I turned on several. I wish I’d done this years ago.

sadly not all banks support this 😞
It REALLY may not seem like it today, but the planet really does have a lot more shared norms around human rights and international law today than it did 100 years ago. Like, to a stunning degree.
tbf the feds have publicly elected officials to answer to, be it the president pushing them to be honest or congress members giving them a very awkward time for trying to skirt around required disclosures. and there's certainly tons of precedent for both
no like actually don't put cotton swabs in your ears. prefer an ear lobe instead that you can physically flush your ear out with. you'll save yourself a lot of pain later. bsky.app/profile/dead...
