Judge Beryl Howell of the district court for the District of Columbia, granted law firm Perkins Coie’s motion for summary judgment against the Department of Justice, and issued a permanent injunction against Executive Order 14230, tRump’s directive to cut government contracts with the law firm and their clients as punishment against disfavored expression: diversity hiring efforts and the representation of certain opposing political figures.
The judge said it violates the Constitution’s prohibitions against government officials retaliating against those engaging in protected speech and using their power “to punish or suppress disfavored expression.”
“No American president has ever before issued executive orders like the one at issue in this lawsuit targeting a prominent law firm with adverse actions … but, in purpose and effect, this action draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: ‘The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,'” Judge Howell wrote, quoting rebel leader Jack Cade’s henchman, Dick the Butcher, in “Henry VI, Part 2.”
“Eliminating lawyers as the guardians of the rule of law removes a major impediment to the path to more power,” the judge added. “The importance of independent lawyers to ensuring the American judicial system’s fair and impartial administration of justice has been recognized in this country since its founding era.”
“The fact that Paul Weiss quickly negotiated a deal, including an agreement to provide ‘the equivalent of $40 million’ in free legal work, rather than face the potential injuries of the similar executive order targeting that firm … demonstrates the coercive power of such targeting by the Trump administration,” Judge Howell said.

Here’s the opinion:
Here’s the Order.
TG common sense prevailed here and the judge shut that shit down. I’m sure they will appeal. His party has also been going after judges that disagree with their agenda.
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
I don’t think the Immortal is God, but neither is he “the spawn of Satan.” When I knew him he was basically an ordinary guy with a wry sense of humor. After seeing him in a hat almost every day for 3 years, I asked him why he always wore a hat. He smiled and said, “if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.” I said, “Try me.”
Then he said something like if I forget to stay old, it will show. My hair will turn form gray to less gray until it is no longer gray. I said, “no way.” He said if you don’t believe me watch my eyebrows. You have been my friend for 3 years and you have not noticed that they change from black to gray, less gray, until they are black again.
I was stunned because I hadn’t noticed. Then he said if my head of hair made those changes in a day, everyone would notice. So I wear a hat unless I am sure that I will remember how old I am for the whole day.
From then on I watched his eyebrows. And sure enough they changed from hour to hour. More gray, gray, less gray, black and gray again. But now, I was fixated on his eyebrows, he became annoyed. And he said that’s why I don’t reveal my secrets to mortals, they have no discipline. “Will you please stop staring.” I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing. But mostly, I couldn’t believe that I had been with him all this time and hadn’t noticed that they were changing.
I hope he has mastered remembering to stay old.
Did you or anyone see him
do anything else,like changing form or changing to something else and how did they feel after seeing something the mind can’t understand?
I would like to know how did you react after.
It is difficult to process at first. I needed validation from My friends and would bring Him around when I could to show them what I was talking about. He would sometimes indulge Me. It was hard to conceive seeing the laws of physics broken right in front of you.
One time We were laying in bed after some delicious lovemaking. We were drinking champagne and giggling. I think He asked Me about strawberries. I remember toasting Him and when joining glasses to “clink” I saw a strawberry floating inside My champagne flute. I rolled over to the right to put My glass on the nightstand and when I began to roll back over to Him, I had to stop midway. There were fresh strawberries in the bed Between Us, and I almost crushed them.
He was so romantic when He wanted to be. I could just eat Him up He was so sweet! We shared a Great Love and I’m Eternally Grateful for It.
Once, I was drinking with him and my mother was coming to see what all the laughter was about. He was naked. I told him that I didn’t want her to know that we were having sex. He just walked through the wall into the next room. I didn’t know that he could do that. Freaked me out.
We were at a restaurant and he didn’t have any money so he took money form people in the restaurant and paid the bill. Once he froze the entire restaurant and we left without paying. Also he loved turning water into wine. We never paid for seats at big events, we just went in and they treated us as if we were royalty.
Being royalty in England so it was wonder for this girl from a very modest family. He asked me if I wanted to marry into the royal family, I said that I just wanted to have three children and live happily with a good man.
I met that may a few months later and we married he was not that wealthy but I fell in love with his charm. He was the 40th relation with the royal house of Norway. When he died in an automobile accident, we received a letter from the Monarchy of Norway. We also receive also received 1.4million pounds from the company whose truck took his life. As long as I don’t remarry I’ll have that letter acknowledging that we are a bit royal.
I haven’t seen the Immortal in 21 years, 7 months and 17 days. But I still love him.
Once he changed in to a Jin from some planet. I forget the name of the planet, but he was so ugly that I fainted before I could make a wish. Honestly, I could never look at him again without seeing that horrible being.
We were walking on a very hot day and he coughed up Ice cubes. He loved making fire in his hands. I would put a lump of coal in the fire in his hands and marvel at how quickly it burnt up. But I was always too afraid to get too close after the lump of coal started to burn. He put his hands behind his back and attempted to kiss me. I jumped back and ran into the house. I was very afraid of fire because the British had burnt down several of my relatives’ homes because they were Irish and refuse to accept the fucking brits. I almost lost my life in two of those fires. He told me to fetch a couple of ice pieces. He told me to place them into his hands while the coal was burning. The ice didn’t melt from the heat. I asked him to help us defeat the brits. He said that we would one day become part of the UK. I refused to believe him. He said that he would give me enough life to see it occur. I am a little less than 400 years old. I am tired of living without a word from him. I haven’t seen him in 380 plus years. I only agreed to having the years because I thought we would be together.
I should be forgiven for what I did.
I met him when he was in his vampire, werewolf, gargoyle days.Watching him turn in those beasts was terrifying. I knew that it was him, but my mind wasn’t ready. I had a stroke. When he visited me in the Krankenhaus, I told him to revisit me when he was over playing monsters. I haven’t seen him since. That was 83 years ago.
I was around during the time of Alexander the Great. He died in Babylon in 323B.C. He was 32 years old. The Immortal said that if he lived, Cleopatra VII Philopator would not be born to become the Queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Destiny had it that she would be the lover of Julius Caesar and later the wife of Mark Antony. The Immortal said that he would be her lover and give her 7,000 years of life. They became lovers when she was 16.
Two years later in 51 BC her father Ptolemy XII died and the throne split between her and her 11 year old brother. He didn’t want the throne because he worshipped his sister. She was ready for the throne, but didn’t want to share it with a man.
11 year old Ptolemy was captured and his regents forced a civil war for the throne in his name. Cleopatra asked the Immortal for help in defeating the regents of Ptolemy. The Immortal said he would end the feud by drowning the 11 year old Ptolemy. He said he would turn himself into a swan and lead the boy into the Nile. Once there he would turn into an alligator and eat the kid. She refused and decided to seduce Julius Caesar to get him to defeat her enemies.
The Immortal turned himself into a 65 foot Lion with a man’s head. Cleopatra was not frightened. She told him to leave since she had made up her mind. We left together. He left Earth and journeyed with me to Gebesus. He refused to change back into his human body. He said that her affair with Rome would not end well so he gave her 7,000 years of life.
Oh yes, to insure that Cleopatra would be born he gave Alexander the Great a a disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome, which is very rare.
This illness can make someone completely paralyzed — they can’t move or speak — and it can make their breathing so slow that it’s hard to even notice. If no one checked his pulse, they might have thought he was dead when he wasn’t.
That means he might have been declared dead six days too early.
Maybe he was even buried alive.
Maybe he was awake, hearing and seeing everything, but couldn’t move or say a word. Like being trapped in your body.
The Immortal was never fond of the Greeks. Homer, called him Heracles and wrote a mythical story about him. He did not like Hesiod and Homer telling the world about him. Later the Romans had their version called Hercules by Ovid and Theocritus. It was rumored that this half mortal half god would later be born as a woman to seduce the Immortal.
I am on my last 40 Earth years. The Immortal no longer remembers me. I came to Earth to rekindle our friendship before I die. I have yet to meet him. There are millions of MotherShips up here, I don’t think I have the time left to make the reunion happen. If any who read this knows the Immortal tell him I am on Fp/`j9. I am 0lytky. We spent almost 14,000 earth years together roaming Æ¿Á and its qudrants.
Our lore says he gave her additional time so that he can come back as his Yalocha.
That would make him her Babalou.
Actually that would make him subservient to the earth Santeria gods; Elegua, Gemara, Chango, Obatala, and Ochun. It was said that they made him Immortal by killing him and sending him to the House of Dreams.
You fucking idiot. That immortal is older than the planet earth. Hence, he is older than your imaginary gods.
He sounds like the supernatural being we worship as a Nagual.
My niece woke me up to read this. It is almost 1:am here in Mexico City. You, Senor, mean a supernatural BEAST. It has a human head and a jaquar’s body with the dick of a camel. It can make itself invisible in front of its enemies.
As a Santeria priest, I advise you to stay far, far away from this Beast.
Do not be enticed by the tales you hear of the Immortal. He has lived so long alone that he has no regard for mortals. As he is fond of saying, he will outlive everyone. Life as we know of it has no meaning to this creature of the depths of Hell. Only God and Satan live forever and for certain he is not God.
He kills without remorse. He probably doesn’t understand the meaning of losing one’s “life.” He is immortal, so what does having life mean to him. He simply is. Whereas we mortals have a life; something that gives our existence meaning. We strive for something greater than ourselves.
This monster is a cancer in our midst. It hands out hundreds of years of life without regard to what will happen because of it. He changes lives without regard to the consequences. Be aware, be very aware of this being.
Maybe he is just a fucking Genie. Why don’t you aliens stop trying to kill him and work on putting him back into his bottle or lamp.
This comment have no sense. just because he’s an immortal and we are not, doesn’t mean we have to be jealous of him or hate him, if friend of him asked for more life and he gave him more life that means he care
how is that his fault? If he kills someone for a reason so he is no different from us. I have never heard that he’s walking around and killing people.
Now we are thinking just like the Aliens if he don’t give us more life or if we’re not more powerful than him, then we have to kill him instead of working with him and try to understand him. I just don’t think anyone want to be in his shoe if he did what you want, you will hate him, if he didn’t do what you want you will hate him too.
Thank you Nader1 for easing my fear. I was starting to panic a little bit about what this “Immortal” could do.
As usually, you make good sense. If he isn’t attacked, he doesn’t hurt others. Like you said, everybody is entitled to defend themselves.
Gosh, you know how to get to essence of a discussion. Basically, like you are saying, the Immortal is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t. I live in La Union, El Salvador. I would love to meet you. I may be too old. I am 34, but I have never been married. I have had only one boyfriend my whole life because he was a disappointment. He only wanted me for my looks so that he could brag to his friends that he was having sex with me (which he wasn’t) so I dumped him. Are you married?
34, You’re not old you are young enjoy your 30s,It’s all in your mind Don’t look back at your 20s because when you are in your 40s, you’re gonna look back at your 30s enjoy your life. I wish I can meet you but it’s not that simple.
Thank you Nader1. A woman loves to be appreciated. You are an intellectual and a true gentleman.
You are so stupid. The Immortal can be a very valuable asset to humanity. Recently we have discovered two specific antibodies from the Immortal that can neutralize thousands of diseases. We are attempting to synthesize these antibodies. We have made anti(_____) cocktail that mixed these antibodies with an experimental molecule that’s potential as a treatment for that particular disease.

A group of cryptocurrency traders banked nearly $100 million in profits through suspiciously timed transactions involving First Lady Melania Trump’s cryptocurrency token, according to a report.
Minutes before Melania Trump publicly announced the launch of her $MELANIA cryptocurrency, two dozen digital wallets rapidly purchased large quantities of the token, netting a collective $99.6 million windfall, an investigation by the Financial Times revealed.
The trading activity occurred in the critical two and a half minutes before the token’s public unveiling on Jan. 19.
Michelle, Barry died 01May25. They tried to cremate his body today. It wouldn’t burn.
Sandra Witty: (305)545-2422 is at the Miami Coroner Office may have more info if you are interested.
Barry died? Howie deserted him?
Howie, was self centered to the end. Not only did he leave, but he left Barry with the memory that he was Howie. Ho surprised he was to discover the he could die.
Howie, as selfish as usual refused to allow the state to cremate him. He said the Nazis had burned enough Jews, so the body wouldn’t burn. The state was forced to reach out to the next of kin to take the body. Cynthia was contacted. She told old frightened SW not to create him because Jewish law forbade it.
Barry spent much of his life is pain. We were led to believe that Howie offered him some relief. They seemed to be insuperable at times. Barry feels no pain anymore. RIP. I didn’t realize that Cynthia was still around. I had heard otherwise.
She and her husband Tage are doing very well. So are her three daughters and son. Her daughter Danielle is graduating as an anesthesiologist on May 29, 2025.
Thank you for that.
Tell them Doug, Michelle’s ex and Bill’s friend, in SF says hello.
I was with Cynthia and Tage when Bill turned into a huge ball of fire. He was sitting on my couch. Nothing caught on fire except my glass door windows. They melted as he walked through them. Then he left the earth in a flash and disappeared into the sky. I am still having nightmares because of it.
How could you be his friend? My husband walked in on us when he was removing some warts from the disease my husband had given me. The doctors didn’t have a cure so I begged him to help. When John attacked him and accused him of having sex with me, Bill smiled and changed his dick into a pussy. My husband fainted. When he awoke he had the warts on his pussy where they had been on mine. That was about 20 years ago. He still has a pussy with warts on it. I’m now a recovering alcoholic. No one believes me. When they examine my husband he has a dick, but when they leave, the wart afflicted pussy returns. Is Bill an alien? We have not seen him since he took off in a huge ball of flame.
Yes, he is an alien and yes, he is not
I think you are trying to say that he may be the architect of the mortal race.
There are many reasons that Bill is my friend. I am sorry that you had that experience. I’m sure that has been traumatic for you. His presence in my life was transformational, beneficial, educational, and amazing.
That would be how I see it.
I met him right out of college. I graduated as a lawyer. After 7 years with him. I left a very profitable firm to return to college to become a PTSD counselor for women who experienced violence in their male relationships.
He was always kind and logical when we discussed my legal cases.
What I remember most about him was his life’s view. It changed my priorities. When he left, I wanted to give something back so I changed my profession. I have never been happier. I have been married for 49 years. We have two wonderful children. One is an attorney, the other a very successful politician.
I often tell them about my first love. To me he was a Saint. We used to have a bottle of Champagne that we took to the Ballet with us. People used to come to our balcony suite to share our champagne. The bottle was always full no matter how many glasses we filled. He was well liked not for the champagne, but because he was always the best person in any room.
One day he said that he was leaving with an alien ship. It was the first time he had mentioned the existence of aliens. I wasn’t sure if he was joking. It was then he told me that he was immortal and that only the body he was in could die. He said that he would have to leave it behind because it was not suitable for space travel.
He said that they would pick him up at a bridge we used to return to the valley after visiting the city. He asked me to meet him there the next day. I did. When I approached, he climbed the bridge and leaped off. Instead of falling he was lifted up and I never saw him again. About a week later his body washed up on the shore. I will always love him.
I have over 30 years of experience with “Bill”. I use the quotes because, although my friend was always Bill, I know that over the years, his body or earthly suit, would be inhabited by various alien beings. I have seen him appear and disappear in front of me. I have witnessed his manifesting countless bottles that we shared over the years. Bottles would simply show up on the table. Some were incredible and he had brought some from other planets. He said I could try them and he had made it so it would be ok. I have witnessed him throw massive electrical charges. I was with him once, when he was Tzarme, and we were being chased by other 6 dimensional beings. We were moving through traffic in San Francisco and he had me turn a corner and go into a garage. We went through the garage to come out the other side of the building and he told me to turn left. I told him I can’t go left here as it was a one way going the other way to the right. He said he just changed that. I turned left and he did indeed change the one way street in San Francisco to go the other way. I have seen paintings come to life and talk. I have seen his cat talk. I have seen various ships over the years in various places all around the world I was visiting. He would hold a lightbulb and could make it light up simply by holding it. He called these simple parlor tricks for him, but for us it was astonishing. I have so many stories of having “them” as my friend Bill over the years. I am so very grateful of our times together. I always look forward to them.
Thanks for letting me know. May he RIP. 🙏🏼
Howie will probably be in some Galaxy causing those beings trouble. May they RIP.
Well, we have seen how Howie can be. Perhaps now that he has his wish his actions will be less impetuous, and more thoughtful.
The Caste is a BOOK.
You have saved us. We owe you.
I am happy to collect on that debt. You know what I want.
The two Palestinian Nazis who were brave on October 7th and kidnapped innocent Israeli civilians surrendered in boxers and tank tops, completely humiliated, weak, and pathetic.
They are begging for the mercy they didn’t give their hostages. They won’t get it.
Don’t stop there. Get the rest of those bastards. I was raped repeatedly by those animals. I want my government to bomb the shit out of the Gaza Strip until we kill all the Hamas, they surrender, then we kill them, or the disgusting moslem of Gaza turn then in, and then we kill them.
I was raped in every orifice I have. They shit and peed in my mouth. On the day of my release for about 230 moslem prisoners they got me up early took turns raping me again, they they allowed their dogs to rape me. I have had so many vaginal repair surgeries that I want to kill myself. But, I have to live to see my captors. Every time I hear of some Palestinians captured, I go down to take a look at them. I want to be there when they are captured. I want to participate in their torture and sentencing. If God will only grant me this I will gladly die the next day.
You are just lucky we didn’t do like the Nazi’s did and make soap out of that tight pussy. Yeah, I had that meat.
We will not stop until all you rapists are caught.
And we will not stop until every Jew in Palestine is dead.
The bitche wouldn’t have been raped if she had a البرقع mask on. But the shameless عاهِرة didn’t.

The majority of people with cat allergies are not allergic to the actual fur itself, as commonly believed, but to proteins in the cat’s saliva (which just happens to be on cat fur as a result of feline grooming habits), urine, and dander (dried flakes of skin).

Okay, you dumb fuck aliens. An IMEI number is a unique identifier associated with phones, tablets, and other devices with a cellular modem.
It’s used by cell carriers to authenticate devices on their network.
IMEI numbers also aid in tracking lost or stolen phones, device compatibility checks, and unlock requests.
The next time you contact me change the fucking IMEI numbers in the phones.
We don’t need to change the International Mobile Equipment Identity number because we control GSMA. Just do as you are told or you too can become an excellent stake.
I don’t care who you control. It would be simpler to change one of these components of the IMEI number; Its Type Allocation Code(TAC), its Serial Number(SNR), or its Check Digit(CD).
I-don’t like the bastards tracking me. They think you aliens mean them harm. Do something to get them off my back or I quit. Fuck your threats. All that “Food for the Gods” bullshit works with the chinks, but it cuts on slack with white America. I will turn on you and my government will protect me. So don’t threaten me you ugly motherfuckers.
Buhbye Reggie. Tootaloo.
The new Pope is american. He is Robert Francis Prevost. He is the first US born pope. He chose the name Leo XIV.
The 267th pontiff was selected after several rounds of voting over two days. In 2013, it took five rounds of voting in under two days for the cardinals to choose Francis. The fastest conclave lasted only 10 hours in 1503, while the longest lasted nearly three years in 1268.
Any of the cardinals could have been named the next pope ― and technically, church rules state that any Catholic male is eligible for the role ― but only a handful of cardinals are viewed as the top contenders. And though there are 252 members of the College of Cardinals, only those under 80 are eligible electors. Among the 133 who voted, the Argentine-born Francis had appointed 108 of them ― lending him sizable posthumous influence on who’s been chosen as his successor.
This conclave has been the most geographically diverse one in history, with cardinals hailing from 71 countries, including 17 from Africa, 23 from Asia, 37 from the Americas and 4 from Oceania. The remaining 52 are from Europe, the birthplace of every pope except Francis for the past 1,300 years.
Now, the Pope is a good topic. Let’s dwell on that and drop all this Immortal crap.
get a life.
If the US navy continues to confront us we will continue to shoot down their Hornets. How long before the public will no longer believe that they just keep falling overboard.
When will they realize that they pose no threat to us? We will continue to impose our will on them as long as the idiot Trump orders them to shoot down a UFO. You asked us to bring the next offender to you. I will present that Super Hornet to you intact.
At least the Ear lived up to his commitment. He promised that the next Pope would be American and black. He wanted him to have a very close relationship with the poor people of New Orleans. The Pope’s mother is Mildred Martinez, a poor New Orleans girl from the 7th Ward, one of the ghettos in New Orleans.
The Pope’s father is also a Creole, but they were one of the many creoles who went north to pass for white. He is also the first Augustinian Pope. They have a strong commitment to community. He will be ready to accept a catholic leader of Syria.
Not to say that the Ear is back on board with putting a catholic family on the throne of Syria. This plan was set in motion over a year ago. He had the Pope appoint 106 of the 133 voting Cardinals so the election of Prevost was a done deal. After a few tries to prevent others from claiming the fix was in, Prevost was elected by 121 of the 133.
Let’s see how the racists feel kneeling to a black man as the master of their faith. Wanna bet we won’t see plenty of defections
