Why does Pam Bondi hate Georgia Fort? "Georgia Fort is a three-time Midwest Emmy award-winning journalist who was one of two journalists in the courtroom for the sentencing of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd." www.startribune.com/who-is-georg...

They are worried about this because it is what they would do. They cannot imagine that their opponents would not be behave like they themselves would. It’s a tell. It is always a tell.

@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social I was wondering, do we have a safe vaccine that prevents cancer? Does getting this vaccine, helped to prevent cancer in other people, too?

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I never know what this means. Prepared to be math majors? Ready for calculus? Already taken calculus? Sufficient command of algebra to major in chemistry? Sufficient for initial probability statistics classes? What does this mean?

ITP on The Pitt!!!! (I had that when I was a kid. I knew Santos had to be wrong this time. And yet, I did not guess ITP.)

Really good thread. I love the analogy of LEGOs glued to a drone 🚀

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

@joeposnanski.com I more than doubled the amount that your Team Gleason fundraiser has totaled! It helps that I was one of the first handful of contributors. Nonetheless, this is a proud moment for me. For anyone wondering, go to teamgleason.app.neoncrm.com/forms/poscas... to help.

If I ask you to cite your sources and you get offended I’m just gonna go ahead and assume you don’t have any.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

As long as we're renaming buildings

This policy that greatly harms students and keeps passing rates lower than they should be. I wanted to teach Alg II and could guarantee an 85% pass rate of higher. But I didn't have a masters in math. So I wasn't eligible to teach it. Instead, some clown taught it and abt 30% of students failed. 2/x

We are mostly talking about teaching Algebra II to students bcz that is essentially what College Algebra is. BUT, HS teachers are not allowed to teach it as higher ed level. Instead, grad students or faculty who likely have no or limited pedagogical training teach it. 1/x

@espiers.bsky.social 1) obviously they’re idiots and assholes out there. No doubt. 2) but there remains a real problem of respecting democracy on federalism. Is a moral and philosophical challenge to figure out what to do. Obviously, we should care, but what to do is difficult to figure out.

/3 I am informed it’s normal to get more intolerant as I get older and I think I am absolutely getting less tolerant of other people’s absolute bullshit.

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

This is, I would offer, a great example of when it's better to teach skills than content; It's impossible to keep up with the background knowledge needed to spot an AI video. Develop the skill of lateral reading and you'll be better off than someone who stares at a video trying to spot the tells.

Fired NCES Chief: Ed. Dept. Cuts Mean 'Fewer Eyes on the Condition of Schools': Experts discuss how federal actions have impacted equity and research in the field of education.

I’m starting to think that article of the constitution about qualified immunity and presidential immunity was a bad idea.

United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US. All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

My wife (attorney) just faced a motion that included fabricated case citations and fake quotes from real cases. She got the case dismissed because the opposition didn’t show up to an important oral argument in court, so she didn’t beat it in misuse of AI grounds. But she’s faced one, now.

@kenwhite.bsky.social In your practice, how many trials do you actually do a year? Are you mostly criminal or civil law? How much appellate work do you do in a year? (Most people have no clue how much litigation work is on cases that never make it to trial— for one reason or another.)

@mattyglesias.bsky.social What is so hard to understand about, “I really hate non-white people amd foreigners, and don’t care that much about the bottom 90, 95 or 99% of Americans“? That seems to explain what you don’t think is reconcilable?

@espiers.bsky.social what are you normal base shoes to travel with? What’s your second pair. The big thing for my female friends when traveling is needing a bigger bag for shoes. (Men rarely travel with as many.)

@emilypeck.bsky.social oh, yeah. AirTags in ever piece of luggage I use. In every bag I use around. In my car. Yeah. Totally changes waiting for checked bag. You can see when it gets closer to the luggage claim area. Way less anxiety.

@felixsalmon.com a chirping AirTag is often low on battery power. Need a new battery. Don’t get one that with the anti-toddler butter tasting coating. Won’t work.

@edfuller.bsky.social what has happened your your cycling tweets. I almost miss trying to figure out what they mean.

@kentremendous.bsky.social @joeposnanski.com the politics surveys that Mike is thinking of are generally 650 respondents, not 350. Margin of error depends on both sample size and the distribution within the population. That 650 was selected based on assuming a 50-50 split.

@emilypeck.bsky.social @espiers.bsky.social it’s not the cane sugar. It all changes into the same sugars in the coke. Mexican coke has more salt. Flavor enhancer. Tastes more, even though chemically, no more sweeteners. This guys walks through the science and the proof. youtu.be/NY66qpMFOYo?...

@kenwhite.bsky.social my wife just me that she just replaced all the space-spaces in a brief with single spaces. She said she did it so I would stop calling her “a lawyer like [my] father” on the internet. I believe we all have you to thank for this. 🙏

On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified. The text is just as clear and relevant today as it was back then. Donald Trump is trying to erase this.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social on the lay podcast, you said: * “Latinx” instead of “Latin” * “racialized“ instead of racist. Both surprised me.

A friend of mine joked that an effective counterprotest might be to dress up as Keystone Cops or Monty-Python-style knights and walk along with them, harrumphing and making over-the-top displays of law enforcement.

What if: One parent believes that charity towards others is of God and not Caesar, something for the church and not the state. Another parent religiously believes that charity must suffuse everything we do. How do schools then teach about The New Deal and the Great Society at all? #Mahmoud

@jonbecker.bsky.social I am not seeing anything that keeps this from applying to library books. In the opinion, the problem is that the books *themselves* presented a normative view, declaring how students should view/feel about same-sex marriage. 🧵

So, having read the Mahmoud decision, I see that it rests on the right of parents to teach their children that we are all not equal, and the“pursuit of happiness” should not be respected for all people—not even if that pursuit as no impact on our own private lives. 🧵

I have always deplored how few rights children have in our country, and how parents are allowed to abuse and limit them—by right. I’ve heard, “If it was good enough for me, it’s good enough for my kid,” by people who didn’t learn the lesson themselves back in the day. We should want more for kids.

I do not believe that the right of parents to control the lessons taught in public schools to their children are rooted in our nation’s history and tradition. Certainly, no more than the right to regulate semi-automatic weapons.

Parental right are not explicitly mentioned in the US Constitution. This Mahmoud v. Taylor decision is NOT about free exercise. It is about the right of parents to control the religious education of their children, with an incredibly broad view of what constitutes inference with that right. 🧵

No. That is too broad. This is a country for white conservative religious people. Definitely not for all white people.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

looking forward to some parents suing to demand segregated schools because integration violates their religious beliefs

Let's be clear that the children a) have no say in their own exclusion from potentially critical/important curricula and b) have not recourse after the fact.
