“When the EEOC publicly calls out one specific racial and gender group for encouragement—rather than affirming equal access for all—it raises a fundamental question of legitimacy.” - Effenus Henderson

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Walz: "To watch people word salad - there's too damn many guns & wrong types of guns on the street. I don't want to hear 'how do you define assault weapon?' I damn sure can tell you what it does & unfortunately we have a bunch of parents now who know a lot more about what these weapons do"

Murphy: "This isn't shocking, bc over last year, Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons, eliminated the WH office of gun violence prevention & stopped funding mental health grants & community anti-gun violence grants"

It's utterly insane, but statistically probably unsurprising, that there was more than one Brown student who had previously experienced a mass school shooting, including one who was actually shot, @miatretta.bsky.social. It doesn't have to be this way.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

OMFG

Trump’s Project 2025 administration cancels World AIDS Day.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

Remember when Republicans and corporate media lost their minds over Charlie Kirk's murder, which was allegedly done by Tyler Robinson, and somehow blamed "the left" for their rhetoric? But Trump outright saying Democrats should be executed is fine. Cool.

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait. It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
