a VRA map that recognizes discrete and compact communities and creates districts accordingly? illegal race discrimination. packing every black person they can find i to a single district crossing the whole state? colorblindness and equal protection thank you sam alito

"I'm being very generous allowing domestic terrorists to steal only $2 billion dollars from you because otherwise I was going to steal even MORE from you. You're welcome, taxpayers. Suckers!"

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

But @jmetr22b.bsky.social, @jonseidel.bsky.social and others were there today for proceedings that resulted in the case being thrown out entirely and Andrew Boutros, the U.S. Attorney for Northern Illinois himself, having to face Perry over apparent prosecutorial misconduct.

Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, Google's on-device LLM. Chrome did not ask.

If you graduated law school between 2020-2026 you should get a refund. The Supreme Court trashed half the body of constitutional law you learned in a matter of years. Spent three years to learn framework that existed for decades just to have maybe 3 years of it still existing?!

running to the Nazi website to complain that people were being mean to you for hitting the red carpet at Nazi Prom

Texas tech now bans students from writing about LGBTQ issues in any form. Mentions of gender identity, orientation etc in textbooks must be skipped. Deafening silence so far from all the brave heterodox free speech absolutists www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

she reframes gay peoples fight against the police and the government as "against pitchfork badguys" and uses that to segway into how trans people are scared that a head of an LGBTQIA+ org has stopped defending trans people and claims that trans people are the crazy ones with the pitchforks is nuts

It’s my 14th birthday today!!!! 🎉🎂 In honor of my birthday, would you consider a donation to da Greenville Humane Society’s Mutt Strut? Donation Link: runsignup.com/lawnpotato/D...

NEW: A PR company is operating a bizarre fake news site that's plagiarizing original journalism at a massive scale -- all while spewing misinformation, publishing hallucinated quotes, and replacing real people’s names with “Jane Doe.” Also: it misquotes the Pope. futurism.com/artificial-i...

“Historic low birth rate” being the headline and not “teen pregnancy down” is nasty work

I do not believe there is an actual "ceasefire agreement", in the sense of a single document that both sides have agreed to, I think proposals were getting passed back and forth and eventually Trump decided to unilaterally declare that Iran had accepted his terms, based on a verbal summary.

I’m so fucking sick & tired of all the people over the years telling us that Donald Trump didn’t really mean what he actually said. I’m so fucking sick of it. No other political figure gets that pass. We hold this president to such a pathetically & uniquely low standard.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

A man man is threatening to destroy a country if they don’t open the straight of Hormuz, a straight that the defense secretary for the madman told us just two weeks ago was in fact still open

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. We decided to illustrate it.

My new legal theory is that a giant anvil should fall from the sky onto Alito's head.

You do not get credit for all the times you drive sober.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Sorry, uhh, *legal* analysis is "I have no idea what Alito is talkign about but it's probably evil in some way I haven't thought of yet."

The Republicans keep saying that birthright is "not" the norm, but it IS the norm in the New World. It's not the norm in, like, Luxemborg.

If Sauer’s argument were true, we could have sweeping restrictions on assault rifles and extended magazines. He might note that we do not.

It’s very funny that we have found the one and only time that the American Right thinks European precedent is incredibly important, and it’s because unambiguous American precedents very clearly say the exact opposite of what they want

‘Rowling has been rich enough to pour cash into organizations like this for some time now because she continues to hold primary intellectual property rights to the entire Harry Potter franchise.’ Can’t separate art from artist when the artist is using their royalties to eradicate trans people.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

A very Trump 2 sequence of events here: 1. Trump creates problem 2. Senate resolves problem, exercising constitutional authority of Congress 3. House GOP rejects solution 4. Trump takes unlawful steps to "solve" problem, seizing the rightful authority of Congress with the assent of the House GOP

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

This will lead to AI “rewrites” that are defamatory. I say this with certainty because Grammarly regularly advises me to remove adverbs like “allegedly” and “apparently.”

It's like the opposite of the bene gesserit. Their plans are measured in minutes

I’m not surprised the state’s attorney did this, but I am disgusted with the hospital. The attorneys in a red state with draconian laws is one thing, but her doctors betrayed her like this? It’s not “first do no harm, second cut open a woman against her competent express wishes”

You forced a woman into an unwanted surgery, never mind the most invasive surgery, and you think she’s merely upset and you’re surprise at that?? You cut through seven layers of her flesh and muscle against her express wish, and you have the audacity to say this. Die at The Hague you freak

The director of women’s services was… not concerned about the woman’s welfare. Just the baby’s.

7/ Florida’s constricting of the rights of pregnant patients is a striking exception for a state that has pushed to enshrine “medical freedom” for those who wish to avoid vaccines or fluoridated water.

6/ Pregnancy is the only condition where Florida courts have ruled that a mentally competent patient can be forced to undergo unwanted treatment. It’s rooted in the concept of fetal personhood: that a fetus has equal and, in some cases, more rights than the woman sustaining it.
