As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

And nobody cares except us. I’m on like six unemployed black woman listservs, where everyone’s freaking out, and nobody’s like “I’m running on trying to get y’all jobs.” It’s like we’re being erased from American society.

i keep trying to find a chill or ironic way to post this and there is simply nothing chill about it!!! ahhhhHHHhhhhhhhh!!!!! variety.com/2026/tv/news...

My little announcement - I have a new book in 2027, and this is the cover!

Opinion release days are a big part of the Court's antiperformance-as-performance schtick. They are invested in performing nonchalance about the public's attitude toward them, but in order to do so, they of course need an audience. The secrecy about what exactly is coming guarantees they get one.

oh my god

A large number of bad “big boys are never accountable“ SCOTUS opinions are easily circumvented if legislatures—state and Congress—just found some spine and created/updated rights of action. So many of these cases are SCOTUS reading laws crazy narrowly, or interpreting Con Las MINIMUMS narrowly.

Today was an absolute blood bath at SCOTUS for the less powerful to enforce civil rights in the federal courts. TL;dr - SCOTUS rules 6-3 that only corporations have rights that are enforceable in federal court??

this is unbelievable.

i think it is great that conservative students functionally work as a volunteer stasi for republican politicians and conservative media

“They thought no one's paying attention to warehouse sales,” Wriston said. "Maybe people are distracted by the data center purchases, which are equally important to pay attention to. And that wasn't the case.”

And also a million think-tanks and non-profits like the Manhattan Institute, AEI, Heritage, Brownstone, FAIR/CIS, Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine, Genspect, etc and they all have PR connections to land op-eds in every major news paper every month for all eternity

"After analyzing federal and industry records, including never-before-examined data on vehicle dimensions, we found that the rise of large pickups and S.U.V.s is an important factor." i'm sorry but how the fuck is this correlation just coming to light now?

Big news last week: the NYT reported that ICE is planning to sell seven warehouses it bought with the intention of transforming them into jails for immigrants. (www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...) One of them is in Roxbury, NJ. Bolts had reported on the extensive local organizing against ICE there:

What did @regimecpa.bsky.social know?

That’s basically the gist of the issue. Men are not inherently icky. Men who don’t think you are a real person cannot offer you a romantic partnership because, and this is key, they don’t actually care about you.

not the main problem with today's book landscape, but do you think we could find a way to bring back long-running fantasy series whose authors have not even begun to think about the possibility of resolving their psychosexual issues so their books end up reshaping queer teens' minds permanently

Oh look, confirmation of what we've all noticed by now.

EU Parliament has just approved "strictest-ever" migration law in its history. Pushed by far right, with support from centrist parties, new law will speed up deportations, sanction deportation camps ("return hubs") in third countries, facilitate enforcement raids. Césaire "Europe is indefensible"

one of my overriding rules is "nothing we are doing is secure" and I was not going to try to make it secure. the fix for security online is to not put anything online that you can't defend in court.

Oh!

the feds are coming in hard in Minneapolis today it looks like, targeting legal observers. I heard this from a friend there: "An alert was just posted to lock your doors and don’t open them for ICE/officials without a signed warrant. Twin Cities Legal observers’ homes are being raided... [cont'd]

Hey y'all! Donna & I are navigating the $ situation, but the most upsetting part is that because she was secondary on her son's acct, he also lost everything. @courtneymilan.com has been peer pressuring us to drop his venmo & we got him set up with his own account. (venmo is @Chaotic_Pretzel !)

lol any way 💅

Save the condolences and statement of "there's no place for Islamophobia in the US." Of course there is. There's a place for it at your dinner table, on TV and in the White House. I say this as a Muslim, you can keep the words.

Why would those young people think that they'd be sanctioned for Islamophobia? Who ever is in this country? In fact, you are rewarded for it by being elevated to positions of leadership for being as Islamophobic as possible.

I say it all of the time because it's true: Islamophobia in the U.S. is absolutely one of the most tolerated forms of bigotry. It's everywhere, routine and rarely challenged. It's not surprising that teenagers who swim in this water from birth would also be Islamophobic.

The suicide note “contained references to racial pride” b/c of course it did. 3 innocent people were murdered by racists. A community was terrorized by racists. I live in TX & hear Islamophobic comments by my state GOP pretty regularly. This is an outcome of the normalization of hate.

I find the media's fixation on this imaginary white rural MAGA voter with inexplicable opinions as The Prototypical Rural Voter exhausting on a lot of fronts, but it's getting increasingly ridiculous. are my white rural neighbors often alarming? yes! but like... in weirder/stupider ways than this.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)
