As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it

RIP to hundreds of Iranians and one American vacation

Imagine if Obama, etc. and so forth…

Congrats to Olivia Nuzzi on being named new leader of Iran.

I remember realizing Americans sided with guns post Columbine and that bent my mind. Access to guns got even worse and the media turned shooters into celebrities and now my kid does active shooter drills in elementary schools. Imagine kids saying "active shooter drill" out loud like it's nothing

The NYT style guide

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

I could write a dissertation on this cursed shirt.

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Ban the fucking polymarkets. Betting on death. Betting on war while Incentivizing death and war. Shaping foreign/domestic policy by rewarding the rich people already in the know and encouraging them to make decisions that destroy the world while padding their pockets. Burn it down.

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

Democrats should promise that every refugee, asylum seeker, and green card holder illegally deported, arrested, sent to CECOT, or sent to a third country can come back to the U.S. with a fast track to citizenship.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

“The Enemy’s Wicked Ideology” is both a good band name and YA book title. I have no and idea what Whiskey Pete means by it, though.

300. This is an action aimed at 300 people. This just highlights how vulnerable the transgender community really is—and how monstrous these policies attacking them really are. It’s exactly how the Nazis targeted Jews. Exactly.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Just to recap, the US continues killing Caribbean "drug smugglers," we invaded Venezuela, we're conducting an embargo of Cuba, and half our Navy is off the coast of Iran ready to strike, but our SecDef is worried about merit badges and trans kids who want to go Scouting.

I know which dude I’d rather hang out with. No wonder Alex’s teammates didn’t like him.

Arrest them.

I hope everyone enjoys Kevin Sorbo and Kirk Cameron movies.

this is the columbia student DHS abducted today by pretending to be nypd looking for a "missing person." she's a neuroscience major + influencer w 104k followers who promotes content about studying and neuro stuff. she is one of the scary people that trump says he is protecting us from.

Video shows ICE agents drive-by pepper spraying an Ohio mom and her three kids. While she was driving. When asked by a local TV station for comment, DHS put out a statement that directly contradicts the video. www.wkrn.com/news/nationa...

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs. Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Good. But also? These headlines should be noted. Summers should be resigning. Not because of emails to Epstein, but what was IN those emails. He should be resigning for his racist fetishizing of an Asian protege. Of using his job to attempt to set up sexual encounters. Unprofessional behavior.

Is Casey Means aware of what the side effects of forced pregnancy and childbirth are?

The first step in abolishing prisons is abolishing private prisons.

Seems like maybe cancel culture wasn’t the biggest threat ever if we can’t even get a literal Nazi canceled from mainstream media outlets.

Did I miss him shitting on Rosie O’Donnell or something?

Kid who didn’t do anything for the group project reading the slides for the first time during the presentation

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009. The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’m going to watch the TPUSA Alternate State of the Union with Brantley Brice and Braxleigh Brantley.

Indiana University's football crown was the feel-good story of the year. Off the field...not so much Ranked last for free speech, DEI cuts, slashing the humanities while paying its coach $13M under MAGA trustees My column on how IU ranks No. 1 in moral bankruptcy www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Damn—if I was still a mail carrier, I’d refuse to deliver the reams of right wing bullshit mail and be done each day in half the time.

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia. The cruelty is boundless.

BRB—gonna go invest in iron lung futures.

Imagine if J. Edgar Hoover tried to party with Tommie Smith and John Carlos.

Imagine partying with that dork Kash Patel when you could hang with Flavor Flav instead. #YeahBoyeee

I know there is a lot, but this really does break a part of me. It is so lawless on so many levels — and each individual boat strike is a choice.

The world would be a much better place if chiropractors were outlawed and universal health care covered a weekly massage for everyone (which you could go to because you only work four days a week).

Kristi Noem rehired a retired CBP officer w/a history of racism, and he nearly got himself and an innocent bystander killed with insanely irresponsible gun handling. sahanjournal.com/public-safet...

we told everyone they don’t care about women’s sports but transphobes tried to pretend otherwise. if you fell for it you are an idiot 👍

stories like this will mention the AI "doomer narrative" (SkyNet will kill us all, often pushed by industry insiders), but not mention it pre-empts more realistic criticism (Grok's data center in Memphis is aiming its pollution directly at black people) the industry doesn't want to talk about

Aren’t we lucky that universities haven’t gotten carried away with the hype and taken a careful approach to AI? Imagine if they had decided to push AI into our teaching and work life! All praise to our leaders in higher ed for not falling for hype, hallelujah and praise the goddess

this kid was spirited away to a "short-term residency program" owned by Bethany Christian Services, an evangelical adoption agency connected to Betsy DeVos
