The Trump administration has seized $120M USD owned by the Canadian pension fund earmarked for a wind development — and demanding the pension-backed company invest in fossil fuels instead.

So I'm not the only one, and it's not just in my corner of the field... It seems like people are not encouraged to read widely, or at all. And a propos, my fave meme....

"Trump has been told for over a decade by his loyal base that God has anointed him to lead America. So the idea that Pope Leo is a moral voice for the world—or for Americans in particular—is anathema to Trump."

I went to public schools in suburban Saint Paul and knew that what Roberts is saying here was nonsense before I reached high school, much less before I started teaching law school

Whirlpool says Iran war causing 'recession-level industry decline.' The shares are down 20%

Glares in the large body of peer reviewed literature (both articles and books) on judicial politics and public law in political science empirically showing how, not if, the SCOTUS is political.

Criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

The Trump admin removed one of the main ways we get data on the race & ethnicity of end-stage kidney disease patients, making it much harder to track the significant racial & ethnic disparities in the disease. 🧵1/3

Earlier today, it was revealed that DOJ was investigating this reporter for her previous unflattering expose on Patel’s drinking. This is the best possible response: another expose of his embarrassing behavior. Kick his ass, Sarah.

Apocalyptic aerial footage from east Gaza City.

George Zoley, the CEO of GEO Group — which detains 21,000 people in ICE custody — complained on an earnings call today about "fundamentally unconstitutional" lawsuits about conditions in immigration detention www.huffpost.com/entry/prison...

Just got the following email from the NYC bar association: "Update: All attorneys from the United States Attorney's Offices have withdrawn from participating in this year's White Collar Crime Conference."

The PLO voluntarily liquidated its national liberation element in exchange for the establishment of a subcontractor entity that would exist under, not in replacement of, the military occupation of Palestinian territory. This was a fatal mistake that we are still suffering from today.

Oslo is often touted as the "what if" scenario gold standard but the text of the agreement made no mention of an end goal for Palestinian sovereignty and in fact it did not even require Israel to recognize a Palestinian right to self determine, or any collective national rights for that matter.

i have said this before but the hate you have for citizens united is imo more properly reserved for buckley v. valeo

Whole heartedly agree, we are so privileged to have Dr Gonzalez as an affilate of the Edward Bailey Research Centre and a contributor to the conference - so looking forward to this conversation about his award winning book. Come along and join in: Register: www.ticketsource.com/edward-baile...

I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

Caregiving is female, it is VASTLY undercompensated, and every government agency and male taxpayer benefits from women’s unpaid and underpaid work. Caregiving is a Feminist Issue, it’s an equality issue, it’s an equal justice issue, and it’s a racial justice issue.

Thus, the gala helps sustain these craft industries and keeps the production quality high for the areas of culture you care about. I think it's fine to discuss whether we should tax the rich or whether figures like Jeff Bezos are trying to whitewash their reputation through the fashion industry.

They spent at least $50 BILLION over 2 months to bomb people in Iran. I don't want to hear a single thing about what can and cannot be funded in this country. Ever. The End.

So the Feds did more to investigate VA workers who went to Alex Pretti memorial than those who killed him.

Just as they did in Minnesota, the Trump administration's DOJ is weaponizing the government and using schools and school funding to persecute another Democratic state.

Calling the Three-Fifths Compromise an “anti-slavery measure” is wicked work.

Now this is the Met Gala content I'm here for... Yes, it's the Ball Without Billionaires 👠🔥

we need independent media now more than ever.

No. "Economist Bryan Caplan...: “The main function of education is not to teach useful skills (or even useless skills), but to certify students’ employability. By & large, the reason our customers are on campus is to credibly show, or ‘signal,’ their intelligence, work ethic, & sheer conformity.”

When Tony Judt wrote an essay in Oct 2003 in which he accurately said that the two state solution had become a self soothing mantra for the West than a tangible policy objective, and that it served to obfuscate a one state reality, he was removed from New Republic's masthead and had talks canceled.

This month, I've published two articles and a workbook as a follow-up from my design keynote at axe-con 2026. TLDR: AI doesn't "fix" accessibility. It reproduces the structural debt it was trained on, at the speed and scale that AI-assisted coding now operates. annaecook.com/writing/2026... 1/2

Google DeepMind employees in London have voted to unionize, in a bid to prevent the lab from providing its tech to American and Israeli militaries:

The AI-driven hard drive shortage is making it more expensive for the Internet Archive to operate, causing problems for Wikimedia, causing delays in academic and hobby archiving projects. Normal people and non AI companies simply can't find reasonably priced drives: www.404media.co/the-ai-hard-...

Palestinian photographer Saher Alghorra was awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography for documenting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. His photos are worth seeing, so here’s a gift link:

Last time, the Supreme Court ducked, using the standing doctrine to avoid making a decision about Mifepristone. Now, it’s back. SCOTUS is considering an injunction out of Louisiana that could affect the rest of the country, too. Here’s what you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Montreal’s Red Dress Day Memorial March on May 5 will honour victims and demand justice “We gather to honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people, and to demand justice and change.”

I was actually offered the option of doing it under anesthesia, too. THIS SHOULD BE STANDARD.

The really infuriating thing is that it doesn't have to be this way. I recently had one inserted, and was offered (and took) sedation beforehand and a cervical block. The whole thing was over in like 15 minutes, including waiting for the block to take effect.

Americans are taught Kent State was a brutal aberration- scared untrained guardsmen who went too far and were checked by public outrage. But Kent State was one of many massacres of antiwar student protestors in May 1970 - UNM, Jackson State, the (non-military) Hard Hat Riot - all met with impunity.

Louisiana, the nation’s poorest state, is advancing what housing advocates call one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country, threatening unhoused people with jail, hard labor, or coerced “treatment” just for sleeping outside.

Same kind of pathological disorder that convinced people that Iranians secretly yearn to be killed by an Israeli or American airstrike in the name of freedom

My colleague Aaron Parsley just won a Pulitzer for this story, written days after he survived the July 4 floods that killed his nephew. It's one of the most gutwrenching and memorable things you'll ever read. Please do.

Coming up on @ms.now Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell at 10:44 PM ET

Remember when y'all made this thread on Paulina Borsook go viral? Well, that resulted in her getting a deal to re-publish her book in the USA, the UK & Commonwealth, Belgium, France, and Switzerland! Coming Sept. 15—with a foreword by some guy named Gil Duran. Pre-order! www.cyberselfish.com

Jeff Bezos could’ve done what several other wealthy newspaper owners have done — turn the Post into a nonprofit and provide it a sizable endowment. Instead he did shit like this ⤵️

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

I haven’t thought about this in any serious way, but is there any colorable claim that Congress could use Section 2 of the 14A to punish states that discriminate against Black voters in redistricing to dilute their voting power? Asking a genuine question because it just crossed my mind.
