every single democrat who doesn’t start their statement with “this is illegal under domestic and international law and therefore i oppose it” needs to go

QOTD:

👇🎯 Periodic reminder that the right-wing career/salary talking points about the liberal arts are belied by huge piles of data (e.g., news.wisc.edu/new-data-on-...), & the complicity of Democrats & university administrators in repeating those right-wing talking points is a major part of then problem.

The other thing that drives me batsh*t crazy about this is the blatant pull-up-the-ladder-after-me part of 👇. You went to Princeton & Harvard, man. Surely, if they were good enough for you, the guy who passed up West Point for the Ivy League, they’re good enough for everyone else in the military.

peer reviews? no thanks. how about weird reviews

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

BLOCKED. A Massachusetts federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt its illegal and aggressive third-country deportations. It is inhumane for the Administration to send immigrants, without a shred of due process, to countries where they lack ties and may face torture or persecution.

This is deeply illegal, breaking the Medicaid statute and the ICA. States are entitled to funding from federal govt to help pay for Medicaid. Providing less than the statute calls for is open and shut illegal, more akin to the impoundments Nixon lost unilaterally before SCOTUS than anything so far.

Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.

You should care about this because trans people are human beings with inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you should care about this for your own personal safety First they violate the rights of a group they think no one will fight for, and then they come for the rest of us

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Trump's State Department hosted UK anti-Muslim activist Tommy Robinson today. In 2013, Robinson pleaded guilty to illegally entering the U.S. by using a fraudulent passport.

This administration always promises their sweeping actions will only hurt the "bad guys," but innocent people are collateral damage every time. Disabled people need durable medical equipment.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028. He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

And he was telling me about women he fits who have to venture into pediatric sizes, and I asked if there’s a price break like there is for kids’ shoes. And NO the peds sized feet cost more. Injustice.

I’m a women’s size 7 (US) in shoes, and the prosthetic foot my prosthetist was hyping to me (and that I was excited to try) apparently doesn’t come in a size “that small” to match my very normal sized women’s foot. This isn’t the first time, and it fills me with rage.
