Treating domestic violence as random and unique to a particular family decreases urgency and absolves us of responsibility for addressing a larger societal issue. We live in a country where an average of 70 women are shot and killed by a current or former partner every single month… 3/

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. 🧵

The longtime president of Bard College in New York has announced his retirement, months after it was revealed that he had a much deeper relationship than was previously known with Jeffrey Epstein. n.pr/4wckn0q

Reading it for IP Emancipation and the trademark chapter. Why do we use the word, “brand”? Why do we use in trademark law, the term “passing” to describe customer confusion over the good?

The form of mifepristone approved to treat Cushing’s is not affected by this ruling

MAGA social media outlets are filled with seemingly professional media content, almost all of which is generated by a handful of disinformation labs located in s 5 square mile area of St Petersburg, Russia. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Nice work, @insidehighered.com This is a perfect headline & lede.

Most people who have an abortion use mifepristone. Blocking access to it isn’t about safety—it’s about control. We won’t stop fighting until everyone can get the care they need, no matter where they live.

Senator Padilla did a thing y’all

Chicago made it so every public school student can use their school ID as a #LibraryCard 📚. No forms, no extra steps. It gives over 300k students instant access to #books, #tutoring, and online resources 🙌

Gleeful murderers. They come into our communities and shoot us and brag and laugh at us.

Republicans and Democrats have different views of how the conflict with Iran is going and how well Trump is handling the situation.

In 2004, I obtained mifepristone for a medical abortion at age 16 without parental consent. It required I stand shaking, unrepresented before a judge and argue for my own worth, intelligence, and future. If anyone thinks this is going down without a fight, they are sadly fucking mistaken.

BREAKING: We’re suing Idaho over a new state law banning transgender people from using the correct restrooms in all government-owned buildings and private businesses that are open to the public. This extreme law threatens felony convictions and up to 5 years in prison.

Trump jokes that US Navy will takeover Cuba on the way back from Iran

The collapse of the US-based budget carrier due to a doubling in jet fuel prices will cost thousands of jobs.

Elon Musk was paid $158 billion by Tesla last year. That is double the entire budget of the U.S. Department of Education.

The Agriculture Secretary just confirmed it publicly. 1 in 4 American farmers has NO fertilizer secured for spring planting. No fertilizer. No crops. No food. Farm bankruptcies are up 46% in 2025. 160,000 farms closed since 2017. Less than half of all farmers will even turn a profit this year.

The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident

It's been 60 days since the President started his illegal war with Iran. According to the law, he must withdraw troops NOW.

On this day 70 years ago-May 1, 1956-the polio vaccine was first made widely available to the public. The vaccine’s developer, Dr. Jonas Salk, did not patent the vaccine so that it would remain available to as many people as possible in the US and internationally. Image: Harvey Georges/AP.

Olivia Rodrigo’s backup singer on ‘Saturday Night Live’ is a CU Boulder professor

Ken Burns’ documentary on Vietnam is an incredible watch right now, because it underlines how the war for America was a series of absolutely terrible decisions made either to maintain a perception of political machismo, or for absolutely no reason at all. Feels familiar!!

California health officials are urging people to avoid eating shellfish gathered along parts of the Bay Area coast after dangerous toxins were found in local waters.

Loved this - Kathryn Erbe from Law & Order was marching!

One insurance denial for Teressa’s husband stated, “your newborn does not meet the criteria for coverage.” “This is when I really start to think they’re just denying,” she recalled. “They’re not even looking. They’re just ‘deny, deny, deny.’” (Published Sept. 2025)

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Court restricts abortion access across the US by blocking the mailing of mifepristone

A tech worker in eastern China's Hangzhou city was dismissed after his job was replaced by AI. An appeals court in the city has ruled the dismissal unlawful. n.pr/4eWnkM5

it’s honestly kind of baffling to me that most American EVs seem to have settled on ~250 miles of range because in a lot of areas that really is an issue for longer trips it was a big selling point for me when I got my lucid air - there just aren’t many options above 300

Remember when it came out that MacKenzie Scott, who has given away more of her fortune than anyone ever, is richer than before she started giving? That’s the metric by which you have to judge the levels of greed, wealth hoarding & wage suppression the wealthy engage in.

Soon-to-be-fired White House Aide: "Yes, sir, I know how much you admire what Mr. Gentile did, but you can’t give him the Medal of Freedom. Why not just commute his sentence instead? And *please* don’t call his 10,000 victims ‘suckers’ in public. Why? Oh, just trust me.”

Everyone should pay attention to this. Antivaxxers are trying to force you to get another preventable disease and they are better funded than ever. They already got one Lyme vaccine pulled from market with the same tactics of straight-up lying, & climate change keeps making Lyme a much wider problem

And if you're arrested whilst protesting the decision in Illinois, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

If you're protesting SCOTUS gutting the VRA this weekend: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WON'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT is the ONLY thing you should say to law enforcement besides identifying yourself in a stop and ID state and asking if you're free to leave.

Why have the Big 3 failed so utterly in their planned phase out of internal combustion engines? Well, it's two things, really. One is consumer sentiment - I'll get to that in a minute - and the other is government policy. The death of the $7,500 EV tax credit absolutely murdered the EV market. 5/x

After Mariela's daughter was detained, she reached out to what she thought was a Catholic Charities Facebook page, only to lose $18,000 in a scam involving a fake priest, a fake judge and another man impersonating an immigration lawyer.

"Written by Epstein before his death" is a very interesting phrase. As opposed to what?

To state the obvious: The only alternatives would be: "written by someone else after his death" or "written by someone else before his death". The latter is worse.

Anyone who wants to end birthright citizenship wants to bring back slavery. Those same people also claim non-citizens have no rights—not the right to protest against deportation, nor the right to not have police break down their doors, nor the right to defend themselves in a proceeding.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.
