Blaming mother for child’s disabilities is a tired trope. Not news.

BREAKING: Judge dismisses lawsuit filed by fired UPenn law professor Amy Wax. Judge Timothy Savage (GHWBush) says Wax hasn't shown racial discrimination and her speech-related claims are not protected under federal law. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I learned today that Ohio State faculty can’t put a land acknowledgement statement in their syllabus and that we can’t ask students to voluntarily disclose their pronouns. #firstamendment #ohiostate

OSU has a banned words list for multimedia postings: Diversity DEI/DEIJ (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion/Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice) Equity Implicit bias Inclusion Inclusive Excellence Racial justice Social justice Underrepresented/underprivileged/underserved Antiracism #censorship

What will it take for the Supreme Court’s conservatives to acknowledge the obvious political reality that many state legislatures and the Trump administration HATE transgender people and consider them subhuman? The death of transgender people is on their dirty hands. All of them. I am so disgusted.

Canadian actress held by ICE for 12 day. OMFG 😡😡😡 youtu.be/ve1SUlzh7vo?...

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

The NY judge in charge of the criminal case against Mayor Adams is Dale Ho — former ACLU lawyer who Republicans tried to keep off the court. Sweet!!

www.10tv.com/video/news/p... I am the first clip after the intro. Fun interview on Trump’s atrocities.

Remember when courts said Biden overstepped his authority when he tried to rescind some student loan debt? Are those courts going to rein in Trump’s outrageous overreach? Waiting …

Trump ban on gender affirming care extends to age 19. They are coming after adults. States have historically defined age of consent for health care. But states rights are out the window under Trump.

In case you missed it, Trump is now blaming the hiring of disabled people for the airline crash. Of course.

There is no need to apologize for being a decent human with love for the Lord and fellow humans. Good on her for following the Lord and telling Lord Dump Truck off in such a beautiful, Godly way. She is my new hero.

Do not let them in unless they have a warrant signed by a judge. A criminal warrant. Not an ICE warrant. Leave the door shut.

Not getting attention but Trump administration is beginning to dismantle disability accessibility. Waiting for ramps to start being removed both figuratively and literally.

Trump’s gender executive order makes everyone female by defining sex “at conception.” Guess we just elected our first female President!

The real headline from today’s Trump case is that 4 Justices are completely in Trump’s pocket. Their immunity ruling was as broad as it seemed.

www.salon.com/2024/12/10/i... Great article about transgender case. It’s all about the cruelty. And has implications for sex discrimination doctrine.

I had a memory today. I was 4, and awake in hospital after eye surgery. My eyes were bandaged shut. My arms were tied to bed. I was terrified. But my mother said that a cousin had lent me a phonograph player so I could listen to music in hospital. I went from sad to happy in an instant. #disability

BREAKING: Federal judge rejects a challenge to the use of race in Naval Academy admissions policies. The lawsuit was brought by the group that successfully sued to end race-conscious admissions policies in colleges. In that opinion, SCOTUS noted that it was not ruling regarding service academies.

Listening to oral argument, I am struck by Kavanaugh’s stupidity. No, the Constitution doesn’t come with rule book saying what are correct outcomes. It requires Court to protect groups from discrimination. He wants to abdicate that role. Sort of like Senate abdicating its role to advise and consent.

This is the energy we will need!!

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the landmark lawsuit, U.S. v. Skrmetti. The case could have major impacts on the trans community, bodily autonomy, and the future of our movement. Tune in tomorrow, December 4th, starting at 10 a.m. EST: www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

I wonder if states will next try to ban gay men from men’s bathrooms and ban lesbians from women’s bathrooms. Patriarchal fragility.

If Joe really wanted to piss off MAGA he should resign and let Kamala take over so all their 47 merch becomes worthless.

“Trump’s election has raised questions inside the Pentagon about what would happen if the president issued an unlawful order, particularly if his political appointees inside the department don’t push back.” More likely to be when, not if. www.cnn.com/2024/11/08/p...

No mother “accidentally” tells her son he’s a piece of shit when it comes to women.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

This is pretty funny.

1/ 🧵 This is why Black folks are fresh out of fu@ks! We managed to vote for Harris, and we would have voted for Biden. We understood what was at stake. We knew we had to vote for our survival, not the perfect. As always, we took it seriously and spread the word within our families and communities.

Again: the folks who run Bluesky actually use Bluesky and that makes so much difference

This book has become more timely than ever

Another Republican policy success.

This! A big part of what is going on right now is an effort to get you to give up. The most meaningful step you can take right now—the first one towards preserving our freedom—is to refuse to do it. Don't give up.

NEW: It was, perhaps, inevitable, but it is notable that even in the face of the past four years, Special Counsel Jack Smith still took an institutionalist's path in moving to dismiss the two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump on Monday. Today, at Law Dork:

REPUBLICANS—IS THIS PRO-LIFE⁉️ A third woman died under Texas’ abortion ban. Doctors are avoiding D&Cs and using riskier miscarriage treatments to avoid fines or losing their licenses.

Has anyone created a disability starter list. I looked for people who had #pwd or #disability in their bio but I’m sure I missed a lot of great people.

Does Speaker Johnson really want Sarah McBride to use the men’s restroom? Maybe she should follow him into the men’s restroom and see how he reacts.
