Alito: mailing abortion medication violates The Fugitive Womb Act bsky.app/profile/stev...

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states. Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

My grandson has completed this Lego set we gave him for his birthday. We are both big fans of the Project Hail Mary book. "There are certain Lego sets I want to have in my office one day - and this is one of them."

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

So in Conway we have more school board drama. One school board member retired right now because he wanted to hand out diplomas at graduation. Because of the Arkansas Legislature, board members appointed this summer will serve until the 2028 election!! Let us ELECT our boards.

I think it’s funny and quite American that the assumption when someone says “billionaires shouldn’t exist” is that the speaker means “billionaires should be killed” rather than just taxing down their wealth 💀😅

Encountering some AI issues where someone does work in AI, the AI fails, then they want you to fix the work by hand and they expect you to do it as fast as AI failed.

We hope this post about orphaned negatives makes you gruntled. An ‘orphaned negative’ is a word that SHOULD feel like it has a related word, but doesn’t. ‘Nonchalant’ is an orphaned negative because there is no ‘chalant.’

If she does run, she will leave a trail of bodies behind her and it will be glorious.

Every day I'm reminded of this quote from Crenshaw et al. “The very same Whites who administered explicit policies of segregation and racial domination kept their jobs as decision makers in employment offices of companies, admissions offices of schools, lending offices of banks, and so on.”

It’s no longer enough that women have to worry they’ll die of sepsis while surrounded by doctors that can’t legally treat them, or that they’ll be arrested for how they dispose of their miscarriages. Now the government is using family separation as an anti-abortion weapon.

Sam Alito in Callais: the 14th/15th amendment only care about intentional discrimination! SCOTUS today: jk! not even that! (unless the “intentional” discrimination is attempting to comply with the voting rights act, in which case it’s unconstitutional intentional racial discrimination)

This Supreme Court's majority doesn't care if they cause chaos, so long as it benefits their political party.

remember when justice Alito said Milligan (the 2023 voting rights act case from AL) was TOTALLY DIFFERENT from Callais (the recent voting rights case from LA)?? 🫠🫠🫠🫠

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

Sean Duffy’s reality series is getting slammed for all of the obvious reasons, but don’t look past the fact that his show is being sponsored by companies his department oversees and regulates. In other words, it’s not just a political mess, it’s also an ethical one. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

One of my law professors, on the last day of a seminar, gave us a talk about the prevalence of alcoholism in the profession, and that we should seek out help whenever we needed to.

I just cannot get over the fact that Black voters in Memphis, the city where MLK was assassinated and led the Poor People’s Campaign, will no longer have basic representation in Congress

Virginia Gov @abigailspanberger.com and Democratic legislature should pass immediate legislation to redistrict anyway. If the old confederate states can do it post Callais - so can Dems in Virginia if they care about saving our democracy.

I remember his response to COVID in his first term. It was also based on hope that'd COVID would just go away. It cost him re-election. And yeah, FBI, I said what I said. He lost in 2020.

“This is a break glass emergency moment.” Melissa Murray says the Supreme Court’s conservative majority is using “colorblindness” to turn the Voting Rights Act on its head: treating states that try to remedy racial gerrymandering as if they’re the ones discriminating.
