Somehow missed this: A presentation to advisers for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cited study in animals suggested that use of the vaccine preservative thimerosal can have “long-term consequences in the brain.” But it looks like that study does not exist. www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/h...

Debunking RFK Jr.’s vaccine BS: No, “97% of federal vaccine advisers” are NOT on the take. No, US children DO NOT receive 92 mandatory shots. Vaccines are exhaustively tested, despite RFK Jr.’s outright lie that “nobody has any idea” how safe routine immunizations are: www.yahoo.com/news/m-physi...

I don't think people in general have wrapped their heads around just how much exploitation trans-friendly youth shelters prevent just by being affirming. If every change in this bill goes into effect, youth homelessness will explode at the exact same time every possible support ceases to exist.

This is literally exhibit A for why queer joy is so profoundly subversive. Anger is important too. But joy -- "smiling and talking and crying and laughing" -- that's what the fascists want to stamp out. That's the real challenge to their reign.

I'm sure there are caveats due here but, under this ruling, what would stop religious parents from refusing to send their kids to a school with a transgender teacher? At which point, why would a school even hire one?

It’s wild how we have to put up with school shootings every other month because of a comma in this second amendment’s text, but apparently this is still up for interpretation.

This is the problem many of us have with SCOTUS' ruling It doesn't allow Trump to do all of this, but his regime is going to act like it does SCOTUS is fully aware of this and did it anyway

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Sotomayor nails it. There's no longer anything called general public education, & kids can only be exposed to what their religious zealot parents want them to see, no matter how important or valuable the general lessons are. Math offends your religious views? You can opt your kid out. Evolution?

There's really nothing in this opinion limiting some neo-Bob Jones University types from demanding public schools stop talking about interracial marriage on religious grounds.

If this is the level of subtlety that can lead to a religious liberty violation than, as Sotomayor points out, I don't see how any person can't bring a religious liberty claim to opt out of pretty much anything. Case in point: could Christian Scientists could now opt out of any book with doctors?

I regret that I actually understand what Trump is babbling about. He's claiming that birthright citizenship promise of the 14th amendment was ONLY supposed to apply to the babies of slaves born in the US. The "same year" is about it applying to people when 14A happened. He's also completely wrong.

I mean, the ridiculous bit is how often Stephen Miller and MAGA folks focused on getting universal injunctions against Biden. So I'm assuming this is going to be another one of these "well it only applies during GOP presidency" type SCOTUS rulings.

✋ Former State Department war powers lawyer here. Some problems with the Speaker's remarks: --executive branch (even under Trump 1.0) has long treated the WPR as constitutional --some of the post-WWII military actions he refers to (eg Iraq, Afghanistan) had congressional war authorizations 1/n

Abraham Lincoln, who was not president at the time of the Dred Scott ruling, obviously did not do this. He didn’t even advocate ignoring the outcome the way the Trump administration is doing. He advocated treating it as only binding on the particular parties.

Planned Parenthood is one of the largest providers of healthcare for poor people across the country. 70% of its patients are under 150% of the poverty line. In vast parts of the country, it is the only place people on Medicaid can get reproductive care. The Supreme Court just ruled to defund it.

NEW: Trump's Justice Department has sued every federal district judge in Maryland to challenge a court order temporarily barring the government from carrying out some deportations. The move marks the administration’s latest attempt to undermine federal courts. From @jaknutson.bsky.social:
