Absolutely worth the click through. I had a cite like this in a brief once as a clerk. It was from a pro se incarcerated plaintiff who described sheriffs as looking like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

If you were like, didn't the Supreme Court rule on this recently in a decision by Justice Gorsuch of all people saying yes Title VII does protect LGBTQ people, hahahaha can we just ignore SCOTUS now because I've got a pretty long to-do list if so.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

My big takeaway from tonight’s DC Bar president candidates Q&A is that Pam Bondi’s brother is exactly who you think he is, and it’s very important that DC lawyers cast our votes for @whatajlp.bsky.social by the 6/4 deadline. Search your email for “Vote Today in the D.C. Bar Election” and do it now.

Almost all pediatric influenza deaths occur in unvaccinated children. In 2020-2021 only 1 child died from flu in this country because of pandemic mitigation measures, like masking and remote schooling. You don’t hear people complain about hundreds of dead kids as much as they do about those things.

When we lived in China, foreigners made fun of insecurity/paranoia of Chinese film industry, and govt in general, because they put such a low cap on total foreign films that could be shown in Chinese cinemas per year. Day by day, Trump takes us closer to worst parts of PRC governance.

The most frustrating part about the anti trans HHS gender affirming care report is just how much of a joke it is scientifically and medically but will be given the veneer of legitimacy by the media. Medical orgs have already strongly refuted this report as biased and lacking any merit.

In most free exercise cases they at least keep up the pretense of applying a neutral principle. This is extraordinarily different. It's outright asserting special privilege for SCOTUS-favored religions over others. Anti-LGBT beliefs are to be given a favoritism no others get or coherently could get.

The Trump administration's war on higher education has already been very high-stakes, but this is a genuine escalation even from what we've already seen: trying to force accreditors to impose ideological quotas on faculty. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This so directly out of the Nazi playbook. The very obvious plan is to get rid of the independent accreditors and put all universities under jurisdiction of the federal government. This is how Hitler took over German academia and made it a wing of his party.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"
