Welp, HUD published the Rescission of Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Regulations notice in the FR. Exceeds to the scope of the Fair Housing Act? Pretty sure the AFFH is part of the Act.

On May 7, just 28 minutes after a U.S. appeals court ordered that a Salvadoran man not be removed from the United States, the Trump administration deported him to El Salvador. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

It means he’s a Republican.

Glad to see my city, county and state on here.

I put on navy blue leggings instead of black leggings when my glasses were off and then left the house. I do not match. Oh well.

Former police officer takes Email Job and immediately crumbles, describing the mere act of going to an office every day as a Herculean act of strength and discipline.

"Roughly 1,500 babies have been born HIV-positive every day since January 21, because Musk cut off their mothers’ medication." prospect.org/power/2025-0...

"Using ChatGPT to write a study on the dangers posed to children by the irresponsible misuse medicine and technology and then just running it up there" is an incredible bit of satire, sadly. One so good that everyone involved should be thrown into comedy prison! Or just regular prison is also fine.

I resent everyone who have made this...throuple thing trend this morning. What a thing to wake up to in my feed. Gag.

Musk is out (or so he says). But the DOGE mindset remains, evident in gutted agencies and a demoralized workforce. “Nobody else in the world is doing this kind of thing. And it’s basically going to get shelved.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

currently in a fight with the oversized chihuahua. she won't move from my side of the bed, and I'm falling off.

@autisticadvocacy.org condemns MAHA Commission report: "Rather than engaging the autistic community or other disabled communities about what our true health needs are & how to address them, this report focuses on directing fear & disgust towards our community." autisticadvocacy.org/2025/05/asan...

US Court of International Trade just issued decision in case against Trump tariffs filed by Liberty Justice Center and me. All "Liberation Day"/IEEPA tariffs ruled illegal, and blocked by injunction! See link for opinion. I will have much more to say soon: www.cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/fi...

Cry me a fucking river.

i really think this is more about Newsom wanting to do it than it is about being scared of Trump

NPR has sued Trump to block his illegal and unconstitutional order to freeze federal funding that Congress has already approved just because he doesn’t like their coverage.

"From this course of conduct, it is hard to come to any conclusion other than that Defendants invite lack of clarity as a means of evasion." Yikes.

Be on alert as it is likely that he has already been rehired.

If a former Israeli prime minister can say this, what is stopping European leaders?

"You guys are trash and this is trash." That's what Phoenix cops told a homeless man before tossing his belongings. Last June, the Justice Dept found systemic abuse: illegal arrests, excessive force. Now Trump's DOJ is retracting those findings, greenlighting more violence against unhoused people.

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

This is retaliatory, because their leaders dared speak out against ICE detentions.

People who wander around the grocery store with no list and/or in a haphazard way (criss crossing, instead of methodically, aisle by aisle) are monsters. MONSTERS!

Under pressure from immigrants' rights advocates, San Francisco quit a sensitive data-sharing program with ICE. But neighboring Alameda County, home to Oakland and Berkeley, remains in the program and is still feeding information to federal authorities. boltsmag.org/alameda...

i want a covid booster tbh

I need to be reminded on a regular basis that I do not need more plants.

They overruled Humphrey’s Executor on the shadow docket. A foundational New Deal case and 90 years of precedent wiped out in half a paragraph.

Someone should bring me a cookie.

Cannot sleep. Quick, someone give me something very dry to read.

i say this not to make an unfair comparison but to i think to accurately describe it: this is middle passage shit. kidnapping followed by human trafficking to foreign and dangerous lands.

There is no need for Medicaid work requirements because almost everyone who can work is working. What we are getting instead is Medicaid work *reporting* requirements, where people lose coverage because of administrative burdens.

It's 9:06. I'm in bed. This is what full-time in the office gets me.

Any journalist that is focusing on Biden's cancer still today is committing malpractice. There is so much important shit going on that people need to know about and it is not this.

SCOTUS is up next and frankly they need to specifically direct this admin to bring everyone back. They also need to step in and say the US can’t deport people into foreign prisons at its own behest
