I wanted to try and figure out how Neil Gorsuch concluded that 'Pride Puppy', an ABCs book about a lost dog at a pride parade that he insists he read, exposes kids to "bondage" and "sex workers." The answers are somehow even dumber than you can imagine. A brief thread:

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

I've lived democratic backsliding & authoritarianism across multiple countries. I've watched repression creep across staff planning sessions & editorial rooms, from both the left & right. The #1 way it happens? Self-censorship. Before your opponents ever censor you, self-professed allies do.

I think Republicans should stop being cowards. If they want to get rid of DEI, do it! Get rid of the Senate!! Why should we give equal voice to states with a minority of the country’s population???

Manhattan’s U.S. attorney resigned just days after being ordered to drop the corruption case against New York City’s mayor. So did the two men who led the unit in DC to which DOJ sought to transfer the case. This is what public integrity looks like.

Mitch McConnell: a lesson that there is such a thing as too late to start doing the right thing. "Better late than never" is in this case true in only the most trivial and insignificant of senses.

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

Forty years ago today, this album was released. Somewhat later, a friend lent me a cassette of "Meat Is Murder" and that was my introduction to The Smiths. It's too bad that Morrissey has turned out to be a fascist shitwipe, but I still love The Smiths' music. ❤️

Some of these are Supreme Court decisions that the executive and legislative branches may not be able to simply reverse. And doubling the minimum wage isn't nearly enough. A living wage a couple of years ago was about three times the minimum wage. And it must be indexed to inflation. But yes. 👍

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.
