My state of Missouri can testify, 400,000 will be hurt in the Medicaid cuts in the #MAGAMurderBudget missouriindependent.com/2025/06/17/e...

On techtonic.fm this week I told listeners, NEVER use WhatsApp (unless you're forced to for work or whatever). Instead, use @signal.org or the other non-WhatsApp services I mentioned. Click "pop-up player" to listen to the show: www.wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

There were hit songs about kicking the asses of foreign nations.

Some news: WE ARE HIRING!!!!!!!!!! Working at @lawfaremedia.org is like being adopted by a very quirky, very nerdy, highly accomplished family—all of whom are obsessed with writing about the law. Sound like your people? Come join us. We’re fun!!!

I mean, if E=MC^2 and E=MC^2+AI, then AI must equal nothing. It's not wrong.

This framing exists because the decision is instantly obvious as one of the legal atrocities of US history, like Dred Scot, the 1870s Civil Rights Cases, Korematsu. The Times doesn’t want to say “The Supreme Court stripped rights out of law” so instead it says “Here’s why they did it to themselves”

It was always about, “‘Medical freedom’ for me but not for thee.” Supplements, refusing vaccines, and quackery Freedom! How dare anyone tell us what medicine we can and can’t use! Women’s health care and gender-affirming care for trans youth? Now wait a minute! It’s wrong, and you can’t have it!🙄

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social ) #Juneteenth

Running the exact same playbook that they used for Iraq?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Being yelled at from the left, more so than being yelled at from the right, carries an implication that maybe you are not as much of a Good Person as you thought you were. This suggestion sets a certain kind of person into a death spiral of self-justification that ends in a bad place.

On repeat

The law doesn't "restrict access." It bans care. This decision is incredibly disappointing and dangerous for trans communities across the country. Trans people deserve to feel safe and get the medical care they need.

ST. CHARLES COUNTY — Facing vocal opposition from residents, the St. Charles County library board has tabled a proposal that critics worried would give unelected board members the authority to remove books from the library.

I honestly do not care if I am in the majority or not on this. Civil rights (which are human rights) are a non-negotiable. If it is unpopular for some people to exist and to thrive we have a lot of education to do and sometimes education is not calm and chill.

So does he think the Confederacy should have dropped a nuke on DC or the Union should have dropped one on Richmond?

The Republican Party has made *bullying children* one of its top political priorities. www.cnn.com/2025/06/18/p...

Fuck these fascists. Protect trans kids.

This is actually the second decision from the Roberts court endorsing plessy-like reasoning. The first was Dobbs. bsky.app/profile/jame...

How do people who grew up during the Civil Rights era not understand that this is also a civil rights issue? If Schumer were senator in 1968, I feel like he'd complain that desegregation was a GOP attempt to distract from "kitchen table issues"

I've seen this top post circulating, but the thread indicates that the stop-work order does not take effect until July 17- if you or someone you know needs help today in the wake of today's awful SCOTUS ruling, I believe this resource is still available today or you can chat, text, or call directly

yeah baby the old iraq war hits ARE BACK

If you've read that Atlantic story by Annie Lowrey about why ranked choice voting sucks, I'm telling you she's wrong. And I know this because I did something in 2017 Annie did not for this story - I talked to a mathemtician.

Homan is definitely testing the waters to arrest more elected Dems very soon. his job will be all the easier considering how national party leaders still aren't treating our democratic crisis like a democratic crisis

It's not just LLMs and natural language use. It's any technology. Algorithms that bump up interest rates in loans or discriminate in hiring based on applicants' names. Search result page that links to complete hoax sources. GPS that directs you into a dead end. The default is to trust tech.

New Yorkers, by which I mean Avengers, assemble:

A week after 75 Dems vote for a resolution expressing gratitude toward ICE in a resolution that pretended to be about antisemitism, ICE goons arrest the Jewish comptroller of NYC without cause.

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

A new executive order from Donald Trump allows VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats and unmarried veterans. Doctors, nurses, and others can also be denied employment at the VA if they are Democrats or unmarried. These new guidelines have already been implemented in some medical centers.
