HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out.

The fact that Imane Khelif was identified at birth as female, raised female and was physiologically understood to be female right up until someone DNA tested her 2 years ago proves that the entire concept of biological sex is a moving goal post based on what authorities want to change it to.

Sooner or later (& probably sooner rather than later), these unfavorable ratings would translate into policies & diplomatic positions. Israelis, whose brains haven’t been eaten by religious zealotry & extremism, have been worried about this trend for a long while. And it’s gotten worse over time.

My father was a hypermasculine, traditional man. One day, he met a flaming gay dude who had helped me through a horrifying bout of depression. He cried afterwards and said, “I didn’t understand, but he was there, he held you.” Anyway. People change.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

It may seem well-meaning to say that a person's orientation or identity "doesn't matter to you," but rest assured it matters a great deal to them. Respect this, stand with them, support and honor them in their pride.

Thread, up and down. This is what I meant the other day about how the term "AI" muddies conversations. There are ethical uses of machine learning and other technologies that get called "AI." In counter-abuse, machine classification is an essential tool.

The Department of Justice caring about what happens at a student-run law review is like the Department of Commerce regulating sales among NPCs in Baldur’s Gate 3. There must be a limit to the number of clown shoes available, but plenty of people seem to be wearing them these days.
