Native American Rights Fund is using treaty obligations to sue the Trump admin over cuts to the Department of Education. Under the U.S. constitution, treaties are the supreme law of the land and in many, the federal government promised tribes it would provide their citizens with an education.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

Word didn’t save my footnotes. I’m so devastated. I’d been clicking the save button. The only thing I can think of is that is was giving me problems writing in or copy/pasting my citations (I was trying to figure out what was going on). This is complete bs.

Pretty sure I’ll be completely moving my room around soon, I can feel it. I’m not sure if anyone else feels like this, but I sleep better with my bed against the wall & it also feels easier to clean my room if it’s not separated by a bed in the middle of it.

So confused by people who say the Columbia admin was in an impossible position: they had a choice between A) fighting back and maybe winning Or B) giving in on everything and not even getting the funding back (B) sure seems like a real fucking dipshit option

Note to headline writers: stop saying “capitulate” and “cave” about Columbia administrators—try “collaborate” or “conspire” instead. “Cuckold” if you’re nasty.

Does anyone have any advice for buying compression wear? Especially if I’m planning on wearing it over the summer? Any brands or fabrics you’d recommend? Also, I feel like it’s something it’s accidentally buy too tight. I’m buying it for loose skin.

"Walz says now he should have been doing events all through last fall. He says he offered, but was told no, and in his bewildered daze, he decided to be a team player." Need to seriously start asking if these dem consultants are actively on the take, no other way to explain such uselessness

I think physicians as a group are credulous and uncritical about technology. Medical education and training does not help, either. When this AI hype first started, the worst kinds of posts I saw were from doctors. And this 👇 kind of behavior should have consequences.
