Gutting work from @pamherd.bsky.social on the brutality of Trump's anti-accessibility policies and the harm it does to our best students. Cutting accessibility is actually how you destroy merit, not promote it. Who is included in Trump's America? open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The practice of law is the least diverse profession in the United States. A supermajority of lawyers are cishet white men. We need (a lot) more diversity, not less. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

NEW: Trump's DOJ is threatening to prosecute a central New York sheriff. Why? The sheriff released a man ICE wanted to arrest, after the man completed his sentence. A constitutional scholar told us "there's no basis in the law" for such charges. But the DOJ wants to spook local officials. More:

some talking points other than the obvious if you need them: - this is governmental overreach - this increases the chances of having to strip at the airport for everyone - what about intersex people - this is wasteful and inefficient and a dumb use of government resources

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

Every single word including “the“ and “and” in what RFK Jr said is a lie. He’s not just uninformed; he makes up 100% of what he says on the spot. The “communities” would likely be more for-profit places like these “pay to be abused” facilities: www.ndrn.org/resource/des...

No, he doesn't. Randy E. Barnett and Ilan Wurman should be disbarred and removed from their positions for even saying this. There should be no mercy for people articulating this made up bullshit in the legal profession. They are enablers of fascism no different than the lawyers of the Nazi regime.
