the national "fell for it again" awards competition has come to southern missouri. big fan of watching people delude themselves that this isn't what they voted for while the guy next to them smiles and speaks the truth: yes you did, you just feel bad about it now.

Judge Terence Evans seat on the 7th Circuit was kept open by the Republicans for 8 years from 2010 - 2018. Four of those years 2010-2014 Democrats controlled the Senate. Dems allow & enable this.

This country's dead.

The problem is Democrats don't refuse to use all available options(abolishing filibuster, expanding the court) when they possess power, then Republicans use any means possible (holding open SCOTUS seat, Trumps EOs) to accomplish their goals & Dems just shrug & refuse to do the same thing.

Because conservatives don't think other people are equal to them, so they don't treat them how they would like to be treated.

Rahm one of many people with a great deal of power in the Democratic Party pretty sure their problems are the fault of people with the least

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

Call your senator & ask them to do this.

"It's a distraction" doesn't work to confront anti-trans attacks. Nor does remaining silent. Voters must hear the WHY behind the what Republicans are doing - how this furthers their authoritarian aims to control all who do not look/live/love like them.

How the police treats people in a "free country".

The treatment of trans people by the U.K. and U.S. governments often takes the form of state-sanctioned sexual harassment and assault. Contrary to the idea that this protects women from sexual violence, it demands it. Giving officers access to women’s bodies ensures it

The oligarchs just sit there hoarding wealth, buying homes for fun, and calling it “the market” when we can’t afford the basics just to survive. We made them rich buying their junk, and their big idea to fix society? Let us fight each other and starve. It's cheaper that way. #EatTheRich

There are so many important passages in this resounding defeat of the Trump EO against the Jenner & Block law firm. This passage from page 19, fn 12 was particularly resonant for me, not only for what it says but for which amici said it.

Mady's one of the best reporters on trans stories.

I’m in a movie with @lavernecox.bsky.social, @chasestrangio.bsky.social, @erininthemorning.com & many other incredible people! From Disclosure director Sam Feder, Heightened Scrutiny tracks the rise of trans care bans in the US. Find showtimes: www.heightenedscrutinydoc.com

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!
