“[SB 31] will not stop hospitals from prioritizing legal risks over patient health nor fully shield doctors from prosecution. This bill only exists to provide anti-abortion politicians cover for their decision to ban abortion, while still keeping care inaccessible.”

“This industry has really grown and is starting to achieve some maturity, and there’s so many good actors and quality products on the market that this [ban] is going to devastate them. This is going to devastate their livelihood.”

“Making our public schools places where kids can’t be fully accepted or don’t feel like they can talk to their teachers or be who they are is just another piece of how Republicans are attacking our public education system and changing it from what it’s supposed to do, which is serve our kids.”

DHS is arguing members of the Secret Service don't know who a U.S. Senator is, that he didn't identify himself (he does in the tape), lunged towards the Noem (not evident on the tape), and somehow all this necessitated him being hauled away, thrown to the ground and cuffed. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

It is very difficult to believe that Los Angeles’ political leadership—or California’s governor or other state officials—truly wish for ICE raids to end when they are willing to arrest the only people who are actually standing in ICE’s way. https://trib.al/35MdEc2

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hayat. Hayat is 54 and the mother of nine children (many of whom I know) including 10 year old Tala, the baby of the family. Tala is struggling with malnutrition as food has become so difficult to access in Gaza. Hayat needs help ❤️

Summary: - Dude is an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US - ICE abducts and "detains" him - Private "detention" facility has him doing farmwork - So he's still an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US, but now paid only $1 a day Nobody's been convicted of a crime or anything

The charges against Prof. Willoughby-Herard were finally dropped yesterday. She courageously defended UCI students against police stifling dissent against Israel's genocide in Gaza. I am inspired by her courage and honored to have represented her in this case. Solidarity with those who fight.

this was cute at but absolutely silly, and while I did get a few plants, they were unable to compete with the direct sown seeds I planted in March. I'll make a less haphazard and better lit seed starter next year, and hopefully it will also be cute and make nice starts while i wash dishes.

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

"They are waving flags of foreign countries and assaulting police officers" Assaulting law enforcement with American, Confederate, and MAGA flags will get you a pardon though.

This literally goes back to the French Revolution. The Right insisted that all unrest was fomented by elite actors, and were still insisting that was the truth, right through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was still a dominant narrative when George Rudé wrote to counter it in the 1950s.

To be fair it's easy to be vindicated when your commitment is "the border Gestapo are evil and should not exist" Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

NEW: Texas lawmakers are ordering all sheriff's offices to seek federal collaboration agreements with ICE. Those agreements may be limited to jailhouses—or they may convert deputies into roving immigration agents. 🧵 texasobserver.org/legislature-... w/ @gusbova.bsky.social

BREAKING: Texas lawmakers passed S.B. 37, which dramatically increases state control of public universities. Allowing politically appointed bureaucrats to police curricula and override faculty expertise is a direct threat to academic freedom in Texas.

😢SB37 is heading to the Governor’s desk. We fought hard against this bill, which dramatically increases state control over Texas public universities. It’s slightly improved, but don’t believe the bill’s supporters when they say it won’t lead to a brain drain. www.texastribune.org/2025/05/24/t...
