The idea that any idea, no matter how factually incorrect, is appropriate to make if it's well-argued may be the very center of legal education's responsibility for what is happening now to the rule of law.

A hallmark of conspiracy theories is obsession with cover-ups and "censorship" over actual evidence of their core claims. If kids were being rushed into surgeries, these articles would show it! Instead they are relitigating arcane academic drama about a review not getting published.

A Virginia guy hunted a Latino man, cornered him, questioned him, and then shot him and his friend, because he assumed the guy was an undocumented immigrant. He was radicalized by Fox News etc. and, of course, Trump. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

i really can't get over what rank choice voting does to the dynamic of campaigns and between candidates regardless of its merits (which seem very good), it's just a healthier political dynamic

there was a concerted elite effort over the past five years to make America as bigoted as possible, conducted so openly that Chris Rufo was simultaneously tweeting "i am going to be lying about this subject" and being quoted on the precise subject he declared that he was lying about in the NYT

NEW: Data shows that as of June 15, fully 30% of all people arrested by ICE and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. 11,763 people in detention as of last Sunday had no criminal record and were arrested inside the country by ICE -- an increase of 4,000 people in two weeks!

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

Seeing so many people gleefully celebrating bombs hitting Tel Aviv is gross. I've seen Palestinians massacred for nearly two years by Israeli bombs and munitions. I want it all to stop and people to live safely, not the same thing to happen to Israelis. Don't let war hollow out your soul.

Today has just been "We killed Chevron deference for a reason" day at the SCOTUS. And that reason, of course, was that the Republican justices want to destroy the environment and help tobacco companies.

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

As Trump barrels toward a possible direct war with Iran, the most powerful Democrats in Congress are issuing statements that are at best tepid and confusing. At worst, they are cheering escalation. By me and @ahjohnson.bsky.social theintercept.com/2025/06/19/d...

It’s a failure of journalism to do shit like this. Donald Trump has said that something will happen “within two weeks” at least 5,000 times in the past decade with easily over 4,900 of those “deadlines” passing with no action.

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

“Vote on thimerosal containing influenza vaccines” means they are planning to take away influenza vaccines from the most disadvantaged people. Thimerosal (thiomersal) is only in multi-dose flu vaccines. It’s not in single-dose, prefilled shots. It’s also been proven completely safe since the 1990s.

The ban on gender affirming care for trans kids that the Court upheld as constitutional today in Skrmetti is so obviously unconstitutional that John Roberts basically just writes 20something pages of buffoonery ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/skrme...

The article frames Skrmetti as a poor strategic gamble by activists. In reality, Tennessee passed a categorical ban applicable solely to transgender adolescents which was framed in sex-based terms. The choices were (a) challenge it or (b) concede defeat in advance and abandon trans teens nationwide.

Seemingly lost in all of the NYT coverage is that what the Supreme Court did was effectively lower the evidentiary bar that state's have to meet to justify their bans. The lower courts that applied heightened scrutiny universally blocked the bans.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

the President is like 30 seconds away from bombing Tehran and the VP is doing transphobic own-the-libs shitposting on Bluesky (yes, this is a real account he just set up). This is ridiculous man. Like a reverse Dick Cheney where the VP has no power and is being totally sidelined on foreign policy.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status." SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status" Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.
