I know many lawprofs just love ideas & have been trained to consider most (all?) ideas as moot problems. The problem is that sometimes there are real life stakes

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

I really enjoy seeing traditionally, perhaps even stereotypically masculine men also be legit good dudes Earlier today JD Vance claimed our culture tries to suppress masculinity just bc men wanna tell jokes over beers; the implicit part here is that the jokes are, like Vance, bigoted and unfunny

This could be one way that the Trump administration attacks abortion access, which in red states is now largely conducted by sending pills through the mail.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is the guy who is manufacturing torture porn for the White House featuring the pain and anguish of immigrants being forcefully deported. Billy McLaughlin. Formerly heading digital for the NRA.

Does someone want to do something about the Nazis before I go full Inglourious Bastards or

🧵 NEWS: Coca-cola says rolling back DEI poses risk to business. Coke is clinging to its DEI initiatives, despite threats: Trump executive order, US Attorney General Pam Bondi, state attorneys general, EEOC chief, Stephen Miller, anti-DEI shareholder activists www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I think the energy that can be harnessed right now if someone in a leadership position wants to step up and be a leader is extraordinary.

i gotta say as a jew im not a big fan of the sieg heil coming back into vogue!!!

today and every day would be a good time for someone in the white house press corpse to ask why donald trump pardoned more pedophiles than any president in american history

NEW: While the agency is allowing disability discrimination probes to resume, the Trump administration’s investigation shutdown still applies to cases of alleged civil rights violations based on race and gender, according to a memo obtained by ProPublica.

think of yarden bibas. my god.

Omg Now what?

NEW: Elon Musk and SpaceX have taken control of part of Texas. In the town of Brownsville, one of the poorest communities in America, Musk sold hope. Instead, SpaceX caused earthquakes, workplace injuries, and displacement. And now they've built a company town too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cZE...

I bet a tiktok dj could do this

Why aren't (most) Democrats responding as is required to the hostile takeover of our government? They are presently only hearing from their customers (voters) and not the people who hired them (donors). Corporate America is so far quiet about the coup. Want Dems to step up? Pressure their donors.

It's called a boycott

Just called Gov. Hochul at 518-474-8390 and left a message with a staffer for her that started with "Where the fuck do you get off?", identified this as a power grab for Albany, and ended with me politely thanking the staffer for conveying the message, so I think I'm taking all of this pretty well.

Three buses just blew up overnight in Israel near Tel Aviv, with nobody on board two of them (third also possibly empty, not yet confirmed). Other bombs since discovered. Odds are they were supposed to explode in the morning when commuters were on them for a huge mass casualty attack.

oh god what

Some federal workers have started to express their grievances at Tesla locations. In San Francisco federal workers and others staged a protest against DOGE cuts outside a Tesla showroom. Musk and Trump have now laid off up to 220,000 federal employees. www.ktvu.com/news/federal...

Worse than appeasement. Appeasement is making concessions under threat, hoping that will avoid war (which is usually naive; they'll demand more). After 3 years of war and a million casualties, it's not appeasement. Trump is trying to help Russia's aggression achieve what Russia's military could not.

Not only do these airlines want to be able to treat people with disabilities terribly, they are trying to say that the government doesn’t have the power to regulate conditions of commercial air travel. First they’re coming for people with wheelchairs but if they get their way they won’t stop there

Texas increased the rate of sepsis in pregnancy by 70%

Republicans will lie and claim it’s not because of the abortion bans, but it absolutely is: “The surge in this life-threatening condition, caused by infection, was most pronounced for patients whose fetus may still have had a heartbeat when they arrived at the hospital”

is the us federal government one of them

endless screaming

How awful the deaths of Israeli and Palestinian children are.

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

New and devastating reporting from my colleagues showing just how dangerous it has become to be pregnant and in Texas after the state banned abortion. Please read and share: www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Heartbroken. Even though we have long suspected they were gone. This image has been seared on the inside of my eyelids since Oct 7. I see them every time I close my eyes. RIP Shiri, Kfir and Ariel, & all the other innocent victims. May we some day be able to honor your loss with peace & rebuilding.

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.

Hey all! Pissed about the upswing of christofascism? What a perfect moment to donate to the Abortion Rights Fund of Western Massachusetts! fund.nnaf.org/campaign/abo...

Congestion pricing is still in effect. The Trump admin merely announced an intention to withdraw approval from at some point in the future, and the MTA has already gone to court to attempt to torpedo that attempt.

"For him to cancel congestion pricing is insane. It just shows that he doesn’t really care about New Yorkers," said one straphanger. "He's a scumbag," said another.

governor hochul, at long last, welcome to the resistance
