Two headlines in the New York Times today.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

this is a golden age for walking out of your lab with a USB key in your pocket getting on a plane and going to Luxembourg

This is really bad. www.siouxlandproud.com/news/south-d...

The real story after the tariffs are imposed is to watch who Trump gives waivers to, and what they did to get them.

so this unelected, unconfirmed*** has thrown people's lives into chaos without any oversight (such as it is?) www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

All those federal workers who were asked to resign? they're the ones who know how to process the checks, use the outdated software, keep the trains running. UGH

Can't imagine how ppl thought themselves exempt from his toxicity but we're here are. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trying to remember our future is invented, built day by day...not inherited or predetermined.

I wonder if the ppl who voted for T. wanted Elon as prez? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Has anyone commented on the sheer weirdness of the richest man ever trying to cut down government spending, as if pennies for children, dimes for the environment, are something he and we can't afford? The endless greed of extractivists..... #dogeshit
