Interview on c-span: Interviewer: To whom does the first amendment apply? Do undocumented immigrants have the five freedoms? Antonin Scalia: Oh I think so. I think anybody who's present in the United States has protections under the United States Constitution. H/t @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Help an older queer? Need recommendations for tween-appropriate shows/movies with positive queer representation. Whatcha got?

Any other clergy noticing a big uptick in folks needing help this month? SSDI and EBT benefits not working or delayed? #clergysky

If we're ending birthright citizenship, and that means we can deport people born here to immigrant parents, that means that the ending is retroactive. But how far back? Who is a citizen without it?

"The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia." Life imitates fiction. Was it ever fiction?

He'll have to get through me first.

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🧠 Any analysis of student learning that ignores COVID’s impact on sleep, focus, attention, and emotional regulation is incomplete. Nearly all kids have had at least one infection, and reinfections are common—yet research gaps persist. We can’t ignore how infection affects brain function. #Education

Yes. Go get your $$$. #Wearenotgoingback #gogetyourmoney

It's so much fun to have an AG who doesn't know her legal terms.

"That's how we're gonna win. Not fighting what we hate. Saving what we love." -Rose Tico It's easy to burn things down. It's much harder and takes longer to build. What are you building, in these days of fear and despair?

My alma mater...

Why would white South Africans qualify as refugees? Are they fleeing an inability to reinstitute apartheid?

Accessing data on personal devices be like: "But her emails!" "Eh, he's just looking for efficiency." It's almost like the problem was gender.

“They are going to deliver US citizens to a supermax prison in El Salvador” just wasn’t in my list of things that could go wrong under Trump II

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

“FAA Provides Aviation Careers to People with Disabilities,” the agency announced on April 11, 2019. The pilot program, the announcement said, would “identify specific opportunities for people w/targeted disabilities, empower them & facilitate their entry into a more diverse & inclusive workforce.”

Because to him non white/straight/cis = low IQ

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.

FOTUS: ivermectin! Internal lights! Bleach! Us: science. FOTUS: two genders! Us: science. FOTUS: [defunds science] Us: #chooseyourownadventure #timeforshenanigans

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Neurotypical brains choose appropriate social behavior over interest-curiosity. -Martha Beck, "Beyond Anxiety" ch 7 Someone please tell me why we prioritize neurotypicality, if all it does is make us passive aggressive little bots?

Earthquake off the Maine coast. Not totally unexpected but COME ON MOTHER NATURE, we're dealing with enough here without you throwing a tantrum.

Monday morning cat and yarn.

Because the forced relocation of people has gone so well before... #trailoftears #freepalestine

Just a reminder that law licenses come from the states, not the federal government. So states CAN simply disbar or otherwise discipline any lawyer who argues in favor of, say, stripping birthright citizenship by executive order or that Indigenous people aren't citizens. AND EVERY STATE SHOULD.

A sitting member of congress is calling to deport a member of the clergy for speaking in favor of LGBTQ people and immigrants. Religious freedom was always a lie.

Read Audre Lorde, Barbara Smith, Jewelle Gomez, Pat Parker, Nikki Giovanni, and Jacqueline Woodson. Watch films by Marlon Riggs and Dee Rees. Listen to Sylvester, Bessie Smith, Luther Vandross, Big Freedia, Brittany Howard, and Janelle Monae. We've always been here. We will always be here.

This time it’s a shitty law you oppose, but what about next time? What type of precedent is being set? The remedy for the TikTok ban is Congress, not handing a wannabe dictator even more power.

Wait, I thought TikTok was evil and a threat to national security. And yet they appear to be coordinating with Donald Trump to make him look good. Surely, this means he is also evil and a national security threat.

DO. NOT. OPEN. YOUR. DOOR.
