i don't think the supreme court can be salvaged in any capacity and while the fight is certain to be long and arduous, the long-term goal of anyone concerned with ensuring the preservation of our nation's values should be seeing it demolished as an institution

Well, that's been enough crashing out over SCOTUS. Time to go back to AO3 and CP77 fanfiction.

one of the really remarkable things about America's court theocracy is that there's a total lack of accountability - no interviews, no press appearances, no elections, no actual Congressional oversight, a completely bankrupt system.

The Supreme Court is about to go on an extended summer vacation, after having blown up the docket of every single lower court judge who has been working like a dog to deal with the firehose of illegal orders coming out of this administration.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Really fucked to have a constitutionalist judiciary (generally) and an anti-constitutionalist constitutional court

The main upshot of today's birthright citizenship ruling (that I'm still making way through) seems to be that each person victimized by an unconstitutional Trump order has to pretty much sue individually. Trump is free to act unconstitutionally to everybody individually.

Yeah. I know “should evolution be taught in schools and how” is a very 2000s era argument, but imho, schools need to be sure to teach that humans are the inbred trailer park of mammals due to a genetic bottleneck so a black guy and a white guy are basically twins by the standards of other species.

Dragon Age TTRPG Shenanigans: While we wait, discussing a Tumblr poll on who would win a no-magic/orb/spirit fight between Anders and Gale. Sorry Gale, but Anders, swam-across-a-whole-lake-and-possibly-cannibalized-people Anders is going to kick your ass. Also probably use pocket sand.

Every day Trump says something so stupid and out of touch that, if a Democratic politician ever said the same thing, would become a tall tale about Dem economic literacy repeated for years.

Why did we have programs like USAID? It’s not because we’re generous givers who just give and give to other countries. It’s so we can help them stop stuff like this over there, so we don’t have to fight it here. Enlightened self interest: you should want to pay for this relatively cheap program.

Reminder to contact your doctor and change your diagnosis from whatever variant of "trans" and put "unspecified hormone disorder" or something similar

My doctor changed my diagnosis to "Endocrine Disorder" in November without me asking--because he saw the writing on the wall. Ask your doctors to do the same--Just to protect your access to life-saving medication.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just effectively overruled 90 years of precedent on the shadow docket, greenlighting Trump's firing of multi-member agency leaders while their cases are pending—despite Congress' effort to protect them against removal. A huge decision. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
