We encountered an ICE immigration enforcement action on Park Ave. in Minneapolis today. When my colleague Ben Hovland and I arrived there were only a couple observers, but there were dozens blowing whistles by the time ICE agents left without making an arrest.

Big VA-2 news as former Rep. Elaine Luria might jump in

Imagine last night’s results and possible Redistricting influences decision

Luria was first elected during the first Trump midterm in 2018

The party that has won VA-2 has been in House majority every election since 2008

reading this immediately met my entire quota of "devastating things I can absorb on Wednesday" so logging off

Democrats flip two seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission • Georgia Recorder Democrats have flipped two seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission, which is currently an all-GOP panel. The PSC regulates Georgia utilities.

"The wins come as the cost of electricity has become a major consumer issue. The defeated Republican incumbents had voted to approve six rate increases over the last two years, resulting in an estimated average increase of about $500 per year for the average household."

Public power is inevitable.

ok sure. you hate andrew cuomo because he’s an unlikable slimy creepazoid with an adversarial relationship to the people he would govern…..but what if i told you a bunch of other slimy creeps with identical worldviews said to vote for him. does that change your mind

Dick Cheney Was Doing War Crimes in Exactly the Right Way, by Ezra Klein.

Woke up early and jumped on grindr to message the girls that Dick Cheney is dead so that they learn in the funniest possible way

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

They are just fucking freaking out over Mamdani and it’s incredible, from, like, an anthropological perspective.

This rules! Is this why so many of my friends have been going to Glasgow?

moon palace books presents tuck Woodstock in conversation with dr Cassius Adair, monday 11/10 at 6pm, rsvp required! plus the cover of the book Sex Change and the City (edited by Tuck Woodstock and Niko Stratis) and a cute picture of slightly younger cass and tuck being friends.

The best possible outcome for Trump on compacts is a record of 1-1-7. Relegation numbers in the fascism league table.

a very cute picture of a younger Tuck and Cass, with text in Comic Sans-adjacent font that says "come see tuck and Cass talk about Sex Change and the city in minneapOLIs at moon palace books on monday, nov 10 at 6pm! tuck is gonna make Cass watch one SATC episode before the event if you have any suggestions of iconic episodes."

On Mon, Nov 10, I'll be at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social in Minneapolis, chatting about Sex Change and the City with @cassiusa.bsky.social. Cass has never seen SATC but he has a PhD in trans books or something so that's fine right?

Cite as: 607 U. S. _ _ (2025) 1 Statement of ALITO, J. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES JONATHAN LEE, ET AL. U. POUDRE SCHOOL DISTRICT R-1 ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT No. 25-89. Decided October 14, 2025 The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. Statement of JUSTICE ALITO, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS and JUSTICE GORSUCH join, respecting the denial of certiorari. I concur in the denial of certiorari because petitioners do not challenge the ground for the ruling below. But I remain concerned that some federal courts are "tempt[ed]" to avoid confronting a "particularly contentious constitutional ques-tion]": whether a school district violates parents' fundamental rights "when, without parental knowledge or con-sent, it encourages a student to transition to a new gender or assists in that process." Parents Protecting Our Chil-dren, UA v. Eau Claire Area School Dist., 604 U. S. (2024) (ALITO, J., dissenting from denial of certio-rari) (slip op., at 1-2) (citing Troxel v. Granville, 530 U. S. 57, 70 (2000) (plurality opinion)). Petitioners tell us that nearly 6,000 public schools have policies-as respondent allegedly does-that purposefully interfere with parents' access to critical information about their children's gender-identity choices and school personnel's involvement in and influence on those choices. Pet. for Cert. 24. The trou-bling-and tragic-allegations in this case underscore the "great and growing national importance" of the question that these parent petitioners present. Parents Protecting Our Children, 604 U. S., at _ (slip op., at 1).

NEW: The Supreme Court will not hear a case over a Colorado school district’s alleged actions discouraging disclosure of students’ gender identity to the students’ parents.

The case was a bad vehicle for considering the issue, even Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch note.

College lectures may not always be engaging, but in the past, students still had to go (or borrow notes from a classmate). Now that many lectures are available to view remotely, Dr. Wolf-Wendel added, professors have to try harder to draw students into the classroom.

This is just another higher ed hit piece, but I was dinged in my tenure case for not recording my classes. I don't record them for pedagogical reasons, but also because I don't want to go viral & receive death threats for saying that black people also deserve rights. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...
