Can’t read it I ended my years long subscription when you capitulated to him.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

". .provoking mental health conditions that lead to anxiety, depression and suicide. In fact, rates of attempted suicide by LGBTQ youth whose parents tried to change their sexual orientation are more than double the rate of LGBTQ youth who reported experiencing no sexual orientation change efforts."

PTA has a resolution against censoring books. I’ve used it to testify against book banning bills and for bills that protect against censorship in my state.

I’m NOT saying my demographic isn’t often problematic. Just that PTA as an org is great. PTOs on the other hand. .

Yes. Join PTA! There is work being done at the local school, council, state, and national levels.

Check out PTA’s positions. If you want to learn how to get involved in Colorado, I’m happy to answer questions (especially about legislative engagement at the state level)!

With New Decree, Trump Threatens Lawyers and Law Firms A presidential memorandum aimed at lawyers everywhere struck a menacing tone.

“President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his administration in court,” Mr. Elias said. “There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.”

Broken bones, excessive force and drug overdoses: Inside Colorado’s juvenile detention facilities The reports obtained by The Post show a barrage of complaints from youth that staff used excessive force during restraints or other physical management responses at the state’s 14 facilities.

The system is broken.

I'm proud to be a PTA member. NPTA just dropped this new position statement on the Rights and Services for Children in Immigrant & Mixed-Status Families. It's not about the bake sales. It's about the advocacy. www.pta.org/home/advocac...

Going to the bookstore(s) today to distract myself was the equivalent of going to the grocery store hungry.

The Budget Stabilization Factor by another name.

Still balancing the State budget at the expense of our kids’ future while TABOR refunds flow.

2018-2021, we were taught stare decisis was key. My legal writing Prof. actually used O’Connors opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey to bring the point home.

I honestly think people are unwilling to recognize that this Court is outcome determinative and that outcome is determined by Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society.

If you think the Court is beholden to precedent after Dobbs, Bruen, and Bremerton I honestly don’t know what to tell you.

UnitedHealth officials are pointing to their CEO's murder as a reason they cannot comment on an unrelated @propublica.org investigation into the company's practice of strategically limiting access to critical treatment for kids with autism.

"We are in mourning," a spokesperson wrote.

The forced deportation of roughly five million U.S. citizen children with undocumented parents would rank among the worst atrocities this country has ever carried out.

It is also wildly illegal, not how anything works, and indicative of Trump’s ignorance to details—so balance any fears accordingly.

It wasn't until a few years later when it stopped working during 3L's adventure into the zoom school of law with a kid also remote learning that I was Dx with ADHD. I was 40!

I thought everyone relied on the procrastination, anxiety, hyperfocus cycle to get things done.

Convo from several years ago.

Me: Why do I keep doing this to myself?

Therapist: It's never burned you before so why would you change your ways.

Me: Because it's STRESSFUL and exhausting.

Therapist: But you always pull it off in the end successfully. 🤷‍♀️

Me: 😐

“[A] step up the dystopian terror scale.”

I wonder the cost of that nightmare. You know since we supposedly defunded the police and now need to divert $350M of the state budget.

It would be real nice if very influential people who essentially control how large portions of the population get their information stopped bending the knee. This is why rule #1 is "do not comply in advance."

What Trump’s Victory Means for the Private Prison Industry The two largest companies that manage detention centers and correctional facilities are poised to profit from aggressive immigration policies.

The surge in private prison stocks since Trump’s reelection highlights a stark truth: these companies' bottom line is tied directly to the expansion of mass immigrant detention.
