As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it

let me tell you, my life flashed before my eyes as I contemplated trying to purchase a new computer These Days (windows 11 the devil) (RAM one trillion dollars) (everything else also one trillion dollars)

Imperialism is a death machine that seeks to assert white supremacist and fascist control over the world. It cannot be reformed. We must uproot the very structure of the U.S. military and its accomplices in our collective struggle for liberation.

No war in Iran.
No western imperialism.

A photograph of smoke rising over Tehran, Iran.

The Israeli and US attack on Iran is morally repugnant. It is calculated only to benefit an elite of racist, Islamophobic warmongers. It will not benefit Iranians or ordinary people anywhere on earth.

We must build the grassroots capacity to interrupt the war machine or things will only get darker.

and tonight I did also learn that I've played a gossipy old man NPC so powerfully (?) that he's crossed the multiverse into one of my players' own games

plus in our post session debrief everyone engaged in the classic "gee, I hope [VILLAIN] isn't doing [NEFARIOUS PLAN I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF], that would be so bad for us!" which is always very, very funny

Refugee released by Border Patrol found dead, sparking outrage Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Border Patrol agents releasing the partially blind refugee, who went missing for days before being found dead.

"abolish ice" does in fact require defunding the police because they are the same system causing harm.
