If the federal Executive Branch is going to repeatedly violate the law by withholding appropriated funds that they owe to state and local governments, and the other federal branches don't stop them, at some point the state and local govts will feel compelled to withhold money they owe the feds.

This is functionally a robbery of New York City and New York State taxpayers, who contribute billions more to the federal government annually than we get back.

Stealing our money, blocking our bus lanes.

also laziest dog playing ever

“Every parade has the right to exist” - Curtis Silwa

No surprise that someone who signed up for Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team doesn't know the occupation is illegal.

“I did not bring those lawsuits” — Cuomo’s response when asked about the $60 million of taxpayer money spent defending him from sexual harassment and corruption charges

Big Tech’s A.I. Data Centers Are Driving Up Electricity Bills for Everyone

I feel like regulating data centers' energy grid impacts is such a layup for state legislators. These costs should be borne by tech companies, who can then pass them on to their users. There is no reason why local residents should be paying increased energy bills.

Hands Off! – Spectre Journal Nate Holdren argues that both Trump and the legalistic opposition to his "lawlessness" are varieties of the same law-and-order politics.

"Campuses are demarcated battlegrounds in the struggle for democracy and against fascism. Every day we choose how to show up." 🔥🔥

Movement Law Under Fascism As fascist tendencies intensify across the United States, social movements continue to organize against the forces of state repression. Legal scholars must stand with these movements…

Today, Amna Akbar, @sameer-ashar.bsky.social, and @jocelynsimonson.bsky.social reflect on how legal scholars might act in solidarity with people already resisting state repression, and what they could learn from doing so.

Zohran is not AOC, I hope this helps

OMG that is insane and also *the worst* noise

JB Pritzker looking at prosecuting ICE agents in Chicago Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has suggested that state prosecutors might examine the conduct of ICE agents.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

I feel like choice of Barack Obama as Marc Maron’s final guest means it was indeed time for it to end (give me Eddie Pepitone or Dave Attell or some comic I’ve never heard of any day over Obama)

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education Multiple sources tell NPR that, as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

I can't get over the cruelty of targeting special ed for layoffs. even my libertarian dad will tell you that special ed programs are one of the most important things the federal government ever did.

Gaza Still Needs You This fight is not over.

Wrote about the temptation to put Gaza on the back burner now that the ceasefire is solidifying—and why we can't let that happen. Gaza still needs you, and me, and everyone to fight until real Palestinian liberation is won. www.discourseblog.com/p/gaza-still...

NYT - Hamas holds hostages, while Israel holds prisoners. The racist dehumanization of Palestinians in the NYT is so deeply embedded that the paper would probably spontaneously combust if its writers and editors treated Palestinians as human beings equal to their Jewish Israeli counterparts.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
