Patreon post header graphic for "Shouldn't Need to Be a Lawyer" by Matthew Cortland, dated 03/04/2026. Title reads: "Steven Pinker Helped Epstein's Lawyers Argue Sex Trafficking Wasn't Sex Trafficking. The NYT Just Gave Him a Platform to Argue Disability Isn't Disability."

In 2007, Steven Pinker argued that "entice" didn't mean entice, to defend child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. In 2026, he's arguing that "disability" doesn't mean disability, and the New York Times is letting him do it without mentioning his history.

Oh boy!!

Anti-trans panic is being used to smuggle in an assumption that kids are not credible witnesses of their own internal lives. That assumption doesn't just hurt trans kids, but will be weaponized against gay kids, sexual abuse victims, and kids suffering mental health issues.

As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible

They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.

Now that he’s started a war, I’ve completely forgotten that he’s a pedophile.

Graham is framing bombing Iran as religious liberation. His rhetoric is fuelled by his theology.

I am watching Jamal fade in front of me. His diabetes weakens his body, and asthma steals his breath. We urgently need $1000 for insulin and inhalers to keep him alive. I am begging you—please don’t let him die because we couldn’t afford medicine. Help save Jamal.

In 1923, SCOTUS held that US taxpayers do not have standing to sue the government for their taxes being spent in an illegal or unconstitutional manner. SCOTUS said it would violate Separation of Powers if taxpayers could sue to control how taxes were spent.

That's been US law ever since.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

Read it again. We killed 85 schoolgirls this morning.

It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Tonight, at Law Dork:

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

Trump’s private, for-profit detention centers are putting babies into medical distress.

Families are having to line up outside for hours in freezing temperatures or rain for each dose of medicine.

This is sick — no child should be treated this way.

Let's not mince words here. Forcing trans youth to join under their sex assigned at birth is a de facto ban, if not a de jure one.

Heroic Chicago trans comedian recalls saving infant from ice-cold Lake Michigan: ‘I guess I’m going in’ “The most important part of this entire story is that the baby is okay,” Lio Cundiff told The Advocate.

NEW BY ME: I spoke with Lio Cundiff, the 31-year-old transgender comedian in Chicago who saved a baby.

He’s a cool dude who’s down to earth and embarrassed by the attention.
