mom can you pick me up, they’re trying to astroturf gavin newsom as the democratic nominee again and I’m scared

the big homie smoking his pipe

man they sure are showing a lot of semaglutide ads during Love Lies Bleeding of all things

1) Yes, obviously this is what this is actually about.

2) Academic freedom and, more to the point, standards are supposed to render this approach ineffective. Their abandonment in order to throw trans people under the bus is catastrophic.

I think it’s definitely fair to argue from his writings and diaries that Hemingway has an interest in gender fluidity or transformation that is not simply a sexual game

And it does certainly pose categorical questions given how the social definitions and terminology changed, though I think that’s why the author emphasizes that they’re using “transgender” in the broadest possible sense

whoa!

the silence = death shirt is a nod to ACTUP & i’m in my office where in the background is a fan that’s rainbow & says END HIV

today is the first time since 1988 that the united states is not observing world AIDS day

in fact, per STAT, the state department has forbidden federal employees AND GRANTEES to not utilize any funding to promote or commemorate this day

Whoa

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case."

This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

the cia using people and throwing them away was never a good idea.

"[T]he U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles (a sanctuary city) created a special inter-agency unit for finding people that are incarcerated in local jails, issuing federal arrest warrants to charge them with immigration crimes ... and then arresting them out of the local jail for a federal crime."

ICE is horrific...and also an extension of how policing has always worked, not a radical break from it.

It does seem to be correct that he will not pursue impeachment. It may be because he thinks it’s a lost cause with a GOP majority but that’s what he’s saying. Maybe someone should follow up by asking him if he would pursue impeachment if he becomes majority leader

As explained further below, however, your status as an inferior officer under Article II of the Constitution renders you an “at-will” employee, and your removal is beyond the purview of Title VII. Regarding your client’s claim that her employment as an Immigration Judge was terminated, this decision was a lawful exercise of the Attorney General’s authority under Article II of the Constitution. Article II of the Constitution allows the President and heads of departments exercising his power to remove inferior officers without cause, subject to only narrow exceptions that do not apply to your former position. No statute provides otherwise, and even if it did, the statute would run afoul of Article II.

DOJ says immigration judges, as "inferior officers," may be fired on the basis of sex, religion, race, or national origin. Leaving aside the law, it's *politically* remarkable they're taking this position.

I went to the university of Chicago and there is a non-zero chance that a student submitting that paper would not only fail but would also have their paper presented in class to publicly shame them

absolutely baffling phenomenon but it seems to be happening

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

Dude needs to be banned from all social media for his own good

"viewpoint diversity" is bullshit because *the main danger to free speech is not the silencing of unpopular opinions.* The main danger is the *silencing of unpopular people.*

People tend to get short when you treat their existence as a subject for debate

Anyhow you really failed to make even the slightest showing that the first amendment is implicated here

Trump: Pro-crypto or Pro-crime? Or are they the same thing?

"why would Trump, whose poll numbers are cratering, generate even more negative headlines by pardoning Hernández, who was duly convicted of conspiring to send more than 400 tons (!) of cocaine to America?

The answer is the influence of the crypto/tech broligarchy."

Rapidly disabused of this notion by going to a T14 law school

Senator Who Trashed Fellow Dems in Texts Blames Old Friend for Leaking Them to MAGA Outlet Gallego condemned the leaking of private text messages in which he delivered a caustic assessment of his own party and mocked colleagues.

Gallego’s disgusting disregard for the rule of law earlier this year when saying that he thought Trump’s renditioning people to the slave camp CECOT was NBD and his having fundraisers with right-wingers like Mark Andreesen show that this is who he is.

Right?

ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

really the overlap between cryptofascists and cryptofascists is significant enough to not really worry about which is under discussion

"do you mean orfan a person who has lost his parents, or orfan frequently?"
