At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburgโ€™s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Stop flying, stop diverting water to maintain golf courses, stop putting concrete over everything, stop burning fossil fuels, for fucks sake just stop it like we've been saying for 40+ years. You've made enough profits to last a millennia beyond your imminent death.

And just like that, the first anti LGBTQ bill in nearly 3 decades was signed by Biden and passed by a Democratic senate. It included a ban on gender affirming care for trans children of military families. So much for having our back, you god damn liar.

Today's lesson discusses the American health care system for those in countries where their system provides care for free or reasonable fees. ๐Ÿ‘‡

SB72 - Creates provisions relating to illegal aliens

Folks better speak up about this proposed leg in MO:

โ€œAny person who makes a report in which an illegal alien is arrested shall receive a reward of $1,000.
The Department of Public Safety shall develop the Missouri Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program"

Back to slave catchers. Disgusting.

I just heard Megyn Kelly pose the question "do you think you're being Kavanaugh'ed" to Pete Hegseth and it just feels like a good time to repeat that I believe Christine Blasey Ford, and I believe Anita Hill, and Megyn Kelly is a piece of actual shit.

Some states have dangerous plans to address the scarcity of child care: removing regulations While some states are investing more in child care, others are loosening child care regulations to cut costs and add spots โ€” in ways that could stress underpaid educators and harm young children.

Anyone working in child care policy comms needs to be prepared to make sure Republicans don't get away with conflating "red tape" and bare minimum safety standards. Important reporting from @jackiemader.bsky.social on the push to deregulate child care.

Kindercare is loaded up with debt and ready to seize the moment as the last federal pandemic funds for child care expire. Are you okay with sacrificing the future of child care so private equity can maximize profits in yet another care sector?
