Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Yep. The fact that the instant we had a little reform for our citizens, moving us to 49th, they found ways to ramp up imprisonment of migrants? Then there is the attempt to increase incarceration of minors in adult facilities via amendment a few months ago. Disgusting.

This ain’t about abortion, it’s about punishing folks who can’t afford private care and women who dare to demand control over their own bodies.

Shutting down clinics means more undiagnosed cancer, more untreated STIs, and more folks left out here with nowhere to turn.

I was so worried going into this vote on the amendments in Louisiana, but the people turned out and voted down a plan to gut Ed funding disguised as a teacher “raise” and the ability to incarcerate even more of our children as adults. I haven’t heard the turnout numbers, but Landry wanted <18.

MSNBC Can't Cancel Our Joy MSNBC canceled Joy Reid's show because ... you know.

After being subjected to years of insults from Donald Trump and an official "DEI investigation" from Trump's new FCC commissioner, MSNBC fired the first Black woman to host a primetime Cable news show.

Happy Black History Month!

I’m so angry that The Reid Out is cancelled. But not as angry as my mom.

Sometimes, it’s the little wins. Like starting a sourdough a couple of weeks ago that is flourishing. I used it to make chicken and dumplings + a couple of loaves. The dumplings were served in my granny’s dumpling pot and the family said they were deserving of the honor.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Me, attempting to ice skate: Face plant

Me, catching up on the ice dance free skate: Her extension could be better. He really can’t get any lower there?!

But even when I’m criticizing while I watch, I find it mostly magical. I’m glad I remembered it was available on Peacock.

Watching this Defiant Jazz dance party on Severance and it feels so much like a faculty reward. Including it causing a breakdown among at least one staff member. 😬

They're gonna drag people out of churches and "conservative Christians" will cheer. Just like they did when it was happening to slaves.

I also prefer A New Hope.

Note: The person giving the sermon in question is Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington.

Rep. Collins is suggesting deporting a U.S. citizen and bishop for delivering a sermon in a house of worship in accordance with her faith.

This is a great reminder from day one of how they work; three or four times a day, every day, they will do something and then insist they didn’t do it and force everyone to burn out arguing that it is what it is.

The sole purpose is to exhaust you and it will absolutely work if you let it.

Sharing this link of a Sarah Kendzior article from 2016. I've read it several times and it sits in the back of my mind.

Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men Research published in Sex Roles suggests that male victimhood ideology among South Korean men is driven more by perceived socioeconomic status decline rather than objective economic hardship.

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/

it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.

This is timely in light of JD Vance's comments about wanting to surveil the body of every woman in America. I just dropped a new investigation into car companies selling off your private location data to shady data brokers. The case for federal privacy legislation has never been stronger.
