The Supreme Court Has Dealt Another Devastating Blow to Women The court's ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood twists logic, common sense, and the law to further the right-wing assault on bodily autonomy.

It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think.

DOGE has now turned its sights on a small agency that provides support for community programs in every state. The National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds museums, historic sites, libraries, educators and media outlets across the country, has been told to slash staff by 70-80 percent.🧵

Utterly, utterly disgraceful.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

I can (and do) explain the "law" behind Mahmoud Khalil's unlawful abduction and rendition to a for-profit concentration camp.
But if you're waiting for the law to stop this, you've got it wrong. Dictators always make their crimes "legal"
