22 states sue to block Trump administration cuts to NIH research payments

ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

YouTube video by TalibKweliVEVO Talib Kweli - Push Thru ft. Kendrick Lamar, Curren$y

I met a young Kendrick Lamar in 2011. He heard a song I was working on with Curren$y and dropped a verse. Our verses were 16 bars each but Kendrick dropped 24 so I cut the last 8 to make the song tighter. He called me and asked me to put his last 8 bars back. He was right. youtu.be/TaeYhVWJ5A8?...

Are we great yet?

I know nothing of TikTok but this feels more like selective info being pushed to the masses, a la Musk with Twitter approaching the election

I was raised in a multi-generational organizing family and I can say with firsthand knowledge that 20th century organizers read theory and they studied history and literature quite closely

The need to do that hasn’t changed

If studying history isn’t part of your organizing work, change that

i love when food guidance for pets is stricter than for humans. if you search whether cats can eat sushi, some people say no bc the cat might get parasites. as if I ought not share my lunch, that I am eating, because it's too low quality for the animal that voluntarily drinks my toilet bowl water

Say it ain’t so.

Padilla: Will you defend birthright citizenship as the law of the land?

Bondi: I will study birthright citizenship

Padilla: You're asking to be considered for Attorney General and you still need to study the 14th Amendment of the Constitution?
