Dude they sliced Austin like a pie ten years ago.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Part of the right's war on education, especially the part that appeals to voters and not Douthatian perverts, is pretty explicitly about limiting kids' horizons and trapping them where they are.

RFK is an existential threat to the life and health of everyone on this planet and nobody is taking that seriously enough

Promotional graphic for an In These Times article titled “Fortress Yellowstone” by Joseph Bullington. The background shows a rustic ranch gate at sunrise with a large cattle skull mounted on a wooden fence post, rolling hills and mountains in the distance, and golden light across a dirt road. Over the image, bold black text on white blocks reads: “Fortress Yellowstone.” Smaller text below reads: “The ultra-rich are fortifying themselves inside one of America’s last intact ecosystems—with money plundered from ecological sacrifice zones around the world.” The In These Times logo appears at the bottom.

Even as they profess to be conservationists, Joseph Bullington found that most of the billionaire landowners in the Yellowstone ecosystem accumulated their wealth through industries that help drive the destruction of nature elsewhere.

True! Fun fact: They did this because someone leaked Robert Bork’s rental history during his confirmation battle.

"The effort comes in response to longstanding criticism that Harvard’s faculty leans overwhelmingly liberal."

Golly, I wonder why faculties tend to be overwhelmingly liberal? Are liberals more drawn to teaching? Have conservatives been engaged in a long war on science and knowledge? WHO KNOWS?

Open message to any squirrels that might be reading this: It's OK to let me approach you, I mean you no harm, in fact I believe we could one day become powerful allies

Oh, I'm sure this won't end up being evil.

The Russ Vought hearing is starting now. It's the first time Vought has testified before Congress since his confirmation hearings, so it's the first time Congress will be able to question him about the onslaught of illegal budgetary actions he has undertaken. I'll be posting in this thread.

Despicable fucking government.
