and for people currently living there, duh

It's a great day for people from Pennsylvania 🦅🔔

and as Garnet notes, the idea that their lives were at risk was projection. Statistically, anti-abortion activists are the violent side, not pro-choice libs

Never been more convinced that House Alito was behind the Dobbs leak. Getting it out there locked in Kavanaugh's vote amid Roberts and Breyer efforts to flip him, then Alito argued that the dissenters needed to hurry up because of security threats. How incredibly convenient

Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak the ‘wall was shaking,' book claims Justice Kagan allegedly yelled at Justice Breyer so loudly the "wall was shaking" during the 2022 Dobbs leak crisis, a new book by Hemingway says.

Alito told liberal Supreme Court justices they needed to hurry and finalize their dissents because someone might try to murder a conservative justice to sway the outcome of Dobbs.

Amazing take from a man who has the anti-abortion movement, which is responsible for 11 actual murders, on his side.

17 Mollie reposted Sean Davis ~ @seanmdav X.com Elena Kagan is a psychopath. At the very moment conservative justices were at risk of being assassinated following the Dobbs leak (but before its official release), Kagan tried to delay the release of the opinion. Maybe in the hopes one of her colleagues would be murdered and the pro-life majority would evaporate. Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak th...

For book promo, Mollie Hemingway is boosting conservative influencers floating the idea that Elena Kagan’s pace of work was part of an elaborate plot to get Sam Alito murdered. This is the kind of poison the conservative justices’ media diets are pumping into their brains. Don’t care for it at all.

Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak the ‘wall was shaking,' book claims Justice Kagan allegedly yelled at Justice Breyer so loudly the "wall was shaking" during the 2022 Dobbs leak crisis, a new book by Hemingway says.

Forget about the substance, the reveal that “most of” the justices talked to Mollie Hemingway for her book is bananas. Hemingway is a right-wing freak who runs a conspiracy theory blog. If literally any of the justices are taking this person seriously, the Supreme Court is GONE gone.

And this person's video went viral on Instagram because of course it did. Seems that's the goal over there

Trump hates Pope Leo because he sees himself as the real vicar of Christ The president is trying to rebuild Christianity in his own image, but the first American pope is standing in the way

🧵Trump's war against Pope Leo is about something far larger than his foreign wars, it's actually a struggle for control of American Christianity.

This thread will summarize the main points of my latest essay about how Trumpism is a replacement Christianity. Continue or click through:

Beyond it being exciting to see an important policy being made real in NYC, the other groundbreaking thing about Mamdani loudly and doggedly supporting universal childcare is that it's not coming from a woman or even a parent. It's being championed by a childless man.

The Supreme Court will decide whether Colorado violated the First Amendment's free exercise clause by requiring schools participating in its universal pre-K program to abide by a non-discrimination policy that Catholic schools reject. (Exceedingly ominous.) www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

These freaks deserve what’s coming to them (court expansion)

Big abortion win in PA today - the ban on Medicaid funding is unconstitutional!

AND there's a fundamental right to abortion!

We won!

(Though this Commonwealth Court opinion can be appealed - we'll see what our AG does.)

Screenshot: Julia Kaye, senior staff attorney for the Reproductive Freedom Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, issued the following statement in response: "Even as the Trump administration all but promises to further restrict mifepristone, a medication that patients have safely used for more than 25 years for abortion and miscarriage care, Louisiana is banging down the courthouse doors to block access even faster. Louisiana's latest desperate attack on medication abortion is yet more evidence that anti-abortion politicians will stop at nothing to prevent people from getting the care they need. When will these extremist politicians recognize that their attacks on abortion are out of touch with science, law, and public opinion?"

@aclu.org notes that nationwide telemedicine access to mifepristone could change within a matter of weeks, depending on what the appeals court does

On Friday, Louisiana appealed this ruling to the Fifth Circuit, the state and lawyers from Alliance Defending Freedom are asking for a decision by May 11. Abortion pills still not safe

Longtime immigration court interpreter arrested by ICE at South Texas airport Meenu Batra was detained by ICE in March. This article was originally published by the Texas Observer, a nonprofit investigative news outlet and magazine.

The state’s only licensed Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years.

The Right Wing Origins Age Verification Laws Don’t Disappear Just Because They’re Going Bipartisan. I think it’s important to understand that, despite claims to the contrary, age verification is, inherently, a right-wing effort. While it’s currently true that age verification laws are…

"All 26 states that enacted porn age-verification laws as of 2026 voted Republican in the 2024 presidential election, indicating a strong geographic overlap with red states. While I do hold that this doesn’t suggest strong ideological clustering, it shows a strong partisan alignment."

lol and, additionally, lmao

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.

WNBA training camp questions: Projected lineups, team stats How will Angel Reese fit the Dream? Will the Wings return to the playoffs? Can Caitlin Clark remain healthy?
