I am giddy for you!

Just wait - it gets even better!!

This is incredible.

Also. Fuck RFK Jr.

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.

I appreciate the effort but like, they didn’t “get anything wrong” they just made it up. There is no wisdom to markets. They all follow each other’s lead and pretend it’s real. It’s cosplaying intellectualism for people who aren’t cool enough to do actual cosplay.

Looks like I will be leaving the Kindlesphere soon. My kindle won't work and I refuse to buy one just because Amazon force me to. I will be all Kobo/library.

Good week for freedom of speech in Australia, bad one for imperious governments and lazy legislators --

On Wed, High Court voided Victoria's unfair donation cap scheme because of major party loopholes.

Yesterday, High Court knocked back the latest round of NSW's restrictions on protest rights.

Is anyone surprised Israel has *already* violated the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon?

Holy shit. According to the article sailors on TRIPOLI are rationing their food and if someone gets a little extra they're sharing it with their friends. There's no fresh produce, which points to a lack of resupply ships able to serve the ships maintaining the blockade.

Single frame. Man standing in front of woman in wheelchair says: “Instead of complaining about the expensive nuclear subs we may never see, or our increasing expenditure on war machinery, maybe think about how properly funding YOUR NEEDS makes us LESS SAFE as a country…”

He probably thinks there's only one

If you want to understand the institutional environment that makes it so easy for Trump to fire Immigration Judges he doesn't like and to remake the "immigration courts" into a deportation machine, see Section II of our NSF funded research + IV for reforms. Un-gated. 👇 NSF surely wouldn't fund now.

College athletes are treated this way when they are no longer of use to the school...

this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional
