“Ticketmaster/live nation got in a lot of trouble todayyyyyy…” Hayley Williams at her concert just now specifically for me, the antitrust lawyer in the audience

her replacement will almost certainly be worse but LOL

Yet anti-LGBTQ+ therapists now enjoy a First Amendment right that is denied to abortion providers. But as Jackson pointed out, the inconsistency runs deeper. After Chiles, parents who seek to “convert” their transgender children have a constitutional right to do so. But thanks to last year’s decision in Skrmetti, parents who seek to affirm their transgender children with medication have no such right. States can ban gender-affirming medication but evidently cannot ban anti-transgender talk therapy. And the majority does not explain why anti-LGBTQ+ speech receives heightened protections when other viewpoints do not. Surely, Jackson wrote, a state can direct doctors to discourage, and not encourage, smoking cigarettes. It can prohibit doctors “from telling an anorexic patient to eat less” while allowing them to recommend eating more. It can stop doctors from encouraging patients to end their lives. These laws, too, censor speech on the basis of the state’s preferred viewpoint—in Gorsuch’s words, they “enforce orthodoxy.” Why is it, then, that nobody seriously argues that they’d violate the First Amendment, too?

The Supreme Court's "conversion therapy" decision today is indefensible on its own terms. A ton of medical regulations restrict speech on the basis of "viewpoint." Nobody thinks they're unconstitutional. This court just subjects pro-LGBTQ protections to special hostility. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I genuinely can’t stop listening to this song send help

No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

Whatever you do, don’t publicly boo the horrible man who increasing majorities and pluralities of key voting groups hate, thus showing u in direct opposition to the extremely unpopular hated man

I know I live in DC but every time I see a place advertising a state of the union or other political themed watch party I can’t help but be like… we’re still doing this??

wuthering heights felt like a really long music video more than any kind of adaptation

I wish I was dead

conservatives are gonna be so mad AND we got surprise gaga? that’s a top halftime show of all time ladies and gent

I’m on the edge of my mfin SEAT going into the men’s free skate. US and Japan tied??? And it all rests in the hands of this 21 year old from Virginia and his quad axel?? You can’t write these kinds of sports stories!!!!

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

I love da olympics!!!!!!

Hop on the MARC and come see me in DC 🤗

what exactly is the point of March for life anymore didn’t y’all win already?? what is the point of wandering through my neighborhood with a Charlie Kirk sign exactly

Genuinely demonic. There’s no bottom for these people

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

enjoy your frappes, assholes

I see the national guard in line at my grocery store Starbucks more than I see them on the streets

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

Senate Democrats: what just happened under our current leadership is a total travesty

Also Senate Democrats: i have nothing to say about whether our current leadership may be part of the problem

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

the "who will the public blame for the shutdown?" handwringing is asinine. the vast majority of voters have no idea how government shutdowns work, and by the time midterms roll around they won't remember anything that didn't impact them directly

I love living with my boyfriend except now there’s a witness to every single stupid thing I do like smacking my head on the corner of the cat scratch post and crying for 5 minutes
