i just assume now that whenever a woman says “my girlfriends” she means she’s in a sapphic polycule. i don’t care if it’s true or not. she should kiss them all anyway

We think the limit of the police power has been reached and passed in this case.- There is, in our judgment, no reasonable foundation for holding this to be necessary or appropriate as a health law to safeguard the public health or the health of the individuals who are-following the trade of a baker. If this statute be valid, and if,, therefore, a proper case is made out in which to deny the right of an individual, suz jurms, as employer or employ6, to make contracts for the labor of the latter under the protection of the provisions of the Federal Constitution, there would seem to be no length to which legislation of this nature might not go. The case differs widely, as we have already stated, from the expressions of this court in regard to laws of this nature, as stated in Holden v Hardy and Jacobson v Massachusetts, supra. We think that there can be no fair doubt that the trade of a baker, in and of itself, is not an unhealthy one to that degree which would authorize the legislature to interfere with the right to labor, and with the right of free contract on the part of the individual, either as employer or employ6. In looking through statistics regarding all trades and occupations, it may be true that the trade of a baker does not appear to be as healthy as some other trades, and is also vastly more healthy than still others. To the common understanding the trade of a baker has never been regarded as an unhealthy one. Very likely physicians would not recommend the exercise of that or of any other trade as a remedy for ill health. Some occupations are riore healthy than others, but we think there are none which might not come under the power of the legislature to supervise and control the hours of working therein, if the mere fact that the occupation is not absolutely and perfectly healthy is to confer that right upon the legislative department of the Government. It might be safely affirmed that almost all occupations more or less affect the health. There must be…

Reading through Lochner, and I am shocked that arguments like "if a legislature can legitimately enforce a 10 hour workday, then it must be able to legitimately enact any legislation it wants" and "legislatures may only regulate the most unhealthy occupations" didn't stand the test of time

I'm not in bad faith I'm just stupid

Anti imperialism is when women die bc they can’t get an abortion and the more women die the more anti imperialist it is

i need you to pay me £15 so that the other £15 you are gonna pay me will be worth it.

trust me bro.

tbh i think a lot of people just never stopped disassociating

in the early days of the net websites used to have messages like "welcome to my amazing webzone, i hope you enjoy the things i've collected that represent my strange mind." now they're just like "by clicking this box you agree to recieve targeted advertisements in your dreams"

Damn. Truly sorry for the senator's loss. Hugs and condolences to the whole family.

I share Steve’s concerns. An observation:

The Court’s immense power, such as it is, is contingent upon its at least plausibly appearing to do law. This may seem like an academic debate, but it’s literally over whether the Court is doing law or something else. That matters.

Becoming increasingly radicalized against qualified immunity every time one of these decisions comes down

There was a brief moment when two summary reversals went against officers who did awful shit, and we thought made qualified immunity was moving in the right direction.

The Court ended that hope this term.

I watched Eastman, in real time, testify to the Georgia General Assembly that it was their *duty* to overturn my vote in 2020. He lied about evidence. He misled his client about the law. Law profs who back wannabe coup leaders and authoritarians should retire because what’s the point of law at all?

Israel is now an 80/20 issue against Israel and yes, those 20% can still hurt you in many districts and races.

It’s really no different than running pro-choice Democrats in rural districts.

You’re going to lose some voters! That’s just how it is!

We definitely need awful, centrist Dems who love Israel and think fossil fuels are good representing blue seats so they can *hypothetically* win by 25% instead of 23%.

Surely there’s nothing hilariously single-minded about basing your entire worldview on margins of victory.

You probably do need some centrist-coded Democrats (“centrist” is very subjective and often purely vibes) in swing and red districts.

But I do not give one single shit if every safe blue district in this country is represented by a socialist and they underperform by a few percent.

Who cares?

are you "locked in" or just wound so tight that any minor inconvenience will derail you into the platform, killing six and maiming seventeen passengers in the process?

I think if you're a female journalist you can get away with the "these gen Z women say they won't date someone who disagrees with them about Gaza, isn't that shocking" stuff but the second a male journalist jumps in it just starts to look sleazy. It's unfair but that's life!
