SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

Wow. Predictable, but still appalling.
If you aren’t already following @rachelwells1.bsky.social, who reports on reproductive health from Tennessee & scooped the story about the woman who was denied care for a pregnancy because she was unmarried, you’ll want to follow her immediately!
UPDATED: The woman at the center of my reporting speaks out. For the first time, she shares what it felt like to be denied prenatal care simply for being unmarried.

UPDATE: Pilot of commercial flight performs ‘aggressive maneuver’ to avoid mid-air collision with B-52 bomber
A Delta flight turned into a tense and quiet ride for passengers after pilots took evasive action to avoid a mid-air collision with a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber.

NEW from American victim’s family:
“…our beloved Sayfollah Musallet (nicknamed Saif) was brutally beaten to death by Israeli settlers while he was protecting his family’s land…”
They surrounded him for 3+ hours, blocking medics from him.
He died before getting to the hospital.
He was only 20.

One of the more bizarre forms of gaslighting Trump & his enablers somehow pull off is routinely framing stuff that’s been an uncontroversial American norm for centuries as crazy radicalism.
DOOCY: Booker and Padilla have a bill to require CBP and ICE officers to have legible IDs and then don't want them covering their faces. Would you sign that?
TRUMP: They wouldn't be saying that if they didn't have our country, and they obviously do.

The Trump administration is currently holding hostage nearly $7B in federal funding for K-12 schools--funding that was supposed to be distributed yesterday.

Indeed. It's important to understand that the rule of law isn't just "threatened" by what SCOTUS has been doing.
For a variety of actions by the federal government, the rule of law no longer exists, because the feds have been willfully defying court orders and there will be no consequences for it.

I've been banging on about this, so I guess I'll do so again & let others talk about the substantive horrors of SCOTUS's order allowing ICE to deport people to third countries with no warning:
SCOTUS has again thrown lower-court judges under a ginormous bus & rewarded DOJ for defying court orders.

If ye will with Mab find grace,
Set each platter in his place;
Rake the fire up, and get
Water in, ere sun be set.
Wash your pails, and cleanse your dairies,
Sluts are loathsome to the fairies;
Sweep your house; Who doth not so,
Mab will pinch her by the toe.

MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”
ICE: “The whole country is our property.”
No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

60-70% of Project 2025's executive action proposals have been initiated or implemented — like gutting education and environmental laws.
30-40% is currently proposed as legislation — gutting healthcare, banking deregulations, voter suppression, and more.
