Castle Rock v. Gonzales is, no joke, my Roman Empire.

Once you learn the full details of this horrific case, you will never again be able to see policing as a force for safety or justice.

It will permanently alter your understanding of state violence, gender, and race in this country.
In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

Learning that the ruled, written, documented letter of the law in the US is that police should protect property over the lives of people is one of those big radicalizing moments. Sheryl here explains the case, if you've never looked into it before.
for purposes of the Due Process Clause, have a property interest in police enforcement of the restraining order against her husband." And because nonproperty interests weren't protectable, said SCOTUS, she had no legal remedy.

The entire point of social media is being able to surround yourself with people who start posts with sentences like "Hi, shipwreck autist here!"
Hi, shipwreck autist here! It was in fact true at the time. The Edmund Fitzgerald also had a sister ship, the Arthur B. Homer, which had the same structural defect the Edmund Fitzgerald did and was quietly retired shortly after Fitz sank. She remains the largest ship ever scrapped on the Great Lakes

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

This analysis is completely correct: The right wants to treat trans people and the 'other' as aliens with needs that can only be met at the expense of yours. the reality is that trans people are workers. they need healthcare and lower costs of living, what benefits them also benefits the 99%.

A stereotype is NOT a generalization of how some population differs from human universals but a way to demonize members of that population precisely WHEN they act according to human universals.
very funny to reflect on helen andrews simultaneous insistence that aggressive jockeying for speaking time reflects the male nature of direct rational confrontation and that female scotus judges interrupting their colleagues demonstrates female emotionality and disrespect for law
Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..

“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”

More celebrities need to speak out like this.

If I were a Democrat, as stupid as it might be, I'd be loudly stating that between the kids of SNAP benefits and the inability to safely and efficiently travel during the holiday season, Trump and the GOP are waging a War on Christmas.
