Proposed ESA rollbacks could limit future habitat for Mexican wolves
Late last month, the Trump administration proposed to roll back specific Endangered Species Act (ESA) regulations that would, among other changes, severely limit the designation of critical habitat for species on the path to extinction – including the genetically vulnerable Mexican gray wolf.

A lot of journalists are writing stories about DIY now and I don't trust any of them not to scaremonger about it to build support for crackdowns. I've refused requests for interviews on this. Do not talk to the media about DIY.
Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

1. For weeks, EITM has reported that Republicans would push a trans healthcare ban in their ACA negotiations.
Now, the plan is released, and it includes heavy restrictions on ACA plans, a medicaid ban, an EHB ban, and more.
Democrats must not capitulate.

Democrats Must Reject The Premise Of Trans Healthcare Bans In Republican Healthcare Offer
Republicans new healthcare bill would bar transgender healthcare as an essential health benefit, bar trans medicaid coverage, and would bar HSAs from considering trans healthcare medically necessary.

Conservative affirmative action strikes again. As the court tilts more conservative, those with ties to conservative justices are chosen over better attorneys. That's how a politicized judicial system works.
I assume Amit Agarwal was chosen to defend independent agencies at the Supreme Court today because he's a former Alito and Kavanaugh clerk with a conservative pedigree. But he is doing a very poor job, and I think a progressive advocate with subject matter expertise would've been far more effective.

What I love the most about being a law professor is seeing my students become beyond burnt out in real time because law firms and the law school dump an impossible amount of stuff on them and don’t really do much to fix the issue even though it’s identified as a major problem every single year.

You can't separate this from the Atlantic article claiming their are too many students with disabilities. It's a moral panic meant to push out young people with disabilities from access to resources and to reify ableist bigotry. It's exactly what they did to trans people.

I love ILL. It is the bestest ever.
A couple weeks ago we got a lovely note from someone on the other side of the country thanking us profusely for ILLing a book to them. Curious, we looked up the book they borrowed.
It would have cost $1,200 for them to purchase it.
ILL is one of the things I love most about libraries.

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
