In July, the Trump admin took the position that a 1996 law had, without anyone noticing for almost 30 years, made it so that most undocumented immigrants were not eligible to be released on bond.
That position has been *overwhelmingly* rejected by federal judges; 200+ of them!

NEW: ICE’s policy of mass detaining immigrants w pending deportation proceedings has led to an avalanche of rejections in court.
More than 220 judges — including 23 Trump appointees — have called it an illegal distortion of long-settled law. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Periodic reminder: the vaccine efficacy of the pertussis vaccine drops below 50% at 4.5 years. You should be getting a Tdap booster every 5 years, not every 10. It is especially vital if you have contact with pregnant people or infants too young to be vaccinated.
After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Feeling this one deeply.
Back when the Deep Magic was written, including REM’s Nightswimming or more than 3 Peter Gabriel OR Indigo Girls songs was code for “I love you.” The tape could be placed in the crush’s locker or “accidentally” left behind in their car, to be experienced in absentia so as not to ruin it.

We knew Larry Summers was a shitty Treasury secretary, shitty university president, misogynist & pro-corporate neoliberal shill decades before this news that he was BFF with a pedophile. Dems should have stopped taking his calls long, long ago.

After decades of power, Washington shuns Larry Summers over Epstein ties
Larry Summers helped shape U.S. economic policy for decades. His close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein scuttled much of that legacy.

Riley Gaines claims trans athletes are the biggest threat to women’s athletics. Is that true? Or is it coaches who use power to sexually abuse young women while universities look the other way?

Don’t tell my husband, but my dad just commissioned a drawing for his birthday next week 😸
I've drawn 40+ cats reading books for authors and readers both.
$75 for a drawing of any cat (your cat, friend's cat, imaginary cat) reading any book (literary fiction, beach read, comics, academic treatise). You get the digital illustration file.
Makes a great Holiday gift. (Just sayin'.)
DM me

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.
