Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

HE WILL CONTINUE TEACHING
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.

I was just asked for my phone (to swipe the outside for whatever) for the 1st time during a “random” TSA extra screening for a domestic flight - i told them i didn’t consent to a search of the phone, made sure there were no notifications visible & it was locked and didn’t let it out of my sight…

By the way: There are almost 3 million New Yorkers who utilize SNAP. So, they're your neighbors, bitches. That's who they are.

Maybe I'm being too critical, but this NYT headline really grates on me. It assumes the reader doesn't know anyone on SNAP, or isn't on SNAP themselves. Which, I think, says a lot about who is writing the news and who the NYT sees as its audience.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.

(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

What they're doing is great (but what the headline is doing is weird; adults are not primarily identified by their reproductive status when they're not doing something specific to offspring, or are they, since trivializing women happens a thousand ways?)
