Jackson's dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan, says the evidence showed that gender-incongruent passports led to humiliating, invasive searches of trans Americans (including strip searches) since their gender marker didn't align with their appearance. The policy is both cruel and irrational.

This is such a fascinating article. As someone who loves to fly, I really appreciate the cheap prices (see me flying to Denver for like $70 one way tomorrow), but the decreasing standards are depressing. I just wish southwest did not change and we had someone offering less fees and actual benefits.
The War on Basic Economy has begun.
Well, not a war, but a small-scale rebellion. Google Flights fired the first shot a few weeks ago.
I reported for @slate.com on how the airlines gradually broke our spirits and got us to accept less. slate.com/business/202...

One of the Most Absurd Changes to Air Travel Has Become So Common You Barely Even Notice It. You Should.
It began in 2008—and has only proliferated from there.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

This is an actual free speech issue, not a "free speech issue" in the way people abuse the term on the internet. The FCC head saying "nice M&A you're doing there, shame if something happened to it"
“‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ will be preempted indefinitely,” an ABC spokeswoman said Wednesday, as Disney leans into an authoritarian future.

Be the lawyer on the tarmac in whatever part of your life and work you can be right now.
As grim as this story may be, there's still much to be inspired by.
Look no further than this attorney for the children, who rushed to the airport to stop the planes. She stood near the tarmac, warning any officials she saw that they’d be complicit in violating a court order if the planes took off.

A pretty cool #Huskers thing is we scored three different touchdowns on Saturday running this exact same play. Two by Emmett and one by Ives. It’s always great if you can run a play consistently and dare the other team to stop you.
Boy, it’s been forever since I’ve done this!
Cool to see the offensive line work. That kick out block got a lot of good use in this game. That’s none other than Heinrich Haarbaugh with the key block to spring Emmett Johnson on that opening TD run for #Huskers.
