There should be an earnest call to pack the courts by Dem leadership. It should be a thought out campaign to explain to the American people why it’s necessary.
It's becoming increasingly clear is that the right wing of this Supreme Court is extreme even among federal courts. The district courts and appellate courts keep appropriately halting this shit, expressing appropriate outrage, and trying to hold the line. Then SCOTUS blows it all up.
NEW: The Supreme Court's conservatives halt a preliminary injunction that had restricted the Trump administration's ability to rapidly deport migrants to "third countries" where they have never lived and where allegedly face torture. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The best people watching is the airport. This lady on the park and ride shuttle has three loose open tote bags plus a purse, and is desperately trying to reshuffle them. I want to know everything about her. Where is she going? Is she checking a loose tote? What has her morning been like?

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.
The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

I talked a lot about the gender-coded messaging before and after the election. But it's not just the progressive agenda that codes "too feminine" for the Trumpist movement. It's the liberal democratic order itself.
That's of course historically been a recognizable feature of fascist movements.

they fundamentally believe the entire liberal democratic order is wrong because for them, they feel liberalism is too decadent. too feminist. too kind. too *weak*.

It could mean anything from “annoying social justice jargon” to “tv movies and video games should be whites only” and many conservatives pretend they mean the former when they actually mean something like the latter. bsky.app/profile/seth...
Judith Butler is 100% correct. The word "woke" is pure reactionary bullshit. Its contemporary meaning also distorts history by making it seem as if every positive cultural change of the past 200 years has happened naturally, without agitation by people considered, at the time, dangerously "woke."

That’s real funny because it was my understanding that corporations are people under the law…
The Ohio Supreme Court has nullified the $650 million judgement that multiple counties won against Big Pharma over the opioid crisis.
The court ruled that the state's product liability law prohibits counties from bringing public nuisance claims against pharma corporations.

This country wants poor people to die. They want them to suffer from treatable conditions. They are gleeful about it. And that’s why no one cares about an insurance CEO. This is their bed and they get to lie on it.
