It's especially rich for Clarence Thomas to suggest that the Constitution requires public schools to obtain parental consent before acknowledging trans students' identity.
Such a right would be rooted in substantive due process—a concept Thomas dismissed as completely illegitimate in Dobbs.

If Trump dies in office, Miller’s going to try to seize power with such awkward but ferocious ambition that it’ll make Al Hague look like Cincinnatus.
This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Take it from some who teaches about drone strikes, “I shed no tear for that guy” and “this is bad, it shouldn’t have happened” can be normal reactions to have simultaneously.
Opposition to political violence isn’t about personal sympathy for an individual target per se, it’s about society.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

Run on the "No Kings Act" to limit executive power. No grabbing people off the street, no imprisoning people without trial, no stealing money Congress has told you to spend, no destroying public records, no Maxwell coverups, no personal lackeys at the DOJ, no erasing Black people. No kings.

“They should’ve come here legally,” MAGA says. Well, they did. One Afghan interpreter was arrested after a green card appointment. Another? Detained after his asylum hearing. Both helped U.S. troops. Now ICE wants to deport them.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.
