BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Woke scolds are not the same as state run media, Bret. We are not talking about the same thing
I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.

Conservatives have been bragging all week that they got the Trump administration to pull NIH funding from 17 studies using fetal tissue.

What the 'pro-life' movement won't tell you is that one of those studies was seeking to cure brain cancer in children.

The Tea app was meant to make dating safer for women. Instead, @faith-hill.bsky.social argues, data breaches have left its users exposed to the kind of abuse they were seeking protection from in the first place:
First Came Tea. Then Came the Male Rage.

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*
Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

When the dust has settled, we should probably take a look at A) the incel right's sweaty eagerness to masculinize the Trump/Musk split as the way gladiatorial men with great big weenies fight and B) the speed with which just about everyone else compared them to women or gay men.
