Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues.
This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life.
Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.

“It’s completely counterintuitive to not allow people to have health care until they’re at a point where they can 'prove it.' At that point, they’re definitely not going to be able to work, and then, more importantly, they don’t have access to health care.”
RFK Jr. is getting personal authority over who to kick off of Medicaid
“It's just a way of cutting people off of coverage and then blaming them for it.”

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions

My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members.
If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.

Do not accept the premise that education is to blame for abysmal jobs outcomes.

The unitary executive theory is animating all of Trump's legal moves, becoming a catch-all defense for the idea that Trump is basically a king. Fittingly, the idea of an unaccountable president started with Nixon. But unlike in 1974, the Supreme Court is on board. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Every group underrepresented in academia is underrepresented because that group is statistically less likely to be qualified for professorship. Except for conservatives, who are the victims of unseen systemic bias in hiring.
The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.
If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

this is why shipping migrants to third party countries is inherently a due process violation. it very literally removes them from the realm of legal process entirely.
The Trump administration claims the right to throw a man with legal status into a black hole Central American prison, affording him no due process, to admit afterward it was a mistake, and then to get snide with the judge who tells them to fix it.
