Adam Liptak should be fired for this. It's not some sort of minor technical error or a debatable issue. He's simply lying.

In every way, it was the opposite of how the US is approaching the threat of far right power. The message liberals *should* be learning from it, instead of tepid VOTE messaging, is that they are miserable fucking failures at being people. To actually even *try* to fix shit.

French politicians weren't telling their voters to shut the fuck up, look what the alternative is. French citizens weren't telling each other to enjoy the camps. There was something to vote *for* other than a tired j/o gesture and a threat.

When the american liberals use France's election as an illustration of the need to VOTE, they ignore that people were not only voting against the far right but *for* something. They voted for a campaign which promises to: increase minimum wage, lower retirement age, pay for all childcare, etc

it's not another kind of abortion ban, it's not "this may have a negative impact on abortion access" it's a straight fucking shot to criminalizing abortion as homicide, it's not an abortion "restriction" or an abortion "ban" it's a means of prosecuting every pregnancy that isn't carried to term

I don't know if the people writing this crap understand this or not, but they should: "fetal personhood" as a concept mandates treating pregnancy termination and pregnancy loss (under whatever circumstances prosecutors want to define it) as homicide

Saying goodbye to my pretty silver laced wyandotte today, since he turned out to be a surprise rooster. Luckily a friend of mine needs to cycle in a new unrelated rooster to her flock, so he gets to live a happy life with lots of girls to look after. I am sad to lose him, though.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Was wondering why we still haven't had any response from the administration on Utah's legislative action to defy trans inclusive Title IX rules, but I guess I have my answer. They are actively throwing trans youth under the bus, and the Overton window for trans rights is in hell.

The Grants Pass law, as Sotomayor made clear in dissent, went further, banning public sleeping with any covering, so much as a blanket, even when no other options are available. This is a very troubling ruling.

I can't see SCOTUS using a DIG to push back the EMTALA case as anything other than a purely partisan political calculus to keep miscarrying people dying of sepsis from being as front and center for the presidential election. They will fuck over access to emergency abortion care, just later.
