Well, we're doing "stay-or-leave" discourse, so as someone who spent much of their 20s wrestling with the guilt of leaving a broken system in West Virginia I had no reasonable expectation of fixing, I'm here to tell you you're allowed to leave if you want.

I remember where I was in May 2021 when the first legal challenge to the first ban (AR, still in court) dropped: at the TX state lege while folks were trying to stop their ban (it passed in 2023, was upheld last week). Hat's off to the New York Times, among others, truly. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

In just a few years, half of all states passed bans on trans health care for kidswww.npr.org The Supreme Court will hear a case on gender-affirming care in the next term after a flurry of legislation. Lower courts have come to conflicting conclusions when these bans were challenged.

i’m gonna drink so many margaritas tomorrow

Me, a bedwetter: There is plenty of time for the Democratic Party to choose a viable candidate from amongst several strong options. All can beat Trump. You, strong, wise: No, the only one who can win is the man who 72% of Americans don’t believe has the cognitive ability to do the job.

Biden steps down and we get Trump. Simple as that. Bedwetting will only lead there.

mom come pick me up, gen x-ers are fighting in my replies again

this is the entrance to a public elementary school built over 100 years ago - no one is spending money on this kind of quality work anymore, especially not on public infrastructure (where this kind of thing is more important than people might think)

I work at a number of schools built in the 1920s and the level of craftsmanship is astounding. They were built to LAST - and they look beautiful.

This has leaked into every facet of new construction. No one wants to spend the money upfront on building things a community can be proud of. They want the lowest cost and quickest path to recouping costs.

And Minimalism! The complete victory of Minimalism, which means engineered and machine-finished materials EVERYWHERE. Glass, laminate, steel. Again: The same materials used in everyone else's homes. But LESS of it. So they CHARGE YOU MORE. Wild.

Well yeah it’s the completion of that coup and the beginning of the authoritarian debasement of rule of law and social order. The purpose is to drive you mad

Maybe I'm super fucked up but having the supreme court declare that J6 was fine and good actually feels worse than J6

The president is himself forever immune from prosecution for crimes committed using his official power, and he can pardon anyone for helping him to commit federal crimes, explicitly including an actions in furtherance of a coup to illegally hold onto the office of the presidency. That’s the upshot.

If you murder a string of Supreme Court justices and then appeal your conviction back up to the Supreme Court, all the remaining judges must recuse themselves with conflicts of interest. You are automatically freed; the perfect crime. No law school is brave enough to admit this.

pretty neat to see a judicial coup happening in real time

Biden has the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds, 6-3, that a former president is absolutely immune from prosecution for actions within their "conclusive and preclusive" authority and presumptively immune from prosecution for all official acts. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

I'm a hard-eyed realist about electoral politics, that's why I'm advising the Democrats to shove aside the elected vice president and replace her with someone who'd vacate a purple- or red-state Senate seat

ah yes, just a what we needed, a 100+ post thread rehashing drama from over a week ago
