”How’s law school” you ask? Simply Riveting. My friends and I were arguing just the other day if a comma had to be italicized or not.

I'm not responding individually to people tonight. I'll just say: You cannot spend half of your time yelling On Here about Nobody Doing Anything and the other half saying that Anything That Happens Is Not Going To Change Anything.

ideally a marriage consists of one person who is nice enough to let the door-to-door bible guys start a conversation and one person who is mean enough to get them out of it

I’m so thankful that, despite Ken Paxtons actions, Aleksandra is with us today. She has become an invaluable investigative reporter and the world is better off because she is in it. The energy she brings to our movement is contagious! Vote against Paxton

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

I'm reading my torts casebook, and there is a case from the early 1900s where the court determined that a can of sparkling water is an inherently destructive instrument, and I find that really amusing.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Today concludes my fellowship with Lawyers for Good Government. Getting to serve the transgender community in a fulltime capacity was nothing less than a dream and a privilege. As I go onto my next chapter as a Law Student, I cannot be more grateful for such a meaningful experiance.

1. In the aftermath of forcing the Ohio Progressive Caucus to delete criticism of Amy Acton for calling trans girls "boys," progressives were promised a meeting with Acton. Now, we have learned she didn't show up, and kicked trans people out of the meeting. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is deeply worrying and would amount to no less than trying to proscribe trans people for acts of self defence against a regime on the attack.

BASH BACK@bashback.bsky.social

Tomorrow, Lord Walney, who was responsible in part for the proscription of Palestine Action, will publish an article in The Times arguing that BASH BACK be proscribed as a terrorist organisation. We will not be intimidated. Neither should you. xoxo BASH BACK

I got curious about this and yes, Taylor Farms is one of the lettuce suppliers for Jersey Mike's.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.
