Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi. “Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.

N95 masks are PPE. They’re designed to protect the wearer from covid, airborne viruses, wildfire smoke & more. They’re a public health tool. Gaitors & bandanas are face coverings worn by ICE goons who want to conceal their identity because they’re kidnapping people They’re not the same.

@msnbc.com why do you keep putting John kasich on? He is out there saying the authorities in Ca took too long to react to all the violence so ok for tRumP to send in national guard. Guess he’s getting his info from Fox 😡

In U.S. v. Lovett (1946), the Supreme Court held that not even Congress, in a bill signed by POTUS, may cut off all contracts with a named individual or organization: that’d be an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Only courts can decide who deserves to be punished. SoTrump can’t do it with an EO!

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

3 things autistic kids will actually never do: 1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat 2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear 3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

Seems like it's everyone's patriotic duty to report men getting hair plugs and erectile dysfunction meds, as those are both gender-affirming care
