arguing with palestinians for not wearing masks on a podcast. genuine wrecker shit

first, @maysoonzayid is a friend & the person berating them has also publicly attacked me, so i'm not claiming any sort of removed objectivity here. but i am enough of a public health expert to be baffled by this approach — it is not persuasive, it is not successful.

If you're a young trans man or trans masc person who needs a dad today, congrats. I am your dad now. I am proud of you and what you've accomplished although some of your young person culture and choices perplex me. I am proof trans men can be middle aged married dudes. You can be too some day. Live.

A 23-year old influencer who says he is "anti-universal suffrage" and that "women generally do not have what it takes to endure the pressures of a public office" has been hired to help run elections in a Utah county. www.ksl.com/article/5151...

Martin does great work, and I love this report, but I really dislike this "novel legal technicality" framing. The government has the burden of proof, and they didn't meet it because the speed cameras had a margin of error that put this guy outside the range for which he was charged. That's it.

A D.C.-based attorney spent three years fighting a $100 ticket he got from a speed camera in the city. He eventually won in D.C.'s highest court on a novel legal technicality, and thousands of other drivers could end up benefitting from it: www.notus.org/metro/dc-law...

Melon Kuma, a terrifying hybrid of a melon and a bear, is a character from Yubari City in Hokkaido, and was inspired by wild brown bears destroying melon patches in the area. He visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building today.

The first grand jury proceeding in the Broadview Six case began with a *textbook example* of forbidden prosecutorial vouching. Misconduct from the start. Just incredible stuff.

#BREAKING Transcripts from grand jury proceedings that led to the "Broadview Six" indictment have been made public. Here is the first, from Oct. 9: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

I read these transcripts last night and have to say: many of the grand jurors were very smart and brave in this case, and the prosecutors somehow managed to be both completely unethical and incompetent at the same time.

The grand jury transcripts that led to the Broadview Six indictment (and eventually our charges being dropped) are finally public. Bon appetit.

stop saying big bean propaganda is a recession indicator. we have a proud tradition in this country of passively consuming agribusiness PR campaigning when it's for animal byproducts, we shouldn't give up our most sacred traditions just because legumes are getting in on the game

Over 300 detainees at Delaney Hall signed an S.O.S. letter about the horrid conditions they are facing: rotten food, lack of medical attention, and so much more. Yesterday we went to inspect Delaney and that letter is correct. The solution is closing Delaney and abolishing ICE.

Cool attorney in my practice area at new job confirmed queer 👏👏👏👏

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

ICE keeps detaining the same US citizen again, and again, and again. He’s fighting back.

“I only wish to live my life in peace,” Leonardo Garcia Venegas said in a declaration.

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

New job is a trip. My new boss will describe a project that's literally something I've dreamed about doing and then asks me "is this something you would be interested in working on?" Yes! YES! I keep waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out and punk me

the beauty of Lauren Sánchez Bezos's incredibly lazy attempt at Madame X is that, like the original sitter of the portrait, she is a woman famous mostly for having a really rich husband, and is finding out the hard way that that only buys you so much cachet

Those of us who know what Critical Race Theory is were appalled when reactionaries glommed on to the phrase to ply their agenda. It never stopped being a useful school of thought, and its authors never stopped being a hundred times more brilliant than their latter-day critics.

Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw helped name two contested ideas in U.S. politics — intersectionality and critical race theory. Her memoir chronicles the personal and legal framework for her thinking. n.pr/4ncrJge
