1) SCOTUS Blog is doing propaganda for the MAGA Supreme Court; and
2) The Supreme Court is a MAGA op now
This court ⤵️? Is not going to help us. We cannot, for example, expect the court to save health care — it won't.

Maybe this new blog can respond, in one of its first posts, to the argument that the term “interim docket” is a deliberately misleading attempt to minimize the (very permanent) doctrinal and real-world consequences of #SCOTUS’s rulings on emergency applications?

Spousal Unit and I have pushed physical limits to shovel our sidewalks following the snow + freezing rain Tuesday night.
Meanwhile the apartment building next door has plowed a 2 foot berm of snow onto the sidewalk on my side of the property line, leaving their side clear.

Whenever, in 2025, we're talking about stuff that has the potential to discourage others from getting vaccinated, I really do think there's a responsibility to do so with a high degree of precision
The analysis is more complicated than "if you're immunocompromised then don't get live vaccine" 🧵

Fucking Wild to argue that letting babies get sick with Hepatitis B isn’t about health care
Bill Cassidy when asked about having RFK Jr. Testify about changes to Hepatitis recommendations: “we’re focused on health care right now”
Me: but you said in your testimony when you voted to confirm him
Cassidy: “Excuse me, I've answered that a couple days ago. But let me just focus on this.”

Trump using the R slur is not a mistake. It’s not a slip up. It’s not him just being a cranky old man.
He’s testing the waters.
He’s trying to see what he can get away with.
He’s furthering a eugenicist agenda.

The R Slur Must Never be Normalized
Last week Trump called Walz the 'R slur', and now his base is using it regularly. We must all speak out against this. It's a term that pushes a eugenicist agenda and feeds directly into fascism.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

Absolutely this. Not a single one of the excuses used to ban trans women from more physical sports even begins to apply to esports
If ever there was a competitive arena where what genitals and/or hormones you were born with shouldn't matter in the slightest it's esports. These sorts of bans--like the one in the chess world--bring the underlying transphobia and misogyny into stark focus.
Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.

I sincerely hope we get to the point in which all MAGA swag is treated as nazi paraphernalia and the only place you will be able to buy it is at a sketchy booth exiled to the very back of a flea market.
At some loint, this has to end in a patriotic display of brutal mob violence.
Years later, so many fake parts than the actual remains. Buckets of teeth. At least sixteen skulls. We have Antiques Roadshow telling folks that sorry, that Trump Femur they got from gran-gran is actually from a coyote.

You're going to see a lot of pixels about today's CDC ACIP meeting. The most important thing to keep in mind is that it's all a sham, it's not on the level. CDC no longer works for the American people. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is stocked with snake oil sellers and quacks.

For years, the disability community has been used by industry as a shield against Medicare For All.
In new polling from @dataforprogress.org, we asked disabled voters whether they support M4A:
62% Support among voters who ID as disabled

I spent far more time dealing with snow today than I did knitting, which is exactly the wrong way around!
After shoveling out the driveway, and literally shoveling off the car, I then tried to actually get down the alley to my street, and got very, very stuck.
