Alito is like 30% of the reason the standard of care needed to be politicized because he doesn't rule based on medical or social evidence of harm from laws that prevent care.

Justice Alito, in full troll mode, said states can't fully rely on medical consensus to determine what's the standard of care because that consensus has sometimes been politicized and "taken over by ideology." He then cites Buck v. Bell the case about eugenic sterilization (though he misquoted it)

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

In approving a drug, the FDA is giving its stamp of approval that it is safe and effective.

Yes, this FDA. Said that about mifepristone.

Whip is an elected senior leadership position in the House and I'm annoyed they edited to erase her title rather than correcting her ranking.

NEW: In my investigation for @prismreports.org published today, I report on how rare it is for women to obtain H-2A agricultural visas to work in the U.S. When they do, many report experiencing gender-based violence:
She managed to get a farmworker visa. Once in the U.S., she endured abuse.
A Prism investigation reveals that women are routinely shut out of the H-2A program. Those who get in report doing non-agricultural labor and facing sexual violence and trafficking

Acetaminophen is one of the few medically approved pain relievers during pregnancy due to a lot of factors (including how we do clinical trials). Sowing doubt over Tylenol with no alternatives says we are okay with pregnancy being painful b/c we mistook a R-squared value for reality.

New piece in The Conversation on Kirk and why his vision for education in America is so important for our understanding of the conservative movement.

theconversation.com/charlie-kirk...
Charlie Kirk talked with young people at universities for a reason – he wanted American education to return to traditional values
Charlie Kirk’s education beliefs have deep roots that predate the MAGA movement and trace back to the 1960s.

For those who don't speak 4Chan Shitposter With Incomprehensible Beliefs, here's a quick rundown on these bullet messages:
a Shitposter to English guide of the shooter's bullet casings "Notices bulges OwO whats this": This comes from an Imgur cartoon from 2015 that mocks two furries engaging in sex roleplay. It spawned a Tumblr meme. "hey fascist! Catch! Up right down down down" This is a strategem cheat code from the video game Helldivers 2 to unlock a 500kg bomb. O bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao ciao: This is a WWII-era anti-fascist song sung by Italian peasants, it gained meme popularity from the Spanish Netflix show Money Heist

In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses.

People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Kennedy on a media tear to make it seem like he’s got widespread support. The anti-vaxx movement has been very very good at using social media to appear huge, when it has in fact been a small but vocal and well-organized minority with opinions way outside the mainstream. Unclear whether it’ll work.
