We are underreacting to this‼️
We have no explanation on SCOTUS decisions affecting our lives.
The emergency docket, aka “shadow docket,” is the quiet backdoor of the Supreme Court. Decisions drop fast, with little explanation, and Trump is hammering it harder than anyone in modern history.

Trump repealed a Biden era minimum staffing requirement rule for nursing homes that was intended to improve the quality of care for residents and now not only will this put more money in the pockets of millionaires, it will lead to poorer outcomes and more hospitalizations for said residents

We could have eliminated Hepatitis B infection in the US…
…instead we are going to let newborn babies risk 90% chance of chronic infection that cause liver failure and cancer so that a few incredibly stupid adults - who are all vaccinated btw - can force their selfish science denial on other people

This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪
“… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

I miss having an FTC which could be counted on to at least *try* to challenge this netflix/WB shit.
To be clear: This would be bad if it was Paramount, or, fuck forbid, Disney, too. Like… This monopoly shit is bad! Bad for "consumer choice," or w/e, but also just bad for like… creativity & stories.

again, the supreme court did not write the constitution (or the declaration) and—despite what you may think—they don't have the monopoly on the interpretation of those documents.
the people have a say, and if the court is out of step with the people, that's a problem for the court, not the governed

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Has anyone written a coherent, good-faith argument *against* a ban on stock trading by members of Congress, or in favor of the status quo? What is the argument lawmakers use when explaining why they don't want a vote on the matter? Having trouble finding.

Okay, of my two major crises, the housing one is solved (bless @pawsrpg.bsky.social and @nubuo.bsky.social), but I'm still working on Medicaid denying the next infusion.
I doubt I'll get it sorted by Wednesday, but hopefully, it doesn't take too long. I just need the right doctor to see me early.

The physician's assistant is looking over my history and asking questions and there's a lot of "...huh!" responses.
I think they normally deal with normal APS and not the Catastrophic variant. But they're a research place, so they're very interested in me. For better or worse.

Kinda a wild day of endlessly waiting on hold for Medicaid, a few long shots that didn't seem to pan out, then a sudden "can you get across town ASAP?" as I was just dozing off.
In a crowded waiting room now, hoping to maybe have a solution for getting Medicaid to approve my infusions again.
