Congrats to Third Way and friends for effectively calling out No Labels BS
No Labels has written an eight-page letter to DOJ full of nonsense and whining and accusing its enemies of violating, among other things, RICO, which merits the @kenwhite.bsky.social bat signal.

It’s really bizarre seeing the reaction to Haley's comments about the civil war with almost no one talking about the fact many elementary and high schools teach an alternative form of history that reinforces or outright says it was not about slavery, but was about “Lincoln‘s dictatorial power.”
Folks are reacting to Nikki Haley's nonsense as though the "slavery wasn't the cause of the Civil War" argument weren't common & widely accepted across the US. I was taught it in a suburban Nebraska high school in the early 2000s. It's white comfort in a nutshell & white USians do nothing better.

College Administrations Are Failing Their Palestinian and Jewish Students
Campus activists say many university leaders have declined to protect Arab and Muslim students, and by conflating Israel and Judaism have only stoked antisemitism.

Cancer patient here; they wouldn’t give me paxlovid because of interactions. Spent three weeks in the hospital as a result. Why don’t people believe Taylor when says these things?
How many times do disabled people need to explain to you that Paxlovid is not accessible, affordable, and many of us can’t take it (in some cases thanks to covid induced organ damage).

Given the very specific circumstances, I'd either check to see if I'm on drugs or if the baby is on drugs and if the latter find out where I could get some because clearly those are some gooooood drugs.

The joke among law students, c. 1990, about to take the Ethics Exam was that all you had to do was pick the second most ethical choice to every question.
But for the S.Ct., just pick any answer at random and you'll be fine.
