On the bright side, my lecture to Harvard med school residents went well and I always enjoy doing it. So I have that for today.

Someone else put it most succinctly: "they were fine with it so long as it was happening to someone else". That's the core sickness of American society. We are fine with misery, even wish it, just so long as we believe we won't be the target of it.

"fuck you and your entire law school, you bigoted hack" is the kind of energy we need more of, good on Judge Reyes
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

As a vet, I cannot express how incredibly disappointed and disgusted in USMA for taking this action. It flies in the face of our military values. I hope this inspires officers to resign.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I know it was wildly unpopular, but the plot of the Phantom Menace is very relevant atm.
Galactic trade disputes to justify a conflict to then justify the stripping of democracy seems suddenly much more 'interesting' than when we were kids, doesn't it?

Have to double check a few cited statues but I belive this is accurate, not that the admin gives a fuck what is legal or illegal.

Plane crashes, where service members and innocent people were killed.
Our dear leader blames people who aren't straight white men for not being straight white men, and then jokes about visiting the site of the crash or the families of those affected.
Yep, that's what you voted for MAGAts.
