Look--I'd say right now is the perfect point in Pride Weekend to read my latest for @contingent-mag.bsky.social.
It's about gay sex in films, the myths we inherit but don't have to keep, and why there's never an acceptable line for selling out the community.
Go on--read it before you head out

There's something really interesting going on here methodologically in Justice Jackson's Medina v. Planned Parenthood dissent. You can see it in one footnote.
In short, Jackson is emphasizing that Black Americans are part of the original "public" about which "originalists" should be concerned.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.
