So much handwringing about Gen Z and if social media has rotted their brains, meanwhile students across the country are putting their academic careers on the line for Gaza are demonstrating more moral clarity on this issue than most of the our elected leaders. The kids are fine.

The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy. UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence. If you or someone you know needs legal support, call the Austin Lawyers Guild: 512-817-4254
BREAKING: President Biden just signed into law a bill that will effectively ban TikTok. We'll keep saying it: This ban directly violates the First Amendment rights of the over 170 million Americans who use the platform.
Struck by how much of our entire political structure is set up to only hand out human dignity as a reward for sufficient suffering. Humanity that is only granted upon the performance of the right kinds of agony cannot really be called "humanity" at all

Hello darkness my old friend
I have about as low an opinion as possible of the anti-choice movement and I did not think anything could surprise me anymore. But I’m really chilled by Idaho’s arguments at SCOTUS this morning. These people are bloodthirsty.
I don't know how to raise my daughter in a country where the Supreme Court is debating how many organs are ok for women to lose before providing healthcare

I feel like this is where abortion opponents tip their hand? Like, unless a pregnant woman dies, who cares if she loses organs or is permanently disabled. Putting "health" in scare quotes and arguing against health-saving abortions is maybe not as effective as you think it is.
Biden's attorney, General Elizabeth Prelogar, just tipped their hand. It's not about saving the LIFE of the mother, it about "health" -- The word abortion lovers have used in courts since Roe and Doe to demand abortion through all 9 months, for any reason at all, and even with…
calling everyone you don't agree with politically a terrorist sympathizer hasn't worked since like 2011 at the latest. kind of baffling to see it being deployed this often
Today in @thenation we have a piece by Lujayn, a 14-year-old girl in Gaza, that has floored me every time I've read it. It's about what happened when an Israeli bulldozer came to destroy the house she was staying in, and you must, must, must read it. thenation.com/article/world/…
Here is a somber truth of creative life. If it goes well at first people will begin to ask you for things. Each of those requests, no matter how kind or genuine or even beneficial to your own career and finance as well as someone else's, will pull you from your true purpose.
Listening to Ivy-league educated judges pretend not to understand that some abortions are medically necessary is making me feel like I am absolutely losing my mind.
So much handwringing about Gen Z and if social media has rotted their brains, meanwhile students across the country are putting their academic careers on the line for Gaza are demonstrating more moral clarity on this issue than most of the our elected leaders. The kids are fine.
Now, at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities: an emergency protest has mobilized upwards of 1,000 UMN students & staff — now gathered outside Memorial Union. student protestors arrested this morning have been released, and the Solidarity Encampment is being re-established.
Ideally a federal constitution would have something like an "Equal Protection Clause" that would prohibit a state from requiring just one group of people to undergo pain and suffering short of death.
This will gives a single US official authority to strip US non-profits orgs of their non-profit status in a peremptory manner, w/ virtually no limitations, accountability, or meaningful recourse, based merely on his declaration they are “terrorist supporting organizations” 3/

Incredible piece with a god-tier lede
Kept waiting and waiting for someone to write about polyamory, but nobody else seemed interested so I did it myself yalereview.org/article/brandy…
If I wanted to stop the momentum of the student push for Palestinian liberation I would probably not have opted to pursue a repressive course of action that explicitly affirms the numerous connections between the Palestinian struggle and the movement for police abolition
From the archive: A debate between Noam Chomsky, Susan Sontag, Hannah Arendt, and Connor Cruise O'Brien moderated by Robert B. Silvers on "The Legitimacy of Violence as a Political Act" from 1967 chomsky.info/19671215/
UT Austin students chanting “You don’t scare us” even as countless militarized Texas Troopers swarm their campus, attack their protest, and bring in horses. This movement will not be stopped.
The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy. UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence. If you or someone you know needs legal support, call the Austin Lawyers Guild: 512-817-4254

Conservative Justices are very worried that EMTALA might make religious hospitals provide abortions to save someone's major bodily functions. It shows how extreme their view of religious liberty has gotten. Harm to corporate conscience > women being permanently maimed.
This is going somewhat worse for Idaho than I would have expected, but the relative silence of the conservatives is making this hard to read thus far.
👀Justice Barrett jumps in for the first time to accuse Idaho's attorney of "hedging" and giving contradictory answers about what is allowed under the state's ban.
