Republicans changed the rules. They don't get to complain when Democrats follow them: courthousenews.com/blue-slips-off…

We've been doing this for years. Study after study finds long wait times, comprehensive assessments and regret rates below 5%.

And every time, transphobes assure us that the *next* batch of data will reveal rushed transitions and thousands of detransitioners.

After Jesse Watters ran this segment and Trump posted it, this juror asked to be excused because she was concerned about her identity becoming public. Fox & Trump are coordinating to intimidate jurors.

The real “strategic blunder” by ⁦NPR⁩ and other targets of this anti-democratic attack machine is not confronting it head-on.

Rufo is, by his own terms, a “counter-revolutionary” zealot. He’s funded by billionaire extremists to take you out. FFS fight back.

For the record, I think *all criminal defendants* should be allowed to pause their trials to attend lifetime events like graduations and funerals of close blood relatives.

But since we're not going to do that for Black people we can't start doing it for Trump.

Fascinating to watch these people learn about basic aspects of criminal procedure and immediately deem them 'insane'

Why are we quibbling over whether systemic racism exists? It does. Why are we quibbling over who experiences implicit bias? Everyone does.

The whole point of it being 'systemic' is that we are ALL impacted and it's just a question of how aware and resistant we are.

For The Nation: Fearing legal threats, doctors are performing C-sections – which carry greater medical risk – in lieu of abortions. This 'disturbing' trend is emerging in *at least* Texas and Louisiana –– and experts predict it will become more common: thenation.com/article/societ…

Good morning! The Senate Judiciary Committee is hearing from 4 of Biden's judicial picks today.

But first: Lindsey Graham is yelling about border issues and blaming Biden for problems, and Dick Durbin is saying oh no no sir, Donald Trump killed our bipartisan immigration bill.

By an 8–9 vote, the 5th Circuit refuses to reconsider a decision blocking the Texas law forcing any booksellers that do business with public schools to issue sexual content ratings for all materials they have ever sold. Ho leads the dissenters. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2455…

On Monday, the Supreme Court effectively eliminated the right to hold a Black Lives Matter protest in three US states.

On Tuesday, the same justices were very, very afraid that January 6 insurrectionists are being treated unfairly.

UPDATE: Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik said on March 28 that 'it's about to get worse for Planet Fitness' and since then, at least 44 locations of the fitness chain have reported bomb threats.

We knew it was coming, but kind of wild Justice Thomas participated in an oral argument about criminal charges for January 6th rioters this morning when his wife was one of the protestors that day—and had worked assiduously to get the 2020 election overturned.
