What a win for free speech!

Kansas... the Free State...

Or not. 🙄

Attorneys will argue Friday in Douglas County court over whether a judge should delay enforcement of a law that invalidates driver’s licenses for those who changed their gender marker and restricts bathroom use based on sex assigned at birth. Via @kansasreflector.com: lawrenceks.news/46Xq3Ar

"The laws of decency condemn such villainy."

Now that's a quote for the ages.

This may be the ultimate test of our medical boards. While maybe not explicitly illegal to help a child rapist cover up medical evidence of sexual violence against children, most of these confirmed stories violate mandatory reporting laws … in addition to the basic medical ethics and professionalism

It’s not “identity politics” to not want to be denied equality or mistreated because of your identity. In case anyone was wondering.

I agree with all the slave ship & forced labor camp comparisons, but also, on a practical level, this is not how you build a detention center where you expect either violent inmates or long-term prisoners. The very floorplans betray the obvious lie; they are meant to warehouse harmless folks.

Judge orders DC police to release bodycam videos related to DOGE takeover of Institute of Peace RCFP attorneys represented journalist Marisa Kabas in a public records lawsuit seeking access to the police bodycam footage.

“This is an important win not just for The Handbasket but for the promise of transparency in DC. The court’s ruling vindicates the public’s right of access to body cam footage, and ensures that the public will get a full and accurate accounting of the episode at the US Institute of Peace last year.”

Trump sounds like a psychopath right now. “I’m allowed to destroy a country, but I can’t charge them one dollar.”

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS?

In case you don't already know what an abuser sounds like:

"You've resisted ( #tariffs) so now I will make you pay; now I will hurt you even more. I will destroy you. I can do anything I want until you submit"

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Incredible.

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.

That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.

We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

Tariffic news!

We all have been mistaken for some other random Asian people we don’t even look like. But this happens AFTER you win a gold medal?

This guy is never going to get laid, let alone married.

Feeling weirdly emotional about this. We (democracy) needed a win, and this is a big one.

(The little wins count too, and at the same time, a big one helps feed my hope!)

HELL no. Your own hometown newspaper (which in better times for the paper I used to write for) gets your identity wrong with a racist photoswap in a post about the biggest night of your life?

A paper serving a majority Asian American metro population?

Apology, retraction, sackcloth and ashes.

John Ritchie was quite a guy, from donating land that became Washburn University, land that became Monroe Elementary (see Brown v. BOE), and land that was to be used as a free cemetery for those "too poor to purchase lots at the Topeka Cemetery" -Wikipedia

The Brown v. Board of Education museum in Topeka is excellent.

And nearby is the Ritchie house that has a storied history and restoration, and was a stop on the Underground Railroad!

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

NBC appears to cut crowd’s booing of JD Vance from Winter Olympics broadcast The US vice-president, JD Vance, was greeted by a chorus of boos during when he appeared at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan on Friday

The US is being fed propaganda.

This a particularly egregious example of 'voluntary' censorship, and is ultimately pointless - the uncensored content is circulating widely online.

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
