@chasa It's true. There was four inches of plexiglass between me and that grizzly at the Columbus zoo, and WE HAD A MOMENT!

Lori Smith had never designed a wedding website when she filed this case. She fabricated a request from a fictional couple, and the ADF took it all the way to the top. There is truly no limit to the lies these people will tell to protect the delusion of their victimhood.

Once a business owner asserts a religious objection to running an integrated lunch counter (and that brand of Christianity does exist out there)... we're right back here.

An especially powerful paragraph by Justice Sotomayor blasting the new SCOTUS decision against LGBT rights.

There is no limiting principle in 303 Creative. Any service that has a remotely expressive component can result in a denial of service under anti-discrimination laws. Nobody is safe from bigotry in the public square.

An elite, white majority determining after just 50 years of weak, half-hearted
affirmative action efforts, that they are the ones to decide that enough has been done to address centuries of explicit racial exclusion against Black people is the most American ruling ever.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.

70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

A must read article on the death of affirmative action.

“There came a moment when Prigozhin was no longer Putin’s puppet. Pinocchio became a real boy.”

Two of my favorite people: @zygaro talks to David Remnick about what the hell happened yesterday.

If you are an abortion provider in Pennsylvania, know that your work has never been more important. We have your back.

If you’re in a state that has banned abortion care, our doors are open.

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

among the most depraved positions of the conservative court majority is their view that it's just tough shit if you're imprisoned — even executed — for a crime you didn't commit, or for an action that wasn't even a crime. https://t.co/EKMKMR5Ilq

Is it absolutely necessary to unlock the cage after the fight is done?

My biggest takeaway from the Titan story is that we absolutely could have coordinated, multinational efforts to ensure no migrant dies crossing the sea and we choose not to.
