Last month, he forced Rhode Island Hospital to hand over patient records of trans children to him, personally, even circumventing a Trump-appointee who tried to protect the records. He's a judge in Northern Texas, 1,800 miles away from where the records are actually located.

In 2015 he tried to prevent family medical leave from applying to queer couples. He blocked a rule requiring public schools to let trans students use the right bathroom. He ruled that an employer good bar its workers from having gay sex or transitioning.

NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.

The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.

This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.

I wrote about the maze within a maze that NYCHA tenants have to navigate to get repairs done.

[City Limits @CityLimitsNews]

Inspections by the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development are one of the only tools NYCHA tenants have for securing overdue repairs. But tenants and legal advocates say scheduling snafus make those fights even harder. https://t.co/7t8oqm1HkL

That the NYT propelled her ascent and is now breathlessly covering the ensuing wreckage is totally lost on her. An ideology of perpetual victimhood means she'll never see the machine for what it is, how it already functions in her favor.

The % of Dems who have a positive view of Israel is at 13%—less than the % of Dems who support full abortion bans & prayer in schools. Here I ask why US media keeps insisting support for Israel is “dividing democrats” when—in reality—it’s a fringe position https://t.co/61BRqAQQwo

Truly a must read story. What they did to journalist Amal Khalil, with the world watching and praying for her, is unspeakable. https://t.co/lHJs3uHtIJ

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

The legendary Al Jazeera journalist Wael Al Dahdouh, whose wife, children and grandchild were killed by Israel, said he was disappointed that fellow journalists did not pressure the world to stop the killing in Gaza.

“The truth was also a casualty of the genocide.”

Marxist economist Prabhat Patnaik discusses the dialectics of aggression vs. the dialectics of resistance — and how the entire Global South may in be danger of recolonization if Iran falls.

In any case, how impressive is it for a model to calculate that carrot & rabbit are correlated? Or that "grab it" rhymes with "rabbit?" That's what all the data in the world, the trillions of gallons of water, the metric tons of pollution is worth? That's what all this is worth?

The central question of this article—"does this thing think and feel?"—is a useful pivot for tech companies when the answer to "can it do useful shit" is too often no, especially for how expensive AI is.

I was curious about the couplet, so I googled it. This second-grade level couplet is being milked for all its worth, hung up on the wall like a child's macaroni art since MARCH of last year!
