If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social A woman who has been going to the same gym as I do for years, and who has barely ever glanced in my direction, interrupted my trainer this week to point at my Struct Scrutiny Dissent shirt and give me a thumbs up. I think we’re best friends now.

The problem with needing reading glasses as you age is that sometimes you accidentally look at your hand through all of that magnification

Thanks to the United States Supreme Court for convincing Donald Trump that he could pursue every dangerous, terrible idea and never face consequences.

“Post secondary education should be a path to a well paying career *aligned with workforce needs*” 😳 Communist China anyone?

Keep this in mind as House Republicans vote for a budget framework that would gut Medicaid (relied on by 72 million) and food stamp programs (relied on by 42 million people).

Things I’m doubling down on: 1. Picking up more Medicaid cases and providing them with long term plans that they can implement even if/when they lose coverage. 2. Investigating what I need to line up to provide pro bono care. 1/2

Heading out for a much needed vacation after turning myself inside out for the past several months on behalf of everyone else, stressing about all of this and also the coldest Jan in years. Really hoping I can remember how to self-care and relax. Feels so foreign.

Ok, #Canada here’s a way you can help us out. Since the US has had #NIH and other health information blocked, who should we follow for info on #birdflu and other public health issues. Hoping that alarms from neighbors will help us a little??

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.
(b) The Federal contracting process shall be streamlined to enhance
speed and efficiency, reduce costs, and require Federal contractors and subcontractors to comply with our civil-rights laws. Accordingly:
(1) Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (Equal Employment Opportunity), is hereby revoked. For 90 days from the date of this order, Federal contractors may continue to comply with the regulatory scheme in effect on January 20, 2025.
(ii) The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within the Department of Labor shall immediately cease:
(A) Promoting "diversity";
(B) Holding Federal contractors and subcontractors responsible for taking "affirmative action"; and
(C) Allowing or encouraging Federal contractors and subcontractors to engage in workforce balancing based on race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion, or national origin.(iii) In accordance with Executive Order 13279 of December 12, 2002
(Equal Protection of the Laws for Faith-Based and Community
Organizations), the employment, procurement, and contracting practices of Federal contractors and subcontractors shall not consider race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion, or national origin in ways that violate the Nation's civil rights laws.
(iv) The head of each agency shall include in every contract or grant
award:
(A) A term requiring the contractual counterparty or grant recipient to agree that its compliance in all respects with all applicable Federal
anti-discrimination laws is material to the government's payment
decisions for purposes of section 3729(b) (4) of title 31, United States
Code; and
(B) A term requiring such counterparty or recipient to certify that it does not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable
Federal anti-discrimination laws.
