I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

It's weird, when you look back on the coverage of Jackie Robinson integrating Major League Baseball, there weren't a lot of these sympathetic pieces about the fans practicing their rights of freedom of speech by screaming the N-word at him. Progress!

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

Regulating a therapeutic intervention is different from banning speech. You can say whatever you want in your personal life, but you can't harm your clients. I can't believe two of the liberal justices were convinced differently.

That's the truth. I don't know if I'm roughly your age. I'm likely older. But I was in my first tenure-track position and the future felt remarkably full of possibility. The whiplash is profoundly disorienting...and I wasn't naive to all of the work we still had left either.

Dear god, please no. "Uncontroversial" i.e. status quo is always presented as de facto more electable but there's not actually any reason to believe that to be true. What we do know is that if it is true, we get the status quo. And we simply can't afford that another minute longer.

Is there a list I can follow of videos of ICE falling on its face or otherwise getting humiliated? Because right now that is sustaining me. Relatedly, I wonder what would happen if crowds of protesters just laughed loudly and prolonged in response to everything ICE did.

Totally. I've been trying to get the willpower to call and leave a message about abolishing ICE again, but when you have a representative who is this callous, evil, and clearly disinterested in listening to her constituents (all the way down to closing offices), it's hard to feel it's worth my time.

Ah, bummer. I hoped it was a little later - trying to plan a trip to catch a few things after my semester is over, but I suspect I will miss this one. Sending you love and solidarity.

She is a disgrace. I'd say she's a joke, but the consequences of her bootlicking and self-indulgence are very very serious.

I could look it up but I miss you, so I'd rather ask you - when is it running?
