📌Greg Abbott received a $7.4 million dollar judgement in 1985 when a tree fell on him putting him in a wheelchair. When he later ran for office, he was instrumental in passing tort reform laws capping insurance payouts for victims of accidents like his at $750,000. Enough of these horrible people.

Excellent article on what’s at stake with the so-called Protect College Sports Act: a return to the extreme exploitation of college athletes. No one who cares about labor, college athletes, antitrust laws or competition should support this corrupt power grab by the NCAA & multibillion $$$ industry.

#MedicareforallNOW My Mom’s sitter has a raging kidney infection. She spent $75 on an urgent care co-pay only to be sent to the ER. Just checked in w/ her & found she hadn’t picked up her meds yet because she spent her last $ on the co-pay. Just Venmoed her $ for meds. US healthcare is a disaster.

The ABA’s apparent efforts to placate its foes by changing its accreditation standards to avoid governmental retribution speak to several audiences. Law schools, law students, lawyers, and the public learn that the ABA is willing to toss aside even the mildest commitments to an inclusive profession and society. Opponents know that the ABA will undermine its own existence in order to try to keep the peace and its power. And the government sees that coming up with new threats pays off.
