In the Dobbs decision, Justice Alito claimed that Roe v. Wade was “egregiously wrong from the start.” That’s not what he told us when he came before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing. Back then, he called Roe v. Wade an “important precedent.”

Dear Justice Alito: Nobody is defending you because the behavior has been indefensible- Thomas getting over $1 million in lavish gifts (including for his mom). Gorsuch not disclosing law firm head paid lots of money for his property. Kavanaugh & Gorsuch lying to get confirmed.
🎻NEW: “We are being hammered daily, and I think quite unfairly in a lot of instances. And nobody, practically nobody, is defending us.” @Jezebel – Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito https://t.co/JF0279DCM6

“Women shall have equal rights in the [U.S.] & every place subject to its jurisdiction. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the [U.S.] or by any State on account of sex.” Senate Republicans just voted to block that from going in the Constitution.

Column: America vanquished the 'ancient atrocity' of child labor. Republicans are bringing it back
latimes.com
The moral scourge of child labor was supposedly eradicated in America more than 100 years ago. Red states are bringing it back in the name of parental rights.

when you encounter them, don't engage (in increases their rating by twitter's algorithm). BLOCK (it hurts their rating).
If you're a prominent climate account on twitter, there are organized teams funded by fossil fuel groups, dark money organizations & petrostates who will now target your tweets with trollbot attacks. Elon Musk--who bought twitter w/ help from the Saudis & Russia--enabled this.

My favorite bit was hearing the SpaceX bros continuing to clap and cheer as their rocket was dying. I get that engineers just love good data but. . .
i watched some random feed of the starship launch and people started clapping when it blew up (it was not supposed to blow up) and that's musk's entire career right there

It felt like one of the gag reels of the late 50s and early 60s rocket tests. Explosions, engine failures, parts flying off, tumbling. . .hope they got lots of good data!
via @NYTimes: The launch “did not achieve its most ambitious goals.” That’s in way to describe an explosion. @ErikMConway @LeapingRobot

Before he took over Twitter he wanted to make Tesla cars drive themselves.
