To have read this and automatically assume it was just about snowflake kids who wanted things to be easier says a lot about a person's mindset. Also, though, the story's framing, beginning with the lede, made that type of response more likely.

If someone asks you for your cloak, give them your tunic also. But if someone compels you to provide health insurance coverage for proven interventions to mitigate deadly diseases, on the other hand….

Let us be clear: PrEP is essential to combating the transmission of HIV and keeping the public healthy. Today's ruling from Texas is an example of every person becoming a law unto themself in the name of religion but for the sole purpose of subordinating gay men and trans women.

BREAKING Shocker: Denver DA Beth McCann just announced she is going to launch a Grand Jury investigation into last month's LoDo shooting which saw 6 bystanders shot by Denver Police. More to come. Body cam expected to be released this aft.

There is no specialer snowflake, nobody quicker to demand retreat to a safe space, than the contrarian "free speech" crusader faced with any dissent (even of the silent variety) from people they perceive as being of lower social status
this is very good but also it is WILD that two prominent advocates and academics wrote a whole essay about how free discourse is under assault because some high school students quietly walked out of a talk popehat.substack.com/p/the-p…

One of the really remarkable things here is for all the braying about political persecution, there's been remarkably little from the Trump camp actually denying that he had classified documents, or that the government had a right to get them back.
Some of the documents that the F.B.I. took as they searched for documents that Trump had withheld were labeled "top secret," according to the inventory that the agents provided Trump's team with nytimes.com/2022/08/11/us/po…

This statement by McConnell and the rampant speculation about the Mar-a-Lago search mask a general truth: Much of what police and prosecutors do is hidden from the public.
That causes problems not only with high-profile investigations, but democratic control of law enforcement.

Democrats need to put a clean bill that codifies Griswold's right to contraception on the floor NOW.
If it passes, we'll head off what's coming. And if it fails, people will see what the plan is.
Don't let them say that contraception is safe. Make them prove it.

Reminder: THERE IS STILL NOTHING MODERATE ABOUT AN OPINION GUTTING ROE/CASEY EVEN IF IT’S NOT OUTRIGHT OVERRULING THEM IMMEDIATELY
NEW —- Chief Justice Roberts appears to lose the reins. He sought to write moderate opinion upholding 15 week abortion ban, source says, but ultra conservative wing told him they had votes to overturn Roe.

That would not be a moderate opinion. It would severely curtail a constitutional right that has been guaranteed for fifty years.
