NEWS: A federal judge Monday said the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision may *not* have ended the constitutional right to an abortion.
She wants briefing on whether the 13th amendment — or any other — might confer such a right.

$100/month puts Twitter's API out of reach for government services, researchers, individual developers, and hobbyists, while still being cost-effective for scammers, propagandists, and data harvesters.
Quote Tweet
Replying to @BillyM2k and @ericnakagawa
Yeah, free API is being abused badly right now by bot scammers & opinion manipulators. There’s no verification process or cost, so easy to spin up 100k bots to do bad things.
Just ~$100/month for API access with ID verification will clean things up greatly.

🚨 The 5th Circuit just said govt cant temporarily disarm a person found to pose a threat to another & subject to a DV restraining order. It strains analogies to discard past laws disarming dangerous folks, but this is the key: the founders didnt care abt DV, so modern laws cant.
Quote Tweet
Looks like we're going to get a new Supreme Court ruling on the Second Amendment sooner rather than later because this new Fifth Circuit ruling strikes down the federal law prohibiting firearm possession by those subject to DV restraining orders.
