Transgender teen can't legally change name until age 21, Mississippi Supreme Court rules, even though both parents support change https://www.advocate.com/law/mississippi-transgender-teen-name-change
Bans on gender affirming care are so obviously not rooted in science or parental rights.
Bill requiring Ten Commandments display in Arkansas public buildings becomes law https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/local-regional-news/2025-04-15/bill-requiring-ten-commandments-display-in-arkansas-public-buildings-becomes-law
This includes every public school classroom from K to colleges
And not just any Decalogue. The law specifies language, which includes
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife..."
Apart from being age inappropriate for five year olds, sexist much?

Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/us/harvard-trump-reject-demands.html
From response letter of Harvard's lawyers: "The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal govt."
More of this "fuck off" energy please.
Just say NO.

@stephanie Okay, I found 10 CFR 430, "ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM FOR CONSUMER PRODUCTS."
There's definitions at squiggle 430.2 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/10/430.2), and here’s what it says for "showerhead":
"Showerhead means a component or set of components distributed in commerce for attachment to a single supply fitting, for spraying water onto a bather, typically from an overhead position, excluding safety shower showerheads.”
It does not appear to have been amended today.

A Playbook for Standing Up to Trump:
“The three law firms that have filed suits to block Mr. Trump’s executive orders — Jenner & Block, Perkins Coie and WilmerHale — provide a model. So far, they are winning in court. Importantly, they have won the backing of many conservatives. As our counterparts on The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board wrote, Mr. Trump’s campaign against law firms “breaks a cornerstone principle of American justice.””

Ich hoffe, es kommt zu einer Untersuchung des Verhaltens der verantwortlichen Beamten, über Gewalt/Sachschäden gab es keine Meldung.
