/1 Today Harvard sued the Trump Admin in Mass. federal court, disputing the public fund freeze. Interestingly,there is still an active lawsuit AGAINST Harvard pending in the same court alleging many of the facts that formed the basis of the Trump admin’s decision to freeze funds.
/2 See, Kestenbaum v. Harvard, #24-10092-RGS. Therein, Harvard lost its motion to dismiss (for failure to state a claim) on Aug. 6, 2024. I am copying in comments below the relevant portions of the holding. It is quite damning in its recitation of Harvard’s actions & inactions.
/3 You will read posts about Harvard being hamstrung by the 1st Amend (“We couldn’t stop students from saying bad things”) but Harvard is a private institution and NOT bound by the 1st. Even if it were, Harvard’s conduct as outlined by the judge seems to justify a freeze.
/4 Screenshots of relevant portions of decision in case brought by @ShabbosK FYI- @BenTelAviv Image

1/2 Rather than mourn the death of Israeli hostages today, @LegalAidNYC ‘s 30 year vet would like you to think Israel targeted their very assassination. Not killed by Hamas; not accidentally killed by IDF when buildings were bombed, but literally targeted. Bizarre & cruel claim?
2/2 Yes and it’s brought to you through the funding of NYC Biglaw firms like @DavisPolk, @Debevoise & @Cravath which fund LegalAid Society. Image

@DavisPolk @Debevoise @Cravath Yes, it’s the same 30 year vet of @LegalAidNYC who “fist-bumped” Hamas and also claimed that every single kibbutz resident killed on 10/7 was killed by Israeli forces. Yes, even the ones we saw killed by Gazans on Gazans’ own Go Pros. Image

@SharmaarkeJaan1 @GonenYonatan Before Oct 7th? You mean your slaughter of children & pregnant woman eating pizza at Sbarro’s in 2001 during your “second intifada” & a year later celebrating that “victory”s anniversary by creating an Exhibition in Nablus re-enacting it complete w/ fake blood & child body parts?
@SharmaarkeJaan1 @GonenYonatan Or last January when you showed up at Friday night prayers in Neve Yakov and opened fire on a 14 year old and others killing 7 and wounding three?
@SharmaarkeJaan1 @GonenYonatan Or Nov. 26, 2021, when you ambushed a 26 yr old African man named Eliyahu David Kay on his way to prayer at the Western Wall?

1/3 To the extent Titan can be located based on sonar data they have showing banging every 30 minutes (hard, bc the sonar buoys drift), here is what seems to be in place based as of Wednesday evening:

#Titan
2/3
1. Rigging/recovery cable able to reach proper depths; 
2. An FDOSS sent by US Navy (heavy duty salvage vehicle able to haul Titan up using the cable)
3. Ship equipped w/ 2 remote controlled underwater vessels, presumably able to get down there to attach cable to Titan.
3/3. I don’t know if this will all work out but medics have been mobilized and are being flown in with decompression chambers arriving Wednesday by 10 pm, latest. Sources: Rescue team statements in Time, People, Rolling Stone and @USCGNortheast

@troonytoons /1 Cramping is contracting of the uterus, an organ that is usually absent in Trans Men. If a person w/ chromosome XY has a uterus it is likely a condition called PMDS (intersex). As such, a PMDS would be treated medically different than XYs transitioning without a uterus.
@troonytoons /2 Bloating is caused by a fairly pronounced drop in progesterone, but that drop happens only when it’s necessary to trigger shedding of the uterine lining (the “period”). Usually around once per month.
@troonytoons /3 Even if a Trans Woman is adding a bio-similar progesterone (in addition to estrogen), doctors are not once per month adding and then artificially dropping it. So they do not experience bloating. I’ll stop there. I’m not trying to rain on Trans Women parades. Rather, ….

@LexiGreene8 @john_s_556 @Logically_JC 1/3 Sorry guys but he’s right. For change, everyone needs to learn how the three branches of government work. And State constitutions, state versus federal laws, and the role of the courts. Here’s a start: everyone sat on their asses too lazy to actually…
@LexiGreene8 @john_s_556 @Logically_JC 2/3 Roe. People relied on a flimsy decision to address a hugely important topic, no matter which way you roll. State legislators & federal legislators should have been required by their constituents, who are lazy and don’t do the work required to understand how shit works, to…
@LexiGreene8 @john_s_556 @Logically_JC 3/3. pass a law that no person may prohibit or restrict access to abortion. Period. Instead, they relied on a Supreme Court which is not allowed to make laws and was basically forced to base abortion rights on rights provided by the existing Constitution….

@HenryBouchard7 @evan7257 1/3 Understood. But better to grandstand at the legislators’ homes or show up at their places of business (most have second jobs). When Beto…
@HenryBouchard7 @evan7257 2/3 …does this to the governor as opposed to legislators:

(1) the legislators are relieved bc they know they’re the ones responsible for passing laws yet aren’t getting any heat, only the Gov; and
@HenryBouchard7 @evan7257 3/3 ….also

(2) Due to #1, & the fact that Beto knows the Gov doesn’t pass the laws, and is currently running for the same office, it comes across as a campaign grandstand.
