After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Feels important to uplift Rep Pressley's leadership. She puts in a lot of work on issues that others often don't see as a priority. I've appreciated her anti-criminalization work over the years. She's a worker.
“Discharge petitions almost never work. They require 218 signatures — a majority of the full House — and party leadership in both chambers typically treats them as threats to institutional order. On immigration, they have historically died well short of threshold. This one didn’t."
After a successful discharge petition, the House approves a bill forcing the Trump Administration to give some 350,000 Haitians in the U.S. a temporary legal immigration status - letting them stay in the country. 10 GOP lawmakers voted Yes.

🚨 NEW @ms.now: Trump’s DOJ paid more than $1 million to settle a case against an anti-abortion protester that *checks notes* a Bush-appointed judge dismissed.
It’s the latest example of the DOJ going to great lengths to kowtow to previously prosecuted anti-abortion protesters ⤵️
Meta recently added new restrictions around "Antifa content" on Facebook and Instagram. Internal documents I reviewed show it applies when a user merely uses the word "Antifa" in a post.

For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.
Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.
How come no one is talking about this?
This is murder.

Also I need journalism to stop covering this like a “prediction” it’s a threat.
It's not punishment to say that someone with power who has abused that power doesn't get to get more power. That's a consequence. Some of you are truly ridiculous.
there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes
Okay CTA. This is a good sign.
The USPS can't "run out of money," the sole question is the people in charge of the federal government believe delivering mail is worth funding the same way they already fund armed kidnapping gangs, concentration camps, and blowing up girls' schools.

I hate that contract negotiations are not going better, but this is where we are. Today my colleagues and I @propublica.org are walking out. We need management to come to the table with more serious contract proposals that address our real concerns about discipline, job protections and fair wages.
Surprised that ProPublica is on strike? SO ARE WE! The contract we're being offered is NOT in line with the values of the place we love. For me, this is about job protections and AI protections for future generations of journalists. Read more about how we got here: www.propublicaguild.org
Israeli Army: Largest Strikes on Lebanon Since War Began
The Israeli military says it carried out its widest wave of airstrikes on Lebanon since the start of the war with Iran, launching 100 strikes in just 10 minutes.
The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging.
The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."
Nothing I could say about the GOP base is as illustrative as the fact that Trump understands that posting black people in what his audience considers a “white space” will make them incandescently angry bsky.app/profile/atru...
