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.

The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to issue a ruling that could weaken or even eliminate a key part of the Voting Rights Act that’s critical to challenging racial discrimination in election maps. Here’s how this could upend Mississippi:
And that was also a failed moment because people allowed him to split hairs and do the plausible deniability thing instead of clearly explaining and driving home why voting for him was a vote for this seemingly 3rd-party agenda. It was a major strategic error on behalf of an entire ecosystem.
also folks were afraid that if they amplified it would draw attention and they weren't sure that they or their orgs would be protected in the blow back
Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.
I wasn't alive in the US in 1860. I'm alive today and I see the foul shit the government is doing TODAY. I can speak to that from experience. Doesn't mean that I am negating the foul shit from 1860.
Federal immigration agents based in the New York City field office arrested three times as many people in early 2026 compared to the same time period in 2025: gothamist.visitlink.me/fCl2vP
very few sounds sweeter to my ears than a Southern drawl saying “It’s giving war crime. You can’t do that.”
"Schumer takes no action" will be on his tombstone
25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.
Still thinking about all the folks back in 2023 who didn't want to talk about Project 2025 in hopes it would just blow over.
hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t
Trump is holding an entire nation hostage. But, somehow, the rest of the world continues on. The markets chug along. Congress continues to be in recess, with dissent confined largely to social media. It is hard not to feel like we have failed some critical test of the bounds of our own humanity.
@thewaywithanoa.bsky.social writes, "We need to clearly map the landscape we are currently operating within and name the harm, because Trump is not alone."
Sometime soon we’re going to see some kind of weird conflict between the right wing Catholics on SCOTUS and the right wing Protestants elsewhere
"Cyndie Hutchings, another activist, said opposition to data centers has the potential to swing elections ...
'They tell me that they are lifelong Republican voters, but this has changed the way they’re looking at everything.'"
Oh.
On today's episode, we go deep on the Christian influencers pushing for War with Iran. Plus, @akelalacy.bsky.social

States are dogged in their introduction & advancement of bad bills to target free speech, press, access to information. Here’s an excellent piece on a bill I’m disturbed by in GA, where we’re actively fighting for open govt & records: georgiarecorder.com/2026/03/27/g...
Question for fans of Paradise who have also watched Fringe... am I the only one seeing parallels between Sinatra and Walter and Peter and Dylan?
They did this to our organization.
well i dunno who i trust more on this, the most prestigious medical association on earth or four dipshits who asked claude to sum up some cherry picked papers
I wrote about this a few years ago, focusing on the changes in the law and how these practices would make it difficult for people who use texting for good. Dems keep using consultants who are focused on money and don't give two shits about the infrastructure they are destroying.
Resharing this request from a fellow fan:
Please respectfully let Paramount know how you feel about the way they're handling this and other Trek series. The head of original series production is Jane Wiseman, at jane.wiseman@paramount.com.
Because it's intentional and aimed at killing diverse projects.
I really believe it was coordinated to give Skydance/Paramount pretense. Just looking at the FB fan group and how many posts every week were about how much people hated the show etc. It was wild to really watch unfold. But so good.
