Startling framing!

Though, @liberalcurrents.com , I AM confused by this small example: …’some places (following Wisconsin’s example) quite brazenly enacting competitive authoritarianism.’

Gonna chew on it a while and re-read.

Logical, unemotional call to vote for the bigger goals.

‘But the choice between ordinary governance and a personality cult—especially this cult, of this personality—is not a hard one.’

You’ve got this, VA!

‘Undermining the faith FBI employees have in their mission and leadership may prove to be the most damaging legacy of Kash Patel’s tenure.’

Courage.

No. Not at all. Mom of three active duty sons.

‘Magyar noted that his government will be investigating Orbán’s expenditures, and will no longer finance CPAC or other right-wing institutions abroad.’

Great news. Steady on.

Gosh, this is so helpful. Thanks, Roger.

‘Trade under structured rules. Defense of allies.The U.S. dollar as anchor.Human rights as an aspirational direction (when not in conflict with the pursuit of economic growth).Climate stewardship as a precondition for everything else.’

Super insight and big framing!

We won’t be able to get the concessions, access, or trust we had via the Obama agreement. Not even close.

THIS! They are not good-faith negotiations.

I'm an election judge, have been for a long time. This is so WRONG.

Important history.

Experts estimate that the IRS stands to lose up to $479 billion over the next decade as immigrants face deportation and disengage from the formal economy. https://wapo.st/4vvl1pj

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Learn whatever you want about "law," it doesn't matter because GOP Justices blew up the entire process of deciding cases based on chats with rich friends and stuff they watched on TV. That was the entire basis on which SCOTUS switched to the shadow docket.

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

‘Amanda Stanhope – who too, was raped by her ex-partner – said Gisele’s strength inspired her to speak out.’

He is much more conservative than I am. But let’s get the foundation right and then we can arm wrestle over the other (less important?) items.

Oh sorry, so religion and politics should be separate? Is that what you're saying? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Can confirm

Oh….all of this.

I made a list. 23 attorneys so far faced disbarment, sanctions, investigations, etc. Credit when appropriate.

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

This week is Black Maternal Health Week — and Black women are still being ignored, dismissed, and disrespected, especially during pregnancy and childbirth.

Over 80% of these deaths didn’t have to happen. This is your reminder to listen to Black women.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.

THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war.

Art of the deal, baby.

Hungary Just Ousted the Unoustable Viktor Orbán had support from Moscow and Washington, but not from his own people.

'“I knew it was possible,” Balázs Nagy, a warehouse worker, told me this evening in Budapest, on the banks of the Danube. “Hungarians are stubborn, and we don’t give up on each other.”
