they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it
"oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go
I know it's not easy and wouldn't be on the same scale, but I would think there's at least some demand sufficient to support a newspaper in the nation's capital that has actual reporters.
Adam Smith was no right-winger
Utter lawlessness
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
Screenshot reading: "Following this statement, Cato Institute senior fellow Walter Olson shared the following statement: “Even coming from an ordinary politician, this federal takeover would be a terrible idea. The Constitution entrusts the administration of federal elections to the states and localities, subject to Congress’s passage of laws regulating the manner of election. Congress has rightly respected the states’ and localities’ lead role, and it should go on doing so. “We also start out with a big red flag if such laws do not apply regularly across states, but single out some states for an overlay of federal control. The U.S. Supreme Court in the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision said that such two-tier schemes breach a “fundamental principle of equal sovereignty” among the states and can be justified, if at all, only by rigorously documented current (not just historical) evidence of serious voting denial by the states or localities in question. Here, such evidence is grossly absent. “All of this would be bad enough even if floated by an ordinary lawmaker as a bill in Congress. But this trial balloon for a federal takeover is not coming from any ordinary official. It is coming from a man who already once tried to overturn a free and fair election because it went against him, employing a firehose of lies and meritless legal theories, and who repeatedly pressed his underlings, many of whom in those days were willing to say “no”, about schemes such as sending in federal troops to seize voting machines. “Any federal takeover bill is exceedingly unlikely to pass Congress this term. But as courts have now repeatedly found, Trump has been willing to use the purported power of executive orders to command election changes that Congress has never mandated and that the Constitution gives him no power to command. We should properly be vigilant against any repeated such attempt before, during or after the approaching midterms.” To speak with Olson further on Pres…
Cato has now put out a statement in my name responding to
Donald Trump's latest "The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over.’ We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” Online at:

Running for office on dismantling ICE would be a good example of touch-the-stove politics.
Public opposition probably wasn’t enough when it was mostly warnings. I wish it had been. But now that ICE’s brutality and repression is widespread, undeniable, and in so many social media feeds, it might be.
I am pretty definitionally moderate: regulated capitalism, free (import/export) markets, robust welfare system (not fully sold on Medicare for all), plus gun owner, Catholic, LGBT. I could continue
It is also my only goal in life at this point to see the complete destruction of the Republican Party

My son came home with a Pre-K report card; I read it and was thrilled. My husband read it and was baffled. I read it and anchored on the lines that really matter: “He excels quickly in all his math assignments and has mastered the math and reading concepts presented.” My husband focused on the extra full page on “social emotional growth” commentary and looked confused the whole time. “What does any of this mean?” “Nothing,” I said. “Ignore it.” And then that evening we explained to our son the lesson that is going to get him through his life: “People will put up with many things if you are excellent at math. You’re so good at math. We’re proud of you.” And that was that. There are many important posts going viral today about the tragedy of young men. Combatting the systems that seek to destroy their nature begins in the home, and it begins young. I don’t care about the “social emotional growth” of my sons because I know what values we’re instilling in them. Telling them what really matters begins with dad and mom. The family can be a reprieve from all the nonsense. It requires constant vigilance, but it’s the first step in preparing them for the madness outside.
Katherine Boyle is a Silicon Valley caricature at this point.
I have a boy who's very good at math, not so good at illusory authority, and I parent him on how to work within the confines of that system but damn lol. "It's ok to be a dick if you're good at math" is not where I've taken it.
We are entering a deep recession brought on by Donald Trump's lawless policies as we go into Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Small Black child holding poster: 6 corporations own 90% of US media (this meme is over 10years old, it's more, now) CBS, Viacom, Disney, Newscorp, & Time Warner
They should include the insults -- and add, "Official ____ provided no useful information on the issue." They won't listen to me but you might pass on the idea.
Of course, given that oligarchs own over 90% of US media, the whole system is a propaganda machine. Better to read non-US news sources
I'd like to suggest that the lesson is not "this is an admin like no other so we should have different rules."
The lesson is "the unique toxicity of this administration reveals how malignant this 'standard journalistic practice' of charitable deference to the regime has always been."
Do politics!
It’s literally in your job title of “politician.”
We don’t elect “listen to risk averse consultants-ians.”
Do.
Politics.
It’s clear the country as a whole hates all of this. Even GOP suburbs in Cook County are berating ICE.
Doing the right thing is popular!

“But now when congressional Republicans answer “nothing,” that’s precisely what they mean. No harbor, no help, no empathy, no truth. By all appearances, Democrats seem to be waiting in vain for a return to rules they recognize — and a counteroffer that isn’t coming.”

I honestly hoped Dell was on Bluesky so I could try to tag them and ask them why their Precision laptops are such trash. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like they are. Bummer.
I would also really, REALLY want to know why all my other machines worked fine with a KVM switch, but for some reason Dell just refused to work with it and made everything crash. Oh, and then the RAM died & I had no work computer for a month b/c the tech Dell sent broke the motherboard. 🙄
Is there any laptop WORSE than the Dell Precision 7670? I have never had a computer have so much trouble with external monitors OR having functional RAM OR having enough power to run a mouse. And compared to the issues my co-workers deal with, I have it easy.
This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com
Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.
Seriously though, why can't the AFU buy ad space for videos of American hardware stunting on Russians?
We let the Gulf States advertise how tourist friendly their cities in the desert built by slave labor are and this would be way less offensive than that
