They think you're stupid.

It requires your boring parents, your boring neighbor, to be capable of incredible violence.

For each guy who'd gladly stomp on a toddler's head, it needs a thousand who simply have no moral qualms about hiring that guy to stomp on toddlers' heads.

A key part of the banality of evil is that fascism trains people who are boringly and completely neurotypical to be incredibly violent, as part of their boring job.

It literally could not possibly work if it could only be done by the tiny fraction of the population with cluster B syndromes.

Imagine making AI bird slop when bald eagles capture red tailed hawk chicks to eat and then their little brains decide to raise them already exist 🪶

yeah the catch-22 with electoral reform is always that any party campaigning on it realizes after they eventually win that the existing system worked just fine to give them that win, and immediately inertia then sets in on their ever actually following through with it

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

would just like to remind everyone that grand jury indictments are so easy to get that there’s a decades-old line about how “a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich.”

pointing to an indictment as proof that the accusations of inside it are sound is very misleading.

As long as Wilt Chamberlain’s Wario is talking retrocession, it’s worth noting that West Virginia statehood was unconstitutional from the start.

Who Deserves Grace? Part 1: Reclaiming the Lives of Dogs and Men - Knock LA How the first dog rehabilitation program in a California maximum-security prison sparked second chances for rescued dogs and men once written off by society

New on Knock: Who Deserves Grace? The first dog rehabilitation program in a CA maximum-security prison transforms the lives of men who society had written off. Part 1 of a 3 part series!

Connecting some dots here: the Associated Press offered buyouts to ~120 US journalists this month, and among the reasons is that McClatchy dropped AP in 2024. This is a piece of what McClatchy is doing instead.

The YES has won in Virginia; voters approved the constitutional amendment to adopt Dems' congressional gerrymander.

This is likely to deliver a 10-1 (Dem) congressional delegation in November, compared to 6-5 (Dem) now.

The remaining obstacle: State supreme court will be weighing in still.

I actually don't care about the false equivalence on gerrymandering. It's fine that we are willing to do this to fight right wing extremism. Good actually.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

I have opposed gerrymandering every single time it has come up. It’s a perversion of the political process. I voted Yes in this election without hesitation. Unilateral disarmament is unacceptable.

LEAD CHANGE: Fairfax County reports more votes, and puts the "yes" ahead.

The 'yes' now leads 50.3% with 49.7%, a lead of 15K.

More importantly: Half of Fairfax County, where the 'yes' is leading by 80K votes at the moment, remains to be counted.

My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus

Company behind controversial new data center in east Charlotte pushes back public hearing The company operates a wireless communications tower and small data storage facility on 58 acres near the Reedy Creek Nature Preserve. It plans to expand those operations on-site by building a data ce...

…To the extent that this previously set public hearing on a data center was delayed when the company realized they didn't have the public support— and in fact had way more public PUSHBACK— than they thought.

We finally have what you've all been waiting for: the final result of Loudoun County.

(Anyone who followed the 2024 count remembers Loudoun.)

The YES won by 21%, with 144K ballots counted.

A very strong result (as we're seeing throughout NoVa): Spanberger won here by 29%, and Jones by only 19%.

"Few approve of how Donald Trump is handling the cost of living" – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 "The nationwide poll was conducted April 16-20, 2026 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,596 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.4 percentage points."

There's no other way to say it: This AP-NORC poll is atrocious for Trump.

– Overall: 33-67
– Immigration: 40-59
– Iran: 32-67
– Economy: 30-70
– Cost of living: 23(!)-76

37% of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the economy, 47% disapprove on cost of living.

30% disapproval from Republicans is also pretty sad.

That's excellent, I don't check my e-mail.

I also got my daughter into birdwatching lol.

Yes

lol I just learned about prediction markets, and we need to put tech bros in permanent timeout.

the extremists the govt alleges have been paid snitches for the SPLC for years are not named in the indictment but there is enough info to identify them if you have some knowledge of the organizations involved... a couple of racists are about to get a lot of angry phone calls from their friends

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Once again asking people not to post about poll results without links to the surveys, and not to repost anything that cites poll results without links to the surveys.

This is not (primarily) about credit, it's a data credibility check.
