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

Monterey Park, California has banned any data centers within its city limits Monterey Park's city council has moved to ban construction of any data centers within its borders.

Fucking what…?

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

question:

a family I know paid rent for their immigrant neighbor as he was out of work for during the ICE surge.

There Is Nothing “Qualified” About Qualified Immunity Once again, the Supreme Court twists itself into knots to extend legal protections to cops who kill.

something that broke me about this case is how much Roy Anthony Scott was trying to do The Right Thing--the reason why he called the cops in the first place was because he was scared and wanted help

the cops said they were there to help, too

then they killed him

How 2 fringe groups and a friendly judge helped pull off Sheriff Chad Bianco’s ballot seizure Emails obtained by CalMatters trace the development of a years-long case that ultimately led to the unprecedented seizure of 650,000 ballots.

Fuck cancer.

Reform to tell Welsh museums how to present history, manifesto says Election pledges say Reform would ask museums to present history chronologically.

"Reform's manifesto for the Senedd election says the party will tell museums how to display history if it wins, saying they will present events in chronological order and "in context"."

So, History Reclaimed but in government.

History without rigour, compassion, or reflection.
