BREAKING: A federal appeals court has upheld a Texas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.
Students' right to be free from religious indoctrination is protected by the Constitution. We won't stop fighting.
as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:
you brought this on yourselves
you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster
you earned this
According the AG Blanche, “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence.” This is some whacked out far-right fantasy. Hard to imagine this theory will hold up in court, but the lives of paid informants who infiltrated hate groups will be at risk.

Oh.
A federal judge in Texas just dismissed a lawsuit FBI Director Kash Patel filed against former FBI official and MSNBC analyst Frank Figliuzzi.
The $250 million suit alleged Figliuzzi "fabricated" claims that Patel was frequently in nightclubs rather than being at work...
A first-hand account of Trump, Hegseth and the US military murdering people.
They all need to be arrested, from top to bottom.
ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve
WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question
WARSH: I believe this body certified the election
WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

The Watergate backlash inspired Unitary Executive theory is a massive distortion of constitutional power, as @davidsirota.com and @gregsargent.bsky.social discuss. A Dem post-midterm majority must reclaim congressional power and authority to reign in the out of control narcissist in the White House.
Manchester school gets a lobotomy.

I certainly agree w him that Musk/Trump vilification of public service is contemptible.
23. Rich elitist vilification of those with knowledge, experience, intelligence as "elitist" is also contemptible.

🧵 New post: "How MAHA Fucked Up My Surgery"
I was catheterized by 2 new graduate nurses (one of whom had never done the procedure on a patient before), using incorrect technique, without adequate pain control, after a delay that doubled my volume past the hospital's own intervention threshold
Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.
Australian fuel companies, and Murdoch rags, say stopping the gas export rip off of Australians endangers national security.
What they mean is it would endanger their profits. #auspol

Here's their target: "Meanwhile, in-kind transfers like government-subsidised education, disability and healthcare are increasing."

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
It's a parallel to how the US media treat Trump and his daily dead cats and cherry bombs, helping Trump to rise to dominate the media cycle in perpetuity.
US media are no longer serious about anything.
If true, this is illegal in both Hungary and the US.
Trump is starting to echo the language he hears daily from his sycophants who are telling him how great everything is going
Obama had a settled nuclear arrangement that could have been built upon, instead of torn up. So, 47 years of hostility is a lie.
Trump prison camp federal court ruling excoriates Trump Admin for "clear failure" to follow the law "in purchasing a large warehouse in Williamsport MD built to hold cargo and seeking to quickly convert it into a detention facility to house human beings..."

They would either endanger those thousands of detainees or be forced to add a lot more plumbing first.
No doubt, they would choose the former.
ICE is working hard to kill this detainee.
Because they can.
"This all could have been avoided if Trump had just stayed in the JCPOA...but it was Obama’s brainchild, which meant it had to be torn up, simply because Trump is such an insanely insecure and vindictive man."
Important refresher on Iran deal from @mjtoma.bsky.social
newrepublic.com/article/2092...
Netanyahu also wanted JCPOA torn up. Because he wanted an excuse to destroy Iran, not peace.
Trump and Netanyahu are twin evils.
This is a good moment in @donmoyn.bsky.social's dive into the tech broligarchs: They keep talking about the "west" in order to feel like world-historical sages but they're just echoing warmed over white nationalist inanitites at this point:

Rightwing dopes think classic western education is about teaching the Bible.
It's actually teaching the trivium (grammar, rhetoric, and logic) and the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy).
Invented before the Bible existed.
