As the conservatives freak out over VA, a reminder:
BEFORE the 2022 midterms, federal courts found that multiple once-covered-by-the-VRA states likely illegally diluted Black votes. But because of Purcell, these illegal maps were used that fall.
So miss me with the pearl clutching.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
seriously hope when dems get back in power they go after every single fuck involved with DOGE
A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.
I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.
Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
Does the favorite dinosaur question account for specific dinosaurs? Cuz my first thought for my answer was Sue en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_(di...
Dude looks like he just got his learner's permit wtf m8
Viktor didn't do much there, think he made coffee sometimes, nobody really knew him too well.
If it looks like a concentration camp and sounds like a concentration camp,
You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar
Making cynicism our adolescent aesthetic turns into patronizing assholery in middle age if you don't grow out of that shit. Unfortunately too many in my cohort failed to grow out of it.
Ya, it's like all those people telling me I was going to hell during the Satanic Panic cuz I liked DnD and metal are shocked I loathe them all so much in their MAGA era
Good article but the characters in that film are Boomers. Gen X developed cynicism as a defense mechanism because our hippie parents became yuppies and were living large while movies like The Day After were getting shown on TV. Problem is cynicism is a good path to MAGA if you don't outgrow it.
Trying to deflect criticism for his blatant violations of the 1st and 2nd Commandments, Donald Trump violates the 9th
Aside from maybe the fourth commandment I think he's broken all of them now.
Somebody should gift JD a sofa for the bang up job he's done this week.
Space stuff is cool.
We should do somewhat less war stuff and somewhat more space stuff.
Artemis II is $4bn per launch, roughly the cost of 2-4 days of War in Iran.
What if we did not do War in Iran, but instead did cool space stuff?
Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell:
Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad.
The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.
Bear in mind in this scenario the current interpreter is a group of oldies whose brains have been cooked by Fox News and would say that since electronic devices didn't exist when the constitution was written that Print goes against the originalist interpretation and is thus invalid.
Grift all the way down
Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia
If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.
They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
He's confessing to planning war crimes on live television
So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it:
International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.
Probably was a bad idea to elect both the dumbest and most emotionally fragile president in American history.
Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP
Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.
The Secretary of Defense is a coward
“Mr. Hegseth refused to meet with General George about the matter”

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...
By best behavior he means not protesting against the specific form of extractive capitalism that gives him unprecedented power over our societies. I’m not okay with that.
