The address step has been pretty broken for me for several months on android. I have to accept a bad address and then go back before I can type or select on the map. Have also had no luck with the "how am i driving" request at all with the app.
“That Rümeysa felt she had to return to Turkey to escape the shadow of state violence says everything you need to know about the state of free speech and academic freedom in this country,” said Ramya Krishnan, an attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/17/m...
Rest in Power to a major figure in the AIDS treatment activism in the 1980s, a time when many were indifferent or looking away.
wouldn't mind several orders of magnitude more of this
"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...
Image from DC Vote: I am a DC resident. I pay federal taxes. I have no vote in Congress. *image of a DC Taxation without Representation license plate* If you have representation, will use it for me? tell your members of Congress to support DC statehood. Tax Day | 12 April 2026 | #LetDCVote
I've filed my federal taxes, but as a citizen of DC I face #TaxationWithoutRepresentation. DC isn't a state so the 700,000 people who live here have no voting representation in Congress. Will you stand with me and demand #DCStatehood now? #LetDCVote #TaxDay @dcvote.bsky.social
In some endorsement processes, the best, most urbanist option has been someone who has fallen short on housing, because they’re the only one in the field who’s solid on transportation, or vice-versa.
Not this year:
abigail spanberger is out here canceling tax breaks for confederate groups and getting rid of confederate license plates and i for one think this is absolutely wonderful for the centrist wing of the democratic party

Good riddance to Eric Swalwell. We read the San Francisco Chronicle reporting in disgust at his clearly abusive behavior, and additional reporting from CNN paints a picture of a damning pattern.
We’re deeply concerned by the similar allegations against Tony Gonzales.
Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.
Orban consolidated power by making the electoral system less proportional and gerrymandering districts of very unequal sizes.
That gave Orban supermajorities when the opposition was divided and less popular—but it turned an opposition landslide into a supermajority that can now dismantle the regime
It's constant. Can't walk the dog without seeing armed guard and other feds. We need statehood for the people of DC.
The Artemis II mission was incredible. We can do big things and do good things for the country and the world, when we work together and stand up for each other.
The USPS can't "run out of money," the sole question is the people in charge of the federal government believe delivering mail is worth funding the same way they already fund armed kidnapping gangs, concentration camps, and blowing up girls' schools.
their inheritors may hold unacceptable power and influence, but let confederate surrender day be a reminder of the victory that was, and will someday be complete

Judge Chris Taylor just won a seat on the WI Supreme Court. She's a former movement lawyer who spent a good part of her career fighting for abortion rights. Dems now hold a 5-2 majority on that court. Democracy prevailed tonight! This is a good sign for November.
Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.
Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.
Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
Much better Senator. Thank you. I would add that NOT FUNDING HIM is essential here.
days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021
I took action with Janeese for DC Mayor. Will you join me? Use this link to sign up: www.mobilize.us/janeesefordc...
Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

After enacting the deepest SNAP cuts in history last year, President Trump’s 2027 budget would continue to make groceries less affordable for low-income families. It would slash the WIC fruit & vegetable benefit by $1.4 billion & eliminate a food program for low-income seniors.
The @ward1democrats.org sent candidate questionnaires not just to the (five!) candidates running for Ward 1's Council seat & our Democratic State Committee seats, but also to candidates for seven (!!) city-wide seats, including Delegate, Mayor, and both At-Large Council seats. Responses are now up!
It's nice to see a Senator talking about the need to Do A Nuremberg on the current folks in charge.
