"actually, from a constitutional perspective, who won an election is unknowable"

By Ilan Wurman

For example, Schumer and Jeffries are not stupid or crazy when they trash Mamdani, who is broadly popular with Democratic voters. They believe (with reason) that wealthy-Manhattanite Democrats and hyperwealthy Democratic billionaires (with whom Mamdani is unpopular) are more important to them.

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

"The Trump era is what happens when you systemically under-prosecute white collar crime. There is no Donald Trump, Paul Manafort,...Steve Bannon, or Trump Org in an era where white collar crime is prosecuted with anything close to the vigor of the lowest-level drug cases in a major US city."

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

Characterizing something as “fascism” is now grounds for suspension on X??? So much for their supposed love of “free speech”.

Mike Nellis @MikeNellis "I'M NO LONGER CATHOLIC!" Hannity ABANDONS HIS FAITH for Trump NELLIS X.com • +*+

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

1/9 of 1/3 of the government has the expressly stated understanding that his job is to literally make the lives of 5/8 of the country miserable. you don't have to tolerate this

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

It seems like the fact that this political movement -- what, 25, 30% of the country? -- has effectively convinced itself of a grand collective paranoid hallucination ... that this hallucination has reached the highest echelons & is now dictating strategy ... ought to ...

I dunno, matter?

"holy shit! you were censored for believing in God?"

LOL no, not that

"for thinking it's appropriate to observe religious holidays in the workplace?"

haha no not that

"Which religious beliefs, exactly?"

oh, you know the ones

Court To Bondi: Demanding Platforms Censor Speech And Bragging About It On Fox News Is, In Fact, A First Amendment Violation

For the better part of five years, we've been treated to an elaborate performance about the unprecedented constitutional horror of "jawboning." Jim Jordan held hearings.…

They are intentionally destroying the future of science in America. A generation of lost talent. These are grants that go *directly* to support trainees.

It's a war of the oligarchs against the professional administrative class, the only class capable and willing to resist them.

DOJ demands Detroit-area 2024 ballots, escalating election scrutiny DOJ official Harmeet K. Dhillon wrote that she is seeking ballots to investigate election law compliance. Democratic state officials call the request baseless.

Breaking WaPo:

The Trump Justice Department is now demanding all ballots from the 2024 election in the Detroit area — a highly unusual move that comes shortly after prosecutors seized 2020 ballots in Georgia and obtained 2020 election records in Arizona.

Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

The tech industry has a long history of ignoring/ sidelining the moderates within its own ranks and then doing Surprised Pikachu meme when social backlash ensues. Turns out people are broadly not down to make 5 weirdos trillionaires while what's on offer for the rest of us is "eat shit and die"

personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life

man im glad the nyt is vindicating my feelings about WV v EPA being the moment where i just threw up my hands

There was a student sat on the train next to me using Chat-GPT to write a letter responding to an Academic Integrity hearing about using Chat-GPT in their work. I kid you not.

They did no performance evaluation of the people they laid off. So they can’t make any claims about their performance. What we do know is:
1. The people fired had more experience than the people hired
2. The new hires come via a political process where they have to detail their support for Trump

I need to do this...

100% agree. I'm annoyed every time, but I realize it's productive annoyance. And when I read other scholarship, I'll see a claim, think "that's wild, surely that can't be right, where's the source" and there simply...is not one.
