Just because we beat them doesn’t mean we should continue to let billionaires spend whatever they want on elections.

Thought that @rotopat.bsky.social and I would be throwing down when he dissed my Jayhawks on the @harrisfootball.com pod today, but he recovered nicely. 😂
"parallel earth" cartoon where democrats do all the shit they should have done in 2021
just thinking about this cartoon from 2021 for no reason
having successfully persuaded people that the nation’s economy is the worst it has ever been, they are going to encouraging their buddies to loot the nation and say it is the only way we can get investment
We can’t have this one thing?
After securing a majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court in 2022, Republican justices promptly overturned a ruling that had struck down GOP gerrymanders, paving the way for their party’s lawmakers to draw a new map designed to hand them several congressional districts. By then, Democrats already had no recourse outside of state courts: This U.S. Supreme Court has shut the door on complaints of partisan gerrymandering proceeding in federal courts. The maneuver paid off last week. The GOP flipped three U.S. House seats, a windfall in light of that chamber’s tiny overall margin.
The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.
And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.

seeing people (americans) be kind of blown away by the fact that the martial law solders in korea were armed and yet, as far as we know, not a single person was shot and it's really making me realize how conditioned we are to accept fatal violence against our own citizens as a foregone conclusion.

On an unseasonably warm Halloween 🎃 Eve, 6yo asked if we could go “exploring” on campus.
We played foosball in the campus center.
We read “In The Night Kitchen” in the library, then watched the animated film in the lecture hall.
We banged on half a dozen pianos.

For everyone who just canceled their WaPo subscriptions because it's run by a fascist who plans on being head of Trump's State Run Media, here's a paper that isn't afraid of that big giant piece of shit
they should publish it anyway.
Uber: we can't make money if we have to follow the law
Google: we can't make money if we're not allowed to be a monopoly
Nestle: we can't make money without using slave labor
OpenAI: we can't make money if we can't steal
media: should shoplifters be executed?
This. It knocked me down for 24 hours or so, but it was worth it.
Harlan Crow and a few billionaires have provided Clarence Thomas with:
-38 destination vacations
-26 private jet flights
-6 helicopter flights
-Yacht voyages
And we're going to let Thomas rule on Moore v. US, which could permanently shield billionaires from a wealth tax?

Want to work fewer days from the office? You could be doing the planet a favor.
Fully remote workers could produce less than half the climate-warming emissions of people who spend their days in offices, according to a new study.
