I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😍
despite all the efforts of certain press outlets who have been doing their best for him
A bunch of headlines about how JD Vance is "skeptical" of or "opposes" the Iran War
Today's newsletter is about why mainstream media has been trying to help JD Vance frame himself as "skeptical" of or "opposed to" the war in Iran. Hint: 2028

URGENT! The Massachusetts House just passed a "social media ban" that would force YOU to upload a government ID or submit to a face scan to post online. CALL YOUR STATE SENATORS! 978-485-4694
Okay bluesky I need your help
I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros
Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home"
Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do
I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?
just a wild country
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

conservative free speech is when they speak and you listen or suffer the consequences
Signed my unremarkable name to this but dang that’s a lot of talent saying go fuck yourself. Personally spent a year and half writing a movie for Paramount for a great studio head fired cruelly by Skydance overlords, as reported publicly. And Ellison’s rhetoric does not match his actions, already…
Trump is directly copying Orban's approach to mass media: autocrat-friendly oligarchs buy up all the corporate media outlets, then pummel the public with 24/7 propaganda while the government harasses and murders real independent journalism just out of frame
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
DC adds an average of 5,300 new housing units per year.
Kenyan McDuffie's big plan is 12,000 new units by 2030. That's slower than the status quo!
If that doesn't tell you what you need to know about McDuffie, IDK what will.

NEW: Fifteen laws in 11 states that could immunize the fossil fuel industry from climate-related legal claims have either been passed or are being debated.

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

SAVING MILLIONS ON IT SERVICES AND SOFTWARE CONTRACTORS BY BRINGING IT IN HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Netanyahu sucks, AIPAC sucks, but "we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby" is just code for "blame Jews." Trump wasn't forced to do this. Trump's supporters—like Kent—weren't forced to elect him and embolden him. They're not absolved of any responsibility.
"The economy will be fine, only people will get hurt, he-he"
Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight"
Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃
Delta swore to its employees and unions that it was not transporting deportees this way.
The thing that's unusual--even in tech--about Palantir is that it was born evil. Like it was founded by evil people to do evil things, very explicitly. Gave it a special "we do evil things" name, put together a founding team that was on board with the "do evil" program. They didn't back into it.
In a new @latimes.com Op-Ed, I discuss how Kansas’s recent law invalidating 1,700 transgender individuals’ driver’s licenses raises significant questions about proportionality and administrative purpose. It criminalizes trans folks for no benefit to anyone. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
