Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”
The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.
But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Elon Musk basically accused Trump of being a pedophile and then got dinner with him again a few months later. Joe Rogan acted shocked and dismayed about ICE and Iran and now he’s standing behind Trump in the Oval Office. These guys only care about holding onto power through any means necessary
“He has obstructed the administration of justice…He has made judges dependent on his will alone…He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures…for cutting off our trade…for imposing taxes on us without our consent…”
Sound familiar?

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.
No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.
The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.
So at the risk of maybe overreading this and making an educated guess, I think I can guess what specifically Wyden is talking about.
I think it's about use of AI (LLMs) by FBI to surveil American communications without a warrant
One of the biggest labor battles in the US is happening right now in Los Angeles, at USC, where our faculty-union campaign with majority support is being met by nasty, corporate-grade administrative resistance, and national press won't cover it.
Maybe there should be a separation between the church and the state. Some sort of metaphorical wall, perchance?
It sure is nice that the US has helped all these other countries to secure alliances and trade deals.
💯 All the small businesses that don’t have the resources to jump through all the hoops, or that no longer exist.
And of course most customers won’t see a dime of the refunds.
But the giant multinational corporations will be fine.
She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since.
But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.
i really wish "children are people and people are not property" was not a radical opinion but unfortunately it's the central question up for debate with much of politics
It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
"If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the f**k alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records." - Kurt Cobain The Advocate, 1995
Mood, every single day.
Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:
a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b

i think "would i trust this person to watch my drink" is actually a very reasonable standard to hold elected officials to
For over 50 years Republicans have been the party that says government can't do anything right, and every time they win power they set out to prove it. Then the Republicans and the media blame Democrats for all the work we have to do fixing everything.
Trump is truly raising the bar!
I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.
I’d bet cash money they live in an all white neighborhood and don’t know any of their neighbors. Miserable people that can’t stand the idea of people getting along.
Personally, I can imagine nothing more boring and oppressive than a monoculture.
Nearly six years reporting on working homeless families taught me one thing: the precarity isn't incidental to the profits. It's how you get them.
Kimberly-Clark could pay a living wage and still clear almost $2 billion a year. They can afford to pay workers enough to live. They just choose not to.
But AI might be good at this job, being a BS machine.
"Trump's not conservative"
Oh no you don't. No no no no no.
I can tolerate Republicans moving on from Bush and the neocons, 9/11 and all that.
But you fucking own Trump from now until the end of time. He told you exactly who he was from day 1 and you voted for him 3 times. That's on YOU.
Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.
“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.
"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”
“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."
