BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.
I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...
The collection covers three kinds of materials: The first is the official records from the lower court(s): the trial transcripts, evidence, and procedural documents that travel with each case up through the federal judiciary. The second is the briefs: the petitions, responses, amicus filings, and supporting appendices submitted by the litigants themselves and by interested third parties. These briefs are the raw material of American constitutional argument. They capture the perspectives of individuals, corporations, civil society organizations, and government agencies pressing their cases before the nation’s highest court. The third category is the opinions (for cases that are heard by the Supreme Court): the ultimate decisions reached by the highest court in the United States, demonstrating the logic and reasoning of the court.

There’s a real disconnect in anglosphere discourse because a lot of it centres in the US where people aren’t seeing Chinese EVs at all, while much of the rest of the world is
A VERY LARGE pinkish tardigrade on green mossy surface, all from cake.
Another shot of the cake, plus info tags.
Gotta show you this tardigrade cake I saw at the American Museum of Natural History.
That was bizarre.
This is part of a broader push the Trump admin began in term one (that Biden didn't roll back in any way). First each visa applicant had to disclose your social media handles. Now under Trump 2, the U.S. government demands that you make your social media accounts public so they can scan 'em.
"Public servants in the department will use [Cohere's] North for 'search, summarization, drafting, decision support, and task automation,' Wall said."

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
It’s worth remembering that Thiel was born in Germany, and at times in his childhood his parents tried *apartheid South Africa* as well the US. He has not demonstrated any allegiance to anything but himself and an authoritarian, repressive world that Adolf Brand would enjoy.
That’s the one! 😲
Oh. Who could have predicted? 🙄
'Worse than the pandemic': Red state restaurants now suffering from Trump's ICE crackdown
BREAKING: Eight children were killed in an "extensive" mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, police say. The suspected shooter is also dead.

Voting, tax, rent, and all kinds of pay by deadlines which engender penalties if late are going to be a whole lot of fun. Jesus Christ! The incompetence of this government is truly stellar.
one of the most insane aspects of all of this is that "a wide ranging government crackddown after a handful of newspaper cranks said insane things based on misunderstood cherrypicked papers" is considered illegitimate in every field of endeavor except this one
the tech fascists think they are so clever and smart but their entire worldview is just a bunch of stale apologetics for race hatred and fascism

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.

You failed in your analysis during the campaign. Now we reap what you have sown.
