If true, a master move.
If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.
Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
It's wild that the Pentagon is trying to bully Anthropic into letting it surveil Americans with their technology. Who wants that?!
Good statement from @eff.org. More should be making noise on this. And tech workers, keep speaking up too: you hold real power.

Can he just skip to the part where he lies about the 2020 election, threatens his political opponents with prosecution, and says he will rig the midterm elections? I want to turn this off and go to sleep.
Someone tell Bari about the Streisand effect
crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"
What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.
Thank god nobody's doing anything with the potential to radicalize actors into an asymmetrical campaign of violence and terror with 21st century tactics that a tottering bureaucracy is ill-equipped to defend against
First thing I thought.
The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/
Day 381 of nonstop protests in Georgia. The Russia backed Georgian Dream introduced a new law to curb unsanctioned protests.
Protestors continue to resist daily with no sign of stopping in the face of repression and tyranny. #3E
Every Ohioan should read this. Outstanding. And true.
Any book by William Darymple.
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.
Correct
Cuomo had better learn how to say “Mayor Mamdani” correctly, because he got smoked last night.🔥
Maybe we outlaw the scientific method now?

Yet again Ohio leads the way. This is exactly how the GOP rigged our maps.
The most important direction for the future of the Democratic Party is breaking up the two party doom loop.
There is not a singular ideological agenda or direction that will make a pro-democracy majority. We need a new, proportional representation system that will allow more parties in Congress.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
RFK is cutting us off from vaccines.
Also true for Kroger and most other chain pharmacies. They only are allowed to dispense what FDA authorizes. Time to mask up! 😷
