The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Aaron Parnas reports: "Civicus downgraded the United States’ civic space rating from “narrowed” to “obstructed,” citing a sharp erosion of fundamental freedoms under a year of Trump-era actions." Donald flunks again.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US. Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

In 2022, Gov. Jay Inslee, one of the nation’s biggest champions of green energy, vetoed a plan — tucked into legislation that expanded the tax break — to understand how much power data centers consume. Washington eventually became home to at least 87 data centers.

The cases against James Comey and Lititia James have been dismissed. What a huge embarrassment and humiliation for not only Trump but the entire DOJ. Every case brought by this DOJ will be suspect (and should be). The current AG should face consequences. We'll see. #DisbarBondi #ProsecuteBondi

"It’s too easy to say, Nothing matters, LOL, Supreme Court. But it matters a lot to have a judge say that the DHS officers themselves incited violence. They created violence and then they answered it with their own violence. And I think that is the moral of the story." @dahlialithwick.bsky.social

Long ago, Jane Jacobs noted that euphemisms like "stagflation" were coined to avoid saying "Americans are getting poorer and poorer." I understand that "affordability" is a helpful buzz-word, but let's not forget what it means. 99% of Americans are getting poorer day by day.

We don’t deserve dogs! They chose to align with humanity, and although some of us have chosen to treat them as equals, there are many dogs left abandoned and abused. Now I have to add more emojis to my profile 🙄🦮🐾🐶
