If you live in Louisiana, go check your voter registration. Even if you already checked. This morning mine was fine. Just now I was showing someone how to check and it had changed me to inactive. So they are changing people to inactive as recently as this afternoon.

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.

9 people are facing decades in prison after a July 4 protest outside Prairieland Detention Center was prosecuted as “terrorism” in federal court. The evidence didn’t hold, but the narrative did as prosecutors criminalized ideology. This case sets a precedent everyone should be paying attention to.

Lately, I’ve been on a kick of finding obscure 70’s Soul music and this song blew my mind.

Losing her first election - an Illinois Democratic primary for Congress - puts Kat in pretty damn good company:

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them. A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.

Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

Over there sits your childhood stuffed animal slowly losing atoms to chaos. Piece by piece he says goodbye. Piece by piece you join him.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

The Sopranos is probably the Rosetta Stone of modern American reaction: it consists of people who bemoan the loss of an imagined past they mainly got from movies, claim victimization based on identity but hate when others do it, and view the people who build the society they prey on as suckers.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

This is an incredibly important way to explain what is happening with this admin disappearing Mahmoud Khalil. I am glad to hear a senator finally say these words so clearly.

Might save a life.

The United States is a rogue state that’s now launched an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico. It’s time for countries, especially its former allies, to form an alliance to make the US feel the consequences of its actions and to break their dependence on US tech once and for all.

The quiet part out loud. But what Watters isn’t saying—and what is most critical to understand—is that the right’s entire model is top-down. It’s funded by and totally in service of capital. The conservative movement is a corporate counterrevolution, funded by the biggest money in America.
