USPS says its new rule to implement Trump’s anti-mail voting EO will “enhance the efficiency of postal operations.” Marc Elias is calling bullshit. “This has nothing to do with efficiency. [USPS is] just doing the bidding of the White House.” Stay in the know: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

It's not about one US Senate seat. It's about all of us together. It's about a belief that we can take our government back from the very people who want to monetize us at every turn. The fomentors of inequality. The drivers of war and genocide and apartheid. We get to decide.

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

People are spending more time on Google than ever since A.I. Mode was introduced last year, which replaces search results of hyperlinks with responses written by Gemini. The changes threaten the open web and show how rapidly A.I. has upended the technology landscape.

"Congratulations to all!" Thinking of the kids the US killed in the TLAM strike on Minab school on the opening day of this unnecessary, illegal war.

After President Trump’s comments yesterday, I remembered one of my favorite Lincoln Project videos. The midterms are getting closer. Everything goes through the ballot box. If Democrats take back Congress, Trump becomes politically powerless. We just have to vote. #Midterms2026 #Vote #Democrats

Ariana Niko@ariananiko.bsky.social

old Lincoln Project video comes to mind.Beyond all our flaws,President Trump’s only real shot at post-2029 influence is by making people distrust elections &stay home.It’s been somewhat effective.He’ll eventually fade,but for 2026&2028,he’s still a threat.Don’t hand him victory vote&defend democracy

Hakeem Jeffries, likely the next Speaker, has started an aggressive psychological war against President Trump and MAGA and Trump clearly sees it. Jeffries keeps provoking Trump through speeches, videos, and social media as conservative media keeps reacting. So far, the strategy looks very effective.

While militaries often cause mission failure and civ-mik crises, this stuff is entirely a civilian failure. If we have to blame a person other than the President, it is either Gabbard or Rubio or both. Hegseth sucks as well, but anyone looking to him to make strategy has themselves to blame 2/2

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

open.substack.comWhat Was Actually in the Mueller ReportThere is an enormous amount of misinformation circulating about former Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 U.S.

I had the privilege of speaking to some wonderful NYC public schoolteachers today and it reminded me of this correspondence I had seven years ago with an amazing educator who taught me skills as a kid in 1975 that remained invaluable to me as an adult in 2019 ...
