Important story. The political consultant class has a lot to answer for in the general process of fucking up America.

If you’re a Democrat with an email address or a phone, you get these pleas: A candidate needs your dollars. Democracy needs your dollars. It doesn’t have to be much—but it can’t be nothing. But where does your donation actually go? trib.al/skt74iy

The moral rot is top-to-bottom in the GOP. But let’s focus on the more specific issue here: Trump and his party like rape. Whether it’s child abuse or campus sexual assault, they think rape is ok. Maybe they even think it’s funny.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

The U.S. strike on the Iranian elementary school was the deadliest American military targeting error of the 21st century in terms of child casualties.   Horrific.   This war needs to end – now.

It kinda got lost in the madness, but the federal conspiracy case against anti-ICE activists in Minnesota - the Minneapolis 15 - is a big deal It's not just the 1st Amendment abuse. It's part of their plan to crush dissent ahead of a stolen election My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

I woke up needing to say just this: I don't think people understand how expansive the plan for this indictment is.

This fucking rules. Austin has a long history with its love of Outlaw Country. Willie and Waylon fucked off from Nashville to come here, smoke weed, drink beer, and vote in, what was at the time, a blue state. This dude would fit right in. A real banger.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

It is insane that person who is funding the world’s white supremacist movement & is daily spewing racism, who killed 100,000’s last year by yanking USAID without warning, is regularly discussed in Corporate Media as an industrialist, without any mention of the white supremacism or mass murder.

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.

And to be clear, in case it’s not, democracy cannot and will not exist without these protections. We already see a South so heavily gerrymandered that numerical majorities cannot win elections and where a minority holds supermajorities in state legislatures.

It's such a breath of fresh air to see @aoc.bsky.social stand against gutting our tax base.

The Washington Sun@washingtonsun.com

The differences between Rep. AOC’s and Sen. Bernie Sanders’ approach to tax cut plans are indicative of the divides Democrats must bridge as they form their agenda going into 2028. https://www.notus.org/economy/democrats-tax-cut-plans-splintering-progressives

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …

Now is the time to cut off funds to any venue that uses surveillance to harass and hurt their fans. People are the true asset of Dolan’s empire, without the people on the stage and in the audience all he’s got is a bunch of empty seats at The Beacon, the Chicago Theater, The Sphere, and MSG.

WIRED@wired.com

New Yorkers have known for a long time that going to a game or concert at the Garden meant surrendering some privacy. That, as you watched the show, the Garden in a real sense watched you. www.wired.com/story/madiso...

This is disturbing. No one should have to forfeit their sensitive biometric info to enjoy a game or a show in New York City. That MSG is using their invasive surveillance tech to track and discriminate against a Knicks fan who is trans is absolutely appalling.

Bobby Silverman@robertsilverman.bsky.social

Using facial recognition tech, the Knicks surveilled a trans woman, tracking her every move out of fear she'd show up on MSG's tv broadcast And they can do it to any "enemy" of Jim Dolan, who's built his own deep state. From @noahshachtman.bsky.social & me @wired.com www.wired.com/story/madiso...

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Magyar’s speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: “He’s basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired.”

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.
