Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California. I urge anyone in the state to vote yes. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

However much you think your data is being collected by police, you're probably underestimating it. The actual scale is mind-bending. And it's tempting to think "oh well I don't do crimes so whatever" but what about if and when your beliefs, associations, or speech becomes a crime?
I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

So far in our series on Hurricane Katrina, we’ve explored how the storm wasn’t just a natural disaster — it revealed decades of inequality, government neglect, and opportunistic profiteering. populareducationblog.substack.com/p/hurricane-...
HBO’s short satirical series,The Regime, is an overlooked gem. Its funny, complicated but unlikable characters, and uncomfortable pitch-black humor re: a fictional charismatic dictator is particularly relevant in the current environment. #TheRegime #HBO #satire #fascism

Excellent point. We’re acting like there are still journalists in the room. They were kicked out a while ago, only leaving trump toadies behind.
Well, yes, they can because Trump has banished all the media who dare to question him. They're not allowed in his pressers, not allowed on AF One, nowhere. So he gets the coverage he wants and we all suffer the consequences.

To reiterate: there is no legitimate justification for this. Violent crime is at a 30-year low in D.C.
"So we're getting this information from multiple sources [...] within the mayor's office and within Metro Police Department, that President Trump, come tomorrow, will deploy the National Guard along the streets of DC." www.wusa9.com/video/news/n...

This is obscene: Trump administration to destroy nearly $10m of contraceptives for women overseas -- at an additional cost of $167,000 to do so. Vindictive, self-righteous zealots! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

youtu.be/XsuSmvlO31U As seen on John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight, this series is an absurdly-fun ray of light in a world that’s been pretty grim. I recommend the “Minty Maniacs” but only if you like a good underdog. #lastweektonight #johnoliver #jellesmarbleleague #marbleolympics2025
JFC. What level of hell is this? At least with GITMO they had a cover story. Not sure how torturing pregnant women and day laborers “makes America great again.” I guess they’ve given up on plausible deniability when they ceded their humanity.
NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

The fact that Jr continues to get his disproven “science” from decades ago would be farcical if it wasn’t so destructive.

#ProudBlue Thom Tillis knew that if he voted against the “Big Ugly Bill”, the #convictedfelon would “punish” him. Instead, Tillis stated that he will not run again for his senate seat. By not running for the Senate again, he beat #convictedfelon at his own game. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 apple.news/ACRx6n205S06...

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪
