If you are upset with trans people for our reactions to candidate statements, then I would encourage you to call one of the candidates to complain about the statements. You can still vote for them, but let them know about your displeasure. The base pushing back makes not abstaining easier to swallow

I don't doubt the reporting. But the white house is having discussions about potentially pardoning lower level staffers is just as much if not more dooming than anything else posted on here. There is nothing to be done before this happens and the facts matter. Keep moving forward with stuff y'all

I genuinely think we would service justice better if we targeted a system with closer to a 50% conviction rate (at the high end). The dynamic where most prosecutors get experience only winning makes them overconfident and overcharge and bad at high stakes shit. These are both bad dynamics

The obvious difference is that Zuck enjoys Section 230 protections from liability predicated on the assumption that his platform does not engage in editorial decisions and MSNow does not

It's a good sign when you're issuing statements about your long term solvency on a Wednesday

Can't wait to read the risk disclosures

Very funny not to include the New York Times

She could fix me

Holy shit

john brown was famously a guy interested in persuasion

The Cruz curse is alive and well in this Texas game I see

Talarico also deserves to be held to a higher standard. HE IS IN SEMINARY! If he gets credit for the moral certainty that being a man of G_d gives him then he doesn't get to triangulate. Those are incompatible positions. He has shown he is unwilling to follow his moral convictions.

I knew about Cleveland but Polk?!

An—as usual—excellent account of what SCOTUS did and did not do today. This case shouldn't make us despair over the election. But, imo, it is still egregious that (presumably) 6 justices signed off on this, and it's narrowness should not exculpate those 6 from condemnation

All support to Talarico, but what exactly is going on in the background here. What room is this supposed to be?

This needs more text. Like a lot more text

Not to be too doomery but in any other case Cook v. Trump is step one of the Roberts two step. The way Roberts et al. have been ruling suggests an arrogance that would make them willing to two step the Fed.

Late-stage Capitalism should have subtler metaphors for the enclosure of the commons if it's going to get another season

Qatari Amiri Diwan: President Trump confirmed the continuation of efforts to complete the final procedures in preparation for announcing the arrangements regarding the signing of the agreement

The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

A spritz is a classy borg

I'm amazed that he seems to have internet argument incepted himself into supporting the caricature/straw-man left NIMBYs have of YIMBYs. All with 0 self-awareness

The Friday Jawbone!

WITKOFF AND KUSHNER ARE TRAVELING TO PAKISTAN FOR DISCUSSIONS ON IRAN, REPORTED BY CNN.

"That is not their complexion." Lol

Holy shit that's Venus?!

Don't print that I got mad, etc. etc.

Trump: Iran is begging to make a deal, not me

@reckless.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz can you explain what it means that 6G will be AI-Native?

@someforeignfield.bsky.social what's the chance that Trump announces war with Iran DURING the state of the union on Tuesday?

A bandaid Dems should push for, the district court where someone is detained keeps jurisdiction over habeas petitions even if they are removed from the district by DHS

Apollo 13 is masculine caring in a socially acceptable way

What's the chance Disclosure Day is one of the bleakest films (complimentary) Spielberg has ever made?
