Since SCOTUS destroyed the Voting Rights Act, Southern states can now redraw a dozen majority-Black districts in time for the 2028 elections, triggering the largest drop in Black congressional representation since the end of Reconstruction. And that’s just the beginning.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

I hate that so many Democratic fundraising emails I get are pretending to ask for information or your thoughts but of course you can’t submit those without making a donation, something that is never mentioned in the email. It clear all they want is the money and question is fake.

Before I lose my phone for the weekend: Modern TAG programs are *intended* to be special needs programs for a group of kids who struggle with regular programs, not status or treats for bright kids with good grades. Profoundly gifted children are at high risk of a lot of bad things.

Key lies in Trump's stmt: 1) diesel is up due to Iran's blockage of the Straight of Hormuz, which resulted from his vanity war with Iran (#EpsteinFury); 2) Russia is providing intel on US bases in the Middle East to Iran so it can kill US soldiers there. Trump doesn't care about these deaths ...

Trump: "My decision on Russia is simple... Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help Iran, compared to what they could be doing ... Zelenskyy is using refineries as a target, knowing attacks are seriously hurting ... He could have made better deal 2 years ago. His country is in shambles ..."

Together with other scientists I’m suing the 🇺🇸 US National Institutes of Health for violating our 1st Amendment rights & censoring our health science. I’m ready to shine a light on the darkest days. Buckle up, read on. This gets pretty wild… THREAD

ACLU@aclu.org

By terminating research grants like Kelton's to censor views it doesn’t like, the NIH is blocking scientists from work that would advance public health for all of us. We're pushing back. Tell Congress to demand the NIH restore the grants and stop its censorship campaign at aclu.org/nih_censorship_

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Harris County TX. He's hospitalized: "ICE claimed the man ran in front of the agents' vehicle and was struck. However, the surveillance video appears to show the SUV veering left through empty parking spaces before running the man over..." abc7.com/story/ice-ru...

Talarico will probably win. Black voters are not excited to vote *for* Talarico as much as *against* Paxton and Trump. Talarico is hiring GOP policy makers into his campaign. Black voters already know what that will mean for us. Red undertow.

The Republican Party is chock full of Nazis. The government has Nazis in senior administration positions. The Republican Party’s largest donor is a neo-Nazi. David Brooks might not want to admit it, but that’s why it’s long past time for him to shut up.

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

Y'all! Aidan needs your help! He's been sharing his PVM photos for a long time, but now the monitor needs some serious repair work, and he's raising funds to cover the cost. If you've enjoyed his CRT photos, or just like FF and want to help out, consider throwing a couple bucks in the hat! Thanks!

Aidan Moher@aidanmoher.com

For several years, my CRT photos have been shared widely and received a lot of love on Bluesky. I love all my CRTs, but my PVM has always been the most popular. However, the PVM is dying. While it's in good hands now, repairs are pricey, so, I'm asking for help. If you can, consider pitching in!

This is gravitational lensing. Where the a bunch of galaxies are so, so massive they distort the fabric of spacetime itself, and bend the light from background galaxies billions of lightyears more distant.

Is there anywhere that gives any sort of details on what the Australia Medicare hacking incident actually entailed? Reading what I have tracked down so far leaves me wondering if this "hack" was just guessing URLs based on other URLs but I am curious.

It feels like both Open AI and Australia may have motive to make this a much bigger deal than it really is in terms of being a "breach". Open AI wants to sell the story of their models being master security researchers and the Australian government trying to score political points.

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.
