Gonna do a fed post
Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

We‘ve seen plenty of judges get angry when the Trump regime defies their orders. What we need to see are judges throwing members of the regime in jail.

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

But the unwritten rules of US politics say that you must refer to such matters in the dry vernacular of federal lawmaking and policy, which contains no language for lawless corruption of this magnitude. So the reality of it is disguised from us; everything gets a rhetorical veneer of legitimacy.

What’s astounding to me is how “the president builds himself a palace with money given directly to him in secret by the richest people in America,” literally the most straightforward and worst executive-branch corruption story in US history, just gets shrugged at because Trump is unapologetic
Q: You said you're gonna put some of your own money into the ballroom. Are you? TRUMP: I may do that. When they run out, I'll be there, okay?

I consider myself a fairly compassionate & empathetic person, but the more I read about people in this particular demographic -- wealthy Gen X white men radicalized by social media & group chats -- the more I loathe them. I understand them *too well* to sympathize. They are contemptible & weak.
terrific profile of Marc Andreesen. Turns out most of the stuff he's big mad about never happened. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

A tit for tat cycle with every trifecta certainly isn’t ideal and we do no need to think about ways out of that. But at least that’s a Court where one party’s control isn’t perpetually self-entrenched until enough randomly timed convenient deaths short circuit the partisan timed retirement game.

No recommendation on G and endorsing Connie Chan. Jesus Christ.
For the first time in our chapter’s history, DSA SF has a public voter guide! Our socialist analysis of the ballot puts working people before billionaires. The fight for a better SF doesn't end at the ballot box. 🌹 dsasf.org/vote 🎨 @artiskraa on ig

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...
