Blue states if you do not suppress these federal SS goons, they will seize your voting machines

I'm not the first person to note this, but authoritarian crackdowns are much more difficult in cities, where's there's public space & people can gather & find solidarity. That's partly why reactionary governments everywhere prefer suburbanization -- it disperses, dilutes, & atomizes the public.

🔥 SLIWA: “You think you’re the toughest guy alive — you lost your own primary. You have difficulty understanding what the term “NO” is… you’re not gonna stand up to Trump.” 👀 ZOHRAN: “I agree with Curtis.” 🙃

Enough with the beating girlfriends stuff, let's talk about something serious.

Roberts is saying that the court's own precedent from a couple of years ago, where it ruled that Alabama had to draw racial fair maps, doesn't apply to this (identical) case, essentially because the Alabama case was poorly argued. It's a terrible argument, but the hill Roberts is gonna die on.

My letter to the mainstream media: We will get through this, eventually. But you will not. We will remember each and every sellout.

A new Nature study on the four horsemen of the climate-tipping-points apocalypse: "the Greenland Ice Sheet, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the South American monsoon system and the Amazon rainforest."

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

What happens when 'free' information dries up because its producers aren't getting paid?

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session, Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge. Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings. Gallego: This is an excuse

I mean it helped - they were murdering and torturing Kenyans for close to a decade and Malaysians for over a decade after that. It also helped that there was an active violent resistance to go along with the nonviolent resistance. So the British chose to work with the peaceful guy

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

On a *completely* unrelated note, I have used Instacart almost exclusively since 2017. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤪

About 125,000 transgender people are assaulted in the restroom every year. No transgender woman has ever been convicted of assaulting a woman in a public restroom.

Public opinion research, like all social science, is built on assumptions. I've thought about writing a piece on how "popularism" is built on very flawed assumptions, making its recommendations misguided, but @anatosaurus.bsky.social does such a good job with that I'll just link to this article.

Chicago's 40th Ward in effect. Line down the block for community defense training with Alderman Vazquez.

Chris Murphy: "In a different era, maybe just asking for a minor adjustment in health care tax credit policy would be enough. But it’s not a normal time. If you don’t mount a stand right now on behalf of democracy, there won’t be another opportunity."

Casey Desantis’s charity that got $10 million redirected from a Medicaid fraud settlement the state entered into directly into its bank account rather than the FL treasury.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

The personal oath to Trump and/or POTUS. It's that or machine guns/pink slips. These people been waitin' all their lives to LARP the moustache man times.

Being a self-important jackass should not be against the law.

This is how we do it (Yah I know the song is stuck in your head now).

Trump’s inability to pronounce “acetaminophen” raises new questions about Joe Biden’s mental state.

I care about Charlie Kirk's shooting as much as Charlie Kirk cared about every other weekly mass shooting in America. I will honor the guy by matching his level of caring.

“We’re fine with corruption if comes with terrorizing brown people.” Really sums up the MAGA punditocracy.

He has to “act fast” because the statute of limitations for Comey’s testimony expires in like 9 days.

The whole project is just a grift.
