Absolutely needed to survive this time and place.

I really wish more of Silicon Valley would wake up to the fact that the backlash to this is going to be massive and the blast radius will impact many other companies as well.

President Donald Trump has no legitimate grounds to order the seizure of ballots or voting machines during this year’s midterm elections. But the dismal reality is he may try anyway. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As dishonest as you may think Donald Trump is, it's not enough. As stupid as you may think Donald Trump is, it's not enough. As corrupt as you may think Donald Trump is, it's not enough. As mentally ill as you may think Donald Trump is, it's not enough.

Sometimes, getting up in the morning so you can go get yelled at by an angry judge is just what your job is that day. Sometimes it's even unavoidable. But a lot of the time it's because you represent someone who is really dumb.

This is pure bloodlust insanity.

Pablo is crushing investigative reporting.

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

Full on tinpot dictator

This is my very favorite story of today.

DARVO in action. Fuck this guy.

Historians, help me out: Do we have precedent for what to do when the media interviews members of cults and just platforms them, with zero acknowledgment that they are living inside their own delusions? www.marketplace.org/episode/2026...

This and the thread it is from: “It is dangerous to distract ourselves with a fantasized AI-enabled utopia or apocalypse which promises either a ‘flourishing’ or "potentially catastrophic" future [1]. Such language that inflates the capabilities of automated systems and anthropomorphizes them…”

💯

💯. But logical consistency is not a part of this courts modus. Bigotry and contrived evidence is.

Your legally knowledgeable friend is a witness. Your AI legal tool is a subpoena target. Your attorney is not

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

Amazing read. And I always hated that Mr. Beast guy. Looks like it was the right call.

How worried are Republicans that they are about to lose the Virginia redistricting special election? Today, they filed a lawsuit against Fairfax County. www.democracydocket.com/cases/fairfa...

we cannot live this way.

Who could’ve seen this coming?!?!? WAVES ARMS AROUND

What. The. Hell.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Hey, doomscroller from the US. Are you neurospicy? Overwhelmed? Want to help but finding congresspeople is way too much executive functioning? Here is a 4.9 star rated free app I’ve used for years that gives you scripts and Zip based lists of contact info. 5 calls - apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

I'm going to say this one last time: these are war crimes he is threatening. Plain and simple. If you're a member of the Intelligence Community or our Armed Forces, remember that your oath is to the Constitution and to Federal law. Not to this lunatic. Please stay safe.

I’ll never forgive anyone who voted for this. You knew it was going to happen, it was just a matter of when.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Holy shit this made me cackle.

I’d buy that and read it, twice.

The only appropriate response to that statement.

Kagan: "You're using some pretty obscure sources to get to this." "obscure sources" is, apparently, Kagan's euphemism for FUCKING OPENLY RACISTS SOURCES WHO WERE DEVOUT WHITE SUPREMACISTS

Live tweeting the drafting of Orders and seeking input from chat. The judiciary is cooked.

Rand Paul is an asshole. But he’s smart.

Please be sure to provide pin cites for quotes. Hahaha

Cops are never there to protect you.

From the “no new wars” guy. He’s a psychopath and a pathological liar.

Cops lie.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
