It is worth reminding ourselves once again how much of American jurisprudence after the civil war was designed for two major purposes: 1. Disenfranchisement of black America 2. Making a social democracy impossible

ngl seeing the clip of obama trying to lecture on civility is just making me more and more into a “power is power” kinda guy lol

Normal people also have gay and trans friends and stuff though. The overemphasis on money is not voter service, it’s donor service

FYI—- if you are like me and have cast a wary eye on American news networks, you can watch news from Reuters, Al Jazeera, Canada and AP on Haystack News. You can find the app on your Smart TV and it’s free with short commercials. My PSA for the day🙂

it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

Today I wrote about our grotesque cultural flat-eartherism, an apparently regretful Dave Chappelle, an apparently apologetic Tucker Carlson, and the pressing need to use discernment if we would change a culture of abuse into a culture of healing. www.the-reframe.com/incredible-c...

They're doing the detransition thing but with autism now.

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC. Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

I spent two weeks looking into accusations that Hasan Piker is antisemitic. What I found was damning: prominent organizations and leaders have spread total falsehoods about him. Whether he's antisemitic is for you to decide. But everyone should care when the ADL & politicians spread disinformation.

It is not a conspiracy anymore.

every republican

Concerned citizens have turned to the Neighbors app, once used largely to look for lost deliveries, to make public service announcements about ICE raids in their communities.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

“i voted for him because i didn’t think he would do what he said he’d do”

Teams Red and Blue intentionally produce massive economic, social, and political harm in order to consolidate and reinforce their POWER. What’s worse, is that Americans know it and still vote for them. In every poll roughly 2/3 of Americans, of all ideologies say we need a viable third party.

Short selling #TSLA stock continues to be a winning strategy in this market. Vote with your wallet. #TeslaTakedown

Yes! ✊☮️💙🌊🐕‍🦺

X is unusable Threads is gloomy and manipulative. But good God is this app filled with the dumbest liberals.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

pass it on

seems like a No then

I'm gonna sit back, relax, and let the AARP crowd beat him to death in the streets

When 7% of University of Virginia students are Black, in a state that 18% Black, that's DEI run amok. When 50% of Federal Judges are members of the Federalist Society while 5% of law students are members of the Federalist Society, that's the meritocracy at its finest.

The Tesla protests are getting bigger — and rowdier

Is using the Russian army as a threat to Ukraine the best way to get a low price on Ukrainian minerals? Or is it best to support genocide by Russia and buy the minerals from the new overlords? This University of Chicago economist has thoughts.

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

i am not going to be nice about people defending the democrats right now. it's not like they cared last time i was in withdrawal as a result of their policies

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

It sucks that like 90% of maturing and becoming a better person is realizing what an asshole you were.

Incredible news! The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order. The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care. ACLU statement here:

Silicon Valley be all like "You didn't want to buy our monkey jpgs and conduct meetings with VR headsets, I guess we have no choice but to start WW3"

Congestion pricing in New York City is a month old. What are the results? Less crime as subway ridership up, less cars, less traffic, more people walking around, and increasing popularity. Here's a thread of recent stories about it.

First-wave fascism gave rise to artists like Ezra Pound and Céline. Who are the hot new artists associated with today's second-wave fascism?

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night. I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Gotta love leftists who're like "Saddam Hussein raised Iraq's living standards" like his right-wing party didn't kill the communist-aligned land reformer with CIA assistance and broadcast it on national television

Sometimes the Revolution is just standing on a sidewalk so that cops don't harass your neighbor.

The reason why I'm betting on blue sky is because all the gays are here. Where the gays go so goes the culture

Luigi Mangione’s fellow prisoners yelled “Luigi’s conditions suck” and “Free Luigi” from their cells in Pennsylvania during an interview: www.newsnationnow.com/banfield/lui...

Inbox: ‘Wanted’ posters of healthcare CEOs wheatpasted around lower Manhattan ahead of today’s Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference. “Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class,” per anon communique.

Hate to say I was right, but...I'd also be lying if I was wrong

This is why health insurance execs are running scared now. They've known all along that they're killing people. They didn't realize we knew it, too, and that for at least some of us, it's time for a reckoning.

Your yearly reminder that John Lennon wrote a lot of amazing and wonderful songs that we should continue to sing and enjoy, but that "Imagine" is not one of them.
