I don't think this premise is correct, primarily because right wing organizing subsists on churches and well-financed PACs but also because I don't think they actually are that much more effective. Like the Moral Majority was never remotely a majority and its seeming ubiquitousness is sockpuppetry

My new position is that artists who are loud about genAI art theft ought to care just as loudly about data labeling/moderation labor outsourced to countries w/ vulnerable populations GenAI literally could not function or have been built without the hidden work of armies of gig workers paid cents

EXCLUSIVE: I just revealed that Rep. @tomsuozzi.bsky.social lives at C Street. That’s the DC townhouse run by The Family, the secretive Christian group that runs the National Prayer Breakfast. Suozzi pays $800/month. He's kept it secret for years. There’s more…

yeah you gotta willie horton ken paxton. have the party committees and super pacs run ads explicitly accusing paxton of covering up for a child abuser. “you love your children and would do anything to protect them. so why would you vote for a man who lets child abusers run free”

I for one cannot believe that a CIA agent would do anything illegally deceitful

I do not mean to pick on people but the idea that recognizing Israel's "right to exist" or even worse "right to exist as a Jewish state" will somehow unlock the pathway to a resolution needs to be subject to the fact that the PLO already did the first one and it didn't result in anything.

The point isn't to absolve the evil citizens of this evil country, but to beg any fucking person with an ounce of charisma and a heartbeat to stand up and say "who gives a shit?" to these kinds of smears against trans people or muslims or whoever.

One year ago today, Trump and his regime singled out a teenage trans athlete in California and demanded the state segregate her. Mere hours later, Gavin Newsom and the state happily complied, and today separate-but-equal segregation remains the reality for trans kids in CA.

NEW: The Continuing Humiliations of White Supremacist Jake Lang Edward Jacob “Jake” Lang was arrested again on May 21, setting a pattern that began this year when he vandalized an ice sculpture in front of the Minnesota State Capitol reading “Prosecute ICE” during Operation Metro Surge.

"I know it’s too hot in my prison when prisoners start checking into suicide-watch cells in our medical area. People employ various excuses, but most know they do it because the infirmaries have air conditioning."

NEW: A federal judge in Lower Manhattan is considering whether to further restrict the Department of Homeland Security’s ability to keep detained immigrants inside holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza.

"The third party doctrine has gutted the Fourth Amendment in the digital age, letting the government collect your data without ever getting a warrant. Nick Anthony and Naomi Brockwell of the Ludlow Institute discuss a new bill that would change that, and what you can do to protect yourself today."

just remembered the time, back when I was on twitter, that I said 'originalism is astrology for people who feel bullied by the Civil Rights Movement' and a bunch of people into astrology were like 'how dare you' 😭

Robby Roadsteamer is here in his usual giraffe suit and singing/roasting ICE agents to their faces. One of them is visibly laughing at the roast.

🚨URGENT need for more people to join the protesters outside Delaney Hall as ICE escalates their violence, per people on the ground. show up if you can.🚨

John Cornyn tried reading Art of the Deal, going to Trump Burger, proposed renaming a Texas highway after him. He ate so much shit for Donald Trump and now he's out of a job, anyway. I wrote about it: www.chron.com/texas/articl...

My colleagues and I dug into the motivations behind the San Diego shooting, finding deeply racist and misogynistic beliefs, a reverence for accelerationists and “Terrorgram,” & great replacement rhetoric that sounds eerily like what some congressman are saying www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

"One of her biggest fears was being regarded as a joke, but how devastating it must have been to work so hard, to read so hard, to educate herself and learn, to have a wonderful personal library only for people to claim you never read any of it."

i summon courage and inspiration to be a vocal AI hater from the guys who loudly supported the war in iraq and still haven't apologized

In New Jersey, detainees at Delaney Hall have issued a collective statement. www.lahuelga.com/sos

Breaking: The NYS Assembly, dominated by democrats, just voted for a Trumpy energy agenda that guts the NY climate law. The climate law delayed action by 7 years, but a court had ordered Hochul to implement it… so she moved to gut it and the legislature is obliging. 🤦🤦🤦

the AHA comparing Historians for Palestine to the NRA is a red flag for me, personally, as a historian of contemporary politics

"His father sent a message via WhatsApp from Cancún. “Forgive me for not being able to be by your side on this special day. It saddens me not to be able to hug you & congratulate you in person. Dad loves you very much,” he wrote in Spanish, alongside a photo of the boy wearing a little cowboy hat."

my sincere hope for this moment is that people understand that these reports apply to every detention site, and that detention in of itself is a potential death sentence for anyone in this country no one should experience these horrors regardless of what they’re accused of
