reading Roberts' opinion in a vacuum one would think the whole fourteenth amendment was a codification of a widely accepted principle totally disconnected from race. KBJ is writing history in the hopes we make it out, and we owe her big time. also - why the FUCK didn't Kagan join this

Even the odious supreme court hates Alan Dershowitz

One of the many reasons that school drop off/pick up is bad for your kids. "peaks were registered by the sensor located by the street, during drop-off and pick-up hours on school days." www.cleanairfund.org/case-study/s...

OMG Roberts: "To “discharg[e] the duties of his trust,” the President must have the assistance of officers he can trust." He's literally creating constitutional protection for loyalty tests. Sweet heavens to Murgatroyd

Those fuckknobs must really think the country's never gonna get better and there'll be no retribution. Hope they're wrong.

The Department of Education is essential to our public schools, kids, and their futures.

Ignoring Congress and dismantling it is illegal and egregious, and our kids deserve better. That’s why I stand with @repbonamici.bsky.social in impeaching Education Sec McMahon.

In real life, Trump and his Republican and SCOTUS enablers would be ostracized out of public life.

This, but for a mesh network power grid managed as a public utility, too cheap to meter and multiply redundant. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/b...

Apropos of nothing.. I know what my heart is like Since your love died: It is like a hollow ledge Holding a little pool Left there by the tide, A little tepid pool, Drying inward from the edge. —Edna St.V Millay

They’re not hiding their agenda. They couldn’t care less that Republicans are destroying this country, SCOTUS, global relations, voting rights, civil/women’s rights, etc. Their sole focus…👉🏽 primary challenges to incumbent Democrats. This is not true opposition, it’s mediocrity & cowardice. 👇🏽

Every time one listens to any Republican speak it's like "no wait, *that's* the worst person in Congress."

Nothing will improve without first accepting the need for an immediate court expansion (upon a hoped-for congressional color reversal.) The fact that Dems can't accept progressive primary wins is concerning.

one of the things that really gets me about Landor's case is he gave prison officials a *printed copy* of a court opinion and they *threw it in the trash* and violated him anyway by blocking Landor's lawsuit, the Court is confirming the law was worthless garbage ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/lando...

“We have disparities across teams, across regions. No one who works at ProPublica — where we say we hire the best — should be living paycheck to paycheck.” This is why we’re fighting for fair wages: www.propublicaguild.org

"In Congress, he claimed respect from both parties — quite a feat given his right-wing philosophy." astronaut with gun .gif

One day Trump will discover Thomas Marshall's "What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar" quip and— hoo-boy— watch out! Never doubt how thoroughly he can turn even the dumbest, most mundane ideas into the personal tragedy of thousands.

i don't know how to make it clearer that there are 5,000 soldiers + federal agents + the 30-odd police forces that are always here + like the oklahoma sheriff's department for some reason, in an area that is *68 square miles* and has lower crime than many of the places these folks come from

So much 'innovation' in late stage capitalism is about finding new places to set up a toll booth. The AI industry will fail in replacing all human labour, but it may succeed in setting up a toll booth between you and your own brain, making people reliant on AI services to do their thinking for them

I did a version of this years ago based around the actual illustration from a real army recruitment ad

No one in the goddamn admin has a real job other than making life as miserable as possible for other people.

If you wanted proper context for Good, for example, you could show how federal cops repeatedly, illegally pulled ICE watchers from their cars and beat them. That might explain why Good tried to flee. Or discuss CBP’s history of putting themselves in front of cars to justify firing into them.

We used to have nuanced oppressors.

The U.S.'s disingenuous interactions with Mexico (and everywhere else) has always made int'l cooperation fraught. The current admin has made any cooperation suicidal. Yet the NY Times, et al., keep trying to normalize the intents of Trumpism. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/o...

A constitutional despotism, if you can keep it.

Not the main point here, but putting solar farms on terra firma, even if "desert", is not the way. There are plenty of man-made structures, including roads, train tracks, rooftops, and parking lots, for solar arrays.

They should make a vaccine to protect against the pathogens in raw milk.
