It should be obvious that this "partisan index" gerrymander is unfair. Each time it is applied, the index increases, and the voice of those opposing the GOP gets smaller. It is a feedback cycle, converging on 100% GOP control at all levels, and all others' votes dwindling into meaninglessness.

Again: what was the emergency that warranted overturning lower courts' reasoned opinions, without providing a reason?

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

I still don’t know who’s behind is behind the owner shell company, “JET BLACK MANAGEMENT GROUP.” Thank you again to my editors @rollingstone.com. They are still doing great work amid some corporate BS. Read the story www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Y'all seeing this? I am feeling rage.

Hard to believe this is not a parody, but it's real. When the world is waking up to the depravity of the ultra-rich, Trump welcomes them with open arms. 1/2

H/t Dave Zirin. This is old, but it bears revisiting, now that virtually the whole world has acknowledged the Gazan genocide, and the list of countries recognizing Palestine is growing. These students were speaking truths the whole world now sees, and for that, they paid with their freedom.

He wants to unsurrender?

In the America in which I grew up, this kind of brazen corruption would have led to shame, resignations, and prosecution. Now, it is barely worth mentioning.

Hey, folks, just wanted to remind you that if you book your travel to anti-American violent actions through the Antifa Travel Department, you get a discount fare. You can apply for reimbursement from George Soros. And if you wear your uniform, you'll board with Group 1, and get a free drink!

Again, the fantasy that laws dictate what happens in authoritarianism. Authority manufactures itself. "...there is no ... domestic terrorism law, noted Mary McCord...(T)here is no legal authority to actually designate a domestic group as a terrorist organization."

This caught my eye. Think about it a bit. And the thought process underlying it. "ICE officers will not wait for immigration violators to commit a crime before they are detained."

We are living in the age of monsters, never imagined 250 years ago. What WAS imagined was the need to adapt our base principles to meet new circumstances, new threats. But that innovation has been strangled by so-called "originalists."

Another network bends the knee

Pathetically wrong read of the situation. The "fight" has not shifted, nor has conservatives' stance on free speech shifted. The MSM, now including Axios, are still mis-identifying MAGA fascists and Trump toadies/capitulators as conservatives. They are not. This misread is tragic and dangerous.

If there were any basis for the complaint, I'd gift this article. But you can get all the information from the headline, and surmise the rest. It is the usual: self-pity and affronted narcissism, dressed up with legal terms.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Wasting no time to use Kirk's death to drive another few nails into the coffin of democracy. Just a reminder: if you're a Democrat, or a liberal, or a progressive, or even a traditional conservative, you are in the "radical left lunatic" class that Bondi will be coming after.

So many people are asking how they can support me.. The best way .. is to support @resistanceschool.bsky.social! I’ll be teaching Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 next month. Sign up for lectures by me and guest speakers! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

The last remaining Black opinion columnist on the Washington Post fired for...condemning gun violence? Quoting Kirk's own words? She was fired for practicing journalism while Black.

Another "shadow docket" decision, lacking reasoning or justification. This is perhaps the most pernicious of all, explicitly enabling racial profiling. In one logic-less step, the Trump Poodle Court Majority has pushed us back to the days of using racial harassment as a tool of White Supremacy.

Dear Justice Barrett, Justice should be blind, but Justices shouldn't be.

Yet another "emergency" stay where there is no emergency, granting a new power to the executive without justification.

What is the urgency in firing an FTC Commisioner? Why did it merit an emergency order? Again, SCOTUS abuses its power in order to grant Trump a new power without justification. Oh, and Amy Coney Barrett is blind.

On my to-read list

So? That's irrelevant, and I hope no judge is idiot enough to take that into account.

"The raid, conducted by ICE with assistance from local sheriff’s deputies, left at least a dozen children returning from their first day of school to find one or both parents missing."

The "crime?" Investment was secured, and plant constructed, during the Biden administration. This is just another step in Trump erasing the accomplishments of his opponents, regardless of whom it hurts.

I hope Mr. Coppola and Mr. Duvall have something to say about this. Until they do, allow me to point out that TRUMP DON'T SURF!

I ... Well, just when you thought the Guardians of Pedophiles couldn't get more ridiculous. They're sweating bullets and shitting bricks.

Um...where are the large quantities of drugs? Whoopsie!
