Few reporters have done more to shine light on the shadow docket than New York Times investigative journalist Jodi Kantor. Along with her colleague Adam Liptak, Kantor recently published a number of previously undisclosed memos detailing the shadow docket’s expansion under the Roberts court.

It's kinda crazy how all world leaders seem to have just decided to give up on fighting the climate crisis and let the poor and middle class burn/drown/starve or whatever while they race to see who can make the most profit off that dystopia for the next decade or so

If Platner is already lying to you, what makes you think he’s going to have conviction when it comes to the policies? We’ve already lost Maine. We can choose to lose with integrity or dishonorably supporting a candidate who doesn’t respect or deserve your trust.

The right Q

We’re currently fighting an initiative in Washington State that has genital exams as part of the enforcement mechanism. www.kuow.org/stories/tran...

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

Reminder to Colorado journalists: if you’re interviewing a winning candidate who usually claims that elections are rigged, ask them why this election was rigged in their favor.

I'll tell you one thing, any Democratic 2028 presidential candidate who says they're going to "restore balance" and not fire every last Trump appointee on every commission on their first day in office doesn't deserve a single primary vote

i cannot stress enough how much this man should not be the democratic presidential nominee

Once again, one should be more afraid of *being* a racist than being called one

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

I have the best/simplest solution to the AIPAC debate: ban ALL Super PACs, CU and Dark Money in our politics. They’re a cancer on democracy.

There are lots of things that are tragic about the patriarchal bargain but one of them is that it doesn’t even work.

i hope media executives are taking note of the tens of thousands of people who for several hours on a friday night have stayed glued to livestreams of scaffolding being built just so they could witness his name getting knocked off a building

I also am a lifetime m dash writer and am befuddled by what to do about their sudden “AI slop” connotations stigma. If everyone changes, too, would not AI writing gradually change with us and we would just be setting off on a new version of the euphemism treadmill?

At what point does the antipathy towards the law repeatedly shown by the Leonard Leo crew render the entire Supreme Court null & void? There’s no longer even the pretense of fairness. When do we decide to ignore them? Or do we just continue to let six hateful white nationalists destroy the country?

The US is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure

Weird, it’s almost like our country has been run by the most cynical, corrupt, dishonest bullies for the majority of the last decade spreading their toxic vitriol in all public spaces.

The problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.

Sunday coming on Monday vibes.

What does Trump really want from Cuba?

👇🏽

They do eventually get to the thing I don’t understand: If you don’t learn how to do anything except plug prompts into chatbots, what do you envision anybody hiring you for? I would love it if people just *wanted* to be able to think critically, but it’s also practical?

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

i developed early and garnered a lot of attention from men older than me enough to be my dad. it felt disgusting. even more so because i KNOW i looked and acted my age

We looked like little girls, we acted like little girls, & the grown men hitting on us knew better. And this culture thinks it got off easy scapegoating all that on Epstein.

John Wilkes Booth played the long game :(

I focus on clean energy news when I’m particularly stressed because there are a lot of hopeful things going on in that space.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

In the underfunded and undervalued world of ballet, dancers are often pressured to work for exposure. Back in 2021, Britt Stigler wrote on labor practices in the industry.

“For major US cities to bring their public transit up to ‘world-class’ status, it would cost an enormous $4.6tn, involving 7,500 miles of new dedicated infrastructure … over the next 20 years” “While the amount … appears astronomical, it pales compared with the $6.3tn the US will spend on highways”

This is a point that is not made often enough. At @motherjones.com we have extremely good medical benefits, and I'm glad about that, but the cost means we have fewer journalists than we otherwise would. It's just insane to link healthcare to employment on every level.

As a small business owner, I could bring in more revenue with more staff. But I cannot afford to bring on people with benefits that workers expect and deserve. Only 51% of small businesses cover at least partial premiums, down from 54% two years ago. Medicare for All is a boon for small business.

"Naming the bad guys is the surefire way to make working people understand: If the Democrats are against those guys—the corporate bad actors who’ve been nickel-and-diming honest working folks—they must be on my side." newrepublic.com/article/2098...

As the Roberts SCOTUS dismantles the Constitution of the United States, they also provide the reason to scuttle the court, period. If the Constitution is no longer valid, than the Court which interprets it likewise is invalid. A relic of the past that should be consigned to the landfill of history.

No doubt 😒 #MakeAmericaSmartAgain 🇺🇸

The Republicans used to speak of “Death Panels” didn’t they

Also why do we tolerate Presidency by social media posts?

Splashdown confirmed! Let us welcome the crew of Artemis II back to our pale blue dot.

The New York Times reporting on how Trump and his inner circle came to the decision to attack Iran is so infuriating lmao. "Ultimately, his inner circle trusted his gut because he'd already gotten away with so much he shouldn't have." BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE. YOU! AHHHH!

"I think we as a species need largely symbolic and inspirational projects like this from time to time, to keep us sane and optimistic and in touch with our humanity." defector.com/artemis-moon...

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

Not that we tried to warn people ICE was going to be everywhere all the time unless they got defunded, but we tried to warn people ICE was going to be everywhere all the time unless they got defunded.

The best explanation and contextualization of the government's tactical failure and moral bankruptcy I've seen yet. No paywall; you're welcome. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/o...

One: He isn’t paying for shit because he never does Two: because he never does and never has, it’s irresponsible to report this like he will Three: It’s illegal for him to do so and even if it weren’t, the correct answer is for him to pay his goddamn taxes
