#5debutalbums8084 Those of you who know me are aware that I am a huge Game Theory fan. Their debut, Blaze of Glory, was released in 1982. They hadn’t adopted the iconic G yet.

Zohran Mamdani: “We are an existential threat to billionaires who think their money can buy our democracy. We are an existential threat to a broken status quo that buries the voices of working people beneath corporations.

#5debutalbums8084 I hadn’t listened to Los Angeles by X in a long while. I forgot how great this album was. Definitely among the best of 1980, if not all 4 years. Here they are performing the title track back then via @YouTube. youtu.be/yOz2PVCdKf0?...

i think if you're a journalist and you say this has nothing to do with the government shutdown or funding cuts and you don't bother mentioning their existing funding levels, the 25% nasa cuts, or the 47% proposed cuts, you shouldn't be a journalist anymore.

You know a lot of attention has been put on #RFKJr, #RussellVought & the #GOP Congress on the mess we’re facing but it’s time for #JohnRoberts and his court to take equal blame for the lawless destruction of public health. They are political actors here, no longer can hide behind their robes.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Starting this fall, all California high schools were supposed to offer an ethnic studies course — but the ambitious mandate has fallen flat, upending a years-long effort designed to teach about groups whose history was long overlooked.

Dessa bedrövligt svinaktiga hjärtlösa gubbar som aldrig i sina vildaste drömmar kommer åstadkomma nånting som ens går att jämföra med det Greta Thunberg, 22 år, har gjort i världen. Vad driver dem. Misogyni. Avund. Själslig tomhet. Eller bara ren oförfalskad dumhet.

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America. They just want to kill Americans.

🎩 We’re officially living in a police state!

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?
