Here. In something nobody asked for, I've written about national security films I think people should watch. What consitutes a national security film to me is entirely arbitrary and I'm not accepting feedback. othermeans.substack.com/p/blood-on-t...

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

it absolutely stinks that the athletic poached great beat writers from local papers with the idea that every team would get a beat, and now they seem to be eliminating a lot of those same beats one by one

TV: And if you follow the cold front through the weekend, you'll see we have a 30% chance of upset. Me: ...What's upset? The Egyptian God Set: NOT MUCH DAWG, WHATS UP WITH YOU

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

A n attempted shoe bomber was caught and everyone had to take their shoes off to get on a plane for years. ChatGPT aids and abets a mass shooting and higher ed/business is still trying to unquestioningly shove AI down our throat whether we want it or not. What the fuck are we doing?

all this says is that Iran thinks they can survive longer than the US can tolerate 8 dollar a gallon gas and they are probably right tbh

Padelford and Desler have been doing everything but throw straight punches all evening MINvATX

I’m struggling to think of a worse display of reffing compared to level it is supposed to be at MNUFC MLS

"Getting to watch her spend that year still getting to be our mom, but without so much worry about money, was really special." In our new series with Springboard to Opportunities, children of mothers who received guaranteed income reflect on the difference just a little extra money can make.

Happy Mother's Day

This hit me so hard this week.

As a former 5 year resident of NE, it is immeasurably more enjoyable to walk AAW

”Moderates” willingness to compromise with white supremacists bent on destroying Black political power destroyed Reconstruction and led to a century of Jim Crow. Democrats need to play hardball, not compromise with segregationists.

Then Frog ran back to Toad's bed. “Toad, Toad, wake up! It is May now.”

“A recently published study in The Lancet, the British medical journal, forecast that at present rates the defunding will cost 9.4 million lives by 2030, including 2.5 million children under the age of 5.”

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636...

I’ve been listening and learning from Gary for a couple years now and believe I am better off for it

1. 🧵"If you are taking seats from Black people...then you are a thief." Baton Rouge civil rights activist Gary Chambers said the quiet part out loud Friday as GOP lawmakers push to wipe out Louisiana’s majority-Black districts. See the heated exchange👇

Also to celebrate V E day. 3 things that the nazis paid for, right before World War 2: 1) The new ballroom at the Reich Chancellory 2) The "fuhrerbunker" under that ballroom complex, where Hitler hid out during air raids. Some of y'all call this the downfall bunker. 3) Dachau concentration camp

Well done article from @us.theguardian.com on how the Trump administration's war on science and data is harming the American public. "Experts warn that Trump’s destruction of the country’s data infrastructure will have lasting impacts on all aspects of life..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.

This counts as a sign to tap … and scream into

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

again, covid killed my healthy dad. fuck this insane piece of shit.

“Ahhhh, it’s very much we hope under control” is the final line of the first chapter in every single zombie apocalypse book ever written

Obama and other liberals keep saying that they want a "strong GOP". Well, this is what it looks like: a brazen and gleeful rejection of Black people having anything worth respecting or defending and alignment with an openly white nationalist agenda that holds nonwhiteness in contempt.

Attention all men. More of this, please.

Every day the news bulletin begins "President Trump has said..." Yet we know he'll say something different tomorrow, which is different to what he said yesterday, & that none of these statements is likely to be true. I get the problem for broadcasters, but this model is actively occluding the news

As if I could not like her less… And it’s less…

This is the history many people don't want you to know occurred even as it's happening again all around you.

On this day in 1935, FDR signed an executive order creating the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Of 2,000 WPA posters known to exist—publicizing community activities, theatrical productions, and health and educational programs—the Library's collection of more than 900 is the largest.

My kingdom for a party who goes THIS COUNTRY BELONGS TO YOU, THE PEOPLE, NOT THEM, AND WE ARE GOING TO TAKE IT BACK AND THROW THEM ALL IN PRISON FOREVER FOR DARING TO SEIZE THE REPUBLIC AS THOUGH IT WAS A TOY THEY COULD ENVY AND STEAL

“We're going to go find your entire family your network anybody you spoke to on a phone,” CBP’s Rodney Scott said while talking about surveillance. He also described third-country removals as “funny” but walks it back “well maybe not funny but it doesn’t mean they’re deported to their own country.”

You know that you can file articles to impeach him, right?

So the Feds did more to investigate VA workers who went to Alex Pretti memorial than those who killed him.

“Deprescribing” already happens at every visit. It’s usually called medication review but RFK has no medical experience so makes sense he wouldn’t know. Incentivizing people to show they cut people off medications is a very stupid, very dangerous proposal. Pay for preventative primary care instead!
