How gerrymandering works

THIS IS HUGE! The FIRST 100% effective HIV PrEP drug, Lenacapavir, is APPROVED AND GOING GLOBAL. The makers are providing AFFORDABLE access to the drug in the United States AND beyond, signing ROYALTY-FREE licensing agreements with SIX generic manufacturers to produce AND supply it. 🧪🧵⬇️

I once was interviewed by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum about Godwin's Law. I was proud that they had reached out to me for their Voices on Antisemitism series. Recently I discovered that USHMM disappeared the text and audio of my interview. (I'm still there, but my content is gone.) 1/2

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

The Bloviating Tangerine and the Ketamine Addict are having a Twitter feud, and the whole world is reacting like "FIGHT BEHIND THE BLEACHERS AFTER SCHOOL!"

Just heard that they're changing the call sign of Air Force One to Panda Express. It's known for carrying Orange Chicken. #TACO

If you're trying to convince yourself of reasons why you're safe from your government, you're not.

The chucklefucks who are all guffawing and cheering at the destruction of institutions and services they, themselves, also depend on are doing so because they think you'll get it worse, and they want to watch you suffer. Even if we defeat Trump, they'll still be there, and they will never stop.

Of course she did. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

"The jail’s gonna win and the police is gonna win. It’s a win/win for the judge,” he said. “They gonna make money and both ends gonna make money. It’s a win/win for them. It’s a loss for you. They don’t care about us." fox59.com/news/indycri...

Here’s the clip.

JUST IN: President Trump is authorizing the military to occupy and take jurisdiction over public land along the southern border.

This funny 'American Pie' parody bites hard — from a comedy show that went out a few days ago in the UK

becoming increasingly convinced that in the past year or so people have gotten markedly dumber and worse at communicating or digesting information communicated to them. i don’t know why but i refuse to write it off as just my patience magically evaporating.

“What did they expect?” is kind of a misleading question. The people who supported them didn’t expect something very specific. They expected to own the libs. They expected people they resented to suffer. The expected the world to burn. It wasn’t about specifics.

One of your investments did not lose a dime today… SOCIAL SECURITY. And remember, it’s the one they want to get rid of… Paying ATTENTION, yet?!

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

What is taught to senior military leaders at our nation’s War Colleges is that a nation’s power emanates from four areas: -Strength of diplomacy -Strength of economy -Strength of its military -Strength of truthful public information. All combine to determine power on the global stage.

Republicans, you're in a cult.

I'm not sure I can express what it feels like as a sliding scale/pro bono lawyer watching Biglaw firms, many of which I have litigated against on behalf of marginalized people, offer to represent fascists for free. www.huffpost.com/entry/skadde...

This is so terrifying. I can’t even watch it. Like a horror movie

If, as Mario Cuomo once said, “You campaign in poetry, you govern in prose,” then Trump issues executive orders as performance art. Like many of his others, this order is confused, rhetorical and — in places — nonsensical. It asserts facts that are not true and claims authority he does not possess.

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.
