ZION POSTERS WEMBY TO START THE GAME

Liveskeeting the MO special session on redistricting: State Rep. Smith, Dem from St. Louis area, is tearing it up. She said she is willing to wait for demographic data and has invoked how Missouri joined the United States. sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00325/Harmon...

About 3/4 of Jewish Americans voted for Harris in 2024. Most care more about America than they do about any foreign country. More of them are anti-Netanyahu than pro-. It really sucks to use Jewish Americans as political props for things most of them don't even agree with.

At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the preferred methods for treating trauma-induced anxiety among undocumented immigrants and their families. But after the recent ICE raids, mental-health-care providers are modifying their approaches.

Thinking today about how rich conservatives throw their money at 500 different people doing whatever they want and if 10 payoff they consider it money well spent while rich liberals will make you complete a 35 page proposal to hope to get $15k for certain prescribed activities.

This is a bad day for America, but this is nonetheless a huge win for trans people and I think it’s incumbent on us to celebrate McBride’s work here. This Matters

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

Casey Means, Trump’s pick for Surgeon General, owns a company that sells a wearable device for monitoring glucose in people who don’t need to monitor their glucose.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

The people start chanting “no more wars” — and this is in Tulsa, OK. I don’t think the media is going to be able to manufacture consent as easily for this one.

This is brutal. This would never be tolerated in a men’s pro league! Sky need new ownership STAT.

the cost of 10 refurbished TI-83s

Angel Reese with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists today logged her first WNBA triple-double. She is the 2nd-youngest player to record a triple-double in the WNBA, behind only Caitlin Clark. u.acrossthetimeline.com/stat-cxBjx

The violence reported is that two people drove their cars into protesters.

no draft kings (really, i think online gambling is a terrible scam)

The Justice Department is dropping police reform agreements with Louisville and Minneapolis, which came after the killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd

This is your regular reminder that Stephen Miller's first Fox News appearance was making victim-blaming comments during the Duke lacrosse case. (He was a Duke student at the time.) All of the villains in our government have sexual violence in their origin story. All of them.

Confirmed as a bomb. "It has been identified as a bomb that was either in or near the car." – Mayor of Palm Springs.

The NBA and WNBA teams from the same city have won the lottery at the same time only once before, per @benpickman.bsky.social. In 2003, the Cleveland Rockers selected LaToya Thomas No. 1 overall while the Cavaliers took LeBron James. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

I already cancelled my WaPo subscription so.... maybe cancel yours if you still have one?

“Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of South Memphis that already leads the state in emergency department visits for asthma.”

Exactly this

So Pope Leo has "Creole of color roots from New Orleans." Every scholar of race in America knows what that means. Under the "one drop rule,"* the world now has its first Black pope. 😄 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

As long as we’re talking about elephants: Undocumented immigration is primarily driven by American companies hiring undocumented workers so they can pay them below the legal minimum wage. They then pass some of that illegal savings on to everyone in our economy. “Illegals” make everything cost less.

This plus the Adams thing is really quite the pairing

Jews are less safe in America because of all political hacks weaponizing the concept of antisemitism in bad faith. As a Jew, I’m not afraid of pro-Palestine protestors. I am afraid that nobody will give a shit about real antisemitism when they’re desensitized to it because of stuff like this.

Direct File successfully eliminated tax prep fees for thousands of American families in the states where it was piloted. It reduced profits of tax-prep companies like TurboTax and they make a lot of political contributions to protect those profits.

"People" is doing a lot of work in this quote. I think what he means to say (or would if he wasn't scared of acknowledging his own hypocrisy) is "It's much healthier [FOR ME] to live in a society in which [NARCISSISTIC, BIGOTED WHITE MEN] are literally not scared of what they're saying."

After spending decades *accusing* Black women of having babies to get payments from the government, they want to encourage white women to have babies to get payments from the government.

Bonds have been selling off over the past few days, signaling deep fissures in the economy and financial markets.

they call that "turning a prophet"

Figuring out who sent the email

Breaking: @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social and @nlanard.bsky.social speak ro relatives and lawyers of men the Trump administration is trying to send to Venezuela tonight: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Condi Rice suffered no consequences for lying us into Iraq. She runs the Hoover Institute at Stanford and is a business school prof. She also helped hire Troy Taylor as the school’s head football coach. He just had to resign after two years and two separate scandals involving harassing employees.

I hope other university alliances start pooling resources and engaging in the kinds of collective action Rutgers is proposing here for the Big Ten. senate.rutgers.edu/report/resol...

Don't care about JK Rowling, too busy JK'ing and rolling Taken at London Trans Pride 2024

I am always interested in hearing more unpublished information about Ed Martin, especially about connections he made in St. Louis years ago. If you want to talk, I'm mlm335 on Telegram or mandawritesthings at proton dot me, or DM for Signal/Wire/whatever.

Louisiana voters soundly rejected four constitutional amendments championed by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry.

Their attorneys cannot find them. Immigration rights advocates cannot reach them. They exist now as detached from America and the loved ones they were forcibly, and suddenly, separated from.

Many have pointed out how the larger conversation about the group chat eludes discussion of the horrors of war, but seeing a civilian woman just accepted as “excellent” collateral is … pretty ghastly

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Dems should hold nonstop Congressional hearings dedicated to this breach for the foreseeable future. They have an opportunity to absolutely paralyze the fed govt over this. We all know that’s what Mitch McConnell would have done with this. Do the Dems have the courage to meet this moment?

More than 100,000 Israelis turned out over the weekend to protest Netanyahu and the broken ceasefire.

More millennial women are reaching a transitional age of declining hormones and disruptive symptoms. They’re not suffering in silence.

I know this is the most tired take, but truly, can you imagine what the GOP “security” hawks would have done if this had happened under a Dem administration?

Few things make me livid when I see them online seeing parents proudly say they have no regrets after letting their child die of measles, a fully preventable disease, I lose it for a bit. That’s child neglect. CPS has taken Black kids for far less, and it’s infuriating to watch this go unchecked.

This is correct.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵
