The system working as intended. They want to push trans youth to either leave the state or take their own lives. Idaho got both outcomes here and now the lawsuit against them has to be dismissed.

The only reason Sulzberger has the stones to say this out loud is because no matter how blatantly obvious the NYT is regarding their love of Trump or their constant need to rip off other journalists, there's still a segment of suckers who believe this trash is essential reading.

A Florida wildlife biologist was summarily fired for *reposting* an Instagram joke about Charlie Kirkâs death. LibsofTikTok complained. A state officialâs false statements in legal proceedings led to sanctions. And now the state will settle by paying her $485,000.

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

And this is why liberals always lose to fascists. They're so busy trying to preserve institutions that they never look up to see that the barbarians are at the gate and already set fire to those very institutions. You either fight these bastards or they will never stop.

To put a finer point on this: the Attorney General of the United States is a felon. Not a minor thug, but a felon who committed one of the most serious offenses identified in the text of our Constitution...in broad daylight. This wasn't bad judgment; it's worthy of imprisonment.

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.

I like how the $8 million in staff cuts could easily be offset by the recent $80 million in donations coming from Steve Ballmer and his wife, but that money won't be used to save human jobs, and is instead earmarked for "technological innovation" (read: given to Microsoft for enterprise services)

If we do not clean house on both sides of the aisle, if we don't throw people from both sides of the aisle in prison, this dark ass America we're living in right now is gonna get much worse. And no amount of wishing it were different is gonna change any of that. We can fix it. But we have to fix it.

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyerâa man he made AG for this corrupt purposeâthe theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

Lawmakers have spent too long giving away tax breaks to the wealthy & pouring endless money into violence and war, while schools are left with scraps. See just how much more funding we could give public schools if priorities shifted. Visit the public school funding calculator:

If half the political system affirms the rule of law and other half doesn't, it can't be sustained. You can't have a professionalized administrative state four years at a time, & a lawless, personalist administrative dictatorship the rest of the time.
