May Day has been declared a day of civic action in Chicago schools, which means buses will be provided for students and educators to join the rally in Union Park.

Me: Isn't this great? Democrats: Hell yeah. We didn't know we were supposed to fight back Me: I know. I know...

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you will know I am an AI skeptic. But for the lawyers, much to my surprise, I have discovered some genuinely helpful use cases that I will share here: 1. Upload your brief and ask it to find typos. It’s incredibly good at that.

This is The Way

if you’ve suddenly realized gerrymandering is bad, may I introduce you to the electoral college

"POLIO IS NOT 'SITMAXXING'"

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Having looked into this more, I think the current game between the Rockets and the Lakers may be the first time this has ever happened.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Coldplay never called them

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

EXCLUSIVE: The SPLC indictment, the Klan history behind it, and the ignominy of Todd Blanche. Another dark day for DOJ. Tonight, at Law Dork:

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Two things can be true: Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

Same vibe. #RFKJr #AOC

The Pitt is like this too, I’m not interested in spending time in a hospital, I’m probably eventually going to die in one

Very colourful and lovely here at the moment.

Kevin Warsh, Donald Trump’s pick to replace Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve, denied that he would be the president’s “sock puppet.”

Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps. They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing. We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.

Don’t start no shit. Won’t be no shit.

TRUMP TAKE EGG. TRUMP TAKE JOB. TRUMP TAKE FUCK.

The man who recently pleaded guilty to New York's Gilgo Beach serial murders has told his ex-wife he killed most of his female victims in the family's suburban home.

According to previous anti-vax cycles (it is a recurrent cycle, an outbreak of hysteria every 50 years or so) the antivax fever will end after mass death of children. That usually does it. One would think we could skip the mass sacrifice, but no. We won't. #MedSky

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

Platnered and Pikered candidates are a cancer on the Democratic Party. Democrat in key race defended guns after mass shooting and insulted Kaepernick

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win. These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Any AUSAs who agree to take on this case, any AUSAs who oversee them, and any USA/DAG who chooses to lead them should never find employment as lawyers again. (Except obv the oligarchs will find sinecures for some--but not all--of them. Accountability and billionaires are too often incompatible.)

Sorry but we’re at war here, if you don’t realize that you’ve lost

I used to live not to far from the SPLC headquarters and read their magazine and probably the thing they are most up-front to donors about is establishing an intelligence network to monitor the far-right

The last time this many labor unions in NYS publicly backed taxing the rich to a significant degree—and thereby knowingly courted the ire of the governor—was 2009, when NY WFP first passed the "millionaire's tax" (still in effect today). Now, NYC-DSA + Zohran are also helping pull labor to the left.

the extremists the govt alleges have been paid snitches for the SPLC for years are not named in the indictment but there is enough info to identify them if you have some knowledge of the organizations involved... a couple of racists are about to get a lot of angry phone calls from their friends

Correct.

"...it was almost inevitable that a weaponized DOJ would try something like this. Discrediting the SPLC is a way of retroactively rehabilitating everyone the SPLC ever exposed."

Re-elect Sen. Jon Ossoff, Georgia. And push out the Senate GOP majority, America. Think how things would change.

A businessman who garnered headlines last year with a prominent “Vote for Trump” sign received President Donald Trump’s endorsement in the race to fill Elise Stefanik’s House seat in upstate New York.

The first epidemic of the 1918 flu in the United States occurred at the military’s Camp Funston, Kansas (later Fort Riley). Infected soldiers headed to WWI battlefields carried the flu to Europe. Millions died It’s not *vaccination* that weakens force readiness.
