In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"

Immigrants power California’s economy and keep our state moving. Indiscriminately targeting them is not only cruel but illegal, and Californians aren’t buying it.

I’d just like to point out that counter protesters outside the hotels used to house immigrants/asylum seekers are not all “left wing.” Many are just decent human beings sick of the way these people have been demonised by our Labour government, the Tories and Reform.

Paying Too Much for Energy? Dems Say Blame the GOP

A perk of living with other autistic people, I don’t have to explain why I can’t use a certain fan. I just have to turn it on so they can hear the high pitch sound it makes (that is either caused by a gear needing lubricant or just electricity) and it gets unanimously voted out of the house.

"But what good have all these anti-hero narratives done for us? We’ve been entertained, sure, but it also feels pretty obvious that they’ve normalized an American masculinity that is selfish, abusive, nihilistic, and ultimately self-destructive."

making my way through the ken burns JAZZ documentary and this portion of his interview with dave brubeck — who passed in 2012 — is a reminder of how *recent* american history really is. start at :55 or so. youtu.be/stadqAHRroA?...

Today at my UU, the Revs answered questions about fascism. One of the Qs concerned whether we are doing enough. My Rev said “WIN ONE.” Whatever you can win against them is a win. If you think you can win something, however small, fight for it. And every win, no matter how small, must be celebrated,

My law firm is currently litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. This includes the Ohio case we filed on Friday night and the redistricting case challenging Texas' new congressional map. I am thankful for our clients willing to wage these fights. They, not the lawyers, are the heroes.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

3. Paint will not stop people from cutting through the wall which is what they're doing now. Mexico in response has painted a beautiful mural on their side of the wall. Trump is so easily foiled by Mexico's President Sheinbaum. She outdoes him everytime. www.borderreport.com/hot-topics/b...

It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion… … and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines. Infuriating.

It’s Sunday, so can I get an amen? 🙏🏽

Today I met with 20 great resident doctors at University of Chicago, Northwestern and University of Illinois hospitals. Very distressing. These young doctors have formed unions because of 80 hour work weeks, inadequate pay and stressful working conditions. They deserve better.

We could eliminate this problem by having many more doctors, if we just made it affordable to go to medical school. Many students with an interest in medicine don't become doctors because they don't want to spend decades working 80 hours a week to pay off a massive debt.

At 2:00 a.m., Texas Republicans passed their gerrymandered congressional map. At 8:00 a.m., with the support of the National Redistricting Foundation, my law firm sued. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Elon Musk's xAl is constructing one of the world's largest Al supercenters in one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods. This mirrors a long history of environmental racism where polluting industries and hazardous developments are placed in communities with the least political and financial power.” 🧵

Texas is a majority-minority state, yet Republicans drew maps that make white votes carry 2-3 times more political power than Black or Hispanic votes. That’s what gerrymandering does: it cracks and packs communities of color so their growing numbers translate into less representation.

"We are building a Ukraine that will have enough strength and power to live in security and peace," Zelenskyy said in a video address to the nation.
