I don't know what is going on with this popular repurposing of "restorative justice" to mean "no consequences for perpetrators" but hear me when I say, absolutely the fuck not

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

Somebody with an audience on political matters needs to talk about the gutting of the VRA as an effort to divide the black vote. Talk about it as a divide and conquer strategy by a radical Republican white power movement. If black Americans unite, they can impact this country for good.

Rigged government. They don’t want the people to decide elections. They just want tax cuts for the wealthy and weapons to Israel. Anything else seems to be in service to those two priorities.

Department Chair

whole states have stopped their election processes faster than the Biden administration was able to respond to an opinion that had already been leaked months earlier. i don't mean this as a random jab; republicans just understand power in a way that dems do not.

🚨 IMPORTANT: MINIATURE PACHYDERM MAKING LIL BABY ELEPHANT HONK🚨

My view is that the American South never fully took to liberal democracy. And I think we have to reckon with that to face the moment we’re now in. I wrote about it for @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/liberal-de...

Three incredible things from this story: 1) the first words are “A 3-year-old hunter” 2) the “mentor” was exempt from “hunter education certification” bc of their “military training.” 3) the adult shot in the turkey hunt was an off-duty law enforcement officer.

Not a legal scholar obviously but I imagine if the ninth district banned handgun sales, this Supreme Court wouldn’t be taking May Day weekend off.

Disengaged, disinhibited, disinterested & dismissive of just about every other human alive…

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

It’s patently obvious that by obliterating the Voting Rights Act the Supreme Court unduly restricted the electoral power of Black citizens But since SCOTUS allowed partisan gerrymandering, that also means millions of Americans-in each party-will be disenfranchised Just an unmitigated disaster

I hate my state

😕

“Since the start of his new presidency, Trump has privately asked multiple times about how to get his face up there on Mt. Rushmore, crowing to close allies how he is a more accomplished president than some of those faces on the memorial…” zeteo.com/p/donald-tru...

Oh.

Democrats need to accept that they're entering a new era of procedural Total War. This includes a big escalation in redistricting, but it's not limited to that. If Republicans don't like it, tough shit: They made this world, and they are the ones inflicting it on us. newrepublic.com/article/2098...

Fuck you @durbin.senate.gov Fuck you @coons.senate.gov Fuck you @whitehouse.senate.gov You should be ashamed of yourselves. How dare you advance a nominee for a lifetime appointment? You should be blocking this shit, not handing a court to unqualified malicious hacks for decades. What the fuck?

Absolutely unforgivable for any @democrats.senate.gov @judiciarydems.senate.gov to pull this shit. There shouldn't be a single Dem voting to advance or confirm ANY nominee for ANYTHING, but a fucking lifetime court? Are you kidding? You should be blocking this, not helping it. Fuck you.

Please I beg you to take a half hour & watch @elienyc.bsky.social explain the devastation that happened this week. & while you’re at it, read everything he writes. He explains it better than anyone out there.

hell of a framing, saying the Lakota are "occupying" the Black Hills

I would go to war for that fat lump

A 40+ year affordable airline that employs 17,000 people, bankrupt by Trump’s war of choice because they can’t afford the fuel to fly.

Wakefield’s fraudulent paper is one of the worst things to happen to humanity in the past 50 years. It is responsible for countless preventable deaths and ongoing disabilities. He and his supporters are monsters.

Orban was pretty load-bearing for the global right wing media ecosystem huh

OpenAI’s CFO has a backstory that radiates with evil www.wsj.com/business/ope...

I'm just glad the Constitution isn't alive to see this

America’s top prosecutor (promotion pending) said the Southern Poverty Law Center never shared intelligence it gathered from informants with law enforcement. Then the SPLC brought the receipts.  These folks would be so much more dangerous if they weren’t so bad at this.

I hate my state

Absolutely bonkers footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not ai, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ.

People should consider that a consensus around treating diversity as “bullshit” contributed to an environment in which the court is comfortable doing this politically. Maybe.

Naval blockades are acts of war.

What would I do if I was in Maine, Platner supporters ask? I'd vote Platner, like I voted Harris. Voting Harris didn't mean I was going to shut up about Gaza &her complicity. Voting Platner doesn't mean you don't have to pretend he's not the lying fash-winker he's proven himself to be.

Voting rights can't be protected until we end the MAGA stranglehold on the Supreme Court. There was nothing legally wrong with the Voting Rights Act. This wasn't about law. It's about power.

Today, Trump "will take a war that is already doubly illegal and turn it into a triply-illegal war. He will also make it clear, if it was not already, that he regards the law as no constraint on his use of the U.S. military’s lethal power." Read more here: www.justsecurity.org/137669/60-da...

Not a fucking clue

“Mr Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country,” said Borenstein while accepting the Oscar in March. “And what we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless, small, little acts of complicity.”

I'm sorry, but the dementia-ravaged president is insisting that no other president ever had to get a congressional declaration of war? What?

An “accessory.” Justice Marshall delivered it raw and real.

Rick Scott’s net worth is $515 million.

He's just so good at this.

Look at the baby!

The fact that he’s introducing a constitutional amendment is the plainest evidence we have that they know it’s the obvious fucking text of the 14th amendment and can’t be overturned except by amendment
