Countries where it’s illegal to criticize the president: • Iran • China • Russia • North Korea • The United States

"This decision will jeopardize maps for congressional seats, state legislatures, city councils, school boards – every level at which communities of color have fought for true representation," writes @slakin.bsky.social.

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.

¡Buenos días ☀️, figuritas de chicle masticado!

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators. No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich. What a disaster.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The attack-the-academy movement was never, ever about freedom and diversity of thought in the academy. It was always going to play out this way. It’s never been “nobody should dictate thought,” it’s always been “WE should dictate thought.” www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

Morning friends. There are still those amongst us that need to wake up.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

This is a safety thread for all those people coming to the US for the soccer ball games. Especially if you have never been to the US before. 1) Do not trust white men. Ever.

He literally said *yesterday* that he was considering a “joint venture” to help Iran charge people for using the Strait. He said the day before that he didn’t care if they made a little money off of it. Someone give pawpaw his dementia meds.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

"Luddites" is a good term for those who oppose AI because the Luddites weren't against *all* technology, just forms of technology that they knew would pay workers less and turn out a shittier product

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Their plan is to wear you down until the average American treats everything like they do gun control, just another problem that will never be solved so why try?

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but to me, sharing a screenshot of chatbot output to make a point of some kind is an excellent way to undermine any credibility that might otherwise be granted to you in the context of whatever you're trying to say.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

Once again for the cheap seats: racism is a system of oppression and as much as you want them to be white people arent oppressed. White people calling out other white people isnt racist. Also--hit dogs and all that.

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

Pure godless evil.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse. Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs. Democrats had two years to fix this.

Federal and state law require officials to protect voter registration information. The DOJ seems to be ignoring this requirement in its quest to sweep up voter files nationwide. bit.ly/4rApQet

Idk who needs to hear this, but if your government requires your dead name or assigned gender at birth on your documents it has nothing to do with you detransitioning or who you are as a person. It doesn't change you, it just makes your government wrong.

Woot! Always grateful for what Tamara shares.

The new SAVE Act’s “show your papers” requirement is a direct attack on the freedom to vote. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

@lataco.bsky.social is raising money to launch a dedicated investigative news desk. If you've relied on their immigration coverage this year like I have, you know this is a worthy cause to support. givebutter.com/la-taco-inve...

A memo from the Trump admin has authorized the roundup, detention, interrogation, & deportation of thousands of refugees resettled in the U.S. 100,000+ people may be subject to this unprecedented and cruel policy. Our statement @yaelschacher.bsky.social www.refugeesinternational.org/statements-a...

This gives you a sense of scale of the Trump admin's new refugee detention policy; they are claiming that all 100,000 of these lawfully present refugees MUST be arrested and detained for "re-vetting" and interrogation about their status.

Trump now bringing the criminals he pardons to M-a-L to better network with them. But then, I guess he already did that with Roger Stone and Steve Bannon. Hell, Stone got him to pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
