To slightly adapt Orwell: The Supreme Court told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was its final, most essential command.

so far, much of the analysis of Callais out there is focused on what the Court's rulings did to the Voting Rights Act, which is reasonable but now I want to talk about what the Court did to the Constitution bc the threat of Callais goes far beyond the VRA alone ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

🚊 Since Norfolk Southern's train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, and EPA concealed public health risks, we've fought for accountability. We've utilized FOIA requests, lawsuits (challenging FEMA, EPA, CDC), and crucially, whistleblower disclosures to demand justice.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

The second point cannot be emphasized enough. Guiliani put the command center in WTC against the advice of experts, and as a result of his horny incompetence, the city's command center was obliterated in the worst terrorist attack on NYC and its response suffered. But he got good photos so...

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

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.

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.

we all have our vices and i'm a hypocrite for judging them like this but "bringing back smoking" is an idea periodically floated by the dumbest people alive whose only real belief is edgelordism. i am totally unwilling to hedge on or reconsider this opinion

🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

There is no equivalent on the Democratic side for the pure, undiluted nihilism coming from the federal government right now. We basically have one party of technocrats and one party of Branch Davidians.

1. This is big. It was clear before that SPLC was collecting intelligence on the “Unite the Right” rally in 2017 because of the threat of violence. Now, a new filing from SPLC cites an “Event Alert” the group provided directly to the FBI. This alert undermines the DOJ’s corrupt case.

Gotta build that fancy ballroom folks

I stand behind my comments

Sweet Jesus. This wave coming at the same time the tech bros are looking for massive sites for data centers is not going to end well.

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

Hahahah good stuff guys but I don’t think you needed to put “at the WHCD” so much since that’s the place you will already be also good for you for being able to smile as you assist in dragging every American down into the stupidest possible version of fascism, it can’t be easy to watch

NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.” “I believe there are many more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority.”

It's harder to measure but I feel like RFK Jnr shutting down funding for MRNA research is actually up there with DOGE cuts and this latest Iranian war as a contender for Most Evil Things Trump II has done. Accounted properly, this regime is really wracking up 20th-century-dictator kill counts imo.
