Our latest Posterity is holding its breath

289 years ago a grand jury in So Carolina refused to indict printer for insulting governor. To do so would “be destructive of LIBERTY OF THE PRESS, a Privilege We enjoy, and has been Justified by our Ancestors, and we hope will be preserved to our latest Posterity.” 🗃️ substack.com/@radicalprin...

Some day people, some day

Remember when Republicans styled themselves as the party of limited government? Anyway. Fresh off their success in securing investigations of teenage girls' genitals for JV volleyball hames, they're now looking to make visiting women submit to pregnancy tests or, you know, maybe sterilization.

New rule: if it’s hot enough that we are asked to turn our AC temperature way up then it’s hot enough data centers get turned off

Elon Musk grew Space X with massive taxpayer-funded government subsidies and US government contracts—he relied on significant American taxpayer support to scale up Space X. He didn’t earn this.

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

DC Arch public comments are now open. As much as many of us would like to simply submit “FDT,” comments are far more likely to be considered if they raise specific concerns about the project. Federal agencies are only required to consider substantive comments,

“Illegal! You cannot intimidate voters. You’re in a polling place. Get the fuck out of here!” Trump’s ICE goons intimidating voters in California…

Happy Felonversary, y’all!

"Americans should not have to wonder whether ICE enforcement priorities are being driven by the financial interests of politically connected detention contractors. Your career can be characterized as a continuous trip in and out of the revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry.”

I took this video right before ICE pepper sprayed the crowd at Delaney Hall, including Senator Andy Kim. ICE was dressed like they're going to war, with weapons and an armored vehicle. That's because we are the enemy to them. We just keep standing up to this repression. @north.dsanj.org

Journalist Solomon Crenshaw Jr. is covering the voting rights events in Selma and Montgomery today for The Handbasket. Here’s a great shot from this morning:

This is just one dramatic image from a fascinating thread,

Stories about pardons are often about presidential power. But what about people on the other side of that grace? The Coulson family may never receive millions from a wrongful death lawsuit it won years ago.

Maybe we had elves over here but we bulldozed their habitat

Black folks, particularly women, really seem to frighten tRump so he lashes out at them

BREAKING: Activists have shut down multiple intersections throughout downtown Washington DC in opposition to Trump's attacks on workers, DC Home Rule, climate, and international peace. The actions kick off #MayDay events across the country.

Republicans: “The debt is stealing money from our kids!” Also Republicans: “Let’s spend $400,000,000 on a ballroom and $1.5 Trillion on the military and let Trump win a $10 Billion lawsuit to pocket billions just for funsies”

COACH SULLY: “Shift your eyes to this monstrosity… one year. One President. Donating his salary is just a headline. It doesn’t offset the BILLIONS Trump is accumulating elsewhere.” 💰

The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane. (Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden) popular.info/p/the-media-...

EXTRA! EXTRA! The Second Continental Congress declared independence, but then had no plan to spread its Declaration. @emilysneff.bsky.social traces how the Declaration of Independence spread through printers, pulpits, and treaty councils in 1776. #America250 #Revolution250
