Its sad that brains and work ethic don’t matter anymore

Conservative DEI: "amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look." bsky.app/profile/jame...

Has anyone calculated the chance of a J6er being convicted of sex crimes vs the general population? It's gotta be like 10,000% higher

For the last 2 decades, Silicon Valley has mainly been about 1) imposing middlemen, to grab profits that previously paid living wages to working people (example: Uber v. taxicabs), and 2) privatizing profits while socializing costs (example: data centers drive up water & electric bills.)

We had a near-decade where borrowing for actual capital improvements was legitimately a no-brainer and pretty much everyone pissed it away at every level and we will probably never have that again in our lifetimes.

IMPORTANT: Under federal law, it's very hard, at times near-impossible, to sue federal law enforcement officers for civil rights violations. But legal theorists have said for decades that there is a possible way to sue under state law instead. This is a VERY big test case.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

I have seen so many young ppl at #NoKings

This is amazing... Dr Ioannidis (9 April 2020): "I would say that COVID-19 will result in fewer than 40,000 deaths this season in the USA." Dr Howard: "The USA reached 40,000 COVID deaths the next week."

Simply incredible

The excerpt in this post is from my 2022 coverage of the Oath Keepers trial, which you can read here: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/oath... bsky.app/profile/anna...

Medicaid covers nearly 1 in 2 births in America. Cutting it doesn’t just take away coverage, it makes pregnancy more dangerous for millions of women. That’s not policy. That’s putting lives at risk.

Uncanny resemblance

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Stretch. DAILY Mobility and fascia release is not just physical. It lowers cortisol retention in the body which lowers stress and in turn aids in somatic releasing of trauma and bringing you peace

Israel is using Caterpillar D9 bulldozers to destroy homes in Lebanon and Palestine right now. Our tax dollars pay for all of it. The Senate will vote this week to block Trump’s $295 million giveaway of these bulldozers to Israel. Call your senators now: imeupolicy.org/noweapons

50 Winston-Salem Black Panther Party members travelled to the Beaufort County Courthouse in April 1975, rallying to free Joan Little. Ms. Little escaped the Beaufort County jail in 1974 after killing White prison guard Clarence Alligood, who was sexually assaulting her.

So her husband’s son called ice? After trying to force her out of her house didn’t work?

But it doesn't anymore, in part because the underlying discursive framework has totally flipped. It used to be that you demonstrated your liberal bona fides by being reflexively pro-Israel, and now you demonstrate them by being anti-Israel. This is the natural outcome of Israel being illiberal.

Nope. Nope. Nope. This post is just two false statements.

this is a massive, unprecedented hijacking of taxpayer money in all sorts of illegal and problematic ways, but it's generally not been of much interest to the broader press, because detailed analysis of infrastructure policy JUST DON'T GET THEM SWEET AD ENGAGEMENT HITS

they're also redirecting billions in taxpayer money earmarked for affordable fiber networks to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos for congested, expensive satellite broadband service both men were already planning to deploy anyway Wrote about it at the Institute for Local Self Reliance:

Me reporting on Judge Boasberg investigating criminal contempt in 2028

Boasberg again runs into a Trump-majority DC Circuit panel that moves to block him from investigating possible contempt of court around the CECOT deportations. A majority of the DC Circuit previously suggested that contempt likely occurred, so this case is not remotely over yet.

Unbelievable stuff from the Washington Post on behalf of Jeff Bezos today.

This past Saturday marked the start of Black Maternal Health Week, a week for raising awareness around the issues Black women and pregnant people face—from elevated maternal mortality to denials of care and more. Here is some of our reporting on these issues:

Most people are still employed but also most people know somebody who has been struggling to find a job for over a year and is having it really rough. hiring is broken, is why. bsky.app/profile/goli...

It’s hard to process the scale of that building.

No Democrat should even be considering voting for the reauthorization of unaccountable spying powers for Trump. prospect.org/2026/04/13/c...

The top answer to ‘what can Democrats even do’ is ‘stop materially and ideologically supporting Trump’s project.’

Once my city digs up all the roads, they'll see just how "mobile" we actually are.
