Oh look the prolific author version of the false and stupid “people didn’t know it was wrong back then” argument! 1. The enslaved knew it was barbaric the whole time. 2. Many witnesses knew it was barbaric the whole time. 3. Many enslavers told on themselves the whole time. Thx bye

The problem with "Well, we just need people with real values to run! And explain what they believe to the voters!" is thousands of people do that every year. And most of them lose!

someone who actually ran for office & saw the sausage get made up close & personal: So here's some on-the-ground truth about what's going on with our politics. people: HOW DARE YOU THAT'S SO MEAN people: Anyway, how come politicians keep lying all the time?

The right-wing attack on birthright citizenship is not just about birthright citizenship itself. As MAGA’s reaction to the Supreme Court ruling proves, it is part of their opposition to a broader ideal, that “All men are created equal.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Hey anyone know a lawyer for a trans adult in legal trouble in Cook County? It's a friend's foster kid and their resources are very limited.

Google now has to pay a a record $4.7 billion fine in Europe. In 2018 the EU slapped the tech giant with this major fine because of Google’s abuse of their monopoly powers. Google fought the fine, but Europe’s highest court ruled that they must pay, and there is no more ability to appeal.

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Those alt gov accounts that arose after 2016 are grifters. One of the top posts yesterday was @altnoaa.bsky.social posting an AI image of a beluga whale "escaping captivity to reunite with her baby." In response to being told it was AI, the poster said AI is good, actually, for evoking emotions.
