Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, issues a 17-page dissent to the 4-page order: "[J]ust as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos."

Breaking news: SCOTUS intervenes in Alabama redistricting case & says GOP *is* allowed to change Alabama map. Despite a lower-court finding evidence of intentional discrimination. Yet another SCOTUS gift to the GOP; eliminates seat of a Black member of Congress www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Gotta say sometimes I get sick of the whole did you know lynchings are ok if you’re afraid of a kid who’s running away thing

This is also an indication of the dwindling number of loyalists willing to bend the knee. These are two more-than-full-time jobs, in completely different areas (one of which Pulte has inarguably no qualifications). Like we're seeing with DOJ, he's running out of people willing to corrupt themselves.

The US military is being run by a gutter racist whose obsession with what he calls merit belies his own total lack of competence or qualifications

holy shit nobody has ever answered a question worse

The top secret lock solid meeting about nobody sharing internal info has concluded everyone. it was good, my source said every thing is good now because everything will be a secret, except that of course.

I think about this a lot.

What we’re seeing is “respectable” conservatives openly moving to the position that the *only* acceptable form of Christianity is one rooted in white Christian nationalism.

Courage IS contagious!

Grateful for Bo’s reporting on Trump’s false claims about 2020, which are key to Trump’s 2026 election plan. My quote: “He’s not looking back; this is about the midterms.” To make people believe his interference in the election is justified, and then deny the results when his allies still lose.

its incredible that after all of this shit there are still people that can treat it like it's fucking gossip girl or whatever

A San Antonio library created a “Read Like Wemby” campaign to highlight the NBA star’s love for reading. The goal is to inspire people of all ages, especially children, to read more. More from @mirinfader.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/730...

Abrego García should apply for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” How many other people have a district court ruling actually *finding* vindictive prosecution?

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

The key to writing about Zohran in the mainstream press is that the entire article has to be written with the implication that he is doing something sinister and foolish even without really saying what he did wrong or why people should be mad about it

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

The NAACP, taking a page from @joelanderson.bsky.social, is calling for Black athletes (and fans) to transfer from and withhold support for programs in states actively trying to remove Black political representation: naacp.org/articles/naa...

UPDATE: Three adult men at the Islamic Society of San Diego have been killed during the active shooting, said San Diego Police Department Chief Scott Wahl during a press conference now. Two shooters confirmed dead. No motive yet. "We are considering this a hate crime until it is not," Wahl said.

Note: The pastor who runs services attended by Pete Hegseth, who spoke (via video) at this event, self-identifies as a Christian nationalist. So, too, did former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...
