Doubling down

Bigotry is so brain melting that some Tennessee rescue won't let a friend of friend adopt a dog because she lives within 20 miles of Dearborn.

If you had proposed this to a film producer as a modern upgrade to Idiocracy, you would get thrown out, blacklisted, and probably dragged out into the alley by security and beaten with golf clubs.

Jesus.

Riley, you don't make enough money for Republicans to pretend to give a shit about your family.

Current cancer patient here. Despite having a best-case type and stage of cancer, I only managed to schedule 6 hours of work last week and 10 hours the week before. The only reason to make a rule like this is to kick sick people off Medicaid

"Nuclear family" as a term originated in the *Checks Notes* 1950's, and God didn't have anything to do with it.

View of a Labour frontbencher, shared with me: "There's not enough room for everyone on the boat". Not sure history endorses that as being a great strategy for dealing with the Far Right.

Among the other atrocities at Delaney Hall last night, state police in riot gear attacked and arrested an elderly man playing a cello through the tear gas and mounted police assault. Well done, Mikie Sherrill. He was so dangerous.

I'd say at least part of the scandal is: if he can't be honest with his own wife, why should we expect him to be honest with anything he claims he'll do in the senate?

Expecting someone else to clean up your mess (by telling lies that could torch their own credibility) is bad enough. But actually threatening them if they don't agree to help you is so much worse. It betrays an inner lack of a code and an inability to confront problems like an adult.

Katz seems like a total scumbag. It's the misplaced allocation of responsibility that really gets me here. The candidate did a bad thing. It's HIS responsibility to address it, not the responsibility of SOMEONE ELSE to cover for it by lying to the press. Enormous red flag for Katz AND Platner.

It's going to take more than a vision of the things we want the future to look like if we're going to rebuild S&T policy in the rubble of today. We're going to need architecture to do it. Huge thanks to @techpolicypress.bsky.social and @justinhendrix.bsky.social for running the piece.

A win! A federal judge in Washington ruled that protesters near the Capitol cannot be forced to remove flags displaying “8647,” finding no evidence the message constitutes a true threat against Trump.

#OtD 30 May 1937 the Memorial Day massacre occurred when Chicago police opened fire on a peaceful march of striking steel workers and their families. The police murdered 10, shot, beat and hospitalised many others. No police were prosecuted stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1031...

A thing about Chicago is that it has an obscenely, impossibly bloody history. Every six months or so during the early-to-mid 20th century something happened that you can’t quite believe, and it’s usually the cops’ fault.

Kennedy Family Has Heartwarming Reaction To Trump Name Removal From Kennedy Center #HuffingtonPost

1/ A long-ish thread 🧵on the vital difference between power & agency in #climate action. A new paper proposes: locate your agency, pull your levers. Useful, but it leaves out power, & so leaves out strategy.

Moscow cannot be allowed to breach European airspace with impunity. EU Foreign Ministers yesterday vowed to ramp up pressure on Russia, increase support for Ukraine, and invest in Europe’s own defence readiness. (2/2)

The Russian drone crash into apartments in Galați was a blatant and serious violation of Romania’s sovereignty and European airspace. I spoke with Foreign Minister Oana Țoiu this morning to convey the EU’s full solidarity with Romania. Russia has long ago stopped respecting borders. (1/2)
