this is so insane

Georgia will not resdistrict this month after House Republicans balk at the idea. Do not, however, discount the possibility for something after November. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

My first ever piece for @statecourtreport.org at @brennancenter.org!

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Last night, the Supreme Court ruled that the VRA cannot protect even against *intentionally* discriminatory voting policies When we say there is no federal statute remaining the enforce the 15th Amendment, this is what we mean

Imagine a channel where Arsenal fans could be watching this???

Hi @nytimes.com this is very wrong! All seven congressional districts in Alabama held primaries tonight - including a highly contested Republican primary in CD1. We'll have new primaries on August 11 only if the courts side with the state - still a big TBD!

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

This is depressing and shameful but I want to highlight @raskin.house.gov's dissenting vote in Committee. He gets it, and I'm glad he put in the time to fully assess this bill and put this on the record. His full dissent is here, at the bottom: www.congress.gov/committee-re...

Words fail me; Alabama Senate is meeting as the building is being vacated.

Possible tornadoes and a flood, but they’re still voting to nullify Black representation. It’s a tidy encapsulation of the history of southern racial politics: whites in power caring more about repressing Black people than about their own lives and welfare.

Just a reminder that in Shelby County, Roberts told us not to worry about the loss of VRA preclearance, because we’d still have VRA sec. 2 suits. That was, of course, disingenuous nonsense even at the time. Now, with Brnovich and Calllais, it’s all the more so.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

New: cops used Flock AI-enabled cameras to monitor No Kings protests around the country. Also monitored No Hands protests and protests against DOGE. "Should serve as a warning of how it may be used in the future to suppress dissent." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...

"President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement crackdown has hit a disgusting new low, after federal agents reportedly pepper-sprayed a 1-year-old in Chicago and then lied about it."

Inspired by @prisonculture.bsky.social, we made a handout for trick or treating tomorrow with local resources for food assistance and places to donate!

Listen I’m always glad when I discover there’s still people managing to live without being Too Online but MA’AM Freida you gotta be careful with the hearts of a nation

Alabama is scheduled to execute Geoffrey West today for the 1997 murder of Margaret Parrish Berry. Berry's son, Will, opposes West's execution and has expressed a desire to meet him (which the state has denied). In this commentary, Will Berry explains why.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

There’s a lot of nonprofit media out there doing the work. Like (cough) @statesnewsroom.com but also @propublica.org, @insideclimatenews.org, @19thnews.org, @mississippifreepress.org, lots of local organizations, independent journos, etc. Reader-supported journalism is thriving.

Hey, it's me, clever white liberal man, here to give you real talk: [insert standard conservative talking point for decades not backed by actual data] Check out my podcast for more brilliant insights like this. ✌️

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

This isn't abstract. Ending vaccine mandates will kill children. Any one who is trying to do this should be removed from office immediately.

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

Breaking via @annabjournalist.bsky.social: A federal judge ruled Friday that Alabama’s current state Senate district map violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and said an additional majority or near-majority Black district would need to be drawn in Montgomery.

NEW: I spoke with a woman named Andrea about her experience being detained by ICE after calling the cops for help during a domestic violence incident. She was recently postpartum, breastfeeding & put in an all-male facility. She was detained for 2.5 months.

This is the organization Theo gf which I give to help those suffering in Gaza — they do good work. Support them if you can

Oh, just thinking of all the brothers from inner cities who put their bodies on the line for this ghoul.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

We feed you. They hunt us.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

ICE raids Poconos pizza shop. "It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy." www.wnep.com/article/news...

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

IMPORTANT: Nationwide ban on Medicaid covering gender affirming care is in the House bill.

👏 Hoover High School graduate Rotimi Kukoyi has been selected as one of 54 college students named a 2025 Harry S. Truman Scholar, which for almost 50 years has recognized college juniors who demonstrate exceptional leadership potential and commitment to careers in public service.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

I cannot tell if time is passing because Rihanna is always pregnant.

The PBS Kids app is one of the few things you can trust your kids to play around with on a computer. All the shows that you can stream are good and entertaining. Nothing positive comes from getting rid of this, they're just trying to make life worse for everyone www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

because alabama prisons aren't bad enough???? www.al.com/politics/202...

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

For my fellow weenies: SINNERS is intense and violent but NOT the kind of horror movie I tend to regret seeing. ENDORSE

the word 'deported' is being pretty commonly misused
