I understand that this is facially apparent but I don’t think it really hits without repeating: the minute the rules changed, these states immediately turned to the *most racist* maps, the ones the courts had already said were *too racist*

someone sent me this screen shot from insta:

This is why Corporate Dems turn something like historic levels of inequality and life essential price gouging into a focus grouped word like “affordability.” Once the pain people are experiencing becomes a free floating, action free marketing word you can apply it to all kinds of sleazy stuff.

the most surreal thing about this era of open yelling about masculinity is that, if you grew up anything like I did, you were exposed to several sets of standards of masculinity and would be hard pressed to identify which of them the Paxtons and Millers of the world are living up to

Follow the money. The prison-industrial pipeline benefits when public safety dollars get rerouted from community care to law enforcement. This is a multimillion dollar transfer from something that works to a system that has spent decades failing the same people.

READ: A short story that's happening right now. Something deeply dangerous in SF. A waste of taxpayer dollars. A decision driven by greed. One that will undermine community health & safety. No one knows about it. Please read & share. There's still time to change how it ends.

Who do I know in Boston?

The Trump $1.776 billion slush fund is not mere corruption. Trump is giving his brownshirts money for recruiting, logistics, AR-15's and tactical gear. Nobody in the national media seems to be talking about this, or about how the Paycheck Protection Program played a central role in funding Jan 6

Incredible- Trump's $2 billion taxpayer-subsidized slush fund comes with a legal disclaimer that basically says "we are not responsible for any crimes committed with this money"

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

LA deserves this kind of leadership

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

They hacked Canvas during finals week. This is why the faculty need a secure ballroom.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

imagine being such a loathsome toad that you have to launder your inane, self-serving takes through a more racist version of Cruella DeVille, who happens to be your mother

TRUMP: IRAN WILL BE BLOWN IF THEY DON’T STOP

The Dolly Parton concerts that were postponed last year have now been cancelled. No speculation here, but wishing every good thing to this bodhisattva.

California has the worst fucking Democrats

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Rise and grind

LAPD out in riot gear and getting into formation to push into the May Day protest in front of city hall right now. About 100 pigs out here and back up already on the way.

The whole situation around Róisín Murphy makes me so sad.

Melania Trump has called for Conan O' Brien to be fired for a bit about wasps a few weeks back

The guy who installed mirrored floors in his home so he could look up women's skirts when they visit, and who flew on Epstein's plane multiple times, was fired because he was unwilling to sink to Hegseth's level.

I took admin law with Sunstein, and it was by far the most ideologically coercive classroom experience I had at Harvard.

this is one of the best memes of all time

Chirp chirp make way!

I'm watching the #CAGov debate, & all these answers on the gas tax are pitiful. Nobody came close to saying the reason gas prices in California are high: we have 100-year-old refineries routinely holding the state hostage, & branded gasoline is $1/gal higher than non-branded, which is theivery
