Missouri Republicans are the simplest most brain-dead libertarians in the game. literal toddler understandings of how society and the world work.

Truly a fucking joke that Kehoe's trying to shove this through when Sam Brownback tried this in 2012. It failed so abysmally that it was repealed in 2017. Kansas lost hundreds of millions of dollars, obliterating infrastructure. It's one of the biggest KS government failures in the state's history.

no slop on Bandcamp, thank you Bandcamp

Someone inside DHS leaked the names of 4,500 ICE and CBP officers to a nonprofit that tracks ICE. About 80 percent of those name are active. www.rawstory.com/ice-agents-d...

“The alleged leak to ICE List, a self-styled ‘accountability initiative,’ is believed to be the largest ever breach of DHS staff data. It appears to include names, work emails, telephone numbers, roles, and some resumé data, including previous jobs of federal immigration staff.”

Please email your local library and politely complain about Libby's AI "Inspire Me" feature. Your local library worker will love this. Seriously. We had so many tools for collecting feedback.

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

once more with feeling

Hey so rivetgeek aka Wil has had me blocked for a bit, but he just added my friend, a trans woman, to a blocklist that he keeps specifically for "MAGA, transphobes, racists and fascists" because it responded to him with the same dismissive energy he gave them This is bullshit, report it and him

i know this isn't exactly mindblowing but i'm fucking mad that it's easier to become an ice agent than to get a us visa slate.com/news-and-pol...

Physical media is the investment you make once and own forever.

the Beastie Boys are helping me along this morning

I talked to @jasonfurman.bsky.social about the Trump admin's decision to launch a first-in-history criminal inquiry into Fed chair Jay Powell—and what happened in other countries when leaders compromised central bank independence. (Tl;dr it wasn't good!) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Newsom must never be president. He must never even get close.

REMINDER: The Trump administration was required by law to release all the Epstein files by Dec 19 and still has not released 99% of the files

BREAKING: Republicans are trying to abolish the estate tax, as part of a bill they call "Making the American Dream Affordable Again." The reality is this would let the super-rich transfer their wealth to the children, and cost the government $281 billion over the next decade.

when their time's up, Spencer and Green are both getting the boot. petulant children running the city government, the both of them.

Hey, somethings up at McCausland near Dale by the restaurant black unmarked fed vehicles. The guy went into oncoming traffic to get around me. They’re behind that Greek restaurant the block before Dale. #stl 7:51am

some good anti-ICE chants to find in history

really just... hit the ground running with the bad shit this year, huh.

Men, PLEASE take care of your physical health. I know gender norm bullshit says you don't go to the doctor unless it hurts bad, you can put stuff off, etc., etc. Putting off your health only makes your health worse. Don't end up with a brain tumor because going to the doctor "doesn't feel manly".

ICE has a new tool to use location data from data brokers to identify the movements of protestors. Please remove your phone's Advertising ID and disable always-on location access forapps that sell your data (most of them). Instructions for Android and iOS from the EFF: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Everyone has said it but I’m going to say it, too: this is how an abuser thinks and talks.

If you can understand why you wouldn't trust a compulsive liar to give you the truth, you can understand one of the many reasons why people hate genAI and GPTs. Stop playing born stupid yesterday.

It really is the perfect 21st century civil war. Schools shut down, everyone living in fear, secret police shaking down whole neighborhoods but commerce keeps on rolling, the economy somehow tops itself every day even though you're waving a gun around

The total capture of the DOJ, seemingly with very little pushback or resistance, is one of the most striking examples of the capitulation of American elites in the face of authoritarianism. It’s been less than a year, and federal prosecutions or investigations are already completely discredited.

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

“Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment related to his June congressional testimony on ongoing renovations of the Fed’s headquarters” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

In extraordinary message, Fed chair announces that he’s being extorted/coerced by the US government under color of law.

my friend is a postal worker in minneapolis and they all got letters at work today to show to police to prove they are essential workers authorized to be out. i guess we're to the "papers please" era now officially.

the way you know this guy is getting punished more than the literal murderer

He's promising they'll keep shooting if we keep protesting. He's telling us that to our faces. Get rid of this monster.

the reason there are going to be more incidents like this is that you’ve hired a bunch of murderers and told them they’ll be protected and celebrated if they shoot people

$3 thrift gold

if you think "lawful" and "moral" are synonymous, you are incapable of meeting the moment and should take your well-deserved seat in Shut The Fuck Up Land

they're acting this way because Trump has months to live at most, and the game's up when he dies

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Page 8 of the official Missouri Taxpayer guide explains what the income tax pays for and then says "Without taxes, there would essentially be no government." dor.mo.gov/forms/Taxpay...

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

You are doing the right thing. It sucks to be under siege but you are under siege. And you won't be free while these law enforcement agencies continue to exist.

why are we still being legally governed by a clearly sunsetting octogenarian
