Hey @MarshaBlackburn is it the lyrics @timmiller.bsky.social told @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social about? Or is it the βgrass on the field play ballβ line about 14yo Olsen Twins that has you most excited about Kid Rock and the TP USA halftime show?

βBlackβ is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said βBlack.β
Racial authoritarianism is here, itβs just unequally distributed.

βIs Tulsi Gabbard the Most Shameless, Desperate Member of the Trump Cabinet?β
The ex-Dem congresswoman turned DNI is willing to U-turn on the 2020 election and war with Venezuela and Iran just to appease her boss and keep her job.
My latest for Zeteo:
Breaking News: Nithya Raman, a rising star among West Coast progressives and a Los Angeles City Council member, said she will run for mayor. Her announcement presents a significant challenge to the incumbent, Mayor Karen Bass.

I don't want to hear a conservative talk about the "rule of law" ever again.

She pivots to talking about grocery prices during Trump's ongoing attempts at turning this country fascist. She's not good.
Bad news for anyone who watches the NFL: The Trump administration just approved a massive consolidation of sports streaming.
It's a big mistake that will mean higher costs, and fewer choices to watch games.
Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.
We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...
ICE is running a βconveyor beltβ of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.
Note from the editors: ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement. The policy of shielding officersβ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

That was long ago established. Only the crooked and corrupt people protecting each other act as though it's a mystery.
Senators Warren & Wyden demand answers as Trump attempts to take $10B from taxpayers in IRS lawsuit.
Senators raise alarm as Bessent & Bondi may be coordinating w/Trump on lawsuit to hand him taxpayer funded settlement & question if theyβll defend taxpayers in court or cave to Trump demands.
