kevin no don’t do this

why have absurdly short sessions? serious states need professional legislators

they

but also that’s why there’s interagency bla bla

they keep running into the consequences of tearing down what they’ve been tearing down but i’m not even sure they’re noticing

Woah, Pahlavi is _still_ doing solemn Twitter proclamations.

It’s true that there’s been a long history of media blaming Palantir for bad things they didn’t actually do. The Intercept, in particular, had a history of it. But the ICE contract is a matter of public record.

They explicitly changed their own code of conduct to loosen even the unenforceable rules about what they allow themselves to do. Repeatedly. They know what they’re doing.

Noem out is sign that public opinion still matters and the administration is not just a force of nature that does whatever. It’s also not by itself a substantive improvement to anything. People are still being disappeared into pestilential prisons and multi day shackled deportation flights.

Woah.

Woah. Where's that chart from?

hegseth is a white supremacist, episode N:

not that having a majority of euro ancestry justifies describing a colony as merely an "offspring of western civ," but i looked up what countries were at the event, and would you know it, many of them have majorities of indigenous/mestizo, african and/or south asian people...

FWIW, I'm an atheist too; UUs are very broad church. Interesting to hear the Anglicans in Vancouver do it.

The particular things I know that are consistent about them here are the school board and at my church. I wanna say the city council does them too but I’m not actually sure now.

Ah yes the famous Writ of For Real.

we do land acknowledgments all the time tho? i mean here locally near sacramento

aww

No. It technically hasn’t been tested but nobody really worried about Cruz being born in Canada.

Maarten van Buren actually grew up speaking Dutch and everything. Roosevelt’s family was mostly Anglo, just the paternal line happens to go back to back to a Dutch guy.

1. She doesn't have a valid passport because she doesn't travel internationally due to age-related frailty.
2. It took a year to get a copy of her birth certificate from NY & the name doesn't exactly match her CDL due to a CA DMV typo.

How many others have similar stories?

No, he is running in the primary. We have no idea who will be the Democratic candidate. Almost certainly it's not him.

"The" Democrats? I thought we were talking about the governor of California?

singal
always singal

Did they tell you all this personally or do you have a link?

If Donald asks Zelensky for anti drone systems, he better wear a suit, ask nicely and say thank you.

yes

I think this is some of the disconnect between how trans people perceive Newsom vs the general public: it’s less that they don’t know what he’s said and done (though that does also happen), and more that they don’t know how to interpret it.

The thing is, as trans people we have over the years come to be pretty good at recognizing the early warning signs of transphobia in politicians, pundits and other public figures.

This reads like a Palantir ad. I don’t know who their anonymous sources are but it all sounds like more “evil genius” marketing, which is good for the company, because what they fear is not people thinking they’re immoral, but people thinking they have a high P/E ratio for a software consultant.
