"I think responses [that ask only for the Administration to 'explain itself'] are pathetic. This isn’t a mystery that needs to be solved. This is not the case of the missing casus belli."

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

Just a reminder that the UC system was not a party in this litigation. Faculty, staff and the @aaup.org fought on their own. UCLA, and the entire UC system, should be ashamed of themselves, and their leaders should be reminded of their submissives every day.

There is no reforming this. There is only abolition, and then trials.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

Congratulations! Happy to see you receive such well deserved recognition.

Moderna says FDA refuses its application for new mRNA flu vaccine The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with mRNA technology.

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

Big ol’ binder of notes with laptop in front for scale

Big ol’ binder of notes with laptop in front for scale

Here is said phonebook of notes with laptop for scale.

Sigh

There are so many gullible reporters (aka stenographers) who have no expertise in the longstanding antics of the anti-vaccine lobby

Such reporters haven’t learned about Wakefield & the kooky unsubstantiated trope that vaccine *combinations* cause autism

Such reporters need a different beat

Join The 51st The 51st is a worker-led nonprofit news source for D.C. Our reporting is rooted in our conviction that local journalism is meant to make people’s lives better — no paywalls, ever. But that's only…

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Don't agree with Cato Inst on much. But:

Very glad they have quantified what has been obvious for years.

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

Jesus. No matter bad I think ICE and CBP are, reality keeps showing me they‘re worse. Truly evil stuff.

Some troubling signs regarding plans for the 2026 census test from the fantastic @datageekb.bsky.social #episky #statssky #databs

This sounds like Hal Morgenstern? I still have my phone book size notes from the class I took with him after he came to Michigan.

We extremely know how to do this. Governor Walz instituted an eviction moratorium in 2020 which withstood repeated legal challenges in state and federal court. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, write some new predicate findings, and we're good to go.

SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN THEN!!!!

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

I guess we're just arresting journalists now.

require warrants in SOME cases? The Fourth Amendment requires warrants IN ALL CASES! why is it asking too much for Democrats to stand by the U.S. Constitution

The only acceptable number of children for any government to kidnap and traffic and cage is zero, every year

I dunno, it seems like, in a situation where there are two parties and one party has explicitly abandoned the basic founding principles of the country and the other party is furiously polling whether it's worth supporting those principles, you've basically already lost the principles.

“They're acting under the stay as though they have a license to use the building, to use money, to treat the building any way they want,” says George Foote, counsel for former USIP leadership and staff. “A stay is not permission for the loser of a case to hijack the property of the winning party.”

The only Democratic statements I want to hear about the Trump gestapo are like this, from the awesome Philly DA Larry Krasner. No less truth, no less fire.
