[AP reports: “The United States under the Biden and Trump administrations has provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance to Israel since the start of the Gaza war two y …

Broadly, it still seems to me that Republicans tend to disenfranchise voters. Democrats tend to disenfranchise candidates. It is still all fucked up. Neither argue for actual democracy and pluralism, as party policy at least.

Listening to SCOTUS arguments, and to Paul Clement admit Republicans have a hard time finding voters who want to join Republicans in court to have standing to support Republican complaints about (what in my mind amounts to) voter enfranchisement.

And thanks!

I see & all good - I appreciate you're (mostly, at least) a one-man band and juggling a lot!

Lots of 500/internal server errors trying to post, at least with images attached from iOS and macOS clients — and now also without any attachments directly from the micro.blog web interface...

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

This is nonsense. FPF's Caitlin Vogus explained why earlier this year in the @sltrib.com.

If Sen. Ron Johnson doesn't want to subsidize health insurance companies, he should support single-payer healthcare.

Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire - Wikipedia

I am constantly reminded of @kurtandersen.bsky.social's "Fantasyland," I found it a quick read some time ago and a decent shorthand for context... not to dismiss the ramping-up crazy of the present, but it sure didn't come from nowhere. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy...

I cringe as I wrangle profiles in many hiring portals and job application processes, all of them broken one way or another and making my control over personal data aspirational at best. I've got to imagine this could be an application for @timbernerslee.bsky.social’s solid protocol.

I miss the macOS UI feedback for brightness and volume changes being overlayed in the middle of the screen. I'm focused on something, I want to change volume or brightness, and I hit the keys... and now there's this annoying smaller thing off in a corner that might be telling me something.

It’s always good news when the boss schedules a senior leadership meeting on short notice with no agenda.

The designers did Trump a favor and seem to have fixed his tie. Or perhaps in the story they imagine Jeffrey did it for him.

I really don’t think I have too many more “Antifa isn’t an organization, it’s literally a nickname for antifascism” and “anarchism isn’t about chaos actually” essays in me, I used most of ‘em up back in 2017

I suppose if she's really into the Rapture she's not worried about making an FTC disclosure for her influencer kickback from Hanes and Victoria's Secret.

Oh, Canada!

This one’s for all our Antifa ancestors 🇺🇸

I am Antifa.

I'm ANTIFA.

Americans are supposed to be.

The seasons change, but I am always anti-fascist.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

I am not so naive, but one did hope that “if he can’t see it, it isn’t happening” would be limited to Trump’s tiny geographic orbit in DC and what he saw through the warping windows of The Beast. But no, whether its climate, people, labor numbers, or hunger, there will be no official seeing-of-it.

The two often go hand in hand when economic times get tough.

Fascism is what capitalism becomes when times get very tough.

@britishboyindc.bsky.social Whenever I see or hear James Vowles, my brain's first reaction is "oh, that's not Peter..."

It’s grift all the way down for these clowns.
