Senate Democrats who are angry about Trump's dictatorial takeover of D.C. law enforcement can flex their opposition by voting AGAINST three pending Senate bills that would repeal laws enacted by D.C.'s elected representatives.

Yeah, the way S1 ended/S2 started was particularly rough, so I had limited patience going in. I made it 3-4 episodes before giving up on the show.

There just isn't a set of laws that will hold if the president, the majority in both houses of Congress, and six votes on the supreme court want the president to be a dictator

If you're National Guard or any other service member being deployed against people in the US and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status or have any other concerns whatsoever, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options:

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein absolutely slaps…. not sure what the next book I would recommend chronologically would be though. Maybe Hitchhiker’s Guide. A lot of golden era scifi is incredibly dry.

Deploying the military and militarized federal police into the streets of American cities is unjustified and a profound threat to our civil liberties. It is another very dangerous, major step into authoritarianism. And make no mistake authoritarianism is not where we’re headed, it’s where we are.

I mean, he got a fuckload of stock

How will Trump’s attacks affect higher education?

Let’s look to history

Germany's universities were the world's premier research institutions

Hitler destroyed them

How long did they take to recover?

They haven’t

All we need is one reporter to ask the president about the rumors that the Cabinet is discussing invoking the 25th Amendment

TRUMP, JD VANCE HAD A 25TH AMENDMENT MEETING ABOUT YOU.

A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

Okay. Playing Death Stranding. This game is very pretty and Kojima is a massive weirdo (complementary). More as it develops.

You should maintain speed to change lanes. Speeding up also works. Slowing down is pretty bad unless there are no other cars.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

fucking hysterical to hear the 'poor little genAI industry' crying about being bullied with "copyright law" as if it's some novel, untested area of jurisprudence.

If you don't want to be sued by 7 million people don't steal from 7 million people, that's a pretty simple legal concept

YouTube video by Grupo REFORMA Spot antimigrante de EU se cuela a TV mexicana

Imagine chilling in your home country sitting down to have lunch with a YouTube video playing in the background and suddenly some plastic faced homunculi of a Hitlerian doll pops up to call you a wetback

That’s been the experience here for a while now

He was killed by the IDF while waiting for humanitarian aid.

Another horrific series of press rights abuses tonight at hands of LAPD.

Initial reports are 4 journalists injured (several bleeding), 3 cameras broken, 5 put in zip ties.

All in defiance of state law, a judge's order, and chief's signed order.

LAPD can't police itself. Maybe the judge will.

Perhaps I’ll give it another go. I wanted to like Foundation more than I did. A few too many coincidences and conveniences. (the Empire stuff always delivered though)

Is this a Season 3 thing? I had mixed feelings about Season 1 and gave up on Season 2.

Minnesota mother remains in ICE custody despite judge's release order Antonia Aguilar Maldonado’s attorneys say she is being held at the Kandiyohi County Jail in Willmar, despite having no criminal record, an active asylum case, and a bond approved by an immigration jud...

Antonia Aguilar Maldonado, a 25-year-old Salvadoran woman, remains in ICE detention in Minnesota more than two weeks after she was arrested by federal agents in St. Paul while on her way to work.

Owning a home is like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie but every time the mouse wants something new it costs you $20,000.

Just a few billion more. Promise.

If you live in/represent a Blue State, want to gerrymander the FUCK out of your state, support and are willing to fight for a national anti-gerrymandering law you are principled, consistent and doing exactly the right thing.

Trump is very enthusiastic about these numbers, which are great numbers, the best kind of numbers, all under 18.

I want to do a 🧵 about the Sidney Sweeney thing, because it's *extremely* revealing & educational.

First, to be clear: I could not give less of a shit about the details -- the ad, the rhetoric, the jeans, her boobs, whatever. Good lord, who cares.

Let's look at the *structure* of the episode.

This is plainly gross and horrifying, but it's also just good business. You can buy the most powerful man in the world for like $5,000. Why wouldn't you? When you remove ethics and your own moral compass from the equation, decision making gets incredibly simple.

This was my take as well. Apple is a $3 trillion company. If some stupid trophy appeases great leader and keeps the DOJ out of the hiring process, that's a great investment. It's not like it contributes anything material to the fascist cause.

What Are My Rights During an ICE Raid? Immigration law can be tricky, but here's what you should know.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️
