“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich {happily} use public transportation {together with people of all walks of life}.”

↳ You did something right as mayor of a local government, when the president of your country embraces your key idea

With One Damning Question, Ketanji Brown Jackson Defined the Supreme Court’s New Term The justice stripped the veneer of constitutional principle from the court’s latest blatant culture war.

The corrupt and extremist Republicans on the Supreme Court are looking for a way to harm LGBTQ+ children, and they'll do anything so they can rule the way they want.

Pam Bondi accepted a bribe from Trump and dropped his case. She's proven she's corrupt; she'll never be anything but.

Democrats shouldn't do anything to help the Republicans. Republicans are fine with the destruction of our nation. Don't help them find the money to do it.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Republican America: "border agents segregated arrested residents by race"

The people that swore an oath to protect us are not.

National guard leadership showed us whose side they chose and it’s not democracy or we the people.

Hope you understand that now that boots are on the ground in Chicago it’s going to accelerate again much more brutally.

Republican thuggery.

Republican thuggery.

Literally the only legit reason to bring in another state's NG over a state's objection is if the receiving state's NG is already fully called up and insufficient to the task.

Republican thugs attacking people for exercising their freedom of speech.

Another Carr Wreck How the current FCC chairman is ignoring the truth about free speech

Last week Trump lackey Brendan Carr, went into full damage control before a panel of disbelieving journalists.

But no amount of dodging and dishonesty could save Carr from the truth, or salvage his reputation as Trump's go-to censor at the FCC.

@mattfieldwood.bsky.social has the receipts:

"Good guy with a gun"

Terrible. Let's protect the rights of every American.

Spanberger Leads Earle-Sears by 10 Points in the Race for Governor Hashmi Leads Reid by 9 points in Lt. Governor Contest; Jones Leads Miyares by 6 Points in Attorney General Race

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

As soon as possible.

Low speeds save lives; asking for higher speeds is a pro-death position, especially for your children and elderly family.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

I don't wish him well, but I do wish for the actual rule of law and a fair justice system.

How far “off the charts” is September 2025? Sea surface temps are in this area of the North Pacific. >1.6C or ~3F above normal on average over this huge area.
I’d say even more alarming than the actual anomaly is the trend since 2010. In 15 years the anomaly jumped more than 2F! 3/

The North Pacific heatwave these past few months has been astonishing. Take a look at the bottom of this image. It’s “accumulated heat stress” from NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch program. Basically the whole north basin registers Alert Level 5, dark purple. 1/

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Stephen Miller should be tried first.

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Republicans thugs lie because all Republicans lie.
