Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

A massive regressive national sales tax imposed upon every American by a president with no constitutional authority to impose a national sales tax. The reason why the founders gave this power to Congress is because this would never pass any Congress- even this one.

Opinion | Netanyahu Is Choosing to Starve Gaza

Netanyahu Is Choosing to Starve Gaza www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/o...

These idiots need to get a life.

All surviving former IDF Chiefs of Staff, Mossad directors, Shin Bet Chiefs and Police Commissioners have issued a joint statement warning Israel that Netanyahu is leading the nation to unprecedented defeat. (Restart Israel)

Look at what happens to male teacher salaries (blue line) v.s. female teacher salaries (red line) after collective bargaining laws expire.

The ADL's hypothetical scenario involving flyers critical of Israel's demolition program encapsulates many other issues that those who reviewed the material or completed a training raised. The scenario begins with a student leaving their dorm room to find a flyer taped to the door "warning that your residence hall will soon be demolished" "The rest of the flyer contains 'facts' about how many Palestinian homes have been demolished by the Israeli military to collectively punish and 'ethnically cleanse' Palestinians," the toolkit continues. The ADL is referring to the highly charged debate over Israel's mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank. The training material then offers the Israeli narrative around the demolitions, claiming they target "terrorists" and "deter others from terrorist action". *. Other homes were demolished because they were "built without proper permits", the ADL states. "While you may agree or disagree with these Israeli government actions, the charge that Israel has demolished these homes to 'ethnically cleanse' Palestinians is inaccurate and inflammatory," the ADL material states.

According to the Guardian, the ADL is now creating education materials for schools in which the civil rights organization justifies Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes in occupied Palestinian territory.

Trump And Miller Compel Colleges Not To Enroll International Students Trump officials are using rules, policies and agreements to compel and discourage U.S. universities from enrolling international students.

Wow. Had not realized that Columbia’s settlement with Trump admin included a commitment to decrease international student enrollment. In what way does this help “combat antisemitism,” which is supposedly the administration’s objective?

The past thirty years of mainstream pop-feminism have been entirely about sex-positivity and sexual availability to men being sold as empowering liberation.

This historical revisionism is absurd, flabbergasting, and is frankly going to make me scream a mountain into rubble.

Hamas has agreed to lay down weapons, release the hostages for a permanent ceasefire. Israel wants to go no further than 60 days so it can start bombing and killing with impunity after. They routinely kill during a CF. So, it’s a deadlock as far as I know.

These people were at the wheel for eight years and rather than realizing what they were dealing with, they plastered that smug look on their faces, told us all we were crazy, and insisted that “the fever will break” among their GOP friends and colleagues.

So, thanks for waking up 10 years later.

This generation of Democrats is obsessed with getting a round of applause for admitting that their critics were right (without actually saying that, ever!) ten or twenty years too late.

I’m glad Mr. Holder has seen the light, now that the damage is done because he didn’t see it when he had power.

What can be understood from this other than many churches don’t thing Arab Christians are Christian enough? That they’re culturally Muslim even though their religion predates Islam?

August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

This is a big deal

I can give you an account of sexism from the lads in the 80s and 90s from four continents. This seems worse because social media has put more of it in our faces. But it’s not changed much.

This is for all the minorities who have told me that Asians don’t face discrimination.

Glad to call Michael a friend. If anyone could predict it, it would be him.

‘Clearly Emaciated’: Former Green Beret Recounts Horrors at ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ Aid Sites Anthony Aguilar, a retired US special forces officer, says the US-funded project involves unqualified US contractors serving as an “appendage” of the Israeli military’s genocidal campaign.

“I said to him, 'you're not forgotten'"
"He says, ‘Thank you’ in English.”

“Palestinians start dropping to the ground, and Amir was amongst them. So this young boy that traveled 8 kilometers, 8 or 9 kilometers, from his home to get aid…ends up dead.”

US Vet on the Gaza "Humanitarian" Foundation:

who told us about her? her VICTIMS, you disingenuous hack.

it takes a lot to gast my flabbers these days but even i can’t believe they’re seriously gonna try this revisionist history shit about a woman who aided and abetted in the rape of children.

In 2020, a right-wing lawyer went to the home of a federal judge in NJ and shot the judge’s husband and killed her son, Daniel Anderl.

Since then, judges nationwide have been receiving pizzas they didn’t order, delivered to the judges’ homes.

And are told it was ordered by Daniel Anderl.

Vile.

Trump and right-wing media's attempt to rehabilitate Ghislaine Maxwell and ignore the Epstein files is not going to end well. It's because they have spent a decade radicalizing their own MAGA base that won't forget or let it go.

Newsmax is now interview Ghislaine Maxwell's brother as part of the effort to reframe Ghislaine as a victim who deserves a pardon

😬The Supreme Court will consider whether the intentional creation of a majority-minority congressional district violates the 14th or 15th Amendments.

If the answer is yes, SCOTUS will effectively declare that what remains of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. This is very, very ominous.

I need a do-over for this month.

We are definitely winning stupid prizes bigly.

(Autocorrect turned bigly into bigot. Not wrong.)

I’ve found that people calling Social Security offices wait an average of nearly 1 hour and 45 minutes, with some people waiting over 3 hours for help.

The Social Security Administration isn’t sharing data about the extent of the problem. I’m asking for answers.

And here I was thinking the way to solve hunger was food.

Hi mother is a Hindu. These troglodytes really are brainless.

Google could be reading your ChatGPT conversations. Concerned? You should be Thousands of shared ChatGPT chats are now appearing in Google search results.

Turns out that #Google was publicly logging ChatGPT conversations that people had shared (privately, or so they thought) with friends. There are conversations about mental health, sex, etc. Do you still think #OpenAI take #privacy seriously? By @stokel.bsky.social
