Texas Democrats! If you live in the 2nd District, vote in November for Shaun Finnie! He will stand for working families, protect Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security, reproductive rights, and revive public education! You cannot replace a MAGA extremist like Dan Crenshaw with another MAGA extremist!

It IS antisemitic to say the Jews of Germany were murdered because they were wealthy, because A) most Jews who were murdered were not wealthy B) Wealthy non-Jews in Germany kept their wealth by happily collaborating with Nazis. Whether it is 'subconscious' antisemitism or not is besides the point.

So it's the "No True Scotsman" argument for Neera Tanden?

Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians The Defense secretary’s decision to cut offices that mitigate civilian harm faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike that killed hundreds of Iranian children.

These kinds of stories don’t get out unless Hegseth has pissed off the brass

Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.

@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb

AI cameras are everywhere — and people are paying the price for their mistakes Flock Safety's license plate readers are used by police in thousands of communities. When the cameras make mistakes, the consequences can be severe.

“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

1. Let me see if I have this right. The Russians are now helping the Iranians kill Americans, first by providing “targeting information,” according to the Post.

ICE Tried To Turn This Minneapolis Teacher Into An Informant Brandon Siguenza was detained for doing legal-observer work. ICE's real interest was in generating snitches. PLUS: Mojtaba Khamanei isn't surrendering

Spencer caught ICE trying to turn an American detainee into an immigration snitch (?) in Minneapolis. Details of his interrogation in this amazing Q&A: @attackerman.bsky.social

CT Jewish leaders denounce new rules for federal security grants Recipients of the nonprofit security grant will be prohibited from DEI programming, staging some boycotts or helping undocumented immigrants.

fun fact: the department of homeland security added restrictions last year to its nonprofit security grants program that help synagogues and other jewish institutions hire security that effectively makes it so that liberal jewish organizations can't qualify

Sort of incredible to think that after fighting for years just to win a narrow edge on the WI Supreme Court, liberals could go up 5-2 next month or even 6-1 by next year.

This is so heartbreaking, and also I am going to make my PSA again.

Babies can be vaccinated against measles as young as six months, it’s just not standard. It’s usually only recommended for international travel in the US. But guess what? We’re the plague pit now.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."

Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
