Listen to people closer to the mic trying shrilly to drown out the booing. 🤣

He is loathed.

It reminds me of men who claim to be “feminist in a way” and then don’t elaborate because they just mean they like to have sex and want zero accountability.

Want to End the Gerrymandering Wars? Embrace Proportional Representation Trump has triggered a particularly fierce round, but the logic of war is inherent in a winner-take-all system

@andycraig.bsky.social and @theunpopulist.net crossover event! Andy's piece about getting rid of single-member districts and using a system of proportional representation instead was such a great example of democracy renovation, we had to bring it to our audience too.

a cartoon character is screaming and saying `` i 'm shocked . '' Alt: Fry from Futurama saying “I’m shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.”

So, essentially, the corporate wing of the Democratic party are the ones wanting to cave?

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a New documents and court records obtained by EFF show that Texas deputies queried Flock Safety's surveillance data in an abortion investigation, contradicting the narrative promoted by the company and

License plate readers were sold as tools for finding stolen cars, but records have shown that they're being used in abortion investigations. States must ban law enforcement from using ALPRs to investigate healthcare decisions and prohibit sharing data across state lines. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

It sucks. It wouldn't happen if Democrats had power. They don't. We need to make sure Republicans never have power again and get to work on Medicare For All.

The Great Compromise of the Constitutional Convention

The Senate exists for the same reason that the ACA doesn't have a public option: it was negotiated to placate the necessary votes. Slave states were nervous about being beholden to public will so we massively over-elevated state representation. www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

Christian Right investor Nate Fischer co-founded:

1. “SLI” whose board includes Heritage president Kevin Roberts

2. American Reformer, which has received $50k from Heritage

3. New Founding, which partners w/ Raw Egg Nationalist.

He’s upset that people are talking about #3.

Almost completely, every single problem with higher education that folks think is mainly about something else is <primarily> about the massive decline in state public funding since the 1980s. Yes, including everyone's obsession with getting their kid into the "right" college:

As recently as the late 1980s, tuition at @uwmadison.bsky.social was <$1000/semester. In current dollars, that's about $2500/semester. There is one central reason for that: the <massive decline in state funding>. This was a choice. Other choices remain readily available.

My little cousin in Belgium is paying a few hundred dollars a year for university

Americans, we could have this too, actually 😭

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Feds told Oregon grocers they couldn’t offer 10% off to SNAP recipients, so they got creative The honor system is in place at three Oregon stores, now offering discounts to all who need it.

The McGintys, who own the McMinnville Grocery Outlet, tried to offer 10% discount to all SNAP recipients. But when the Regime told them no, they came up with a go-around:

Extending the offer to ALL customers.

Chuck Schumer cannot agree to any deal that does not include, at minimum, a one year extension of the ACA credits.

A pinky promise from John Thune is meaningless.

I hope this is fear mongering to trick naive Dems because obviously if they’ve got five Dems to join Republicans in betraying the US people, they’d be naming them.

Having been fed whole-fat milk from the ages of 4-5, I have put the little extra straight into restocking my car-based first aid kit. 🫡

Frontal cortex looking really thick and corn-fed these days. 😜

The person whose dog bit me has paid for my antibiotics plus a little then continues to compliment me on responding calmly and kindly to what happened (as if there were anything to be gained by freaking out over it).

I genuinely consider this part of the risk in working with animals of any type.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.

He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.

They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

USA. Then it’s always your own fault because we believe in magic, not reality, here. 🤷‍♀️

“By the time a kid is five years old, the socioeconomic status of the home they came from is already a significant predictor of how thick their frontal cortex is going to be, what its metabolic rate is, how well it works by age 5 already.”
