My hand-carved foam pumpkin of Shoshanna Dreyfus from Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds. I adore this fascism-fighting heroine and her quiet simmering rage. #pumpkincarving #fuckfascists

Exclusive: A Washington state agency is sharing drivers' private data with ICE The KING 5 Investigators find Washington's Department of Licensing has been sharing driver's license data with federal immigration agents, sparking privacy concerns.

Um, what??

@wadol.bsky.social sharing driver data in this way with #ICE is supposed to be prohibited under Keep WA Working

The DOL did this under the 1st Trump admin, and this time around there's even more at stake. There needs to be accountability.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Telling the Truth About the Supreme Court The task of interpreting the law is inherently β€œpolitical.” But no justice has been this comfortable saying so in public.

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

so i don’t know if susan collins knows this but she belongs to a body that has the constitutionally designated power to tell HHS to stop making these cuts because they do not have the authority to unilaterally refuse to spend congressional appropriations.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, β€œWhat is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

Some people voted for trump.
Some people voted for Kamala.
Some people voted 3rd party.

But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security.

What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.
