No need to delay: Not only did the Board of Elections clearly state that they are ready and capable of implementing ranked choice voting, but the voters already told us how they "assessed the need" by overwhelmingly passing it at the ballot box.

The Right Wants to Write Indigenous People Out of US History. We Won't Let Them. The Trump administration is reviving the visual language of manifest destiny and weaponizing the US's founding myths.

"A nation that cannot face its own history cannot repair its present."

"A country that denies genocide cannot claim justice."

"A society that clings to myth will repeat the violence it refuses to see."

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast.

This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

20+ Democrats joined Republicans in undermining DC's public safety and Home Rule.

This makes everyone less safe.

A fight for DC autonomy is a fight for democracy.

Shameful.

Join us in DC Thursday @ USDA building from 3-5 PM, rally @ 3:30. As the Trump Administration blocks emergency SNAP funds & dismantles public services, federal workers are living their oath to serve — by feeding the families & neighbors that have been abandoned. #savefederalservices #WeTookAnOath

The Kavanaugh stop, 50 days later "What a sick world." And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

NEW: The Kavanaugh stop, 50 days later. "What a sick world."

I asked Justice Brett Kavanaugh about his September 8 concurrence and the reality that has followed. Because he should be asked. He, unsurprisingly, did not respond.

Today, at Law Dork:

The Trump admin has come to bluesky. These new accounts for gov agencies are not run by anyone we know in the agencies and have all started off with Hatch Act violations.

In true bsky fashion, I'll be blocking the lot of them rather than giving them any engagement.

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

As the shutdown looms, let’s play; what are the facts?

FACT: Trump wants to distract from Epstein. RELEASE THE FILES

FACT: Republicans run the House, Senate, & White House… if there is a shutdown, Real Math says it’s the REPUBLICANS’ SHUTDOWN.

Texas man accused of plotting Pride parade shooting as revenge for Charlie Kirk Exclusive: ‘Come on bro let’s go hunting fairies,’ Joshua Cole wrote to a friend two days before the Abilene Pride Parade, according to an FBI probable cause affidavit reviewed by The Independent

This is now the second attempted terrorist attack on the LGBTQ community in a week as "revenge" for Charlie Kirk. This follows an attempted mass shooting of a gay bar in Arizona.

Republicans scream “free speech”… until the truth hurts their fragile politics. Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended, but hate, lies, and conspiracy theories run free. Once again, they prove selective outrage is their brand.

To the 31 House Democrats who voted with Trump: I would never vote to disenfranchise your constituents, undermine their democratic rights, or impose harsher penalties on them against their will. Regrettably, you have done exactly that to my constituents and legislative body. Shame 😪

You might think it should be a non-controversial belief among Democrats that "DC should be able to self-govern.

But 31 House Democrats just voted to give Trump and Congressional Republicans full control over DC's sentencing laws.

Shameful, heinous behavior from Vichy Democrats

This Friday, we welcome the marchers from concluding their 160-mile journey from Philadelphia to DC's National Mall. Join us as we rally to demand for Congress to defend our constitutional rights. @weareamericamarch.bsky.social

Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Is Part of a Trend: Spiking Gun Violence in Red States Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah fits a pattern of gun violence run amok in red states.

I’ve been at these protests because I feel like our leaders don’t care. I do.

This feels ghoulish to ask, but if you want a congresswoman who stands up to ICE, donate to my campaign today. We can’t win without you: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky

He was just, like, a guy. Not a politician. Not a statesman of any kind. Just some really mean guy. Flags at half mast. Yankee moment of silence. Whatever the shit this is.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

With cellphone cameras and tip lines, D.C. residents find small ways to fight ICE How neighbors and school communities are organizing against the immigration crackdown.

“They were in my community around my neighbors, they were masked, and they felt like occupiers of our streets. I don’t believe they are keeping us safe ... I have a role to play in protecting my community.”

Opinion: D.C. must invest in local news The need for public investment in local journalism is dire. The Local News Funding Act would support vital sources of information in D.C.

This video makes it clear that many federal agents aren’t stopping residents based on warrants or reasonable suspicion — they’re abducting people based on racial profiling and only then releasing them once their status is verified.

This is blatantly unconstitutional.

Any business in our communities that welcomes this president tonight will be subject to an immediate boycott.

ICE Agent Caught on Camera Disguised as a Construction Worker The Intercept confirmed that a federal agent caught on camera wearing a hard hat and safety vest works for ICE.

Got a neighbor or acquaintance who's an ICE agent...shun them, shame them, socially ostracize them. They have proved themselves willing Brown Shirts, Gestapo police, in general, fascists. They do not deserve to be included in any decent community.

A digital map of Washington, D.C., shows the White House and surrounding landmarks. A thick red circle is drawn around the White House complex. At the top of the image, bold black text reads: “Heaviest crime zone in DC.” The meme suggests that the White House is the epicenter of corruption. It connects to scandals like the disappearance of the Epstein files and the stream of alleged crimes tied to the Trump administration, portraying the seat of power as the scene of cover-ups and criminality.

Heaviest crime zone in DC is the White House. Epstein files vanish, summit secrets left behind, justice buried under chandeliers. When the house of power becomes the scene of the crime, the map is just telling the truth.

A flyer from the Federal Unionists Network (FUN) with a red, white, and dark teal color scheme. At the top is the FUN logo. Large bold text reads: “How to Be a Union — No Matter What the Boss Says.” The event is scheduled for Monday, August 18, 5 PM PT | 7 PM CT | 8 PM ET. A QR code is on the right. On the left is a graphic of a raised fist. A red box with white and beige text reads: “We are more than just a contract — we ARE the union. We CAN win.” The bottom states: “Register for this webinar here: bit.ly/47rimDq.”
