“Remember what I said…” Yeah. About that. It’s almost impressive how confidently wrong that prediction aged.

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

NEW: Georgia removed nearly 471,000 voters from its rolls last summer — roughly 6% of all the state’s registered voters.

Now voting rights groups are suing, arguing the state is illegally hiding records about how the purge was carried out.

The funniest thing would be if the Labour Party also got arrested today

Every time I respond to this tweet, BlueSky deletes it. So I'm trying a quote-tweet. I wrote a book about Casolaro and Maxwell:

Do Steve Cohen and the Democratic Establishment Know What's Coming? The Democratic primary in Memphis is already tense and personal. And it may just be the start of months of backlash against entrenched Democratic incumbents.

interesting article on the primary battle in Memphis between Rep Steve Cohen and @justinjpearson.bsky.social. I was proud to nominate Justin for @sierraclub.org's highest award several years ago for his work fighting an oil pipeline and he is now battling Elon's polluting gas turbines.

Students feel like they can’t enroll in majors like Af-Am Studies and WGSS because they’re getting messages from all sides that they’re not remunerative. And yet they desperately want the knowledge, so classes are full. That seems to be the situation everywhere.

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009.

The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time.

What a wonderful time to have a senile sociopath as president and a talk show drunk as defense secretary.

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

New poll: Voters would rather pause deportations than pay more for groceries, housing Trump's State of the Union address was largely about crime and immigration. Voters in our poll want to hear less about immigration policy and more about how he's going to bring down prices

New poll: 42% of adults say they would spend a hypothetical $75 billion surplus on reducing housing, health care, & food costs, vs 5% who say immigration enforcement.

Voters also say they'd want to pause Trump's deportations if they were causing inflation.

U.S. Women's Hockey Team Declines Trump's SOTU Invite After Degrading 'Joke' Trump has faced backlash for teasing that he had to invite the women to D.C. along with the men's team, both of which earned Olympic gold.

Good. It's called backbone. And the men's team is "showing their ass" by agreeing to celebrate at the White House after this jackass mocked the women's team. They are a national embarrassment now and they can go kick rocks. www.huffpost.com/entry/usa-wo...

BREAKING

Charles Kushner, the US Ambassador to France, has been banned from meeting with members of the French government after he failed to show up to a diplomatic summons with the French Foreign Minister.

Nobody will say a word. This is Trump’s Party. They don’t care about this stuff.

Americans say Epstein files lowered their trust in U.S. political and business leaders Majority also feel Epstein files show that powerful people in the U.S. are rarely held accountable for their actions

We need to hold the Epstein class accountable in America. This is a defining issue to restore trust in our democracy.

Now THAT's a headline.

Jeffrey Epstein Was Vladimir Putin's Wealth Manager, FBI Source Claimed in Newly Released Epstein Files Jeffrey Epstein managed money for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, among other powerful world leaders, one confidential source claimed in FBI testimony

As I keep saying, the Epstein story is an offshore finance story.

And offshore finance is about elite impunity: insistence on their wealth and their persons being protected by the law, but never being subject to the law.

It's the "Every man a King" fantasy made real.

Jeffrey Epstein helped fuel the campus culture wars The academics in the Epstein files aren’t all criminals, but they shared beliefs about whose work matters.

The worst figures on campus arguing that campuses had become overrun with wokeness were all best buddies with Epstein. Quelle surprise.

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

I doubt that there's a more effective way to capture unitary executive theory in an image.

And because it's the DOJ building, it also captures the notion that the President is above the law.

This

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

the United States has the most corrupt oligarchy in the world
