Quick round up:

- the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile
- he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments
- his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets
- the FBI is helping him steal the election
- he’s threatening war against multiple allies

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Seems like Dems could do pretty well capitalizing on anti-AI & data center backlash, but lots of party elites and pundit types have instead made it their mission to win back the tech billionaires who are embracing Trump

I don’t really understand the people who think we shouldn’t situate the current moment in context of the last 25 years in American politics, including the actions of the three Democrats who were president during that time

Just going to keep saying it, it is remarkable (you can still be shocked without being surprised!) that the rest of the Republican party has decided that blatant corruption and enrichment off the office of the presidency is legal for this one guy

Cannot emphasize this enough.

On the whole, police don’t solve crimes for shit, and they don’t prevent crimes for shit. They are actively bad at both. The average Law & Order fan would be stunned to tears after following around real cops for a day.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

"All of them hope that the [feast] will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But. . . [it] will not pass. It will rage and it will roar ever more loudly, ever more widely."

Embarrassed but not surprised at my alma mater @upenn.edu.

(*Notwithstanding Churchill's imperialism etc., his point is apt.)

I’m thinking of how Nathaniel Rich in his book, β€œLosing Earth,” recounts how environmentalists’ congressional climate hearings in the β€˜70s were way more effective at capturing headlines and swaying politicians’/public opinion when scheduled during sweltering summer than at any other time of year

The heat wave can only but help Mamdani. Both bc it could lower turnout among older people, as @ericklinenberg.bsky.social rightly points out. & bc 100Β°, humid, sunny weather drenching voters in sweat might encourage people to give good climate policies more weight.

This Machine Kills is a phenomenal anti-capitalist take on tech & political economy

Seasoned leftists might forget Democracy Now! when listing podcasts. But it’s vital for (esp budding) leftists as a reliable daily source not only of global news but of well-informed leftist takes on current issues

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace.

And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
