Huge, huge sympathies for Ds in CA trying to find a non-clown to vote for in the governor's race.
"it will help them not need social supports and social programs"
This is Republican-style anti-government services bullshit language.
EVERYONE needs social supports and social programs in this country BECAUSE CORPORATIONS IMPOSE MASSIVE SOCIAL COSTS THAT INDIVIDUALS CANNOT PAY FOR VIA TAX CUTS.
lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

This is one of my least favorite loopholes, and it basically goes back to the beginning. Congress funds an undeclared war and therefore the Constitution hasn't been violated bsky.app/profile/josh...
SCOOP: Alabama might be the first state to ever ban new solar farms.
Why? People are upset about a gigantic solar project that would power a Meta data center.
Turns out when you tie solar to data centers, it can quickly become less popular!

"A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning," writes Chief Judge James Boasberg.
hey look... GOOD NEWS❣️
so. by his definition... who else is pro-regime change?
*raises hand*
Hegseth’s trial is gonna be a doozy.
There is not a lot of reporting on this as Stryker is fighting like hell to keep this a non-event, event. I also like to drop the scoops before the news, like the one I dropped below, about the computer screen images. A thread of how fucked they are🧵🧵🧵
First the scoop above!
“The worldwide cyberattack wiped employees’ phones and prevented workers from accessing their computers. The logo of Handala, a pro-Iran and pro-Palestinian hacking group, reportedly appeared on employee login pages”
From this article: www.nextgov.com/cybersecurit...
What I know from my contacts. Stryker is an at will employer and they have told théir workers that if they talk to anyone about this, they will be fired on the spot! They are trying as hard as they can to control the damn narrative and it’s going as well as your friend denying a fart.
It is believed that Hospitals will be affected by this and are likely the next target. That is where the FUCKING RANSOMWARE comes into play. Stryker is the most interconnected business behind hospitals data management across Merica, fuck yeah!!! Stryker sent alerts but you know how that plays out.
Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.
They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.
That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.
The MAGA-coded 27-year-old Rob Rausch wearing an "ICE OUT" pin and talking this way about immigrants sure confirms the point below about young men getting turned off by ICE brutality and not being in thrall to MAGA civilizational emergency rhetoric.
(via @meredith-blake.bsky.social)
A subsidiary of these fine Germans just sold ICE a warehouse for another concentration camp
fun fact... the French so impressed by General Washington's dignity and confidence after his capture during the Seven Years War they gave Washington an escort back from Pittsburgh to Mount Vernon his Potomac home.
I co-sign all of this. These are best practices.

hey do you think the $100,000 donation from a man named patrick byrne is the former CEO of overstock dot com? the email on that donation has a "haverford group" domain and belongs to an "S Van Winter," and shannon van winter is the treasurer at byrne's personal foundation so i'm thinking yes?
Six years ago today, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was shot six times and killed by police officers who forced entry into her Louisville, KY apartment. Her death sparked nationwide outrage and calls for an end to police brutality and gun violence against Black people. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter
I think gambling outside of say low stakes bets with friend groups is in fact bad and no socially redeeming value, but people are going to do it anyway so you should make it hard and also tax the companies who are doing it a lot.
If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

the proud boys' lawyer thinks he redacted the email addresses of the over 2000 people who donated to the fundraiser for the lawsuit, but here's the thing: no he did not lol
We put an alcoholic rapist in charge of the military and he’s confessing to war crimes from the Pentagon podium.
When we restore democracy, we need to put the people who committed crimes in prison.
✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.
Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
"Declaring that no quarter will be given" is specifically prohibited by Art 23 of the Annex to the Hague Convention IV, which means it is a war crime under US domestic law by virtue of the War Crimes Act (18 U.S. Code § 2441).
It’s been over a decade since I had a run of Canadian dates, so I’m excited to be playing shows from Halifax to Winnipeg this summer – with a short excursion down to the US to play a set of Mermaid Avenue songs with Wilco at Solid Sound.
