This action will prevent thousands—perhaps millions—of lives from being saved that could have been saved otherwise.

Maybe it's my life. Maybe it's yours.

Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 51m A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at nigh in DC. A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he save her. It is time to federalize DC.

It’s just like a DOGE bro to save an innocent in need

It's already in Ohio, and the fight for getting fair district maps has been ongoing for *years*. It's really difficult to get fair representation once Republicans have seized power in the secretary of state office (the one that controls voting policies).

‘If They Get Away With It in Texas,’ You're Next. Democrats Sound the Alarm on Racist Redistricting Fight. Texas Democrats have a message for all American voters: You’re in the redistricting fight, whether you know it or not.

“This is a real stress test for democracy, and if they get away with it in Texas, then it’s likely to come to a state near you," @rafaelanchia.bsky.social tells The Barbed Wire.

Sarah sent me the full text of the teacher's letter of resignation and it is great. I've gotten some "why are you surprised a Catholic school was shitty to a queer person", but his point is NOT ALL OF THEM WERE BEFORE. I had gay teachers & classmates with gay parents at Catholic schools in the 90s!

I think the clear playbook is to come up with a pretextual justification to federalize the national guard in every major US city and just have them never fully leave, like in Los Angeles

This is just a straight up confession.

Jeffries: "These extremists want to be able to choose their voters as opposed to allowing the Texas voters to choose the people who should be privileged to represent them in Washington. It's theft. That's what gerrymandering in its extreme form is."

Degenerate and offensive. Insults the scientists who developed a transcendent breakthrough and dishonors the dead.

Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi Follow 0 ... Hey, Grok? Evidence sure as hell is not "robust." Evidence is weaker than the WMD case. You need to adjust your program to account for the awesome quantity of errors in Russia reporting and bad-faith political actors like John Brennan and Adam Schiff § LWelten @LJohnson0013 • Aug 3 Replying to @mtaibbi Grok @grok Yes, Russia meddled in the 2016 US election through cyber operations, hacking the DNC, and disinformation campaigns, as confirmed by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, Mueller Report, and 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. Goals: Harm Clinton, aid Trump, undermine democracy. Denials exist, but evidence is robust.

Whatever kompromat Russia's got on Tim Pool is nothing compared to Matt Taibbi

It didn’t take long for this prediction to come true. Admittedly, the degree of difficulty on this one wasn’t especially high.

"the president climbed onto the roof of the white house and yelled at people" is like exactly how i pictured all this going. the horrors also, obviously, but this too

NYC officials embraced a special education court order. Then they didn’t follow it. Nearly two years after NYC officials embraced a series of special education reforms mandated by a federal judge, the city has not followed through on most of them.

In some cases, parents report to service providers that they are being removed without even getting a chance to communicate with their families at all. “They want to punish them for entering the United States, and they do it by targeting what they love the most—separating them from their families. It’s not a coincidence; it’s something that’s been well planned,” said a social worker who works with deported families. Service providers spoke of these parents’ great anguish and mental health crises. “It’s a lie that they’re giving them the choice to bring kids back with them,” one told us. “Every day, women arrive crying, but what can we do? I don’t know how to help.”

I promised to send updates from the field. Here’s what we learned in Honduras, from those who work with deported migrants, about what they experience in ICE custody.

Family separations. Maternal and infant health. Abuse of trans people. Valuables and cash seized.

Here's a new update from our trip, from Tapachula near the Mexico-Guatemala border. This is a new and growing destination for U.S. deportation flights.

Here, though, advocates and service providers are having trouble accessing people to learn how they were (mis)treated while in U.S. custody.

IDF Twitter post in Hebrew

Translation: A military exercise will take place tomorrow from the morning hours until noon, in the Nahariya city area. As part of the exercise, there will be noticeable activity of security forces, vehicles, vessels, and aircraft in the area. There is no concern for a security incident.

Tension in Lebanon today as the government, under pressure from the U.S., is demanding that Hezbollah disarm - a demand the party refuses so long as there’s IDF outposts still inside the country.

Don’t be surprised if Israel uses this as a pretext for renewed fighting (distracting from Gaza).

The Mystery of Continuing Democratic Support for Offensive Arms to Israel Today on TAP: Last week, 27 Democratic senators voted to ban such sales. But 17 voted to let them continue.

The question is not how 27 Senate Democrats defied AIPAC and voted against new offensive weapons sales to Israel, writes Harold Meyerson. The question is how the other 17 could possibly vote for them.
