This was exactly what I said a decade ago after the “locker room talk” bullshit about the Access Hollywood tape.
No, neither I nor my friends ever hung out in the locker room bragging about sexually assaulting women.

“The Government sometimes makes brief investigative stops. . . . If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go.”

Photo of records kept in Mar-a-Lago bathroom
The alleged security breaches by John Bolton remind me of security breaches by another ex-government official who kept classified records in his bathroom and evaded justice with the help of a corrupt MAGA judge in Florida.

The 2026 Election Is Being Decided at the Supreme Court
A case heard Wednesday will go a long way to determining whether Republicans can gerrymander their way to a near-permanent House majority.
The Supreme Court looks poised to allow states to draw racially discriminatory maps – effectively eroding civil rights law and giving Republicans an almost insurmountable majority in the House. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/Vjs7n9K

Gaza has around 20,000 unexploded Israeli bombs amid up to 70 million tonnes of rubble, posing a massive threat to Palestinians, as removal is blocked by Israel’s ban on heavy equipment, according to the Government Media Office.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.
Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...
Among the Education Department’s new appointees is Lindsey Burke, the lead author of Project 2025’s education section.
She envisions dramatic enrollment declines for public schools: “We’re going to have a lot of empty school buildings.”

Why the next generation of mRNA vaccines is set to be even better
Scientists are designing mRNA vaccines to produce virus-like nanoparticles, which should lead to a more robust immune response with even fewer side effects than either of these immunisation approaches...
“Vaccines that resemble viruses generally produce a stronger immune response, while mRNA versions are much quicker and cheaper to make. Now we are getting the best of both worlds, in the form of mRNA vaccines that code for virus-like nanoparticles, rather than just individual proteins”

This tech has been used to track heads of state, business leaders, journalists, and maybe even you.

This is a reason why we should ditch the Electoral College & Senate & adopt proportional representation for the House so every voter counts equally no matter where they live.
Our system insulates the governing party from electoral blowback in uncompetitive states & districts if it screws them over

Taking in refugees isn't just a nice thing we do — we have a legal obligation. The 1951 Refugee Convention came about specifically because countries like the US refused entry to Jews who were trying to escape Germany, because the world didn't ever want that to happen again.

1 in 5 workers in America is an immigrant. When you rip 2 million people from our communities and workplaces, the whole economy suffers.
This is the reality of the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers.

Money talks: the deep ties between Twitter and Saudi Arabia
The long read: Saudi Arabia’s investment in Twitter increased its influence in Silicon Valley while being used at home to shut down critics of the regime
Must-read piece in @theguardian.com (h/t @dpcarrington.bsky.social). In #ScienceUnderSiege, we describe how petrostates Saudi Arabia & Russia leveraged Musk's buyout of twitter so they could weaponize it for climate denial propaganda & attacks on renewables.

Let's talk about who gets to be "kids" and who doesn't here. Even flossing over the fascist apologia, some of these men are in their thirties. That's not "kids."
Meanwhile, 13 year olds abducted by ICE are just "aliens" and Black teenagers are "males."

The Supreme Court Case That Could Hand the House to Republicans
Aside from losing many Democratic seats, Black representation in Congress will probably drop from around 14% of seats (nationally representative) to maybe 7 or 8% (not representative)?
