“Courts think that they can somehow get themselves out of the political arena entirely,” says a legal scholar. “These trials are always already politicized. The choice to charge is politicized. The action itself is obviously political.”
REI walked away from negotiations with the @reiunion.bsky.social, refusing to pay union and non-union employees the same wage, unacceptably demanding union employees take less. Now they're proceeding with benefit and wage cuts against union members. If you're a member of REI, tell them to eat shit.
As another thought experiment, imagine if the guy Stephen Miller works for hadn’t left the JCPOA.
First of all, we have to assume now that they are lying about even “dozens.” Second, this is like re-establishing the eastern direction of the sunrise. Mass voter fraud doesn’t exist in 🇺🇸, & anyone who lies that it does should be shunned from polite society & no longer taken seriously in the media.

UN report says Trump’s hate speech sparked ‘human rights violations.’ White House responds: ‘No one cares’
Best Twitter riposte of the day. Violent crimes on NYC subways have hit the lowest rate we've seen since 1962. But Sean Duffy understands that his job is to spread fear based on lies.
I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...
This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.
BREAKING: The Senate has passed the biggest housing affordability bill in 30 years, and it includes a ban on investors buying single-family homes.
The bill passed 89-10.
This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

And read what Israel’s defense minister says the purpose of the legal system is. (Hint: not to prosecute crimes).
My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers — not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:
I'm sure a few more attacks on Zohran Mamdani for once saying, "Globalize the Intifada" will rehabilitate Israel's reputation among young Americans.
Sodomizing a Palestinian prisoner with a knife on camera is apparently legal in Israel
"Jennifer Schuessler has meticulously documented the destruction since the beginning... But there’s something about seeing a callow young man blank out when asked why he destroyed so much that really brings home the mindless destruction of this campaign." www.lawandchaospod.com/p/doge-bros-...

“The works made me think about the limits of mass reproduction—simulating an image or style for the sake of simulation, as artificial technologies do now—and how that falls short, not only because the results lack imagination but also because they lack effort. “
Well done, @eddysarah.bsky.social !

The Pentagon has not permitted photographers to cover Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s last two briefings on the war in Iran. The Defense Department hasn’t explained the change in a longstanding policy, with a spokesman declining to comment to The Associated Press.
Relieved we're eliminating DEI so that the only criteria for choosing people for important jobs like Ms. Schadlow's here is pure merit. Who has time to read the Constitution anyhow?
