Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal. Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. For months, I’ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news. Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

Her advocacy smacks of railing against "social contagion".

You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like
You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools
As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.
“Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to hold public office” is now a mainstream position on the right.

And let’s be clear — this is by design. They’ve been forthright about that. The aim is to make it migrants suffer so much that they give up their due process rights and leave voluntarily.
Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

I've said it once and I'll say it again. The future of people's relationship to tech is a small home server, with easily installed and maintained software that anyone could learn. The internet has to balkanize if it's to survive

Loudoun County Public Schools has been ground zero for targeting by the Trump administration over trans students, and chose to protect their students.
Pro-trans candidates Chandler and Svenson are winning, and anti-trans Munoz-Melendez is losing.
If this is all a bad-faith hunt for pretext, that’s alarming enough — but if the Trump judges are truly taking clashes between protesters and counter-protesters seriously, and using them to justify the deployment, the situation is arguably even worse. The National Guard are putatively being deployed to protect federal employees; the obvious conclusion here is that the counter-protesters and right-wing influencers now comprise a paramilitary arm of the federal government that the Trump regime believes is also entitled to protection by the National Guard. That they might possibly be cranks with fewer than 2,000 followers on TikTok is of no consequence — they now have a direct line to the Justice Department, to guns, and to boots on the ground.
I think it is very clear that the Trump regime sees the right-wing influencers on the ground in Portland as an informal arm of their government www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

Here are a few of them:
GOP-led states are blocking college students from registering to vote with campus addresses.
In the context of broader attacks on vote-by-mail and early voting, these efforts will systematically disenfranchise young people across the US.

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.
Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.
I'll add to this, that while they often get left out, this very much applies to Native American tribes. There's hundreds of them and they're all forced to fit a narrow narrative that implies their full assimilation or death, and culture reduced to trinkets, which is all untrue.

Again, just continually pointing out that Judge Immergut was one of the core villains of the Green Scare who aggressively prosecuted and terrorized the anarchist movement.
She may not be a "set the republic on fire" level fascist, but she's not a hero.
Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.
This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.
It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.
