Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Major decision. In D.C., ICE/CBP can no longer arrest immigrants without a warrant unless they find individualized probable cause of a flight risk.

"Viewing all immigrants potentially subject to removal as criminals is, as a legal matter, plain wrong." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

There's no evidence yet that BLS numbers have been cooked and it's very hard to do that. BLS is still way better than ADP's job reports which have never been considered a gold standard.

The level of brain damage you have to have to think college football is biased against Notre freaking Dame cannot be accumulated on a football field. The internet is its own kind of CTE.

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing

Trump winning it takes the super legislature into some danger zones, as goliaths like Costco might wind up supporting Court reform against an entity who didn't strike down an unconstitutional and historic tax increase against them that they're suing over.

Losing his case and refunding Costco is his best outcome, but Trump will also probably burn the GOP to the ground over his signature policy being overturned, which is the betting favorite coming out of the November arguments. www.jezebel.com/costco-joins...

Ultimately there are just a lot of people who are looking for a politics that allows them to engage in this kind of sadism, but we shouldn’t allow them to turn around and pretend that they have actual morals without pointing out the obvious, that they just want blood bsky.app/profile/acco...

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

How to Win Red States With a Labor Party We can take political power without asking Democrats for it.

Independent, pro-worker, class warrior candidates can absolutely beat Republicans in red states if they are not tainted by the Democratic Party brand. The labor movement can make this happen systematically.

one of the problems I have with Democrats (and other critics) labeling these "war crimes" is that it accepts the underlying claim that the people being murdered are enemy combatants. They're not! it's just murder!

Just hear me out: maybe the Democratic Party’s problem is that the party leadership is full of people incapable of realizing that Matt Yglesias has terrible political instincts.

The thing that people need to realize is that, on the state level, a lot of Republican lawmakers don't act or think like Congressional Republicans and don't perform as pure toadies for Trump.

Some do. Many don't. I see both in Mississippi.

You can't view state politics through the lens of D.C.
