A post by Rebecca Johnson: “I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.” A tumblr respond from mightymur: “The final, brilliant word on passive voice. "She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive "Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

And you can bet your bottom dollar most will be Afro-Cubans sent into the maw of death. Why yes, Cuba is still racist, even under socialism. Shocking, I know.

Plenary authority has existwd since 1903, when the Supreme Court, in Lone Wolf v Hitchcock, invented it. It allows Congress to unilaterally abrogate any Indian treaty and call it legal.

If you want to know what is coming, look at how the government has treated Native peoplea.

Does Trump have plenary authority? Stephen Miller freezes before camera in ‘awkward’ live TV moment White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller caused outrage after claiming in a CNN interview that Trump has “plenary authority” and then freezing.

Anyone else been studying up on “Plenary Authority?”

I know, I know— they are threatening to not pay us and many are worried. The law is clear and most I know believe strongly we will get paid. I will address this tomorrow.

In the meantime, Stephen (freaking) Miller said the quiet part out loud.

Hmmm???

Are You a ‘Heritage American’? Why the far right wants to know if your ancestors were here during the Civil War.

The nativist right keeps talking about “heritage Americans.” It's a buzzword engineered to move the goalposts on immigration even further, argues @alibreland.bsky.social.

this notion that we're supposed to continue to chop wood & carry water as the world burns down around us, that we have to compartmentalize, is why we're all having mental breakdowns — because we're not dealing with the actual reality in front of us so we can keep paying the assholes doing this to us

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

When Will the Lion Concern Himself Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

Malcolm X and Ho Chih Minh both worked at the same restaurant, just at different times.

Mamdani is out here changing how the whole democratic party speaks to the public and (hopefully) how they function. Why can’t we put HIM on a coin that no one uses? Never let them forget that’s who they’re mimicking to get shit done, AFTER they tried to yeet him off the political map.

that title was misleading*

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

for the president not his minions

he wont! once someone is pardoned, if they get called to testify they have no incentive to cover up anything and they can no longer plead the 5th

These Supreme Court oral arguments on conversion therapy are going to be painful. No matter what is said, know that trying to force someone to be what they're not is psychological torture with measurable negative consequences, and anyone trying to defend such efforts is a bigoted monster.

GOP BULLSHIT!!!!! 🤬

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush? Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.
