Reminder: When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/9/16/headlines/billionaire_larry_ellison_could_add_tiktok_to_media_empire_as_us_and_china_reach_deal

OR, or... ...violent "christian" white nationalism is reason enough.

The injunction is silent as to the use of force. And it is not necessary for the injunction to address that use-of-force question because the Fourth Amendment’s reasonableness standard continues to govern the officers’ use of force and to prohibit excessive force. To the extent that excessive force has been used, the Fourth Amendment prohibits such action, and remedies should be available in federal court. I agree with the dissent on that point. But to reiterate, this injunction against brief stops for questioning does not address the useof-force issue.

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading.

It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

Exactly!

HOLY S**T look at this: Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott just quietly disclosed stock trades a year late – worth $26 MILLION – on companies HE LEGISLATED. 😳 This is corrupt to its core, and he's hoping no one will notice. You know what to do.

I love the S#*+posting, but this guy makes me as relaxed as sitting downslope from a mountain lion.

The flavorless dumplings in gravy weren't all bad.

Yes!

Maybe people should stop "hot"-linking NYT and WSJ articles, just include a citation. Stop feeding these unethical, soulless rags and their outrage-profit engines.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus

In our latest Bellingcat Stage Talk we discussed how we monitored the immigration raids in LA using footage shared on social media. Listen to the episode with @koltai.bsky.social, @sergioolmos.bsky.social of @calmatters.org and Kevin Clancy of @evidentmedia.org here: rss.com/podcasts/bel...

His participation in the race will give the real-estate bros and their ilk all the plausibility they'll need to cook the results, should they even need too. NY needs some sore-loser rules in local elections.

Some of us got a huge portion of our vocabulary from sci-fi and fantasy in our pre-teens. I would flag the gpt check sooo hard.

You are almost certainly correct, I worry that there will be more than enough to terrorize multiple urban centers on both coasts though.
