Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:
You still gotta impeach ‘em, jail ‘em, generally grind their bones to dust and suchlike.
Shuttering women’s and gender studies programs across the nation so that people will smile and nod at this shit with smooth, unbothered brains.
That news about proton turning over payment information is why it makes no sense to spend every day yelling at people online about *digital security.*
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
The City of Chicago has settled a lawsuit brought by Michael Williams & MacArthur Justice Center after Mr Williams was falsely charged with murder following a ShotSpotter alert. He sat in jail for a year during the height of the COVID pandemic.

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!"
but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question
Gah did you know that books are just so so good?
Who can reply: anyone, nobody, people who can be normal about it.
trying out a new feature, lmk if it works
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
If it helps, I can express my contempt even louder.
time for my recurring segment, "the Orwell people should read isn't 1984 or Animal Farm, it's Politics and the English Language"

Benjamin Netanyahu’s long career was built on conflict avoidance—then, October 7 transformed and radicalized him, @Yair_Rosenberg argues:
OMFG they think we are the dumbest people who ever lived.
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with her gaping maw stretched open wide to accommodate a French fry. Nothing else but her nose is visible, really.
Same dog, same scene, now with her big pink tongue wrapping around the fry.
The jaws begin to close, and her bright blue eyes are peeking over the edge of her perspective-foreshortened snoot.
Now she squints happily as her mouth closes on the fry. Wictory!
Yes, the world is a garbage fire - but have you given a dog any French fries lately?

Now more than ever, you don't have to be cutting and pasting batshit posts that you have seen over on That Other Site and also, for fuck's sake, get off That Other Site, again, now more than ever
If you're in Chicago, my friend Essence and me created a guidebook titled "Lifting As They Climbed" that maps the contributions of Black women in Chicago. Currently 20% off. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2003-l... - get the book and go explore the city.
This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.
one good thing about being antiwar is you will never be wrong. one bad thing about being antiwar is no one who matters will ever listen to you
Are you drinking coffee thinking you’re tired or is your depression doing that and you’re treating it with coffee? My endless dialectic.
Imagine explaining to Jesus or an alien or a fuckin ant, “So yeah we do actually have the resources to feed and care for every member of our species, but we choose not to because some humans don’t deserve that. For example, little girls in Iran or on east side of my city. We’re smart.”
other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life
It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
Stratton's donation page is here; Krishnamoorthi is funded by crypto assholes and has a huge cash advantage, so your donations really help. www.julianastratton.com
I’m enraged at the efforts to interfere in voting, but I’m even angrier that no one points out that *Trump was President in 2020* so he’s basically claiming that he needs extraordinary power over voting because he didn’t stop foreign interference when he was last in power
To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.
I actually disagree with all the leftists on here saying that Mamdani shouldn't have taken the bait.
He should have immediately done a video very solemnly erecting a comically large memorial plaque on the site of the incident
He should have hired bagpipers. And shed a single, dignified tear
I lost count of the number of white people who insisted all day yesterday that nobody was harmed. One guy in particular was like “prove it.”
