I don't remember Biden spiking oil and gas prices for hard working Americans.

I live in Wis and have been the recipient of some of those Calif postcards in the past. Thank you

Yes! I’m a postcarder from CA and we are currently writing and mailing postcards to vote for Judge Chris Taylor for State Supreme Court in the April 7 election! She will protect reproductive freedom and voting rights! 🗳️

Yup: either liberals win on offense this year or next year...

... or they have a high-stakes election to worry about in the spring of 2028, right in the middle of presidential primaries (and we know how those suck up all the oxygen).

read about it! boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Marc Elias with some good news:

“As of Tuesday night, Democrats have overperformed in 253 of 283 key elections since 2025, and Democratic turnout reached levels we have not seen in decades.”

Yay!

The year is 2033. You make micropayments per offensive drive to watch a football game. An on-screen scoreboard is extra.

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”

tuesday was one of the year's biggest election days. i made a thread that day about the 10 most interesting (local, non-federal) elections i was watching so they get more attention.

but that means i should do a thread to bring you their results!

so my follow-up 🧵:

The first Black woman in space carried more than experiments aboard the shuttle.

Mae Jemison’s journey from Chicago science museums to Space Shuttle Endeavour showed generations of girls what was possible.

History remembers the woman who reached for the stars.

No wonder we’re in the shit.

Quite an opening paragraph.

Adding context to some things makes it even more of a self own: At 00:06 it's Adam Driver as Kylo Ren in "The Last Jedi" desperately trying to kill Luke Skywalker by hammering down the arsenal of his whole military on him. And Luke just brushes it off.

Mad Max, Bravehart, Maximus, Walter White, Deadpool, John fucking Wick?? Every single one of them hate the system! Jesus, do these people watch Star Wars and relate to the rebels and not the Empire? Are they mad, stupid or just kkkunts

If one does illegal wars, who’d care about copyrights?

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

Radical-right behavior is increasing across Western democracies, often very fast. Previous research has shown, however, that political attitudes and preferences do not change this fast. How, then, can we make sense of these patterns? I argue that, to explain them, one needs to appreciate the crucial role of social norms as drivers of political behavior. Social norms can make one's behavior conditional on expectations of what others deem appropriate. In so doing, they can block the translation of preferences into behavior, and bring about changes in behavior even under preference stability. Building on a theory of how norms affect political supply and demand, I argue that growing radical-right behavior is driven by individuals who already had radical-right views, but who did not act on them because they thought that they were socially unacceptable.

Basically this, except that paying attention to empire was a cheap way of catching conservatism unfiltered.

People are dying in the Iran War.
What the actual fuck is this goddamn Fruitloop talking about?

love a statement in this year of our lord 2026 that could have been made to the Roman Senate

Ryan to Colby: "In his victory speech, Trump said, 'I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.' How can we consider that anything but a straight up betrayal? I think you are lying to the American people about it, I think the VP is lying about it, I think the president is lying about it."

JACOBS: Are we at war with Iran?

COLBY: We're in a military action

JACOBS: Yesterday, Trump said 'we're doing very well on the war front' and previously he said, 'we should expect casualties because that often happens in war.' So is he wrong?

COLBY: I'm not the right person to weigh in

For a regime that insisted on renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, and a new and cocky Secretary of War who can’t stop lecturing about lethality and maintaining a warrior ethos, these guys are surprisingly afraid to call a war a war.

GOODLANDER: I want to give you an opportunity to truthfully answer a very simple question -- who won the 2020 election?

COLBY: I'm not gonna talk about that issue

GOODLANDER: ... You swore an oath to our Constitution

COLBY: I'm not going to be drawn out on an issue of political contention

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
