Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.

I am clearly becoming too American… just talked to a Finn who returned from a Dubai tech thing and he started talking about seeing missiles and I said “But did you get the work done” and then there was an accusatory silence.

Brilliant update on Texas primary results and makes Texas flip-able, incl gerrymandered seats.
After being rebuked by the Supreme Court for illegally taxing the American people, Donald Trump threw a temper tantrum and announced another round of illegal tariffs that will hurt Arizonans. We won't stand for it.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.

I’m sure if Biden posted late one Sat night that he wanted the governor of Louisiana to rush a hospital ship to Greenland for a serious medical emergency in their populace at a time when we had no hospital ships available and there was no emergency the media would also ignore it.
“The uncertainty centers on whether Blue Owl and other colossal “private credit” lenders have been far too optimistic in their assessments of multiyear, privately traded loans tied to risky companies and industries that may now be threatened by advancements in artificial intelligence”3/3 .
