The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

Someday he'll fire RFK Jr. too, because he's a savvy politician, and RFK Jr. is viscerally disgusting to the human sensibility. When he does - and he will - public health will have to grapple with the fact that it was doable, and we could have tried harder, sooner

Have you looked at the size of South Dakota’s government compared to DHS?

DHS employed 260,000 people

“As of 2024, there are approximately 14,753 state government employees in South Dakota … includes 5,735 people employed in state government education and 9,018 in other state government roles.”

However, that will come to a screeching halt during this summer’s FIFA World Cup throughout North America. And soccer’s governing body will now allow broadcasters to cash in with commercials.

The US has a history of support for Nazi like and other authoritarian forms of govt. ( eg Ford motor co, McCarthyism ) We usually come to our senses when we’ve exhausted all other means to screw up. Then we have a period of progressiveness that’s hard to completely reverse
and the pendulum swings

Movies to remake:

“Nightlife of the Gods,”

Arizona House passes vaccine mandate ban; Senate, voter approval needed A push to end vaccine mandates in Arizona comes as the state reports 275 measles cases since early 2025. HCR 2056 is off to the Senate. If approved, there it would appear on the November 2026 ballot.

“Just because I am at risk doesn’t mean I can invade your body because of my risk factor. That’s not okay.”

These are the words of AZ state rep Nick Kupper (R, Nazi Germany) in sharing his belief that immunocompromised people don’t deserve to be protected by vaccine requirements for school entry.

Note also that the words he has chosen are intentionally meant to evoke a comparison between vaccination and sexual assault. This is not a new strategy for the anti-vaccine movement, either.

They failed. They might have advocated for specific policies but obviously since the autocracy has arrived, they’ve failed miserably at advocating for democracy.

The problem is we don't have well-developed langugage/tools for helping people overcome voter suppression, because normally voter suppression is only the concern of Black/brown people

@jimalwine.bsky.social and I published this in February 2025, for example.

It’s depressing to see how much came true.

Imagine all of the potential lawsuits that RFK Jr. is setting up for his firm once he’s expelled from the U.S. government like a hairball.

RFK Jr. demands Dunkin', Starbucks to prove drinks are 'safe' Robert F. Kennedy threatens to crack down on Dunkin' and Starbucks for their sugary drinks at a Make America Healthy Again event.

It sure is interesting that Mr. “Medical Freedom” and “parental rights” thinks that the government should decide if teenage girls are allowed to have coffee from Starbucks or Dunkin.

I think he’s setting up lawsuits for his firm for after he is expelled from the government like a hairball.

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.
