Eric Michael Garcia @EricMGarcia The major reason why Gallego is getting behind Graham Platner: they shame the same consultant in Rebecca Katz. via @lizcgoodwin Gallego and Platner also share a relationship to Rebecca Katz, a strategist who advised Gallego's Senate race in 2024 and had advised Platner. In other competitive primaries, Gallego has endorsed candidates Schumer is seen as privately favoring, including Angie Craig in Minnesota and Haley Stevens in Michigan. Mills has picked up the endorsements of Schumer and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat from the swing state of Nevada.

I think I know what's wrong with Gallego.

And we now have Trump and Netanyahu admitting that "negotiations" in 2025 and over the past few weeks with Iran were just ploys to distract from attack decisions made weeks earlier.

the seemingly inexorable march of antisemitism into the very heart of US politics from both the left and right is pretty depressing

Claude (which like any AI has a knowledge cutoff date a couple of months ago) finds out about the newest Middle East War during a research (screenshot from Reddit).

I feel you, Claude, I really do.

Trump thought endless bragging about ending eight wars was going to win people over before the midterms. It’s not working so he’s now saying the opposite. The hypocrisy doesn’t matter because he never meant a word of what he said.

normal people i know and would generally say that I respect[ed] are now dropping stuff like "the jews bought all the houses, that's why it's all so expensive", in casual conversation. it's absolutely fucknig shocking

Trump Official Who Helped Kill USAID Now Using Its Funds for Himself Russ Vought, White House Office of Management and Budget director, has decided what is happening with USAID funds.

And an underrated villain, Trump's Director of OMB, slashed funding from programs that kept millions of people alive around the world so he could spend that money on something more important -- himself

Georgia Is Letting a Railroad Seize Land a Black Family Has Owned For 100 Years Descendants of enslaved people are fighting an attempt to use eminent domain to carve a spur through one of Georgia’s largest Black‑owned farms.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth

Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

Now that SCOTUS has sided against Trump on tariffs, say it with me:

Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.

The Supreme Court:

one phenomenon i hope will fade away in Woke 2.0 is the obsession with shitting on Obama to signal how far left people are

"drone strikes" has completely consumed his legacy (for lack of a better term) in a significant number of young people's minds and it's dumb

The most shocking thing about this decision: 3 Justices would have let Trump use a statute that doesn’t mention tariffs to impose unrestricted ones.

Accordingly, the President must “point to clear congressional authorization” to justify his extraordinary assertion of the power to impose tariffs.He cannot

Major takeaway from SCOTUS's 6-3 ruling striking down Trump's tariffs.

Trump "must 'point to clear congressional authorization' to justify his extraordinary assertion
of the power to impose tariffs." ... He cannot." buff.ly/LN294XA

U.S. Deports Nine Migrants in Secret, Ignoring Legal Protections

last month the US secretly deported nine asylum seekers to cameroon where they’ve been trapped at a local government-owned compound until they agree to return to their home countries where they face persecution and death. none have history of violence.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

Kash Patel stopped FBI agents from investigating Renee Good’s killing because the findings might’ve contradicted their narrative that she was a “domestic terrorist.”

We cannot trust a word coming out of this Admin.

DHS must allow Minnesotan authorities to investigate, NOW.

Tweet from Hasan Piker: "benjamin netenyahu is in the files and former pm ehud barak has such an extensive relationship w esptein they might as well call it the israel files what the fuck are you talking about."

Netanyahu is a war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but the only references to Netanyahu in the Epstein files are emails sent exchanging articles about him, or others discussing him.

I think it's very bad that the most popular left-wing streamer on the internet is a raging antisemite.

good talk

One of these days, people will look back on these sports betting ads like we do on the ads for patent medicines featuring cocaine.

My basic view on LLM’s is that “why should I bother to read something that someone didn’t bother to write”

Rohan Nadkarni @RohanNadkarni This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

Asimov's actions, and the tolerance-up-to-celebration of it, absolutely drove women out of field and out of fandom, and made it easier for others in the field, writers, editors and fans, to follow his lead for decades. Asimov pinching asses was not about his work. It kept women and their work out.

Folks outside SF/F don't know that Asimov was a sexual harasser because while he was alive fandom thought it was cute (up to and including Asimov being invited to give a lecture on "The Power of Positive Posterior Pinching" at Worldcon, which he, wisely, declined).

The Washpost's editor said today that, amid the layoffs, one of the Post's top priorities will be "national security, in DC and abroad."

And at the same time, the Post is laying off every journalist in the Middle East. And Ukraine.

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.

In November of 2024, two weeks after voters returned President Donald Trump to office, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summoned employees of the U.S. Supreme Court for an unusual announcement. Facing them in a grand conference room beneath ornate chandeliers, he requested they each sign a nondisclosure agreement promising to keep the court’s inner workings secret.

Jodi Kantor in the NY Times reports that the Chief Justice requested Court employees sign nondisclosure agreements in November 2024 - moving to formal contracts requiring silence/confidentiality after Trump was reelected: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...
