Your reminder that pretty much any right wing, fascist or nazi movement in Europe or the US right now can be traced back to Putin.

As I wrote six days ago, the DC Circuit’s delay is a failure to the nation. https://www.lawdork.com/p/affirmative-action-west-point-scotus

I don't know why #MAGA is so concerned about #TaylorSwift. She endorsed #Biden in 2020 and they all still think #Trump won, right?

65% OF POTENTIAL VOTERS UNDER 30 SAY THEY'RE NOT AWARE THAT TRUMP WAS FOUND LIABLE FOR RAPE

DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW ANYONE IN ARIZONA?

Let them know that they can collect signatures to get abortion rights on the ballot in November, or just spread the word to their sun-soaked neighbors.

Just watched a video on Tiktok where someone was complaining about how hard it is to be a creator on all of the big social media apps because of their algorithms and how they all constantly change their formats.

I just commented, "Sitting in my lawn chair, sipping a cool drink, while I chuckle from the Fediverse."

GOP just passed a bill to deport the undocumented for DUIs. I don't drink, but this bill does not make us any safer.
•The national undocumented rate is 3.5% per State.
•MT, WY, & SC's rates are .5%, 1.1%, & 1.8%, respectively.
•MT, WY, & SC have the highest rate of drunk driving deaths.

Even the Cato Institute admits, undocumented immigrants "do not affect overall drunk driving deaths."

150 Democrats voted NO on this bill. My opponent Bill Foster voted Yes 🙄

An unknown amount sick

Imagine making a CPAP machine that blows gas and foam particles into peoples lungs

…then giving the consolation of $100 for victims time returning the killer CPAP machines

…then offering a replacement that emits formaldehyde

…but still selling them to other countries, promising you won’t do so in the US because you’re totally sorry you killed people

Capitalism and medical care *do not mix*

A Pennsylvania man, in custody for allegedly murdering his father and decapitating the body, after the crime hopped a fence and entered a nearby National Guard base in an attempt to mobilize an uprising against the federal government, Bucks County DA Jennifer Schorn tells reporter.

This feels like SESTA/FOSTA all over again. But we still have a chance to stop it. Please keep sounding the alarm.

Mr Rogers could afford to like his neighbors. His 1960s paycheck bought him a whole ass house, yard and fence in between.

I’ll bet most folks who act like him couldn’t either.

Glad to see that @mmasnick -- unlike huge but, sadly, too-timid journalism orgs like Reuters -- isn't bowing and scraping to satisfy corporate censorship demands.

You can get an answer to a question on the internet a lot faster if, instead of simply asking the question, you instead post an answer that you know is wrong.

People are more likely to correct your wrong answer than they are to simply respond to a question.

This is known as the Pythagoras Theorem.

When Obama was elected, Republicans came up with a secret plan to block everything the Democrat tried to do in order to regain power. These days, it’s just done in public. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/01/grassley-republicans-biden-border-deal/?itid=ap_philipbump

There’s a bipartisan tax bill that lift millions of children out of poverty and provides businesses with critical tax breaks. Even though it passed overwhelmingly in the House, GOP senators are stalling it to prevent a “Biden win.” Sound familiar? https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/is-bipartisanship-dead?r=1zr8b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
