Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Amatxi (“ah-ma-chi”) logo on a black background. The logo has a distinctive pill shape with scalloped edges and reads in a very stylized font.

This Spanish tortilla restaurant has such a cool logo. I absolutely love it: amatxi-tortillas.es

The EPA will stop calculating the value of lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead tally only the cost to businesses. Could it be any more transparent that this administration doesn’t care about the American people?

I can only imagine the conversations I’ll have when my two-year-old is that age

Fox “News” did to our parents what our parents said video games and rap music would do to us

I’ve noticed everyone stopped talking about gas prices once Trump became president even though prices haven’t really changed since then.

It would be around 3,400 reps, which really would make it almost impossible to gerrymander

George Washington thought we should have one rep for every 30,000 people. Now we have one rep for 700,000 or more in some instances.

A New Anonymous Phone Carrier Lets You Sign Up With Nothing but a Zip Code Privacy stalwart Nicholas Merrill spent a decade fighting an FBI surveillance order. Now he wants to sell you phone service—without knowing almost anything about you.

Phreeli founder Nick Merrill “is somebody who is extremely principled and willing to take a stand for his principles,” EFF’s Cindy Cohn told @wired.com. “He's careful and thoughtful, but also, at a certain level, kind of fearless.”

I don’t know what the best alternative is, but from what I’ve seen Deezer is the closest to being the same as Spotify. There’s also Tidal, Qobuz, Bandcamp, and many more.

If the Federal Minimum Wage had kept up with median home prices, it would be a lot higher. For 1980 parity, it would need to be $20.30. For 1970, $25.89. 1960? A whopping $35.12. And for 1940–1950 equivalence, it would need to be a staggering $42.52 per hour. It’s currently $7.25.

Old English used to have separate #words for “paternal uncle” (fædera) and “maternal uncle” (ēam), with the word “uncle” having come to us from #French “oncle” via #Latin “avunculus” and having completely displaced the native #English words. #etymology

You mean to tell me the guy that’s been credibly accused of rape and sexual assault, bragged about being best friends with a sex trafficker, and wrote lewd birthday cards to a sex trafficker about sex trafficking KNEW the sex trafficker was trafficking?

So #Apple is rolling out digital IDs that can include drivers licenses and passports. Any experts out there know what sort of #security or #privacy issues this could create?

The next administration needs to designate the Republican Party a domestic terrorist organization on day one

I mean, when asked about fixing division in this country, Trump said, and I quote, “I couldn’t care less.”

Every single Republican Senator and Congressman is complicit in this. They can step in whenever they want.

'We have him': Trump says suspected Charlie Kirk assassin is in custody YouTube video by Fox News

Today, the president of the United States said that he “couldn’t care less” about fixing the country’s division, and that “radicals on the right” (who have committed 100% of recent political assassinations, btw) are fine, but “radicals on the left” are the problem.
