Survivorship bias for sure, but the dictators history writes about never defund their Praetorian Guards...

I thought the line "Somehow Palpatine returned" was sloppy and stupid but we did that shit with polio in real life so shows how wrong I was.

Again @jkbjournalist.bsky.social jersey should be in the RAFTERS of whatever journalism is

And she gets one free shot on the person of her choosing who most hobbled these stories

In 1938, Kundan Lal Gupta, a businessman and philanthropist from Ludhiana, quietly rescued five Jewish families from Nazi Austria. He did it without fanfare, and few knew his story for decades.

It was about protecting Division III high school girls volleyball.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

The obvious wisdom and effectiveness of Housing First is obscured by the fact we've made "a tiny, no-frills apartment" an expensive status symbol in huge swathes of the country by creating an artificial housing shortage

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

The Measles Mumps Rubella Varicella (MMRV) vaccine exists! My kid got the whole series!

States should require kids in public schools to get all available vaccines!

This was even standard practice in places like WV & MS, with no religious exemptions allowed, until Trump!

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Who killed Rasheem Carter? A shattered skeleton. Gruesome rumors. A brutal history of lynchings. And tight-lipped cops who quickly said "no foul play."

The disparate impact on Black people from living in Mississippi.

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

A friend sent me a message last night that security at a hospital they were at in the SF Bay Area was insane.

And then I saw this. Yes, it's the least credible source. Nevertheless...

Who thinks that a war with Iran will not affect terror attacks in the U.S.?!? lol

Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police quietly erected overnight at Capitol The memorial honoring officers who defended the Capitol was required by law to be installed by March 2023.

Years after Congress ordered a plaque to honor the police defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, it was finally installed — at 4 am this morning.

@oliviacgeorge.bsky.social was there. Read her eloquent, somber scoop.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Texas sued over excluding Islamic schools in voucher program The federal lawsuit argues Texas officials are engaging in religious discrimination by preventing Islamic private schools from accessing state voucher money.

The argument that public money for religious schools would be distributed irrespective of religion was in bad faith? In Texas?

US skips congressional review to approve munitions sale to Israel The U.S. State Department said ​on Friday it has approved a sale worth $151.8 million to Israel for munitions and ‌munitions support, without submitting it for congressional review.

THE LATEST NEWS AT THIS HOUR:

RUBIO SIDESTEPS CONGRESS ON $151 MILLION ARMS SALE: On Friday, the U.S. State Department approved a $151.8 million munitions sale to Israel without submitting it for congressional review.

Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.

I’m currently writing a book about what’s really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.

Suffice it to say, this ain’t it:

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

Why the fuck are we only hearing about this from a ridiculous British tabloid?

Counterpoint would be the incredibly high vaccination rates in WV & MS pre-Trump due to state law prohibiting religious exemptions from vaccinations for kids going to school ...

That's not personal recommendations, but actual leadership ...

Imagine being mad that your daughter is a genius

😂😂😂 NY Senator Kevin Parker is right to firmly reject Hochul’s attempt to roll back NY’s climate law:

“We should be in our sustainable energy bag now.”

Indeed. Well put!

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Welp, Kanopy didn’t survive the library’s budget cuts. Watch these while you still have access (the service will be gone by May 11)

This is a short bill that references other areas of law and it needs work but the overall framework makes sense to me.

There’s a New Sheriff in Town. But Buffalo Area Jails Remain as Dangerous as Ever. - Bolts Despite federal oversight, elections, and promises of reform from a new sheriff, little has changed for people detained in Erie County jails.

Did you read about the blind refugee who was left to die in the Buffalo region?

NY’s AG is reportedly investigating the Buffalo sheriff’s office over this: www.investigativepost.org/2026/03/06/n...

We at Bolts reported on the frightening record of people dying under this office last year:

There are exceptions!

Jewish and Roma people come to mind...

Something I've deduced by absence of alternatives is that here in the New World we see belonging to nation like "Irish" or "Chinese" to be a memetic connection to a people that happened to be attached to a land and in the Old World it's being a part of a state's people.

We badly need to revive the War Declaration clause.
