Scary.

American democracy began in 1965. It will end in 2026 when the Roberts Court overturns the Voting Rights Act.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Hunh! She was disabled, I believe, but I never noticed that in her books! I shall have to reread!

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

This is the bill my rep’s office people hadn’t heard of yet! It’s garbage. Call your reps and make them aware of how bad it is.

He is insane.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

I don’t believe they are precise.

Russia’s war shattered the rules — and the Middle East is feeling it.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says the erosion of international law began with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

if the US government logs these trees at the rate / quantity they're proposing, we'll lose one of the last old-growth forests. there's no coming back from that. if you have five minutes to leave a comment pushing back against the BLM, please do; there's a guide to that below.

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

And should be illegal.

Absolutely.

Catherine Beecher is the perfect choice to juxtapose with Charlie Kirk. In the era when American women began advocating for suffrage, Beecher was a prominent anti-suffragist.

If “Wait, Wait” is preempted on your station due to breaking news, you can find it as a podcast. Great ep from from the campus of IU (not UI) in Bloomington, IN with Olympic champion Lily King. There are farts.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I wish to secede from this country.

This administration is telling every AI company in the country, your ethics stop where our desire for unchecked power begins. Refuse to build systems for dragnet surveillance and autonomous killing, and we will come after your bottom line—an authoritarian incentive structure. #holdfast

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.
