"nonviolent resistance is in the big picture and the long term the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will & they'll lie and distort no matter what." Great msg from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social for #NoKings

The Trump 2024 campaign apparently coordinated its canvassing activities in Wisconsin with outside groups, but failed to report its spending or donors. The FEC must close this loophole and work to ensure voters have access to more information, not less.

One of the attendees at President Trump's astoundingly corrupt memecoin dinner was He Tianying, a member a government body which seeks to broaden the CCP's influence. Trump never should have been selling presidential access to the highest bidder.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Worth noting LBJ used the National Guard to protect and expand civil rights; DJT is doing exactly the opposite.

We were on the cusp of an immense breakthrough: A cure to our HIV epidemic. A vaccine to prevent one of the world’s deadliest diseases. Until RFK Jr. defunded vaccine trials because a cure to HIV isn't as important as tax breaks for rich people like Big Pharma CEOs.

I can say with authority that it's a particular form of hell to expend yourself writing a 12 page NIH grant for the past 3 months without the assurance that NIH will actually be there to evaluate it. But even worse is having a proposal funded, then a bunch of bros get it recinded. #neuroskyence
