I haven't had representation in the house for almost a nine months now because my representative died, then my replacement representative died, and now Greg Abbott is refusing to call a special election so I can have an actual live representative in the House.

Fitting the "gerontocracy is all of our problems" theme of the moment, the margin between elected republicans and democrats in the house is razor thin, but deaths and hospitalizations among the democrats artificially increase the GOP margin and will until those seats can be filled by younger reps.

1. The Department of Health and Human Services has launched a national "snitch form" to report gender affirming care providers. The last few times state Republicans did this, they were overloaded with memes and Bee Movie scripts. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Progress—whether good or bad—is not inevitable. We can bend the arc of history towards justice. We can also block the path of the oppressors. The future isn’t written; we cannot give up the pen when faced with a sword.

Every American should know that the Chamber of Commerce and American Bankers Association literally teamed up with the Trump administration on Monday to end the CFPB rule limiting big credit card providers to an $8 late fee. Today, in light of the agreement, the rule was vacated.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

HAPPENING NOW: At the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, Judge Paula Xinis is set to begin a hearing on the government’s efforts – or lack thereof – to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident who was wrongly removed to El Salvador. Follow along for updates ⬇️

I don’t think you can summarize the fatal problem with modern liberalism any better than “My issue with the way people are being deported and disappeared is procedural.”

There aren’t special “Fascism Is Here Now” banners that get unfurled to signal the end of democracy. We're there now. Trump is defying a 9–0 Supreme Court order. Schumer said this was his red line. If he won't act, we need to replace him with a leader who will. newrepublic.com/article/1940...

If you take this article at face value, you'd get the impression that a conservative takeover of a university isn't a big deal. But that's because the only people interviewed are the ones who stayed--because THEIR academic work wasn't directly threatened. And survivor bias is powerful propaganda.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

I wish this was mentioned more often in news reports & on bsky: The most famous act of defiance by a president against the Supreme Court was when Andrew Jackson forcibly removed thousands of Indigenous people, a murderous display now known as the Trail of Tears www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/par...

Seeing a room full of older white Iowans yelling at Grassley to bring a wrongfully imprisoned Maryland dad back to his family just breaks my brain in a good way. Like what the fuck is happening man this is not the demo I thought I'd see making this noise and Dems need to capitalize on this.

Remember that Trump’s own undocumented workers — oh yeah, his businesses have hired and exploited the same folks he’s demonized for political gain — paid more in taxes than he did: americasvoice.org/press_releas... #TaxDay

There’s an Icelandic way of saying of “I’m gonna kick your arse” that translates to “I will take you to the bakery.” A Hungarian version is “you’re prying open the lid of the slap-crate.” And the most colourful threat I’ve come across in Urdu… “my foot is in your butt’s destiny”
