Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

I've spent a lot of time rambling around Oregon's second district, which takes up two thirds of our state and is as rural and Republican as it gets... if they're shouting "tax the rich" and "tax Elon" in LaGrande, something is definitely happening here.

Incredibly chilling and clear-eyed piece from @frank-bowman.bsky.social spelling out the implications of Trump’s latest executive orders—which, stripped of their muddled legalese, essentially anoint him as a monarch with absolute power. slate.com/news-and-pol...

He keeps asking white people if they want (im)plausible deniability for their racism and they keep gobbling it up like they’re starving None of this is complicated; all of it is simple.

Why have Enrique Tarrio's crypto investments not been transferred to the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church? AME is owed a $2.8 million default judgment entered against the Proud Boys stemming from their December 2020 attack. A debtor's exam should be ordered against Tarrio.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Quite the gall to stand there and compare people sitting down at a town hall meeting to January 6th insurrectionists, too.

The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she is tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.

An excellent deep dive intp the dats behind FIRE's "campus free speech" rankings. You won't be surprised to learn they are bullshit, riddled with errors and willful misrepresentions. This is not a serious organization and we would stop treating it as such. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

I think this is true for a lot of them (Zuck definitely), but I don’t know that this is it in Musk’s case. His actions indicate a man who is a) possessed of a savior complex about the human race, and b) zoinked out of his fucking gourd on ket

It’s all $100/MWh. Every solution to meet concentrated data center load. Once we all agree than we can compare solutions at scale against each other to meet 25,000 MWs of concentrated load needed by 2030 across the country.
