Leading Colorado Republicans are blaming Democrats for the antisemitic terror attack in Boulder. Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinksy says Gov Jared Polis and other state leaders are not really Jewish and belong to a “demonic cult.” #copolitics

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

This is harrowing. Thank goodness for these observant bystanders! Do you know the universal sign for help? I didn’t. As more young men fall victim to the Tates & misogynists of the world, we all need to be more aware! See below for the signal. ⬇️ 🧵 (posted on IG by @juliettelewis.bsky.social)

Trump’s advisers have given up trying to restrict his phone use. His personal cellphone has become, @ashleyrparker.bsky.social and @michaelscherer.bsky.social write, “the most pivotal technological device in the federal government, directly linking Trump to the outside world.”

Recession indicator.

#GVerse #FuckJoniErnst: In her first remarks since insulting voters with her "We are all going to die" remark, Sen. Ernst ran from reporters, saying “I’m very compassionate, and you need to listen to the entire conversation. The Tooth Fairy wouldn't even believe her. 🤣 #RunJoniRun 👀

Bill Gates will spend most of his wealth on improving health and education services in Africa over the next 20 years, the billionaire Microsoft co-founder pledged today.

Oh… So Donald Trump and his cronies tell people that going to college isn’t necessary… Yet then they proceed to shut down Job Corps centers so people can’t learn trades anymore? Vile.

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

The fact that Fort Worth Texas has a back log of over 900 rape kits they 'don't have time' to test, but Texas Sheriffs did have the time to spend a month tracking a woman who MIGHT have been going out of state for an abortion tells you all you need to know about what Texas thinks about women..

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1924: The Indian Citizenship Act is signed into law, conferring citizenship on all Native Americans born within the territorial limits of the U.S. The courts had previously ruled that the 14th Amendment did not apply to Native Americans. /1

So Curtis Yarvin is not only in the New Yorker this week, he’s also on CNN talking about how the United States should be a monarchy and how “certain [unspecified by the reporter] races” would be better at governing.

CNN went from saying Democrats were leading in their polling as the party of the middle class by 2 but saying it’s basically a tie to just flat out calling it a tie a day later.

The Supreme Court declined to take up a pair of gun-rights cases Monday, leaving in place Maryland’s ban on semiautomatic military-style rifles and Rhode Island’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines.

Trump wins the appeals court lottery in D.C. The panel hearing emergency appeals this month appears to be: Rao, Katsas, Walker. All three are Trump appointees — in fact the only Trump appointees on the DC Circuit. They are handling one of the key tariff appeals.

Henceforth please refer to the Senator from Iowa as Joni Hearse

Harvard University told a judge it has a trove of internal Trump administration documents that show the White House directed the abrupt freezing of more than $2 billion in federal funds headed to the university’s research programs, in violation of federal law.

Abrego Garcia’s lawyers are back in court with a brief that unstintingly puts the government on a collision course with the courts’ authority. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Mike Lindell is ranting and raving outside his trial today in the Dominion case. He claims that he’s being railroaded because Colorado deleted all the evidence that he needs to win the case, and said that Satan is behind the whole thing.

Republican lawmakers in Missouri are trying to trick voters into banning abortion again, just months after voters protected it. It’s a reminder that conservatives don’t want them to have a say on abortion, contributor ‪‪@susanrinkunas.com‬ ‬ writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/to-i...

And this is what I mean about backlash.

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.
