The Texas legislature just passed a bill mandating that classrooms display the Ten Commandments. Drawing from @kevinmkruse.bsky.social, I talk about how this is based in a libertarian and Hollywood movement in the 1950s. The Ten Commandments Were Always Political youtu.be/GTverj2GHG0

Much of the media will hold Democrats accountable for the words of a random liberal online but give Republicans a free pass on the white nationalists and conspiracy theorists they actually meet with in person and follow online.

Absolutely horrifying. Note that at the end of the piece we learn that the UN staff member was reportedly beaten to death, not shot from a distance.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

This decision is incredibly significant for federal employees. That an appellate court actually said this out loud is incredible and really shows the public how horrific this Administration has been with respect to destroying the rule of law and the surrounding protections.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
