Just saw in this report that Andrew Kloster deactivated his X account yesterday (@/ARKloster), so if someone wants to impersonate one of the Trump administration’s all-time most weirdo fucked up lawyers, set an alarm for 29 days from now and maybe the handle could be yours.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

If “affordable housing, decent insurance, not bullying minorities, and rich people actually having to pay taxes” are called socialism for forty years now, guess what you just did?

OMG: The government in the Abrego case is actually arguing that the crappy, triple hearsay evidence THEY brought shouldn't be considered. AND they say that if he's freed, and ICE detains him, the DoJ will suffer injury. THEN DON'T DETAIN HIM. lol storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just went looking for something at the excellent Hagley Digital Archives, and was greeted by the message below. They're being overrun by bots, as "AI systems increasingly target sites like ours to train machine learning models." The web is being murdered. So aggravating. digital.hagley.org

This is not a budget bill, it is a debt and deportation bill—and one built on the fascist foundation laid by the Heritage Foundation’s now-notorious Project 2025. https://trib.al/jw7Y71q

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

Damn—the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that a LOT of the reconciliation bill requires 60 votes to pass, including a massive assault on federal regulations and several heinous attacks on civil service protections. This effectively guts a big chunk of the bill. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

Cuomo’s biggest donors are cheering Trump on. These are the MAGA warmongers who would have his ear in City Hall.

it is really f---ing rich that ChatGPT keeps pilfering from my website where I've posted a decade's worth of writing critiquing blackboxing, "big tech," & providing examples of/recipes for alternative networks, small networks, slow networks, experimental/avant garde art, poetry, poetics, etc.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Still thinking about how six justices claimed that laws targeting transgender kids aren't sex discrimination. Skrmetti is part of the larger GOP project to redefine who gets to be a full citizen under the 14th Amendment. increasingly, the answer looks to be conservative white men and embryos.
