I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Why doesn't this dickhead herb change parties and slim the margin even further? why don't a couple "concerned" Republicans do this? Because they don't give a shit, they're there for the money and the influence

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.

- See someone on the street with armed drone following them - Look at them the wrong way, drone shoots you - Lawsuit and settlement denied because company algo shows you looked "threatening" - Die The future is an increasingly paranoid society with endless excuses for immediate violence

LLMs are the great dunce mask-off moment. If you think these things are magical you are credulous beyond redemption. How would a person who doesn't have the knowledge have the ability to tell between correct and incorrect answers? How would they know what to ask?

Abysmal that VA isn't on this list, state democrats need to emphasize that during the Gov/LtGov/AG races this year. Fuck Youngkin and Miyares

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"

The thing to remember is that no matter what they do, and no matter how hard they try, trans people will always be around to spit on the sad, lonely graves of these repulsive freaks.

It's going to be a long four years, especially if we make ourselves insane misreading budget documents. This is a story where multiple things are true at the same time and it's a warning about how we consume information going forward gizmodo.com/the-400-mill...

Firing prosecutors who are pursuing brutal white supremacists is of a piece with the anti-DEI orders, as segregationist social orders are maintained through law enforcement winking at violence.

Reminder: there is nothing feminist about transphobia. There is no “protection” of women in demonizing our trans community. And there is no way forward for a society that pretends to care about one group by hating another.
