Axios and WaPo reported yesterday that the military took down webpages celebrating Native American history. It looks like the purge was much more widespread, however — TPM found many pages describing the military's racial integration have also been removed. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/pentago...

One of the things that is totally lost on Carville is that conservatives will never believe that you aren’t secretly connected with <insert marginalized group>. It’s just that when you trash them, you send the message that you won’t fight for what you believe in and you’re a fake piece of shit.

My brain literally cannot comprehend all of the bad stuff that just happened today so instead: scholastic book fair now has online wallets that you can use for your kiddos at the book fair- but also, you can donate to “share the fair” so others w/o can get books.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟

The thing that gets me most about the passport stuff is that it has no functional purpose beyond harassment of an already marginalized population. It makes precisely no one safer. It creates additional work for bureaucrats and results in inaccurate gov't identity documents.

Gym is not a personality. It’s barely a hobby. It’s got a lot of elements of eating disorder and body dysmorphic disorder. Cap at 4 hrs/week Job is not a personality. Most dude to dude advice is between homosocial and homoerotic. It’s what men want in other men, not what women want. Read Romances.

Yep: politicians need to represent their constituents and listen to their views, but politicians also need to have strong convictions and principles and should work on convincing the electorate of the correctness of those moral positions, too.

I can see Schumer’s position that a shutdown would let Trump seize more power and that that’s not worth it (I disagree but I can see his point) but to not negotiate and force some concessions on immigration, speech, and other issues was a total abdication of responsibility.

it really pisses me off that the DOGE people don't appreciate that when you have a system that deals with 300,000,000 people, an error rate of 0.1% is 300,000 people, and if the system is a matter of life, death, and your entire financial existence, that's not a mistake you can make.

nearly every change made to american public schooling in decades has been to produce uneducated, fearful citizens without critical thinking skills or awareness of the world other than america. there's a reason the "my kid went to college and came back a LIBERAL" is such a stereotype

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

The judge is ordering the Trump administration to turn planes around that had already departed. Either the executive branch will comply or it won't. If it won't, then you're looking straight down the barrel of a dictatorship.

The entire @schumer.senate.gov strategy seems to be opposition by pithy skeet or waiting for midterms that may or may not be allowed to happen. This weak response to our slide into fascism is making the @democrats.org a party of submission, not a party of opposition. Time for new leadership.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.
