I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

#ICYMI: We've added eight previously missing disclosures from Justice Clarence Thomas to our Supreme Connections database. The newly added filings, which cover 1992 to 1999, reveal more than 100 gifts or travel-related reimbursements.

A possible relief in the NM et al v Musk and DOGE case, since Chutkan seems skeptical, ask them to write it down. Ask for relief where the DOGE folks are ordered to draft reports on any recommendations relating to cuts or RIFs to the appointed agency head.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

I stop reading any politician's post the second they use the word "must" because "must" is a highfalutin word that means "not me." None of these asshats would say "I must" no it's the royal we or someone else must, never themselves. Looking at you @adamschiff.com @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Did not expect to be a Macklemore fan, but after Hinds' Hall, Hinds' Hall 2, and now Fucked Up - I gotta say, this man puts his reputation, money, and skills to more ethical and just use than 99% of people with any level of influence on this planet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn9E...

Thought I'd write something about how Elon Musk has access to every expert he could possibly need to understand stuff, and yet appears to simply believe any random chud on ExTwitter spewing utter nonsense. And why journalists should ask him about that. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/13/s...

As a parent of two kids with special needs, I'm pretty damn excited to know that a racist billionaire who routinely uses the slur "r*tards" is destroying the federal department that's a bulwark for special education and support for disabled children.

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."

Hey @reclaimidaho.bsky.social here's an idea. Blitz ballot initiative. Everything from removing super majorities for bonds, legislator pay, state pay scales, education funding minimums, facilities fund creations, anti voucher programs. Do it all.

I know I'm basically at the bottom of an empty well right now in terms of getting attention (understandably), but I'm proud of this story and I think it's worth your time to take a break and read.

Netflix is insisting on reminding me that Rurouni Kenshin is coming to Netflix. So I must remind you not to watch it, no matter your fond memories. The creator is a pedophile that paid a $2000 fine and served less than a year in jail for possession of a TON of child pornography.
