A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Whenever a Republican politician defends a bizarre courts-related bill in the name of "efficiency," it's a pretty good bet that the real purpose of that bill is to ensure that high-stakes political cases end up before conservative judges who will rule how Republicans want

In several states, GOP lawmakers are pushing proposals to route high-stakes cases to judges who are friends of the conservative movement.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

The word "Congress" is no where to be found in this NYT piece. The reporters/editors don't seem to care I guess and oh BTW ...

this "would be at least the seventh American military attack in another country in the past year, and his second on Iran."

As massive US military assets are deployed to the Middle East to use in an attack on Iran perhaps as early as this weekend, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have not a word to say about the approaching war. No demand for debate, hearings or a resolution to authorize or disapprove the new war.

Yarvin mocks Trump regime officials for failing to understand the measures they would need to take to end representative democracy in the United States.

That Yarvin is a close personal friend of the vice president is, for some reason, not a story.

The rush to indict the 6 Dems failed with the grand jury voting unanimously against it. The Keystone Kops nature of all this, however, should not blind us to how dangerous it remains. Trump will keep trying to jail Dems until he succeeds.

4-5 years ago there were MDs like Lucy McBride crowing about the urgency of normal, getting kids back to school. There were PR hacks like David Zweig supporting them. Now kids are being sent to immigration detention, getting measles & these folks are nowhere to be found. It was never about the kids.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.
