A bill proposed by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds was pitched as a way to improve ways for veterans to receive their benefits. However, members of the Iowa Association of County Veterans Services disagree with that statement.

Under proposed legislation here in Iowa, my retweeting of this would cost me my teaching license – if I were a teacher.
even if there was good reason to set aside his repellant past i don't know why we have to treat the people like him and kirk who cut their teeth arguing with 19 year olds well into their thirties like members of a serious intellectual tradition

We are never getting Medicare for All with mutual aid. We are getting it with Big Government.
In all of human history, it has always taken Big Government in all its might to redistribute income from the wealthy to the poor, to pay doctors and nurses to care for those who need care.

Some years ago, I was chatting with a Retropolis reader, a young history student, and I mentioned there were several dozen people enslaved in New Jersey up until the day the 13th Amendment kicked in in December 1865.
Y’all. He identified every one of them.

"Race traitor" conforms to the law that every accusation is a confession.
People willl write a lot about the surnames of these agents, but as I wrote in Police and the Empire City, immigrants and descendants that become cops do so for social, cultural, and racial mobility—becoming “whiter” by proving they can do racial violence on behalf of the state, even against kin.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

A depraved and defining characteristic of the regime is how much of a death cult it is.
federal immigration enforcement should legitimately be low risk and mostly paperwork, they’ve turned it into paramilitary work (without paramilitary training) because they’re hoping ICE and CBP officers get killed on camera

It should be noted Wyoming pols are kicking around the idea of shrinking the state supreme court (which recently vacated two abortion bans).

@joshmallow.bsky.social is 1000% correct here. With this move, the GOP are without a doubt saying that court expansion is fine.
I did not support SCOTUS expansion until probably 2-3 years ago but I totally support it now and this makes clear, there are zero excuses next time we have the Senate!
