I love when people use that canva flyer template with a “queer witchy rave with wellness tents” vibe, only to share, say, a list of food pantries for people whose snap has been cut off, or a blood drive at the office

It really is déjà vu because they did the same exact thing months ago, and years ago, never with the slightest personal consequences. Schumer will feast lavishly tonight, maybe even at the same dinner party as his Republican "opponents."
God the number of times I have been through this with the same damned bus of clowns in the senate. They need to go.

Every day that federal workers continue to show up to work without pay is a testament to how thoroughly decimated the American labor movement is and how much organizing work remains to be done

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

Literally the one place in the country where Democrats got their clock cleaned was in the home county of state chair who refused to endorse Mamdani and has generally overseen a string very poor democratic performances.
Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Cops arrested my elementary school teacher in front of the class for unpaid tickets. This is the country we live in
I think this is a legitimately important question for the future of the polity. People whose first memories are under authoritarian regimes often end up scarred and skeptical of government authority for life. It will be tricky to convince some of these toddlers that government can be good
How many kids first experience of the state will be of masked men grabbing people?

A Tennessee appeals court had upheld a shaken baby conviction, despite pleas to overturn by the DA’s office and a recantation by the medical examiner who testified for the prosecution.

Dissenting from the court’s majority, one judge sounded the alarm about ignoring recanted forensic testimony, saying the medical examiner’s reversal “calls into doubt the foundation of the trial.”

I obtained a report funded by the Pentagon under Obama on drug cartels. Researchers interviewed dozens of high-level traffickers in US custody, then tailored what they were told to what the generals wanted to hear

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:
The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme
Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.
