I work in TV whatever that means now. Cinephile. News junkie. Treehugger. Brooklyn NY. Hating on fascists and authoritarians. I follow tons of folks to grow a great news/culture feed for myself to read, so there.

Opposition leader and CHP head Ozgur Ozel said he planned to make Saturday rallies a weekly feature in cities across Turkey,
He was "ready to take the risk of spending eight to 10 years in prison if necessary. Because if we don't stop this attempted coup, it will mean the end of the ballot box."

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

Dear Senators Shaheen, Hassan and King: While I disagree with the deal you negotiated, I respect you.
But GOP Senators do not respect you. They spat in your faces by secretly including a corrupt provision to pay 8 GOP Senators.

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.
And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?
Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

For anyone who was sleeping, major political news last night: a judge chose a new map for Utah that will deliver a seat to Democrats.
Major point in Dems’ favor that effectively neuters the GOP’s move in Missouri, much like California countered Texas.

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

Two things about the spider were unique:
they lived in caves & laid cubic eggs.
So he called them genus 'Plato', and that's the nerdiest thing I have read all year.
