Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying Trump nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to confirm them.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

New Quinns Quest video!! 📺👻🌵

Public Access by the Gauntlet is razor sharp, powerfully strange and enormously thought-provoking. My players are still daydreaming about our campaign, even though it finished six months ago. I think your players will too.

Hope you'll read my report the upcoming trial — I'll be watching closely. www.ms.now/news/antifa-...
Trump wants to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists. This Texas trial will test his power.
A July 4 shooting at an ICE detention center could change the way the federal government prosecutes activists.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Oh good
NEW: The next US Census likely won’t be good for New York. The state is projected to lose two congressional seats, and with them, two electoral votes for president.

One reason why blue states are losing ground: The red states build far more housing than they do.
New York Could Lose Seats in Congress Because It Won’t Build Housing
As housing construction booms in red states, blue states are falling behind. That will likely boost Republicans in federal politics.

An extremely urgent reason why California needs to go all out to get more housing built...rather than slow-walk things like SB 79, as some local governments want.

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

My strongest held take about the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is that you should look up whether there are any interesting primaries to get involved with on the state and local level this year.

To take this a step further, AI, as actually implemented, exists to increase the ruling class's money and power, destroy human creativity and critical thinking, and fail at basic tasks.

That's *serfdom*. Leftists shouldn't embrace serfdom even if it has a really good marketing plan!!
full skepticism and abolition of AI as currently envisioned is the only rational response, if there is a "use" for AI beyond making billionaires richer and destroying society, then I'll accept some compromises

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

It's not enough to tell people to be "outraged." What precisely is it that you want them to DO? This is where so much falls apart and where a number of people fall short. Part of it is that people do not actually know what they want people to do; the other part is that it's DIFFICULT to organize ppl
