I wish @rbreich.bsky.social would get on board with this most of all.
Sigh. Once again, if you are warning us about fascism while posting on Substack you’re asking us to do work YOU 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 WILLING 👏 TO 👏 DO.

Can’t vouch that the first sentence is true, but the rest has the right idea
Europe and China are in Demographic death spiral. The thing that can help the US is immigration. With the current administration, who would want to come here. Especially if it costs big bucks. Is much rather live nextdoor to an immigrant than a MAGA. Much rather.

I love Chris Evans I love Steve Rogers I loved Chris Evans as Steve Rogers but god damn I can’t help but feel like it is both extremely racist and a sign of The Times that they passed the mantle of Captain America to a Black man and are now snatching it back in a desperate attempt to make more money

It is very important to me that we do not tell apartment complexes that they need fast chargers for EVs. They need level 2 chargers. Not more than is used by a dryer or electric range.

When you're charging overnight, you do not need crazy voltage.

So this "acknowledge they're complying with the spirit" thing is her lead-off! It's not some extemporaneous question that got bungled at the end of a long interview.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis fired back at a Georgia state Senate committee.

"But you see, I'm not Marjorie Taylor
Greene, I ain't going to quit in a month because somebody threatens me," Willis said.

Proof that Kaitlan Collins was conditioned to have no facial expression when not Grinch smirking

Alabama will do that to a person
- He didn't inherit historic inflation. It was and is 3%
- 400–600% drug prices are mathematically impossible
- Grocery prices are going up
- $18T investment is fiction (WH says $9.6T)
- $1.99 gas is false, lowest average is ~$2.40
- 25M invasion is false
- He did not settle 8 wars

UPDATE: Faith leaders were arrested by federal police outside San Francisco's immigration courthouse.

They had chained themselves to the building, blocking the entrance to shut it down to protest immigrant arrests.

It worked: By 11 a.m., the court was closed for the day.

Once more for the folks in the back: accessibility is a human right. Your web standards godfather shares thoughts on a small atrocity.
Accessibility is a human right, cruelty a human wrong.
Once more for the folks in the back. Calibri is easier than Times New Roman for folks with certain visual disabilities to read. That’s why the Biden Administration chose Calibri for their digital communications: to include more people and make life just a wee bit easier for the disabled. And who in their right mind could object to that? You know who, and they’re not in their right mind—unless you’re talking far-right.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

The Raiders should've been required to sell to the city of Oakland on returning from L.A., but now that they're in Vegas, they can keep 'em.

Sad to see jerseys and bumper stickers in the Bay, but on a layover I'll laugh at all the merch I'm never buying in the airport Raider Nation store
The Raiders should be sold off. Not to somebody else, I think it’s time to sell all the pieces like you’re closing a department store. Do you know how hard it’s been to find a franchise more disappointing than watching QPR leave the premier league forever in the 90s? I’m genuinely impressed

lol it’s so genuinely fun seeing Cory take decades of fluency in how these systems are broken and serve it up for a mainstream audiences. Even if you know “enshittification” well, this is worth the watch. And love to @eff.org! youtu.be/d2e-c9SF5nE

Just speed-ran the six-part podcast series on Citizens United and SpeechNow from @levernews.com. We don't have to wait if we focus on state action!
If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.
