Correction, Nov 13, 2024: This piece originally misstated that a piece of BlueSky lore referred to a "sensual hog named Alf." The meme is actually a reference to the genitalia of the 1980s sitcom character ALF.

USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable)
call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line
trans people deserve so much better

Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.
The bill passed only 216 to 214.
4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

How UMich is forcing a data center on Ypsilanti
The combined 144 acres the University seems to have settled on are agricultural or recreational use land. No one deserves to have their local park taken over by a data center.

Here are the people who stood and smiled and laughed as Trump went off on his racist rant. Shame on them. And shame on every last person who has spent the last decade downplaying and normalizing his obvious, constant bigotry.
OK I’ve put together the list. Shame on all of them:
Ford CEO Jim Farley
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa
General Motors plant manager John Urbanic
National Auto Dealers Association Chairman Tom Castriota
Transportation Sec Sean Duffy
Deputy transportation Sec Steven Bradbury

This is largely it. It didn't matter what Dems said or pushed. The GOP? Trump drove the narrative of what the Dems were supposedly "emphasizing", often claiming it was things they never ever supported. Meanwhile things like Project 2025 were often dismissed as Dems being hysterical
This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.
