BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

A YIMBY Theory of Power
Pro-housing advocates offer an analysis of class relations that is more sophisticated and has more explanatory power than the one held by many critics of the “abundance agenda.”

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Good reminder that the problem wasn't that there was a journalist in the chat, the problem is that they were using Signal for classified information. And everyone in the chat knew they were on Signal. Adding a journalist is just an extra layer of incompetence on top.
I made this to help.
1. Is the info classified?
→ No → You’re not breaking the law.
→ Yes ↓
2. Are all participants cleared and have a need-to-know?
→ No → You’re breaking the law.
→ Yes ↓
3. Are you in a SCIF?
→ No → You’re likely breaking the law.
→ Yes → You’re likely within legal bounds.

every single video I've seen of the hearing today, Democratic Senators (including ones I don't even like) were pounding the shit out of administration officials.
if the media will not play those clips, it's up to make them go viral, show our friends & family, etc.
They did something.
Reward them.

Might be a hot take, but I, for one, don't think you should be hauled off by a team of undercover cops simply for having written an op-ed they didn't like.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 website, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including raw polls, averages, model estimates & story dta. Totally unacceptable for a company (allegedly) doing journalism

i say this as someone who does research in this field: is it that "no one has any good idea of what to do about it" or that the people with good, effective ideas are ignored and drowned out by people with terrible ideas?
The far-right radicalization of young men (and almost exclusively young men) is a global phenomenon, and no one has any good idea of what to do about it.
