Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.
My friends, they have lost the flag.

NEW: Three charter school districts’ superintendents are among the highest paid in Texas.
The same three districts have also had failing or near-failing performance ratings in recent years.

These Charter Superintendents Are Some of the Highest Paid in Texas. Their Districts Are Among the Lowest Performing.
Three charter school districts in Texas underreported the compensation paid to their top leaders. The same three districts have also had failing or near-failing performance ratings in recent years.

NYT has one of those dummies panels again today, which, fine, whatever, people think what they think, but the NYT treats this as the wholly unvarnished thoughts of the masses and never asks where do these people get these ideas. Why do they think we spend tons of money in Ukraine for instance?

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker
The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.

To look at this and still argue the rightwing majority was seriously and justifiably concerned about universal injunctions rather than treating Democratic power completely different than the Trump regime because they are opposed to the former and very much aligned with the latter is just silly.
The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.
When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.
For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

Wild that right-wing families somehow aren’t to blame for their longstanding and systematic snubbing of queer and lefty children.

Recycling solar panels sounds like a no-brainer — but it’s costly, complex, and often not worth it economically.

Why recycling solar panels is harder than you might think − an electrical engineer explains
Recycling solar panels seems like a smart idea, but it’s complicated. Built to withstand years of wind and weather, solar panels are designed for strength, not easy breakdown.

Adding insult (and chaos) to injury imo is the way the Court keeps overriding lower courts' detailed orders blockung Trump's lawless behavior, like mass firing of federal workers, and gives literally no reason

Federal judges keep temporarily blocking Trump policies from taking effect. The Court’s six-justice conservative supermajority keeps riding gallantly to his rescue.

Some of my fellow Jews think a college kid wearing a kaffiyeh is a greater threat to their personal safety than an authoritarian government rounding up people to send to torture camps and the world's richest man who made a Nazi AI, and I'm really not sure what to say to them anymore.
