The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

Congrats to the class of '77. I was a hopeless Red Sox fan starting with their playoff run in '75, and remember the Blue Jays and Mariners showing up in the league together. Now "the new kids" will battle for a spot in the World Series.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

E-bikes are an absolute game-changer in terms of giving more people the option of going car-light or car-free, but adoption is threatened by the ongoing moral panic. As the article notes, the solution is not restrictions on e-bikes, but creating more infrastructure to support e-bike riders. 1/2
“The e-bike market is skyrocketing — and, according to some studies, outpacing electric cars…The question now is: Do officials double down on deadly car-centric urban design, or do they rethink cities to encourage people to ditch four wheels for two?”

E-bikes could cut carbon, congestion, and costs — if cities take them seriously
E-bike sales are booming, providing a clean form of transportation that also improves public health. Yet cities remain committed to cars.

NEW: The SEC quietly dismissed complaints against 3 people who were granted clemency by Trump for frauds that collectively bilked victims out of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now, Devon Archer, Trevor Milton & Carlos Watson won't have to pay any money that could be used to make victims whole.

Amazing coverage of multi-billion dollar Medicare fraud and abuse, directly connected to multi-million dollar donation's to Trump's SuperPAC.
1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC

Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.
Days after $5 million donation to MAGA Inc., Trump freezes Medicare waste crackdown
Trump pledged to root out "waste, fraud and abuse." Then a big contribution to his Super PAC came in.

I was with my family, enjoying a burger and a Heady Topper at a farm-to-table pub in Burlington Vermont. We were sitting at a window table watching the streetscape when Bernie Sanders walked by, practically within arms reach, chatting with another gentleman (possibly his son.)
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Last week, the State Department published a Substack post accusing European allies of destroying democracy. I looked into the author, and found out that he was a disciple of Adrian Vermeule who believed in infiltrating the bureaucracy to undermine liberalism

STOP: Don’t panic–organize!

@thefreeradical.org and I consulted for weeks with experts about the bill attacking Medicaid for trans people.

We find that advocates can still kill the bill or mitigate its impacts through direct action and community solidarity. 🧵👇🏽
