I watched a great 1930's screwball comedy last night. _Midnight_ with Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, and John Barrymore. Not absolute top tier among classic screwball comedies but very very good and definitely worth a watch.

Good piece laying bare the either A) outright partisan or B) wildly incompetent nature of the consevative majority of SCOTUS's ruling on gerrymandering in Texas
The Supreme Court is the place where America's nine wisest judges gather in a room to decide that, under the law, state lawmakers get a free pass to racially gerrymander their states, as long as they wait until the election is a couple months away
A Thoughtful Child Could Spot the Problem With the Supreme Court’s Sloppy Pro-Gerrymandering Decision
The shadow docket order in the Texas redistricting case provides state lawmakers with step-by-step instructions for drawing discriminatory maps without having to worry about judicial review.

For decades, right-wing groups have been fighting to access private voter roll information—data they see as critical in their long war to establish unproven claims of rampant voter fraud.
But today, it’s Trump’s Justice Department at the forefront of this mission.

Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data
The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

The foreign-born fraction of the US population was 15% in 1890, and in 1910. America thrived.
That fraction is 16% now.
The difference is that in 1890/1910, >96% of immigrants were from Europe or Canada. Today that's less than 10%.
It's best to be honest about one one is actually afraid of.

Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.
Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.
Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.

This is the same quagmire Rs got stuck in during Trump I. Free market = better, European-style = bad, taxes = bad. The idea that people might just want the government to take care of something so they're not on the phone for months getting fucked over does not compute.
Putting the deafening sexism aside, i still don’t understand this weird US insurance concept that you can choose ahead of time what ills and accidents your family is going to get hit by, and how much you want to pay for it… that’s literally not how life works.

interesting to see her leaning on the argument that pro-palestinian voices are unfamiliar with the relevant history, as if any amount of historical context could justify what's happening in palestine
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

What's galling here is her subtext: she intimates that if people only knew 'Israel's story' somehow the genocidal ethnic cleansing could be justified. The whole thing is so disturbing, trying to blame young people, tiktok, youtube, to dismiss Palestinian grievances as propaganda.
