Iowa Republicans blocked a Satanic Temple holiday display AGAIN because "anything that is not God first" is harmful to children.
(Yes, they actually said that.)
This is what the collapse of “religious freedom” looks like.

The Myth of a Rightward Realignment
Let’s discard some stubborn misconceptions about Trump’s support and what happened in the 2024 election. They are only obscuring our understanding of a profound de-alignment.

Old enough to remember Very Serious Journalists who lapped up the Nuzzi piece on Biden last summer as gospel and if you think anyone in that category is going to offer a mea culpa you’ve got another thing coming.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

This is fantastic reporting on Siembra’s work here in Charlotte. Other groups were active as well (especially Carolina Migrant Network). The resistance to and resilience against CBP’s assault wasn’t about meemaws with guns but this kind of organizing as well as organic responses from the community.

Even better, this research is being done outside the U.S., so Health and Human Services head Bobby "Brain Worm" Kennedy can't shut it down.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

In Vitale’s book, he writes: “The problem is not police training, police diversity, or police methods. The problem is the dramatic and unprecedented expansion and intensity of policing in the last 40 years, a fundamental shift in the role of police in society. The problem is policing itself.”

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

Wow, USCIS didn't even wait a hot minute. The U.S. Constitution guarantees individualized guilt and due process. Collective punishment (the harming or penalizing of people for actions they didn’t commit) violates these principles.

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
