nevermind the more particular complaints about this map, i'm not trusting a map that identifies four cultural regions of alaska and puts all of hawaii into one.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

I honestly can’t bring myself to read this but I do think it’s very important for people in the US to remember that this is happening right now because of our government.

extraordinary stupidity is the most likely reason for anything Bondi says or does.

Denise Wheeler @denisedwheeler.bsky.social · 15h

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

The Kavanaugh Stops will continue until we have racially segregated every middle-lower class bulding’s residential population in every major city.

Congratulations, Brett. You’ve done a Prigg v. Pennsylvania.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race
