lol once again going to plug the Review of Black Political Economy, which is the premier journal for Black economic scholarship:
Hey, so if folks are interested in Black economic thought, may I suggest the Review of Black Political Economy?
It's a journal that features lots of Black policy and economic research. It's existed since 1970. The work in this journal is under cited, but shouldn't be. #econsky #blacksky

look i'm not an "impeach the cheeto!!!!" guy but if this is in fact what happened I'm not really sure what other political response is more prudent
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Just so we’re ALL clear: the President of the United States made death threats toward sitting Democratic members of Congress.
But they’re always claiming Democrats are the dangerous ones, right?

Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them.
Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts
“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.”

Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful".
For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really?

also worth noting how much racism made everything mentioned in this thread possible.
A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”
