Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

The consensus of macroeconomists globally is that the techbros and Trump are driving the markets towards a Crédit Mobilier-type meltdown in which they will profit massively, but the financial system will be devastated. www.ft.com/content/fe47...

I do think we can now forever bury the argument that the main purpose of the Second Amendment is to give the good patriots of the land the means to defend against tyrannical government.

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.

The pope has instructed U.S. bishops to take a stronger public stand against the president’s hardline immigration policies

It's one thing to be politically divided into red states and blue states. We are now being militarily divided into red states and blue states. It's crossing the Rubicon, a bright-red flashing warning that the constitutional order is coming unglued, in a way that will have monumental consequences. /x

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

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

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

The decline of reading among American teenagers is a grave indicator of the decline of literacy.

Masked ICE agents are violating the 4th Amendment blatantly. The amendment isn't foggy. It doesn't say "citizens." It says "the right of the people" to be secure in their persons and homes. Sue them as John Does. You can if they violate your constitutional rights. I would. See Bivens lawsuit.

Legacy newspapers: "Print media is dying, and the public will suffer for it."

Also legacy newspapers: "We can't offend the government with information and framing that helps the public."

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Remember when the Boston Globe ran this supposedly over-the-top front page to attack the idea of Trump ever being president, and now this is just the news every day? We've fallen so, so far because of this man
