If you're going to a protest and you don't want the feds to hack into your phone while your there.

They can track you and your phone and charge you later for even just being there. $24 bucks well spent.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

A perfect ending to this year.
NFL going out of their way to force-schedule 3 games on Christmas Day featuring 5 of the best teams last year only to end up with matchups with 5 teams whose season is already over and will be starting backups is the holiday spirit we all needed

I’m concerned that the relentless continuation of these murders marks a first step in normalizing the following of illegal orders.
The U.S. military just announced another strike on a boat it claims was smuggling drugs near Venezuela, again without evidence. One more person dead. Over 100 killed so far.
Trump also threatened the president of Colombia.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social , please consider instead running for governor of Texas. We can’t have two of the brightest stars of the new progressive movement battling each other.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

The SC has judicial review because they decided they do (Marbury v Madison 1803), not because the Constitution says they do. If they continue to base decisions on politics rather than law, they will quickly become irrelevant. And we will not be required to abide by their decisions.
My concern is that the originalists on the Supreme Court will try everything possible to interpret it to fit their own narrative.
There isn’t much our Supreme Court can do. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.
