This is awesome. Print is such a good way to get around a bunch of distribution (and surveillance!) mechanisms that seem otherwise mandatory in this very gross economy. It is really nice to see it spelled out like this.
It works great for us, and it'll work great for other places!

we're doing debaathification on the troops, we're doing it very strongly. like nobody has seen before, frankly,
Conservatives are trying to cut VA benefits for nearly seven million veterans, claiming the current disability compensation encourages veterans to stay sick and cheat the system. From Suzanne Gordon and Steve Early:

Trump Is Coming for Veterans’ Disability Benefits - The American Prospect
The veterans disability system has traditionally been a sacred cow for politicians of all stripes. Now, as part of the conservative war on the Department of Veterans Affairs, the administration is falsely alleging that many former soldiers are cheating the system.

The chief goal of the Trump regime's operations murdering people in the Caribbean is to foster bloodlust in their supporters—to turn them into debased monsters like this ghoul.

Persistently annoyed by liberal refusal to see the longstanding system of immigration, the one that effectively places undocumented workers outside of the protections of labor law and subjects them to racial terror, as a strategy of labor discipline that affects all workers.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:

We Should Have Finished Reconstruction: A Brief History Of American Politics, 1865-2025
While the outcome should be clear from the plain text of the Constitution, the central project of this court and Administration, together, is to nullify the reconstruction amendments
The Supreme Court Friday agreed to decide whether President Donald Trump can unilaterally limit the constitutional right to citizenship granted to virtually every person born in the United States. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I am not convinced that the Supreme Court will come not come up with a nakedly partisan reason to reject these maps but (1) Dems should do them anyway and (2) defy federal court orders to the contrary
Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia.
They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana.
Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this
