USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Hundreds of residents signed up for FEMA buyouts after Hurricane Helene. Not one has been approved.

More than a year after applying for a federal buyout, many North Carolina homeowners have heard almost nothing definitive.

Can we also make sure to condemn spreading the victims' names and identities? Many of them are still alive and not doing News interviews and on TV for VERY GOOD REASONS. Also... exposing the identities of victims of violent crime to the masses often puts victims in danger.

Bari only pulled this program after the promos started airing, which means she probably got a phone call. So she's not just bad at her ostensible job of running CBS news, but she's also bad at her *actual* job of running interference for the Trump admin
CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

I keep thinking about how important this is, and who benefits from the narrative that only a guy named Edward can be the hero who intervened to protect Jewish lives, not a guy named Ahmed
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.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Worth remembering that Trump is not just an authoritarian, but a fascist authoritarian.
Fascism boils down to the belief that there's a "natural" order where the physically strong violently dominate the weak.
If a fascist strongman's base perceives him as enfeebled, he is politically fucked

…propagandize about Trump’s “stamina.” This is a taxpayer funded messaging operation aimed at propping up a sagging authoritarian cult of personality.

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying
"the USPS is a miracle. it's in the constitution. for the price of a single stamp you can send a letter across the country, from Hawaii to Maine. Trump is trying to take that away from you. He's attacking Christmas cards and wedding invitations. It's un-American and it has to stop."
