Something hopeful: We're 61 electoral votes away from passing the National Popular Vote compact. If, say, PA, NC, VA, MI pass the law, 272 electoral votes will be decided by the national popular vote. The legislative process is underway in those states. www.nationalpopularvote.com/state-status

I'm in favor of not dying in a gulag because DOJ Special Constabulary JD Vance doesn't think I expressed enough fealty to our beautiful president.

With some luck Trump's hefty list of egregious LIES will have longer media legs and overshadow Biden's stumbles in the news cycle. youtu.be/HgbIbS0Iigs?...

Every now and then it's nice to read an article about something going right in this crazy political environment we find ourselves in. (short read) www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...

New York City turns retired power station into something incredible: 'Able to power more than 10,000 households'www.thecooldown.com The site of the old Arthur Kill Power Station on Staten Island is being transformed into the city's largest battery storage facility.

Yet more RW projection as they try to claim Dems, Atheists and LGBTs are pedophiles.

👹It's not only a #Catholic #priest thing; it's an overall white #Christian #clergy thing. Turns out that, just like historically, the most abusive group in 21st C. Amerika are white #Evangelical #Christians. 🔴💀🔴 No wonder these serial sexual abusers support serial sexual abuser #Trump.

Opinion | Evangelicals need to focus on church's sexual abuse epidemic, not just Trump or drag queensapple.news There is a clear pattern of abusive and at times criminal behavior among pastors and other leaders in a growing list of evangelical congregations.

Billionaire Harlan Crow has spent over $13 million on federal politics since the 2010 Citizens United ruling. That’s on top of the years he spent secretly dolling out free vacations to Clarence Thomas. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Republicans see a dead heat in Arizona Senate racewww.axios.com The campaign arm of Senate Republicans told donors in a memo obtained by Axios that polling showing Republican Kari Lake losing is "misleading."

Corporate profits drove more than half of recent US inflation. What's the GOP’s response? They don't just want to extend Trump's tax cuts for the rich, they want lower corporate taxes too. They're fine with corporations siphoning money from you and keeping more of the spoils.

This guy is seriously strange, as you can tell from ANY interview with him. Turns out he's one of those secretly gay, anti-gay, homophobic preacher types. Seems to be a popular pattern these days. youtu.be/y23idoQeCtc?... Pakman has a few other interviews with him if you search. Very weird guy

A lot of us have been counting up (& this is way out of date for Trump). That said, there seems to be a trend (GOP vs Dem)? 🙄

Love it !

A good read and IMO the crux of many (most?, all?) of our societal ills.

‘Everybody has not won’: trickle-down economics was an idiotic idea. How do we fix the inequality it causes? (The Conversation)l.smartnews.com In his 2024 State of the Union address, US president Joe Biden announced his plans for a bold set of tax reforms. Tax on corporations would go up. Deduc...

Very good article, well worth the read.

The anti-reality industry pushes lies about abortion, climate, COVID, gender-affirming care, race, sex, evolution, education & more, and it's all connected 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/we-m... @seattlebryn.bsky.social traces the intersectional awfulness on Scientific American

We Must Face Down the Expanding Anti-Reality Industrywww.scientificamerican.com Exposing the antiscience playbook reveals the antiregulatory motives of its deep-pocketed bankrollers

IDT that even if we gave the Dems full control they would have the chutzpah, gumption or spine that the GOP has in spades to actually do what's needed to fix this problem. They're very big on dithering around the edges. (at least the current crop)

Justice Sotomayor using her annual pre-June public talk to give a barely veiled warning that the Supreme Court is about to do some truly terrible things www.nytimes.com/2024/05/24/u...

Thom Hartmann has written and spoken about this very thing frequently. He refers often to the Lewis Powell memo (1971) which lays out the oligarchic scheme. Here's a short article as a taste but lots more if you search it out. www.salon.com/2017/10/17/t...

It's been a strategy since the 1970s and really gained momentum 10-15 yrs ago when Project 2025 began to take shape. It's the Democrats Achilles heel for ignoring it for too long. It's how the extreme right, infiltrating school boards & municipalities are able to changed policies at the local level.

Almost everything that's wrong with policing these days, all wrapped up in a single case.

To protect and to serve.... "'In my 40 years of suing the police I have never seen that level of deliberate cruelty,' says an attorney for Thomas Perez Jr."

Fontana pays nearly $900,000 for ‘psychological torture’ inflicted by police to get false confessionwww.pasadenastarnews.com Detectives grilled Thomas Perez Jr. for 17 hours, deprived him of medications and threatened to have his dog killed if he didn’t confess to killing his father, who was actually alive.

I absolutely love stories like these for - a) the online Sedition Hunters still getting the perps, and b) knowing other as yet free perps reading this and constantly looking over their shoulder.

FBI arrests man on Jan. 6 assault charges with help of online sleuths and matching moles

So with TicketMaster in the news these days for corporate fuckery, leave it to Robert Reich to show some receipts.

The CEO of Live Nation — the parent company of TicketMaster — received $23.4 million in compensation last year. Meanwhile, the median Live Nation employee was paid $28,207. That’s a CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 833-to-1. Monopoly power is terrible for everyone but rich CEOs.

part of the problem is that conservatives took the Nixon resignation as a reason to build a huge alternative media infrastructure so that such a resignation would never need to happen again and they succeeded

On point, well researched/sourced, another TH rant that gets right to the heart of the matter. Well worth the read.

Relax, it was just Stephen Miller's Door Dash order

Vials of blood sent to RNC headquarters in Washington, prompting lockdownwww.cbsnews.com The Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., was placed on lockdown Wednesday morning after two vials of blood were sent, Capitol police confirmed.

Despite the headline, within the story, they all go soft and weasely on it though.

Good luck enforcing this Jim Bob. Dopey Rs just can't seem to grok that all they'll do is push abortion meds underground creating a huge black market. Abortion is not going to "go away".

Arkansas AG Tim Griffin has sent cease-and-desist letters to two out-of-state abortion-medication providers, claiming it is illegal to ship abortion pills to Arkansas (and specifically to advertise this service to Arkansans on the orgs' websites.) arkansasag.gov/news_release...

More evidence of a broken justice system. Why should this take so damn long?? Silver lining - "several may go to trial this fall - ensuring that Trump’s claims about a “rigged election” in 2020 will continue to be a focus even as the next presidential election nears."

I'm getting my wish. Way to go NYers. I knew you had it in you! Giving them the Bronx cheer. youtu.be/-2IfkNkiwaQ?...

The way these toady, ass-kissing clowns (Vance, Tuberville, et.al.) are being attracted to the big orange MAGAt bait tray in NYC, the locals should start coming out to "welcome" them the way they welcomed MTG on arraignment day.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's speech gets drowned out by protesters | New York Postyoutu.be US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) appeared briefly at the chaotic scene in Lower Manhattan and spoke for only a few minutes before fleeing from booing counter-protesters. Greene was expected to deliver a speech in favor of former President Donald Trump ahead of his indictment in New York City, but her words were drowned out by counter-protesters. The anti-Trump group blew whistles and banged on drums, making her remarks inaudible to many at the rally.
