I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say

Federal agents have searched Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation. That's according to people familiar with the matter.

There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

Holy cheese on crackers there are a million ways to expand your reading / watching / listening rather than reinscribing the actual material harm done to trans people by this woman's wealth. THERE ARE SO MANY INCREDIBLE THINGS OUT THERE WORTHY OF YOUR PATRONAGE AND TIME. WATCH THEM.

It's maddening that they're all falling into the rights' trap of making it about sports when it's always been about the right not wanting trans people period. Use a small group as a litmus test. Next stop is getting rid of gay marriage and Title IX.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

Of course not. If the media asked Republicans to denounce the white supremacist billionaire who propagates the Great Replacement Theory that has fueled multiple mass shootings and whose DOGE fuckery has now killed millions, then the media would have to ask why they themselves are still on Twitter.

First and foremost, Moulton vs. Markey. I voted for Markey without hesitation. Moulton is a piss-poor choice for Senate and frankly for any elected office. He's a finger-to-the-wind opportunist who has often taken centrist positions that I cannot support. Markey is consistently progressive.

As for his age: should he be unable to finish his term, the replacement process in MA heavily favors a Democrat. Moulton is an unacceptable replacement and voting for him on the basis of Markey's age alone is throwing trans kids under the bus to satisfy your own ageism.

ICE's presence and mass kidnappings have largely been normalized in media coverage. ICE is operating aggressively in Massachusetts right now, and while it is being covered, the stories don't really give the sense of scale and the abuses occurring with regularity.
