Shocking abuse of power from a fascist regime flailing in the lead up to an electoral wipeout. Accountability can't come soon enough.

This is just a relentlessly horrific story. It’s hard to adequately contextualize the moral desolation of this unfolding in the midst of a midterms against a ruling party helmed by inveterate rapists and rape apologists. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congres...

lot of “THIS JOB WILL BE DISPLACED BY AI” stuff doesn’t answer the question of “who has legal liability if a mistake is made?” Google is gonna be liable? OpenAI? If that’s your answer then yeah but a lot of human industry is buttressed by “who gets sued” when a mistake is made.

The fact that Musk himself is sponsoring so many of the anti-trans ads this cycle presents a pretty golden opportunity for Dems to point out that of course the guy who literally wants to build a gas-powered data center in your backyard wants this election to be about trans people.

It is the first lawsuit over a death linked to an abortion ban and the first to directly sue Paxton, who has taken a leading role in enforcing Texas’ ban.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

In Mississippi and Louisiana, judges usually take three months or more to decide if someone should be released from detention. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, which experienced a surge in appeals early this year, courts often decide in less than two weeks. Full story: propub.li/4csLJaa
A cropped map showing how long habeas cases take to close, by district. Gray dots throughout represent immigration detention facilities. Regions are shaded lighter purple if they have fewer cases, or darker purple if they have more cases. An arrow points to Minnesota with this text: In Minnesota, where more than 1,500 habeas petitions have been filed since January 2025, cases have closed in a median of just 12 days. Another arrow points to Oklahoma with this text: In Oklahoma's Western District, habeas cases take a median of 63 days. An arrow points to Louisiana with the text: Over 2,600 petitions have been filed in Louisiana, which has many ICE detention centers. Cases have taken a median of 89 days to close. Finally, an arrow points to Mississippi with this text: Cases have taken a median of 92 days to close in Mississippi's Southern District, where the Adams County Correctional Center is located.

One thing I'm increasingly learning is that the 2016 and 2020 primary results are essentially useless now. I saw a map from Drew Savicki showing Crowley vs. Clinton 2016, and it was no better than noise. The electorate has largely turned over since 2016.

I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo
