Thanks to SCOTUS GOP-appointed majority (same ones who attended Trump's state dinner last night), Trump admin will use faulty & inaccurate data to wrongly label eligible voters non-citizens & pressure states to remove them from rolls. Sets a chilling precedent www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Supreme Court allows Trump to use flawed database to vet voter citizenship
While the impact on the midterms might be minimal, Justice Jackson warns some eligible voters could be disenfranchised.

🚨🚨BREAKING!!!! SOURCE OF TOMMY TUBERVILLE'S FURRY OBSESSION REVEALED!!🚨🚨
James Thurber's surreal 1932 New Yorker cartoon showing a man and woman lying in bed, the man looking downcast, the woman angrily saying to him, "All right, you heard a seal bark." Inexplicably, a happy-looking seal rests at the top of the bed's headboard, its flippers dangling over the near side. 

Thurber "explained" that the cartoon started as a seal on a rock, saying something like "oh look! Explorers!" but that he decided to make the rock a bed instead.

Yes, AI-powered drones are scary, but focusing too much on AI drones risks missing the actual source of the problem. The vast majority of targeted drone attacks on civilians today are still carried out entirely manually by human pilots—humans who are knowingly choosing to kill and stalk civilians.

"Your brains stop developing at age 25" was a press misrepresentation of a study. They wanted to see if brains continued to develop after adolescence, so the study was capped at age 25. A later study with a wider subject pool showed that brains are ALWAYS developing our whole lives.

MANY comments like these at the Other Place, some from fairly big wingnut influencers ("Julie Donuts" has 220K followers, "Steve Ferguson" 287K), amplified by bots and individual weirdos. They're begging Trump to declare an "emergency" / martial law, with military-run elections, military tribunals.
Tweet from "Julie Donuts" saying "PAUSE THE FREAKIN ELECTION!!!!" and retweeting a Nick Sortor message saying, "BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has BLOCKED President Trump’s request to implement his new USPS restrictions on ballot mailing

So basically, USPS will be FORCED to mail ballots to illegals and non-citizens.

SCOTUS REALLY doesn’t want us to have a country anymore.

Alito and Thomas dissented on the ruling."

That's followed by a reply to Julie Donuts saying "What is the purpose of having election if it is not secure.

Martial law now. Our government is under attack from traitors."Tweet from "Steve Ferguson" saying "So as a recap, the Supreme Court has blocked everything President Trump has tried to fix

They stopped him from restricting mail in ballots

Birthright citizenship is still here

Tariffs

It seems as though we aren't voting our way out of this"

Followed by a reply saying "Martial law and military tribunals of all traitors in every branch needs to be initiated immediately! If not than [sic] @realDonaldTrump has lost the nation permanently bleeding democrat fraud and rhino treason like it is water across the nation."

Not shown: Ferguson replies simply "concur"
