California has now banned algorithmic price fixing. The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI. This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

Joe Biden and the 2021 Democratic caucus had only one job really and it was purging the entire insurrectionist party from office as quickly as possible by any means necessary.

3. Sorry - one more thing. If you're wondering why call Congress? This matters, especially if you have a Republican member. They like to pretend they're the party of national security. Embarrass them. Demand to know why they didn't know about this. Ask how they feel having their power stripped-

Everyone running for public office needs to unequivocally say whether they support Trump’s attacks on Iran — attacks which put hundreds of millions of lives at risk. My answer is an unequivocal NO and there’s no excuse for a candidate to say anything different.

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series. Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in. J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

The not posting on the internet part is VERY vital. And I know in recent years a culture of "if you're not posting you're not doing anything" has bubbled up, but for real guys. You need to be thinking. And planning. And never putting it in writing on the internet. Protect people. No matter what.

SCOTUS just blocked the first taxpayer-funded religious charter school. Oklahoma wanted public dollars to run a virtual Catholic school—with required religious instruction. The court split 4–4. Barrett recused. Trump backed it. Church and state? Still separate—for now.

Important context from the article: "Now ma-and-pa's deposits are FDIC insured, so they'll be alright, but it means the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund is footing the bill. In other words, the GENIUS Act is subsidizing stablecoin issuance on the back of bank deposits."

Democrats shrink the federal deficit and Republicans explode it and the entire media apparatus tells the exact opposite story, and now a bunch of vultures who have only ever robbed us and left us bleeding by the side of the road enjoy comfortable leads in most public opinion polls on the economy.

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

In the moment, people tend to blame people for taking actions that antagonize violent and genocidal governments and bring down repression. In retrospect, however, those actions are easily understood as morally justifiable, even if they aren't necessarily strategic.

In 1938, a stateless Jewish teenager in Paris named Herschel Grynszpan went into the German embassy and shot a diplomat from the Nazi regime. He was arrested and disappeared. The Nazis used this action as the pretext for Kristallnacht, the most famous pogrom in history.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.
