Doesn’t mean they will allow any real action to be taken based on the results, but this is definitely more than I expected from them and I’m surprised.

How was a Nevada Republican with a 30-year mortgage on a $565,000 home able to loan his Congressional campaign $1.6 million? We don't know, because he has repeatedly failed to submit required financial disclosures that would illuminate his personal financial position.

"Netanyahu asked the Emirati president to deny reports of their phone conversation as well as details concerning the events leading up to October 7 that could embarrass him, according to the sources. He also asked bin Zayed for what the source described as 'moral support.'"

To be fair most women do not think like this. Actually, I would say it’s more a chronic online overexaggerating for clout thing that doesn’t really show up in real life. I do not know any women who speak like this, if anything almost all of them apologize way too much for dipshit men.

It’s also so much more than an anti-hero trope! Similar to Sopranos, they are almost Shakespearean explorations of human psyche, hubris, impotence, and vanity.

I actually think it was less that and more the GOP’s eventual full embrace of naked fascism and racism. Schwarzenegger experienced Nazism and euro-fascism in his living memory, he knows it when he sees it.

Democracy Now! has now gone from constantly inviting Max Tegmark to platforming people from none other than MIRI. That's right MIRI. Y'all know how bad that is? Do you understand the level to which they are doubling down on the eugenicists?

IMO one of the most important local elections in the country (boltsmag.org/prosecutor-a...)
"Long before Trump began sowing unfounded doubts about the 2020 presidential race, Republicans in Tarrant County, home to Fort Worth, were notorious for their selective enforcement of election laws and for the harsh prosecution of Crystal Mason, a woman who mistakenly thought she could vote while on probation and was sentenced years in prison.

DA Phil Sorrells, who came into office after the 2022 midterms, has continued that legacy. He helped launch a task force to police local elections, and he continued to prosecute Mason even after an appeals court overturned her conviction in 2024. This fall, he filed criminal charges against Lon Burnam, a former state lawmaker who was expelled from a public meeting and forcibly arrested for speaking out against a GOP plan to dramatically reduce polling places. 

Sorrells faces Democratic challenger Tiffany Burks in a competitive rematch of their 2022 election. Burks, who has worked as a prosecutor in the office, has signaled a very different direction from Sorrells on such cases. “We are talking about a county where they are doing everything that they can to suppress the vote,” she said in an interview last month.

She is currently representing Burnam in court, and she said last month that her “first item on business” as DA would be to drop the county’s efforts to reinstate Mason’s conviction. (That won’t be necessary after all: Texas’ highest criminal court ruled in favor of Mason and against Sorrells on Sept. 24, upholding Mason’s 2024 acquittal.)"

I dunno, man, I think reading and math skills are kind of important! What these folks also never want to talk about is education for education’s sake. Thinking for thinking’s sake. It’s always about ROI or in context of labor. Not all of life boils down to that.

Terrific review of SUPREMACY by @nikobowie.bsky.social and @daphnarenan.bsky.social alongside my book, THE POLITICAL SUPREME COURT: 
Picture of this quotation from Pema Levy’s article “How the Supreme Court seized power to rule over the rest of us”:

“As Bowie, Renan, and Shelden show, this is not how its always been, or how it's supposed to be. To take back their power, the people must simply demand it.”

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

Honestly SO many women in the U.S. feel this way too. My local mom groups are filled with instances of women saying men shouldn’t work at daycares or schools. And they don’t understand that this belief feeds into the misogynistic beliefs that men shouldn’t be teachers or care givers.

gangsofnewbjork.bsky.social @gangsofnewbjork.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
This is actually a pervasive belief among a LOT of women, and it’s getting worse because now there are so few men in caretaking or teaching roles to begin with, so a lot of women will see a man in one of those roles and assume he must be a pedo.
