As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

💥 BREAKING: The Heritage Foundation withdrew its anti-DEI proposal to IBM for shareholder vote today, originally submitted for vote at IBM's annual meeting. Why Heritage withdrew its anti-DEI proposal is unknown. Earlier today, shareholders at American Express voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal.

Dear god let this man cook.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Wow. The judge's words as he freed Mohsen Mahdawi: –Yes, Mohsen is seen as a peaceful figure—but he has rights even if he were a "firebrand." – People are being targeted like the Red Scare & McCarthyism. “The wheel of history has come around again, but as before these times of excess will pass."

Geoffrey Crawford, the judge in Wednesday’s ruling, wrote that those who know Mahdawi “describe him as a peaceful figure who seeks consensus in a highly-charged political environment.”

But, Crawford added, “even if he were a firebrand, his conduct is protected by the First Amendment…The court is aware that he has offended his political opponents and apparently given rise to concerns at the State Department that he is an obstacle to American foreign policy. Such conduct is insufficient to support a finding that he is in any way a danger as we use that term in the context of detention and release.”

“Legal residents–not charged with crimes or misconduct–are being arrested and threatened with deportation for stating their views on the political issues of the day,” Crawford said, citing the Red Scare and McCarthy-era targeting of people for their political views. “The wheel of history has come around again, but as before these times of excess will pass.”

Just a little reminder that the South Korean president who just declared martial law was elected two years ago on a wave of anti-feminist backlash. Misogyny is routinely part of the authoritarian package. www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

Why misogyny is at the heart of South Korea's presidential elections

Disgruntled young men who resent feminism are the focus of candidates vying to be president.

what’s stunning to me is the reaction from rightwingers experiencing actual moderation on bsky. they don’t seem to realize how aggressively extreme their own rhetoric has gotten. these are like, facebook grampas posting memes that a decade ago you’d only find in the nazi edgelord parts of 4chan.

Ida B. Wells said "the way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them" so I made another data doodad as a gift to y'all: a dashboard of the misconduct of the incoming 119th Congress. Click the link and share with others who care about transparency. chadtopaz.shinyapps.io/misconduct_d...

The screenshot shows a user interface titled "Misconduct Explorer for the 119th Congress (Incoming)." It includes filters on the left-hand side to narrow down misconduct records by category, chamber, and party, with options to download the data as a CSV file. On the right-hand side is a table titled "Congressional Misconduct Data," displaying rows of records with the following columns: "Name," "Party," "Chamber," "Category," "Date/Period," and "Description."

In the table, there are entries for "Tommy Tuberville" and "Katie Britt," both listed under the Republican party in the Senate. Each record includes a category (e.g., "Campaign/Election Violations," "Ethical Misconduct"), the corresponding dates or periods, and detailed descriptions of the alleged misconduct. Examples of descriptions mention violations of the STOCK Act, issues with charitable foundation spending, and involvement in financial schemes.

A lot of Americans are about to find out what the federal government they so despise actually does. Of course by then it will likely be too late.

We stop this ourselves. Local elections matter and holding officials accountable for acting against these illegal demonstrations. I saw photos of police arresting them for riding in the back of a cargo truck illegally. Scoop them up. Unmask them.

Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a trial at Washington University’s school of medicine has shown great results for a vaccine that would prevent recurrence for a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s a small trial, but 3 years later 16/18 participants remain cancer free

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.

Jasmine Crockett is challenging Debbie Dingell for chairmanship of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee. I’m sorry but this is a no-brainer. If we are going to defeat Trumpism we need to turn the page on our defunct comms strategies. Let’s go, Jasmine!
