One of the incredible ironies of this era is that the journalists with the least resources to fight malicious prosecution by the gov't are the ones telling the most truth about the camps. And the ones with the most resources and teams of lawyers on staff...are not.

“The U.S. military never targets civilians.” Remarkable that U.S. military spokespeople still use this line given the boat strikes. Of course the U.S. military targets civilians. The question is whether they did so in this situation.

Instead of forcing everyone who uses the Internet to cough up their sensitive personal data to private companies and to the federal government to “protect” kids, regulators and law COULD go way harder at rooting out the many freaks and creeps in high tech company leadership positions, like at Meta

The absence of legally mandated protections constitutes the redirection of risks and related costs from the capitalist class onto consumers, workers, and the environment. That is why corporations fight these protections. “Deregulation” is yet another form of corporate welfare—and WE pay the price.

They took Betsy Ross' flag.
 Freedom 250’s activities caused administrative hurdles
that required the creation of new agreements and product orders. A prime example
of this arose regarding America250’s trademark of the Betsy Ross flag, for which
Freedom 250 requested sole ownership. On April 10, 2026, America250 formally
surrendered its trademark to Freedom 250.103

This chart from Thomas Piketty illustrates what Jefferson Cowie calls “the Great Exception,” the period of the New Deal Order from the 1930s to the 1970s when inequality was low, and rates of unionization and federal marginal tax rates were high.

The "reactionary colorblindess" of the right-wing justices has reached its logical conclusion in finding that it is racist NOT to let Louisiana—and any other state for that matter—discriminate on the basis of race in voting. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
What we can expect in the aftermath of this ruling is for more Republican-controlled states to implement discriminatory maps and call them partisan so they can pass legal muster. In practical terms, this will likely mean fewer nonwhite representatives in Congress. Diminishing the power of minority voters may also allow the Republican Party to continue on its path from reactionary color-blindness to more overt racism, safe in the assumption that it will not have to answer to constituents who oppose such racism because they are its targets. There is little risk in attacking people who lack the power to remove you from office.

Propagandist John Solomon reports that Joe DiGenova will be added to DOJ's investigative team undermining RU investigation. Propagandist John Solomon doesn't mention that he was implicated in funneling Russian disinformation with Joe DiGenova. justthenews.com/government/c...
The delays in the Senate come as Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is ramping up resources in Florida and Washington DC to develop the weaponization conspiracy case. The career prosecutor who was running the weaponization probe was sent back to her post this week in Miami, and former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova is set to start Monday as the new lead prosecutor on Russia collusion matters.

DiGenova, a longtime vocal Trump supporter who also did legal work for the president, is a veteran and accomplished federal prosecutor who has worked as a U.S. Attorney in the nation's capital as well as an independent and special counsel in politically sensitive cases.
