That’s not a danger sign. It’s a sign of the country recovering from an abusive relationship.

I’ve been seeing more police doing cutesy meet and greet events with their robots, I feel the need to remind people: many of these companies deliberately advertise the goodwill departments can get on social media via selfies, and that these are like putting a cute face on a rolling Flock cameras

Well, to be fair, the loopholes are built into the penal codes specifically to allow prosecutors to let people off the hook. bsky.app/profile/rayo...

Unintended consequences. According to cloudfare, the targeting of Yandex data centres by Ukraine has resulted in a massive drop in russian bots. Could this have an impact on the American mid term elections?

The trial is the important part. The public needs to hear all the information and evidence so they can grasp the totality of his criminality and his treason. He can then be charged when he leaves office. I don’t actually care if he makes it through the term. I care that the public hears the truth

Yeah. We definitely shouldn’t use the option the framers put in the constitution for exactly this situation.

Democrats should view debates as warm ups for trials. Bring the evidence, and prosecute them. The audience will be the jury. If you’re wondering what that looks like, Jon Ossoff just provided a tutorial and master class in one. youtu.be/FDCQ7-OivEM

1. Russia doesn’t have any diesel to sell. They can’t even answer domestic demand. 2. Even if they had diesel to sell, it wouldn’t get here until after the election. Tankers are slow. So it won’t help him. Obviously, this was just an excuse to lift sanctions and throw Putin a lifeline.

Remarkable: As of now, Latino early vote is outpacing where it was at same time in 2024 in both percentages of vote share and in RAW VOTE TOTALS. That's big. Presidential turnout is usually higher than midterms. I obtained new analysis from Dem firm TargetSmart: newrepublic.com/article/2164...

Texas ranchers are reporting dead livestock after their land was contaminated with toxic forever chemicals. For too long, corporations have been allowed to put their waste on our farmland while farmers and ranchers are left dealing with the consequences.

Graphic showing a brown and white cow standing close to a small brown calf in a green pasture. The text at the bottom reads: "Texas farmers reports calves and other livestock are dying due to extreme PFOA/forever chemical contamination from biosolids." In the top right corner, a circular inset shows an aerial view of a wastewater treatment plant. In the lower-center, a small circular portrait features Clayton Tucker wearing a cowboy hat. The handle @ClaytonTuckerTX is in the top left corner.
