Republicans in Missouri have placed a referendum on the ballot that democracy advocates say would kill the state’s ballot initiative process. Voters will decide on the measure next week:

Missouri voters will decide a GOP-backed referendum in August 2026 that would drastically raise the bar for approving citizen ballot measures.

I would simply suggest that if people want to defend democracy and see defeating incumbent democrats as the way to do that, then the failure lies not with the challengers and voters but with the incumbents who failed, often repeatedly, to meet the moment while squandering energy and donations.

Medication abortion will be available in Missouri for the first time since 2018 after a judge determined most of the state’s abortion regulations are unconstitutional. #moleg #mogov

AI is compelling to tech billionaires and their minions because it offers the fantasy of total control. You will never be tricked into believing something you have not decided in advance you want to believe.

Americans will never have media literacy or even just shit vs shinola knowledge. An ICE agent gunned down a woman named Renee Good. Like c'mon. It's so obvious who are the good people here and who are the bad. What will it take for people to see "conservative values" and "law and order" as evil?

White men and women re-elected Donald Trump and are to blame for all this shit. It's pretty simple. Any other take is wrong.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Depends on what metric you use for #1 but I've decided to pick the one that matches my current energy.

For Labor Day, Mark Twain's paean to the Knights of Labor: Power, when lodged in the hands of man, means oppression - it means oppression always: not always consciously, deliberately, purposely; not always cruelly, or sweepingly; but oppression, anyway, & always, in one shape or another. 1/15

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

I swear to God if someone can convince Elon and Trump to come together and squash their beef at a mountain getaway mansion, perhaps owned by Peter Thirl or some other ghoul, we could have a remake of Mountainhead.

I'm watching season two of Andor and for whatever reason can never remember the lady architect of the imperial slaughter (Dedra Meero when I remember) so I've taken to calling her Adolf Eichwoman and I feel kinda proud of that one.

I don't know if I would ever say that we had a real democracy with free and fair elections in our history as a nation, but we've reached a turning point where we certainly aren't whatever we were before.

I'm fucking sick of these Vichy Democrats and media operatives. Every fucking person who called Trump a fascist and then rubber stamped his appointments will deserve their turn at the Hague some day if the world is just.

Something I see posted often on Bsky "I can't believe this is happening in America, what has happened to us". Our police were once slave patrols and we genocided the people who lived here first. Stop believing this was ever a "good" country. Countries can't be good or bad, only people.

As the longest serving member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I can say with confidence that this bill is the biggest expansion of the government's warrantless surveillance power since the PATRIOT Act. I encourage everyone to call your Senators and urge them to vote NO on expanding FISA.
