  • Trump fires all Election Assistance Commission members, leaving agency unable to act

    Jump

  • Stopping state elections doesn't seem like authority a federal Election Assistance Commission would have

  • Man killed by ICE agents not intended target of immigration arrest, DHS says

    Jump

  • "Sounds like probable cause for an extrajudicial execution to me. [Belches]. I like beer!"

  • ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. They want you to be apathetic. Don’t be. / Salgado came from Mexico, built the American Dream, sent his sons to college, and was senselessly killed by ICE.

    Jump

  • Ah, that makes sense, my bad. Thank you for sharing a really great article, hope it's widely read.

  • Inside the tense final hours of Graham Platner’s campaign Graham Platner went down fighting. Advisers told him to focus on ‘gratitude.’

    Jump

  • Seems like they did an acceptable job of responding to it at least, certainly better than the Republicans ever do

  • Genuine remorse and honest self reflection, which would inevitably lead to "As someone who has committed rape it is irresponsible for me to ever ask anyone to vote for me to have political power ever again, but there are other ways for me to participate in and give back to my community that don't involve me having power over someone else. Perhaps I will go phone bank for a candidate that shares my values or volunteer to pick up trash in my local park."

    "I'm really truly sorry, now can we please move on without actually changing anything" doesn't work.

  • Tennessee Governor, Memphis mayor speak out after fatal National Guard shooting

    Jump

  • Trump made 327 stock buys right before he sent the market soaring with tariffs pause, disclosure reveals

    Jump

  • Because the country was held back by a bunch of moderate Democratic party members who wanted to make nice and move on, and then the fascists seized power again and that makes it pretty much impossible to hold them accountable because our society was already really corrupt before Trump came along and doesn't really hold people in power accountable

  • The Atlantic republishes JD Vance’s Trump op-ed from 2016

    Jump

  • Yeah, a lot more worthy topic for scrutiny is when did The Atlantic get dumb enough to fall for Vance's shit and publish him in the first place

  • The current gaming situation right now

    Jump

  • Not surprising when I think about all the different ways the extremely wealthy have corrupted all of our democratic and regulatory institutions, but it's pretty ironic that only privately held companies can respond to public feedback in a healthy way these days

  • Supreme Court birthright citizenship ruling 'a tremendous betrayal' says Heritage chief

    Jump

  • Four, actually. Kavanaugh sided against the administration but only because there's a random federal law he thinks grants birthright citizenship, not the Constitution (reading between the lines, he wants to get rid of it but he wants Congress to do his dirty work for him).

  • ‘I run the protection program’: Mike Johnson warns roomful of conservatives to reelect Republicans or face prison

    Jump

  • "It doesn't matter whether the ship is sinking or not, the important thing is that we stick together!" he said pleadingly to his fellow rats

  • "There's going to be a war": Centrist House Democrats plot Mamdani Caucus counterattack

    Jump

  • They'll try all these things, but who knows if they'll be successful. They're less powerful than they used to be.

  • If Phones Are Killing Pedestrians, Why Is It Only Happening in America?

    Jump

  • My hypothesis is that the rise in distracted driving was just as bad in European countries but they have safer infrastructure that limits cars' speed and otherwise protects pedestrians, and I think that could be tested by looking at the rates of car crashes overall in Europe (if those went up at the same time as the US without a corresponding rise in dead pedestrians I think that'd suggest their infrastructure is the difference)

  • If Phones Are Killing Pedestrians, Why Is It Only Happening in America?

    Jump

  • This doesn't read like AI to me, it actually does connect its thoughts together and builds an argument narrative

    That said, it is really awful human writing that has some cringey phrasing choices and the kind of grammar/sentence structuring I'd expect from a text to speech derived unedited stream of consciousness, I'm just not getting AI vibes off of it

  • ‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison

    Jump

  • It was a state trial

    Nope, just quoting from the above article (bolds added),

    On Tuesday, Elizabeth was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison ... Their attorneys announced their intention to appeal, but many supporters are doubtful that anything short of a presidential pardon from a future administration would free them.

  • Trump Refuses to Sign Housing Bill Until Unpopular Voting Restrictions Pass Congress

    Jump

  • No, I think their complaining and lobbying is a bullshit pretense to keep everyone talking about this legislation that doesn't solve the problem (and creates a few new ones) instead of talking about policies that would actually do something

  • ‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison

    Jump

  • They need to be on the lips of anyone who wants the Democratic party's nomination for president, immediately preceded by "I hereby pledge on my first day in office to immediately pardon"

  • Trump Refuses to Sign Housing Bill Until Unpopular Voting Restrictions Pass Congress

    Jump

  • This bill is becoming law whether he supports it or not. It's also quite popular (with everyone who is not in Private Equity).

    I don't buy any Private Equity whining about this, all they need to do is spin up a few corporate shells and they'll be able to keep each one of them under the limit on single family home ownership, but they'll still be cashing subsidies for construction and enjoying the gutting of environmental regulations that came with this

    The real housing reform we need is more public housing on the market owned and administered by municipal or state governments, anything short of that is just going to be putting money back into the pockets of the land barons
