SCOTUS just beat back Trump on #BirthrightCitizenship. Big sigh of relief Nevertheless, the fundamental idea that the Constitution protects our multiracial democracy hangs by a thread and shows the need for the @jwj.org's 21st Century Reconstruction www.jwj.org/democracy-bl...

How long were those lines? This actually seems like a lie to cover the fact that the DCBOE is beckoning itself yet again
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis is because the DC Board of Elections is waiting to release results until everyone has voted, and there were lines of late-arriving voters at some election sites when polls closed. Josh could have easily learned about this (entirely reasonable) policy because the board publicly announced it.
So the DC Board of Elections is beckoning itself today, like all other days, right?
@eliasburke.bsky.social metres? How'd you get that past editing?
Elon Musk spent millions to elect Trump. His company Starlink, which dominates rural broadband services, lobbied to cut funding for rural broadband alternatives. Now, Starlink is jacking up prices on its captive customers. Government for the billionaires, by the billionaires.

I hate (1) people who rattle on about craft beer, (2) people who find any excuse to bash the left and (3) people who tell people to just calm down about it Your post leaves me totally triggered

#OtD 24 May 1988 the homophobic 'Section 28' passed into law in the UK. It stated that local authorities must not "promote homosexuality" or "the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship." The law sparked a wave of resistance. stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9679...
This sign is from nearly 30 years ago but there are people out there right now trying to convince you that ‘Transgender’ is a hyper modern addition that doesn’t belong

This isn’t about budget efficiency. It’s about dismantling the federal science infrastructure that protects American agriculture one “redundant” lab at a time just like the Trump administration claimed about the forest service!
Staggering amounts of corruption that would have brought down any previous president are happening right out in front of us. Institutional democracy reforms and prosecuting corruption must be top priorities if Democrats win power in 2028 www.ft.com/content/f921...
Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social · 3mo agoA true fact about Trump's stock trading- I ran the numbers and Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026. All 535 Members of Congress made a total of ~$635 million worth of trades in 2025. So Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did last year

Tell the Founding Fathers that you can't gerrymander the US Senate. They ensured that rural areas got disproportionate power in the Senate—precisely what Republicans are currently trying to do to the House. Wyoming (587,000 residents) and California (over 39 million residents) each have 2 senators.
