Schrodinger’s Democracy

We’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time. Democracy is not something we have, it’s something we do. Slava Ukraini! I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Understands nuance.
If the only time you stand up for free speech is when you’re defending Nazis, it might not be free speech you’re really into.
Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 16h ago...and I didn't see Tyler Austin Harper, or the Atlantic or the NYT or any one of the aggrieved free-speech-is-absolute folk, or the ones speaking out about Cofnas having fuck all to say about those of us wondering how to teach histories of gender and medicine without mentioning abortion in 2022.
Stephen Miller said a Chicago apartment building raided by immigration agents was “filled with terrorists.” So why is it that not a single person arrested that night was charged with a crime? 🎧 This is the real story behind the midnight raid. Listen on “Paper Trail”:
The True Story of Why Immigration Agents Raided a Chicago Apartment Building
Trump officials claimed they successfully arrested members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in a dramatic midnight raid. We uncovered a very different story.

DoorDash has been silent as ICE detains and murders their delivery drivers. But to avoid a 20-cent tax on delivery orders, DoorDash is now backing a bill that would give Trump more authority over DC and its residents. Delete your account until DoorDash stops fighting to give the regime more power.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.
Priceless - Trump et al have no clue how to get out of a hole- they bring in more heavy equipment to keep digging. Carney showed them the bottom.
Deb Chachra@debcha.bsky.social · yesterdayThis explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...
A reminder that Gary, Indiana has been without power for just about 2 weeks now. Gary has 8 destructive data centers that strains their power grid. Over 70% of Gary’s population are Black. Indiana is controlled by fascist republicans. You do the math. Pay attention.
Everywhere we turn the collection of corrupt incompetents in the Trump admin is screwing up something new - Bessent the bond market, Lutnick trade relations, Hegseth the military, RFK Jr public health, Rollins Ag policy - one thing after another systematically wrecking America.
Here's your daily reminder: Trump and Republicans are kicking 15 million Americans off their health care so that people like Mark Zuckerberg can buy another yacht.
For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.
Trump importing beef is meant to break our food industry to make you pliable. Folks, they wrote this down.
I was reminded by @capitolhunters.bsky.social that I caught Natalie Harp authoring Donald Trump's response to a January 6 Committee subpoena in October 2022. This provides some hints about who installed her as Trump's gatekeeper. 😬 www.documentcloud.org/documents/23...

As people focus on the eyesore and noise, along with cooling water used to keep servers running, they are missing Godzilla coming ashore: the energy required to power the centers, even if it did not raise costs a cent, will gut the landscape and deplete water for *their* cooling.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) sued the Department of Justice Thursday, seeking records about any plans to seize ballots, voting machines or other election materials before the 2026 midterms are certified. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Democrats sue Trump DOJ for records on potential ballot seizures in midterms
The complaint also points to DOJ’s removal of a longstanding election-prosecution manual that warned against taking election records from local officials before certification.

Trump says a new report proves 24,000 noncitizens voted illegally in 2020. It doesn’t. The real story here is less about what the report says and why the Trump administration needs it—desperately—now. joycevance.substack.com/p/theyre-bui...
They’re Building The Excuse Now
On Tuesday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced a Department of Commerce “report” that claims more than 24,000 noncitizens illegally voted in the 2020 election.

Of course there is a lot about why you should delete Twitter - but with this shit, why do any of you continue to support anything Meta? Is "staying in touch with the kids/HS friends" or "keeping up with trends" really an offset to "We built a fucking monster on the side"?

The WaPo says Todd Blanche is right about DOJ independence. But there’s a critical difference between a president setting law enforcement priorities & a president deciding who gets investigated & prosecuted. Apparently, we need to talk about that difference. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-washin...
