Exvangelical Hafu. Anti-ICE and proudly anti-fascist ("antifa" for the DHS dummies out there). Anti-MAGA and anti-DSA, too! "No one — and I mean no one — has the right to sit in judgment of who's American enough." - Michelle Obama
7 mo into Covid-19 after grueling 24hr caring for child with the disease, who survived. Showered at hosp, returned to office & informed staff, wasn't retiring the next mo, as had planned. Photo of that moment. This is my "diary". Nobody can change the reality of pandemic for those who lived it...
Speaker Mike Johnson was the dean of a law school named after a pedophile. He has no qualms about other people’s immorality as long as it doesn’t interfere with his ambition.
Blanche refuses to say whether he was aware that Pirro was going to drop the charges against Hearn or approved her decision
Ted Cruz is pretending that people want to cancel Thanksgiving and Christmas as if people don’t schedule their own holidays. Just because no wants to eat turkey or open presents with Ted, it doesn’t mean he has to make it all our problem
If you won a primary it does not become the job of your former opponent to convince people to vote for you. Your opponent may choose endorsement and may choose to encourage support but ultimately it is your responsibility to convince the voters who were skeptical of you to now support you.
If AI systems are trained to tell users what they want to hear, what happens when those users are cops and prosecutors? My latest @techpolicypress.bsky.social piece begins a three part series on Perils of AI in Policing, starting with risk of AI sycophancy contaminating law enforcement
Will AI Sycophancy Contaminate Law Enforcement?
AI sycophancy in high risk domains like law enforcement are under-analyzed, argues Tech Policy Press fellow Jake Laperruque.

Everyone in Congress knows this. Why are they all pretending like he's still here. In the living form. Immoral swine. But the video is pretty funny. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
They also get NRA funding. They also get funding from other corporations and donors. Some get funding from the NAACP, sooooo What's your point. You still didn't prove that it's foreign funded, so, that kills the first part of your argument.

Yes votes on Sanders resolutions to block weapons transfers climbed from 18 to 40. Seven Democrats held the line and voted no on both April 2026 resolutions. All seven (get) AIPAC funding."
holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????
Actually, I just routed thru my errands that I did yesterday, & it gave me routes that were almost as fast but avoided the cameras in Saint Paul & Minneapolis & White Bear Lake. So maybe I will start using this!

It's notable that in one of El-Sayed's first speeches after a "noun, verb, AIPAC" filled primary is primarily focused on things people supposedly hated hearing about when it came from Establishment Dems.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3h agoEl-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

The Attorney General should serve the American people, not the president. Todd Blanche was Trump's personal criminal defense attorney and continues to play a central role in blocking the full release of the Epstein files.
SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
Every single campaign donor to Max Milker should be held accountable and answer for it. Every company, every individual. They are financing his career in politics despite what they know. All who write a checks going forward and donors who don’t demand a refund are complicit.
Governor Newsom reminds Trump of what continues to be true: Blue states are the hosts, while Red states are the parasites. Without revenue from Blue states, the Red would fold like a Trump casino.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
Schiff: "This is someone who has violated his code of ethics blatantly, misled this committee, supported establishment of a fund for cop beaters, covered up docs implicating president in the Epstein files, use DOJ to enrich the president. Is this who we're prepared to confirm as AG? It appears so."
Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.
