Virginia Governor Restores Voting Rights for Thousands With Past Felony Convictions - Bolts
This is the only state that was banning people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.

The LA Sheriff’s Dept is just so consistently unhinged. If they’re repeatedly putting so much effort into seemingly attempting to frame one of their own sergeants, it really does not inspire confidence in their criminal investigations of civilians www.latimes.com/california/s...

The staggering amounts of money that get poured into campaigns really get glossed over so quickly. The idea that one PAC spent $3 million to boost Bankhead in the primary on some abstract theory of what she’d do. — what is this.

Trump attacks birthright citizenship, again, against the 14th amendment and in defiance of SCOTUS’s June decision.
Quinta Jurecic@qjurecic.bsky.social · 14h agono, actually, an executive order cannot "expand the category" of people excluded from birthright citizenship, we literally just went through this www.axios.com/2026/08/06/t...
Among other things, Trump’s new executive order purports to end birthright citizenship for people born in Puerto Rico (tho only if Congress also passes a law doing that): www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Republicans pass a bill in North Carolina that’d allow the state’s chief justice (a Republican) to unilaterally suspend any lower court judge in NC without pay, with no need to consult other justices or wait for an investigation. Expect governor to veto, setting up overhaul test.
Should NC’s top judge be allowed to suspend other judges? State lawmakers say yes
NC Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul Newby would be allowed to suspend other judges without pay, even without any finding of wrongdoing, under a new bill that’s now up to Gov. Josh Stein to act on.

We tried to warn you, you indulged in your little transphobic fantasy. You thought you could just have a little transphobia in some areas and not others and that's not possible. You made this world too. Now unmake it, it's your job.
The kid in the story above is not trans, not that that changes anything for the gender freaks of this world. This is the world they are trying to build. Trans people told you this was the world they were trying to build. Yes it includes all of your "legitimate concerns" about sports.
Every single Republican and gender critical person, including JK Rowling, supports this happening to you. They brag about building a future in which this type of humilating incident is common.

This will be hugely disruptive (I *like* producing words. I don’t anticipate I will gain the same fulfilment from being a teller).
Great piece this. A big part of why I don’t think AI will lead to mass unemployment is some stuff will just have to switch back to meatspace in order to reach a timely conclusion, and in order to verify things. Fatima’s next job could be in “teller”.
