Roy Cooper said it and he’s right: we need Senators who actually remember young people exist. Rising rent, brutal job hunts, and half of Washington’s still stuck in 1995. We fix that by voting like hell in 90 days. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Palantir has supplied military technology to Israel’s military during its genocidal war in Gaza. Its data mining tools have helped Trump’s ICE gangs round up migrants in the US. Please join our call on the UK to end all public contracts with Palantir. act.globaljustice.org.uk/get-palantir...
Get Palantir out of UK public services
The UK has handed Palantir dozens of public contracts, including with the NHS, even as the dangers of empowering a class of big tech oligarchs become clear. Palantir has supplied military technology t...

Trump brags about making people go hungry: "We've lifted nearly 100,000 Nevadans off food stamps. And they don't want to be on food stamps."
An ICE goon involved in a widely discussed confrontation has returned to active duty. According to reports, the goon-who had been placed on administrative leave after an incident involving an alleged assault-has now been reinstated to full active duty.

"Thomas Smith, the projected winner, dropped out of the race just weeks before Election Day." "With just about all of the votes counted, the candidate endorsed by the president lost the GOP congressional primary by roughly 17 points to a rival who was no longer running."
Steve Benen@stevebenen.com · 5h agoFor all of Trump’s chest-thumping about the potency of his endorsements, especially in GOP primaries, three Trump-backed Republicans have lost in the last two months. The Amir Hassan example in Michigan, however, is clearly the most embarrassing. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 7h agoAbdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Follow orders to frivolously prosecute people and possibly face disciplinary action from the bar association… or get fired. Man, I bet they’re attracting all the best and brightest young lawyers with that bullshit.
