Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

We told you so. Trump deploying agents to voting stations in Detroit, Hamtramck, Lansing, & East Lansing. Keep these numbers on you in case you observe any interference, intimidation, or other bullshit. Election protection hotline (non-profit, non-partisan): 866-687-8683

Thoughtful exploration of the emotional conflicts and suffering that arise as AI is deployed in universities. Resisting AI requires realistic conversations about how we feel about it - anxiety, betrayal, anger, shame - and the impact it has on our relationships with colleagues, mentors and students.

If useful, here's my attempt to process my feelings about how I feel sadly kinda — or rather very — sick from all this AI fascist nonsense as an academic. 😶‍🌫️ I'd be pleased if even one person finds something useful because there's something to be said for processing this all together, so, um, enjoy?

If you want members of this regime to be held legally accountable, you have to add four seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. Otherwise, they'll protect their fellow oligarchs like they did in 2023. 1. Win the senate 2. Block nominees 3. Elect a dem POTUS 4. Congress adds 4 seats 5. Have nice things

The Blanche statement that likely now secures his confirmation does nothing to abrogate Trump’s rights in the slush fund and perpetuates the outrageous tax amnesty for Trump and family, which the American people are paying for without getting anything in return. It’s all lip service and a travesty.

When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.

Title: Deceptive design. A graphic meant to look like a color-blindness test obscures the number of”550” Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons on their apps. As a result, delivery workers saw reduced income of almost $550 million The tipping point. A graphic meant to look like a color-blindness test highlights the number of”104” In January, we required billion dollar tech companies to make the tip feature visible. Since then, $104 million dollars have gone back into the pockets of workers who keep this city fed.

Trump is refusing 220 million dollars in disaster relief to Democrat led states. That alone should be a bipartisan impeachable offense. It should also be something that incites open revolt.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
