Sending love to my Arab and Muslim friends right now. I see the Islamophobia and racism you're experiencing right now. It's not okay. And this Jewish woman says you're awesome and I'm proud to stand with you. (The only thing I'm mad about is not being able to vote for Mamdani OR El-Sayed.)

In the end, it's really good that the SCREEN ACT didn't advance. In a lot of ways that was a more real threat than KOSA, which has been mired in controversy for years and is almost certainly going to die in conference between the House and Senate. But also: we're playing whack-o-mole

NEW: Republicans tried to get Missourians to effectively kill direct democracy and ballot initiatives. Last night, Missourians literally laughed in their face — rejecting the measure by a massive 80% to 20%. Here’s what to know:

Missourians Reject Measure That Threatened to Kill Citizen-Led Ballot Initiatives - Bolts

Missourians on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted against a measure to restrict direct democracy, while state officials are trying to block even more citizen-led reforms from the November ballot.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

“What about due process,” is such a tell with these guys. Their party goes about systemically denying due process rights to anyone they deem too powerless to tell them “no,” and then insist that no one can ever come to a conclusion about their own actions that hasn’t been adjudicated by a jury.

MAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?

Here's some more good news from today's hearing: it seems like the SCREEN ACT totally failed. This was one of the most dangerous bills being considered: it would have created an Internet-wide ID check regime that would be a censorship and surveillance nightmare for marginalized communities.

THREAD: Here's what happened in today's "We are exploiting peoples' legitimate fears around kids online safety to advance dangerous censorship and surveillance legislation" hearing in the Senate Commerce Committee... 🧵

To people saying El-Sayed's win "doesn't count" because it wasn't a blowout 🙄 Crypto, Big Pharma & AIPAC spent $55M supporting Stevens and attacking El-Sayed She had support from Gretchen Whitmer, outgoing Senator Gary Peters, Chuck Schumer & the DSCC Grassroots organizing won And it will again🎇

60 years ago, The Beatles released 'Revolver.' With no intention of reproducing the songs at live performances, the band turned the studio into an instrument, pioneering the use of double-tracking vocals, tape loops, various recording speeds, and backwards guitars.

Gutted to hear that John Douglas from Trashcan Sinatras has died. A great guitarist in a great band. Go and listen to Cake all the way through and remind yourself how music played with heart and humour can feel like a great big hug.

‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665

The image is a graphic poster with a vibrant red background and contrasting dark purple text. At the top, it contains the message: “Senate Commerce Committee is taking up KOSA + SCREEN Act THIS WEDNESDAY” in bold white letters. Below this, in a larger, informal handwriting-style font is the phrase “TAKE ACTION” in yellow. At the bottom of the image is a phone number, “248-331-8665,” displayed inside a rounded rectangle in dark purple. The overall layout is eye-catching and designed to attract attention to the call for action regarding legislation.

Pritzker has been told directly how this is a bad law that does real damage to kids, increases surveillance and is likely unconstitutional. He chose to sign it anyway because it'll give him headlines about protecting children and taking on big tech for his presidential run. A huge disappointment

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d ago

When addictive social media feeds depend on keeping a child's attention at any cost, their well-being takes a back seat. Enough is enough — we’re requiring these companies to make social media safer for the future of Illinois.

Chris with the best reporting on this decision, as usual. Today has not been my favorite day as a civil rights lawyer. But we’re not done fighting yet.

NEW: Eleventh Circuit, on an 8-5 vote, holds that Florida's anti-drag law is likely constitutional. A majority of the court, however, disagreed with Just Brasher that the court should rule on whether the statewide injunction entered in the case was an improper "universal injunction." Law Dork:

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.
