The Supreme Court's Republican appointees let Mississippi kill Charles Ray Crawford tonight, despite treatment at trial that was of the same type that SCOTUS later held in another case is unconstitutional.

All three Democratic appointees, in a lengthy dissent, would have kept him alive.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

I just think AI is so exciting bc it's a machine that you can get wrong answers from, that yields environmental devastation, and is being forced on all of us

People are going to get even weirder about sex than they already are.

Wanted to share a photo of this life-size replica of the “YHWH and his Asherah” inscription & drawing on Pithos A from Kuntillet Ajrud (the best one I’ve seen!) that my friend Robert Augat sent me. He’s building a cool inventory of artifact replicas at relics3d.com.

this ballroom is the best evidence that trump doesn’t intend to leave

The thing about p(doom) stuff is that it functions as an advertisement for power. Of course you want ChatGPT employees if they have the power to destroy the world.
But it’s still harder to verify their answers than to do the work, so it’s much more likely a mid level technology.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Repair always takes more work than destruction. If our constitution or its court interfere with our ability to repair the damage done we must work to change them.

Democrats fight over weak stakes. Up the ante

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

Where as the federal government has failed and abdicated its fundamental duties, we the states of CA OR and WA establish a new covenant and adopt the constitution of 1790, and the rulings of SCOTUS and appellate courts until Jan 2025; until such time as a congress of the pacific republic assembles

If we were serious about our own rights and not merely maintaining our places in the zombie constitutional order we would be demanding governors start formal succession. We are in a highly elastic phase of society where legal physics is suspended and more fundamental human regimes take over.

In Elk Grove Village, another empty car. Witnesses say two people were taken from it, and are trying to locate family.

Carpentersville this morning. Border Patrol grabs some laborers at a worksite. The agent accuses a woman filming them of interfering and also tells her if she has an issue she should "contact her senators and congressmen."

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

These drooling thugs killed our government and are using its corpse to attack us. Who would consent to be ruled this way? We have never owed the state obedience, quite the opposite. Don’t finger wag when people start to act like people

Your tax dollars and mine are being used to thank President Trump. That’s right, the biggest political ad spender of 2025 is DHS using your money.

I wonder how many of them have exclusively been read by ai

We need to fight conservative frames of reference on the values of human life. Continuing to argue issue by issue will just keep us stuck here.

Turning nazis into slick villains was a Hollywood mistake. But we also fixate on the end of naziism. When I talk to my fam they can’t think of Nazis as less than death camps, so they resist seeing it now when we are speed running most of the nazi history

The history of humanity is moving and mixing. Our society is built on impulsive interpretations of the world from our short lives. The impulse you feel to check your self is the error. It is strange to think we have the power to stop people from coming here, and the last 50 years proves we dont

Yesterday, white nationalist paramilitary forces attacked another Chicago neighborhood with chemical weapons. Families and at least one infant were gassed. This morning, they are kidnapping more immigrants both here and in other metros (D.C., L.A. still being terrorized).
