if there's an overarching theme of the last decade, (with obvious antecedents in 2009, 2000, 1994, and earlier) it's that one political faction believes governance to be a tool of warfare against their domestic enemies, and the other is surprised they keep getting attacked seemingly out of nowhere.

I'm not commenting on scotus today because I have to focus on one dumpster fire at a time so as not to have a heart attack in my 30s. I will just say, today is a great day to learn more about Reconstruction. I'll keep recommending Black Reconstruction as one of my favorite books on the period.

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

Dr. Jennifer Caputo-Seidler “began noticing many doctors asking how to treat polio.

Florida's plan to end vaccine mandates elicits concerns about diagnosing polio

Health experts worry the policy change could lower vaccination rates and lead to a rise in preventable diseases — like polio, which most U.S. doctors have little experience spotting or treating.

EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police are investigating a swastika found in GOP Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Taylor said in a statement.

We live in a racist country and have racists who sit on the Supreme Court, making racist decisions that impact 350 million people for decades.

First they abolish the New Deal; then they abolish the Great Society - just so White men can stay in power.

anyway every time someone argues that John Roberts is a Reasonable Moderate I want to scream

his lifelong goal is the reinstitution of segregation and he has almost achieved it, just because he doesn’t say the n word out loud during court arguments doesn’t make him any less of a racist

Jay Willis @jaywillis.net · 18h

As a baby lawyer in the Reagan White House, John Roberts was writing memos arguing that violations of the Voting Rights Act should not be "too easy to prove." This is not just any legal issue that happens to come before him. This is his life's work. He just wants to finish what he started.

Roberts remains at the center of an impassioned debate about voting rights in America.
