Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

A whole bunch of Chinese memory production capacity is coming online by the end of this decade, which is going to make life miserable for the legacy memory manufacturers.
As someone who’s never paid attention to the memory industry and is trying to understand the price surge, I found this segment from the #$SNDK earnings call really helpful:

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.

He's got to go.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

They are going to lose and they know it.

Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah releases a statement calling out Kristi Noem by name, and calling for bipartisan oversight hearings/testimony from those in charge.

Possibly the strongest Republican statement yet.

Dorkiest mfers alive.
The VCs bros have convinced themselves they are on some moral crusade. They will be behind the scenes trying to cling to power in the midterms and beyond.

Side note, they are also the biggest bunch of dorks

Those people have no skin in the game. They are sheltered from authoritarian governance and can go hang out on private islands for all they care about. They voided their social contract with democracy a long, long time ago.
Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

Alex will be remembered a hero and we will punish the monsters who did this to him. He will receive justice.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Fuck you and your stern phone call. Defend your citizens.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I used to dislike Stancil but I would be his biggest donor if he ran for public office. Mad respect to anyone putting their body on the line in our fight against fascism. These are the people who should lead us.
Taxpayer funded treatment for what doctors are only beginning to label "Stancil PTSD" is going to be a huge chunk of the federal budget when the goon squads retire.

If you want better policy, elect more Democrats. Every race, every year, every place. This dumbass solution is the only one that works.

The advanced version is "also, elect better Dems whenever you can". It requires holding two ideas in your head at the same time so many struggle with it
The VA senate got to these today, and all passed as expected

Abortion rights: 21-18
Post-incarceration voting rights: 21-18
Gay marriage: 26-13
Redistricting: 21-18

April 21st is the first eligible Tuesday, so that’s my guess for referendum EDay
the four VA constitutional amendments passed the HoD

Abortion rights: 64-34
Post-incarceration voting rights: 65-33
Gay marriage: 67-31
Redistricting: 62-33-1

Think the earliest referendum Election Day would be April 21, so early voting would start in early March

We will not have a party capable of fighting back against fascism until the Dem voter base takes primaries more seriously.

We need better Democrats.
