"Some day people will look at online gambling the way we look at Big Tobacco today: an industry that dishonestly profiteered on addiction and human misery."
Our Politicians Suck. But Our Voters Do, Too.
And the political system we’ve built brings out the worst in both.

I have come to the conclusion that, when it comes time after the Liberation to rewrite the constitution, the president should no longer have any authority to grant pardons

I don't say this lightly, but Pete Hegseth deserves to be impeached. I understand just how serious a vote to impeach is from experience, and I still believe impeaching him is the right thing to do.
The Iran war. The purge of senior ranks. The boat strikes.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Texas is delaying its typical September 1 release of maternal mortality data until December 1, conveniently timed to be after the midterm election. Recent reports have shown a sharp rise in ectopic pregnancy deaths after the abortion ban went into effect.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

This is Apple Maps. This is Apple bowing down to Donald Trump. This is what happens when oligarchs reveal themselves to be cowards in service to the almighty dollar over our democracy, sanity and the truth. Shame on Apple.

AOC: Let’s put a data center in each one of Donald Trump’s golf courses. Let’s put one in New Jersey on his golf course. Put one in Mar-a-Lago. The only reason I don’t say put one on the White House lawn is because he’ll be out of there soon. If he loves them so much, he can have them.

Octavia E. Butler’s novel “Parable of the Talents” depicts a dystopian United States run by Christian Nationalists. Their slogan is “Make America Great Again.” Published in 1998, many years before Trump’s political career, but this poem in the book prophesied Trump. (Poem from @zymplex.bsky.social)

Before last year, there were no US measles deaths in a decade, and now we have had 5 deaths in two years.
Measles was declared eliminated in the US in 2000, but will lose that status this year.
This is an abject failure of public health leadership.
