Anyone else remember the chain emails that circulated among Black folk during the early George W. Bush admin saying they were going to take away the Voting Rights Act? It was dismissed as nonsense 20-25 years ago. 🤷🏾‍♀️

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

I notice this split a lot on social media: you can really tell who comes from a community that has been finding joy in the face of hardship for generations and who has had the luxury of feeling safe until so recently that they don't think anyone should continue to live until they feel safe again

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

Award-winning pain researcher here. This is not something that can be done. Hope this helps.

I know that I’ve officially reached jaded “I’ve seen this before” adulthood, because 2025 really does look and feel a LOT like 2003.

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Why stop at schools. Let’s do hospitals, workplaces, shopping centres, churches, gyms, all public buildings!

"For fans, the loss is profound. MTV’s music channels were more than just entertainment—they were cultural touchstones."

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I truly, truly want an explanation of how they think these payments work.

The bleakest thing about this video is that all the things this guy loves about the UK are relatively cheap and easy to build. Alabama could have a better train system than England inside of 10 years if we decided that was a priority. We are a rich country that chooses to live like a poor one.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Massive changes are coming to the state’s comprehensive, low-cost healthcare plan. Here's what you need to know. nysfocus.com/2025/09/26/e...

Let's take a moment to recall exactly how monstrously violent Columbus had to be for Isabella of Spain, under whose reign the literal Spanish Inquisition occurred, to have been outraged.

can confirm, I switched and it’s better than Spotify

Every time someone drops into my comments asking about a general strike, I have to remind folks that unlike in Europe we have at will employment here allowing essentially anyone to be fired at any time for any reason, and health insurance tied to employment. The amount of organizing

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good. Stop Using Gasoline To Wash Clothes. Springs Are Ubiquitous & Essential To Modern Life

Said respectfully, this man got a standing ovation saying this in one of the whitest rooms in America

oh one really fun idea i have is that the Supreme Court should resolve the issue before they go around making the whole country do what they say

There are no clean hands in a criminal enterprise.

President Stephen Miller’s fantasies escalate from here . “Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated.” —Anne Frank, 1943

Californians, you can register to vote up to October 20th to vote in this election. They restored voting rights to those convicted of a felony (if they aren't still in serving time), so you can check at registertovote.ca.gov and register again if you want.

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

Trump went for a Covid shot and then set the CDC on fire. If that ain’t that asshole in a nutshell.

Shout-out to all of the white people that think that dressing up as inflatable frogs is an innovation in non-violence that takes power away from authoritarians. The difference is not about the tactic. The difference is about who is in inside the frog costumes. This is BLM "Wall of moms" redux.

Weird how they say that vaccines are bad and the president is good but the president got two vaccines yesterday, I wonder how long it will take before he is forced to wear high heels or starts collecting model trains or whatever they think vaccines do besides save lives

Having an intense craving, not for sushi, but for pickled ginger. *wanders off to the kitchen while considering the state of the pantry*

The simplest proof this is not true is that we have neither a) recipes passed down by the pit masters on how to cook up them giant ass wings nor b) white people doing sick shit to feed Black people to pterodactyls for sport.

gonna keep reposting this until i don't have to www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...

I am never ever going to forgive a single one of these motherfuckers.

I had a lot of convos with people who said they were sympathetic, but Defund the Police was a "bad slogan". I told them it wasn't a slogan. It was an answer. It was an answer to the constant question "what can we do to actually lower crime and make our neighborhood's safer?" Anyway. Here we are.

Omg, this thread!

This ruling flew under many radars given the big rulings on whether deployment itself was legal under Title 10. But it’s very impactful.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

This is the thing that pisses me off- I have been on this site for about 15 minutes and have seen *countless* comparisons to Nazis, all of them dislocated from *this action* that actual Nazis took of cleaning out segregated areas.

October Spooky Reads: What Stalks the Deep by @tkingfisher.com The latest Alex Easton book sees the sworn soldier arriving in the US to help out an old friend, but frankly nothing is what it seems. This is the most Ursula of books: creepy, gross, horrifyingly pragmatic. A+ plotting and dialog

...yeah, Steve, what *did* happen the last few times that the federal government had to intervene in 'sleepy Southern towns?' I'm sure they were thrilled, right? I imagine he knows all of this, but in his maliciousness is hoping his audience doesn't think too hard about it.

He cannot admit he played himself and American consumers. As Trump likes to say “you don’t have the cards.” China has moved on.

This made me so happy

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Legit don’t think there’s anything Trump could do to drop below like 39-40% approval. He could crash the economy AND have the military shooting people in the streets and he’d still poll at like 39.9% lol

Honestly happy they finally realized that it would suck if the roles were reversed and maybe in the future they will be and it won't be norm-loving Biden in charge and maybe we shouldn't set a bad precedent

dogs: I am a boxer-boston terrier mix and I like to go on walks cats: god stapled me together in the womb from several different cats and now I have opposable thumbs

The “we can’t stop thinking about children’s genitals” party strikes again

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

Just hear me out; armed bands of people who can murder anyone at will, on the evidence of "They were resisting being murdered" is actually bad for democracy and paying them to do it more, with the targeted people's money, was a vicious cycle.

...I'm so mad this got killed, I would have played the FUCK out of this game
