If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

the hard line of 'racism is not part of any conversation' is the very minimum to maintain to have a civilized order, and the reactionary centrists are among the biggest quislings around when it comes to that.

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board:

any outlet that reported the “pro-trans ideology on bullet casings” thing owes the public an apology and an explanation if you are serious about turning down the temperature, start by showing some shame and regret for your role in turning it up in the first place by allowing yourself to be played

Okay, I think we can now say confidently that he was a groyper

The past few days have been a really interesting chapter in my reawakening. Trying to brush away some of the most racist commentary of the past decade as “politics” or “differences of opinion” has really confirmed how poisoned the culture is. Nobody will ever cop to this particular type of pathology

Honoring democracy means eschewing terror as a political tool, but it also means taking people’s words and ideas seriously as a reflection of their goals and personal character.

the cross-section of leftists who are crazy enough to do this and actually capable of planning and executing a successful military operation is at most like 3 people

please do not post things you don’t want to see on The Free Press and Fox News later this evening

A more thorough survey released by Brandeis in July found 90% of faculty at U.S. universities expressed no hostility toward Jews or Israel and the 7% hostile toward Jews tended to be conservatives (not the "extremely liberal" professors hostile toward Israel) www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)

i feel like all the people who theorize institutions or whatever really leave out the fact that they die when you turn them off, you can't really like turn them back on again

www.theresaganz.com The thesis of my book Grand Illusion is that excesses of gold in architecture are a direct indication of despotism. As the White House festoons itself with golden doodads and proposes a gilded new ballroom, I think the thesis holds. Link in bio. 💛⚜️💛

the degree to which these guys are just literal, straight up Nazis is both shocking and massively undercovered by the media

A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Whether it's conservatives assassinating State Senators in Minnesota or liberals refusing to sell Alan Dershowitz pierogis in Martha's Vineyard, both sides have taken incivility to an extreme.

I just made another donation to the Gaza Soup Kitchen, via Jews for Food Aid for People in Gaza. If you can, I hope you'll join me. If you're Jewish, I hope you'll add your name to the now-23,000+ signatories. #SaveGaza

I think everyone should be talking about lot more about how it’s clear the Epstein stuff is a palace coup with JD Vance trying to take over and how Trump had better be careful because they’re trying to fool him. This message should get to him a lot.

There's a ton of great stuff in @lioneltrolling.bsky.social 's 'When The Clock Broke' deserving of a fuller review ...but this tidbit about "new class theory" feels particularly relevant to how Trump uses populism to shield (favored) corporate elites from scrutiny.

Democrats should loudly let it be known right now that anyone who is carrying out corrupt orders—or illegal ones— on Trump's behalf will not be able to hide behind bureaucratic obscurity later. They will be held accountable—politically, or if needed, legally as well. newrepublic.com/article/1980...

@ryanlcooper.com on elite impunity: “any country that completely gives up on accountability for its political class will eventually produce someone like Trump. Open the door to criminals, and sooner or later one will walk through.” prospect.org/politics/202...

All hands on deck to stop the Big Ugly Budget in the House! Squeaker Johnson knows he needs to ram it thru ASAP, before the pressure mounts. If one of 👇 is your Rep, call them 202-224-2131 now. Reach out to anyone you know who might live in the districts.

A lot of critical districts in the greater New York area. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania alone, NJ-7 (Kean), PA-1/7/8 (Fitzpatrick, Mackenzie, Bresnahan). All swing districts. They can be reached by constituents at 202-224-3121, the US Capitol switchboard. Let them know what you think of the bill.

The essence of Trump’s movement is an attack on the very concept of American citizenship. www.unpopularfront.news/p/death-to-a...

Can’t really articulate how furious it makes me to see gentile politicians wield fake charges of antisemitism against Mamdani. It’s not just the plain Islamophobia, it’s the fact that they’re needlessly stoking tensions in a way that puts Jewish New Yorkers at GREATER risk.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely
