Those men are super dangerous drug smuggling terrorists, which is why . . . we are letting them go. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Just remember when they make false claims that #NoKings hates America - it's because they think THEY represent America. Demographically, that's 100% false. In 2016, John Cena teamed up with Love Has No Labels for their We Are America​ campaign. 👇🏼 I'm sure the stats are even more diverse today. ✊🏼🇺🇸

Sunday reading: I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves. This week’s piece:

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

January 6th thugs = ICE thugs…

The raid certainly had that look. I was wondering why the reporting was that apartments were emptied of furniture, mattresses were being thrown into dumpsters, etc. What would you need to do that for, in an "immigration raid?"

This is a long, thoughtful, and brilliant post about how to understand political campaigning & strategy from one of the progressive left's most brilliant thinkers and practitioners @anatosaurus.bsky.social. Read it and listen to her: Bringing a Survey to a Gun Fight open.substack.com/pub/michaelp...

The way things are in the world, you'd think the planet can't provide enough to go round; that everyone is the natural enemy of everyone else. This poison is the work of a few, enabled by the many. It doesn't have to be like this.

anyway already seeing this classic make the rounds once more

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

today i learned dorothy thompson was dragging trumpy tradwives in 19-hundred-and-fucking-41 in Harper's, the same magazine which would 79 years later publish a letter decrying precisely this kind of drag as illiberal cancel culture

Reup: I did a post on ICE goons called, "Butt Cracks and Beer Bellies." Then someone suggest we do a 12-month calendar. www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/29/b...

It’s great to have a Portland-based reporter like @caseyparks.bsky.social to ground the news in reality www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

At a lot of publications there's no accountability when an article is given a bad title. But when it happens at Liberal Currents, all the editors have their pay cut in half. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-left-is-...

It's time ladies and gentlemen, it's time. Do it publicly, loudly and live and get as many foreign news outlets involved as possible.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

#ResistanceRoots #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth In the depths of the Great Depression, Hispanic pecan-shelling workers in Texas endured sweatshop conditions to earn $2 to $3 a week. In 1938, 22-year-old Emma Beatrice Tenayuca led 12,000 workers, mostly women, in a strike for higher wages. /1

Probably the best analysis of the Kirk shooting I’ve heard so far. From Mark Kenny on ABC Insiders this morning.

The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. And not in a good way. 🤬 #WelcomeToTheFall

We should post and repost this 👇🏻

As a colleague mentioned yesterday, Gamergate is one of the five most significant developments in US politics since the Cold War

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Good that the Guardian is calling Kirk “far right” and showings its readers his views - not “common sense”, not “conservative”, but far right conspiracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

*into police radio* "There's some art on the wall, do you read me, art on the wall, we need back up!" "Request for backup acknowledged, can you confirm genre?" "It's satirical, I repeat, satirical" "That's what we were afraid of. Armed units are on the way."
