Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.

In a sane world we’d be helping Iran, Lebanon and Gaza defend themselves from their terrorist neighbors in Israel.

Israel is a rogue terror state that should be sanctioned and barred from the global economy

One is reminded of the story of King Croesus, who, before attacking Persia, consulted the oracle. The oracle told him that if he proceeded, he would destroy a great nation. What Croesus didn't realize was that the nation would be his own.

Just do it. Show up. Ask, on camera, why your Republican colleagues are not there with you.

You can't separate anti-immigrant and anti-trans politics from what is happening with Iran. When MAGA picked transphobia and nativism as its organizing principle, it selected for the capacity to treat entire categories of people as civilizational threats whose elimination is an act of self-defense.

Hi, Congress has the obligation & responsibility to impeach & Remove Trump for his many high crimes & misdemeanors. You are a Representative in Congress. Introduce some fucking article of impeachment today and everyday.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

In a shocking twist, impunity has emboldened a narcissist to descend into full megalomania

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

Dump's post falls under Geneva Convention, articles III & IV: a crime against humanity. And it's not only him, but the whole Trump Regime. It's what you get for not using the 25th Amendment sooner. www.ohchr.org/en/instrumen...

This is going around on X, a new study by SEGM member Riittakerttu Kaltiala (the abusive head of a clinic in Finland) is getting picked up as proof that gender-affirming care doesn't work. The data actually shows something very different from what the authors claim. It's purposefully distorted. 🧵

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

I’m sick of this shit. The mayor made promises about protecting trans healthcare. He’s not following through so we’re holding him accountable That doesn’t mean we all wish we voted for Cuomo! This isn’t a fucking cult! The whole point of being progressive is we can push our electeds to do better!

yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

Every day is Chesterton's fence with these people.

republicans genuinely think you are cattle designed to suffer for their glory

In dissent, Justice Riggs suggests that voters must oust the North Carolina Supreme Court's Republicans in order to restore the state constitutional guarantee to education. Says "voters will reach a breaking point" and elect "a different species of court." www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

And the most frustrating part is how centrists try to launder this to be about political messaging or activist overreach. There's never been anything like this in US history. Caving on any one issue would not have stopped this, it may have actually made it worse by speeding it up.

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe. www.thedissident.news/the-ratchet/

The best way to understand what’s going on is that the Trump administration is attempting to execute on Project 2025’s plan to eliminate all federal funding for transit projects—even though the Congress, which has the power of the purse, keeps on funding them.

Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

AI is a threat to your freedom. Cops in Fargo outsourced their investigation to an AI facial recognition program. As a result, Angela Lipps was imprisoned for more than five months without even being interviewed. She lost her home, her job and her dog 🧵 www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Skrmetti has no binding authority over NY state law which has explicit protections for trans patients. The DOJ coming in and overriding a state AG's enforcement like this is an incredible overreach and shows just how far this admin will go to target trans youth.

The Department of Justice has sent a letter to NY AG Letitia James regarding her order to NYU Langone to resume provision of gender affimring care to trans youth. DOJ says they will defend NYU Langone if the AG takes action against the hospital

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

They're going to use the same tactic they used on trans people to go after gay adoption and surrogacy. Pluck anonymous posts from reddit and use it to build a narrative to push bans like they did with trans care and detransitioners.

Things the 11.3 billion dollars the first 6 days of the Iran war could have paid for: -building 45,000 homes (housing 100,000-150,000 people) -funding childcare for 800,000 children -feeding 5.6 million people for a year -fund every public school lunch program

The biggest private capital firm behind most of the AI hyperscale deals such as Meta's Hyperion and xAI's Colossus, is seemingly in financial distress as it shops its debt holdings at a discount. It's not looking good. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/b...

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%. boltsmag.org/north-caroli...

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

AND that’s just item 1!

Okay. Great

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

This court specifically avoided bringing up challenges on bans for gender affirming care for trans youth on parental rights grounds so they can weaponize parental rights against trans youth while stripping them from the supportive parents of trans youth. It's obscene.

“you and your entire establishment are fascist pissbabies, and our tolerance of that is going to end now” and if i’m really wishing for things i’m thinking “we’re going to start leveling settlements, i’d withdraw from them quickly if i were you, boy”

bibi is just descriptively correct and the next dem needs to just sever all ties with israel. defense, trade, all of it. even thinking on utterly cynical grounds: israeli political leadership and overall politics is overtly opposed to the american left-of-center project

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

They've been talking like that about trans people for awhile now.

the green party victory in the UK is yet another example that a better world is possible and that the world yearns for leftism

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.
