This is the question I wake up with and go to bed with every day and the rest of my real life is just a deserpate and failing attempt to avoid the question, since I have no answer for it. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Note to editors and journalists: "Successful" military operations that do not appreciably advance or even set back national interests are not actually successful. Characterizing them that way serves only those who are responsible for the errors of judgment that led to them in the first place.

Q: The cost of diesel is averaging $5.38 a gallon right now. What's the message from the Trump administration to truck drivers who are dealing with high fuel costs? LEAVITT: We understand. We hear you. We see you. We are fully tracking this short-term fluctuation in oil and diesel prices.

He needs to. We also need to tar & feather the person who passed him the sticks because no. Look at all that nope. share.google/SD6fwQy6O6kP...

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

MacFarlane: Your briefings were read to you? Crow: That’s right. Most of the time, they come in and they just read a script. And then when you ask questions that are off-script, they are unable to answer them.

14 people have died in ICE custody this year. More than one per week. Inhumane.

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

No thanks to you, bitch.

so true. persons of color even US citizens have been more or less in hiding since ICE began its assaults. not that they have fled--(fled where?)--but they lie low only leaving their houses when necessary for work. being white at least allows freedom to protest, appear in public like this.

I hope one thing that’s becoming apparent with the folks who go after any actually successful progressive politician like AOC or Mamdani “from the left” is that they’re just wreckers; nobody will ever be “good” enough for them.

Congratulations @avilewis.ca and what good news this is for Canadian climate politics (Avi should be known in his own right, but here's a booster for those of you who don't: he's married to Naomi Klein.)

Above: President Trump: "I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better." Below: I thought of the meeting in Anchorage immediately.

Walz: I have a message to our immigrant community here in Minnesota. You are seen, heard, valued, and loved. You add value to our state. You are part of the fabric of what is good about Minnesota. That is a hell of a lot more than I'll say about anybody in the White House.

Ron De Santis bans sociology from the core curriculum at state universities, and in particular, forbids any teaching or discussion of cults, their characteristics and psychology. Wonder why. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Kash Patel could never be the qualified, diligent, and stable FBI Director that Robert Mueller was. I won’t let Director Mueller’s memory be tainted by a vengeful President and his loyalist lackey.

I look at Trump & how he is conducting Foreign affairs & wonder about when it would be considered treason. Documents so secret that only 6 people could have legally reviewed them makes me wonder a lot about the nature of those docs …& who he showed them to/ passed on the details of the contents

Every once in a while I remember that some of the people whose articles I criticize are on here, and a few even follow me. I say this not because I feel bad about criticizing articles but because I should feel bad if my criticism is lazy or flippant. Basically a self-reminder to engage thoughtfully

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

No, it really isn't. I learned it in school 40 years ago. Haven't used it in almost as many years. We care about our basic needs being met. Being forced to draw squiggly lines is not one of them. Healthcare is one. Basic income is another. Housing is another. Child care is another.

big metaphor vibes

Each year we read the names of the victims to honor them. But also to commit to protecting workers, protecting the vulnerable, so that we don't have another tragedy like the fire.

In 1911 146 garment workers - mostly Jewish and Italian immigrant girls and women - died in the fire. The horrific conditions spurred new organizing, many of our unions, including the AFT, were founded in the next few years.

Today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. It was an honor to speak at and introduce Sharon at today's commemoration.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Freedom House’s verdict was bad. V-Dem’s was worse. And today, Bright Line Watch’s is dire. trib.al/voOz01M Experts using data and cross-country comparisons are universally declaring the U.S. is becoming less democratic at a much faster rate than other nations. But we can still turn it around.

​​We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year. Meta got $13.7 BILLION. Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND. Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them. We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

ICE at airports is just laying the groundwork for ICE at polling places btw

At this point literally everyone with a pulse and working brain cells knows what these people ought to do. Except the people in charge of course.

Trump’s transportation secretary is facing harsh criticism and calls to resign after a deadly crash at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

Remember when his Sieg Heil was just a gesture of heartfelt joy?

I'm not anti-semitic. I grew up in Brooklyn & became an Eagle Scout in a mostly Jewish Troop in a Jewish Scout District that met in the basement of a Yeshiva/Synagogue. But I am vehemently anti-zionist. This is not Judaism or Jewish Faith. Zionists use Judaism to cover their internalized-Nazism.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

I KNOW it’s hard to accept that democracy is gone. But the longer you count on elections, the longer everyone will suffer. We CANNOT vote our way out of authoritarianism. It’s simply FACT. We must ORGANIZE OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS to even SURVIVE this, let alone CHANGE it.

Combatants are increasingly killing, terrorizing, and maiming civilians with small drones around the world - I'm compiling as many resources as I can find here. I'm currently working on some more sophisticated dashboard/mapping tools for these incidents that I can hopefully share soon:
