It’s the whole campaign

In 1966 the New Jersey Young Republicans gleefully sang racist and antisemitic songs at their gatherings. The lyrics to one went “Riding the Reich in my Mercedes Benz, shooting every kike, saving all my friends." Hartford Courant, 13 February 1966.

this would make george orwell blush

Immigration authorities in Minnesota have identified legal observers by name and address, and in some cases showed up at their homes.

I’ve had knives pulled on me over computer use. I’ve had cops threaten to arrest me if I didn’t show them someone’s borrowing history. I’ve had to ban someone for shitting on the floor. You think I’m going to be cowed by your elitist hissy fit? Lol get real.

A good lesson for faculty is that if you’re trying to bully an academic librarian who used to be a public librarian, it’s not going to work out for you.

WHOA. Camp East Montana in El Paso opened in August and quickly became the deadliest ICE facility, with infamously terrible conditions. Now ICE is closing it, just as they plan to open up a detention camp nearly three times larger in a converted warehouse just outside El Paso.

i really don't think Hegseth realized the diplomatic consequences of that strike

Parties get radicalized in complicated ways, & the process occurs over many many decades. The OR GOP's process of right wing radicalization began in 19-fucking-62 and took over 30 years to fully take.

What five items would you place in a time capsule? Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and maybe Mohammed bin Salman, to be opened, carefully, with precautions, in the year 3026.

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her. Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/t...

The U.S./Israeli bombing of the school in Tehran is less the fault of AI than of the original decision to attack Iran. Targeting errors are entirely predictable in war, whether made by humans or by AI. Critique of operational flaws can inadvertently serve to cleanse a strategic choice of its evil

Watching as liberals realize the Capitol police are police too. ACAB means "all"

I'm celebrating half a century on this planet today and it's also #WorldWildlifeDay. I know there's a lot of darkness, but the world is still full of so much beauty. Let's celebrate it by sharing our favourite wildlife photos.

You can donate from anywhere around the world. I just did. You can too.

Here's a thought, stop holding the pointless event after another year of covering yourself in shame with weak-ass questions and failing to stand up for victimized reporters, and then he won't have anything TO attend.

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

Sounds like Farah Pahlavi just rebuked her own son. #Iran

CHICAGO! TOMORROW!

im sharing this not bc anyone reading it will be shocked but bc it's a good thing to bring to the attention of anyone you might know who is a republican because they find liberals annoying and tiresome. this is your alternative to annoying and tiresome in 2026

I’m still in disbelief that Capitol Police and a Republican senator broke the arm of a Marine in full dress uniform because he was voicing opposition to sending troops to Iran. Horrifying.

WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING DO THIS???? The war is insanely unpopular!!

it doesn’t take a whole lot to recognize that this is a vote that’s going to be hung around your neck for the rest of your careers you can just not do it, it’s pretty easy actually

You materially support the war, even.

WE DID IT! Y’all did it! Holy shit. HOLY SHIT. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

I was proud to author an ordinance in 2023 moving mandating a 30-day rental pre-eviction notice in Minneapolis. Sadly, we’re barely going to pass the temporary 60-day notice tomorrow and then face the threat of a veto. Thank you Saint Paul for being pro-human.

Remember when Sen. Sheehy accidentally shot himself in a national park and pretended he got the wound in a firefight in Afghanistan?

The “Justice for Cricket” button while questioning Noem is priceless Cricket is the dog she shot

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations. May this set a precedent. Remote work should be accessible to all who need it. It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

“There’s no Somali folks in the Epstein Files” Welp

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

“You know Pete Hegseth just bragged that they got 90% of the troops out of their region before this attack began. Why didn’t they do any similar planning and warning for American citizens in harm’s way?”

OMG this Noem hearing guys, just brutal. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) told Noem he wishes Trump would fire her or that she would resign, but then on "a happy note" holds up a blanket for her. "I got you a new Coast Guard blankie. The one you lost."

BREAKING on MS NOW: The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of the panel's Epstein investigation. The vote was 24-19. 5 Republicans voted in favor.

It actually hurts other pro-Palestine politicians like Mamdani and Abughazaleh to lump Platner in with them and pretend like the bad-faith accusations of antisemitism lobbed at them are similarly bad-faith when lobbed at Platner. This is why someone like Platner can poison a progressive coalition.

people are so extraordinary in what they can do

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

hooooooo boy

He agreed with Ben Shapiro that there wasn’t a genocide. That episode released about 6 weeks ago.

Please read this thread. Too often I see folks blaming voters without some realistic sense of the depth and breadth of voter suppression - this is an accurate picture of what too many of our fellow citizens are dealing with.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.
