Effective counter that forces an illiberal, pro-apartheid response, or none at all.

If you did not get a chance to yesterday, please take the time to call your U.S. representatives and demand they use their power and voice to legally remove him from office immediately. We cannot allow a humanity-threatening incident to be swept away by the news cycle.

To the people posting "TACO" in response to the President not following through on his threat to make "a whole civilization ... die tonight" . . . what are you doing?

some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this

And some people gave us shit for Don’t Look Up being too over the top. Man oh man do I wish it was.

Only a master deal maker could achieve the status quo of 5 weeks ago in exchange for accomplishing nothing of value and turning his country into a global pariah. Thank you sir

Two hours left to live, what are you guys listening to?

Not all cool people are local election officials, but just about all local election officials are cool people.

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

If you really want to game out the confrontation, taking this last point seriously is how Congress can force a president from office even if supermajorities are unobtainable. The power of the purse is the ultimate power. Not one dime for a tyrant, demand he resign or else *nothing* gets funded.

27 democrats (& growing) call for Trump’s immediate removal. 0 Republicans (MTG did but she’s no longer in Congress). The republican party is a fascist terrorist imperialist death cult.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021

The President of the United States just said “A whole civilization will die tonight.” Any politician or person within the chain of command who does not speak up and do everything in their power to stop this will be complicit in the gravest crime against humanity, and there’s no return from that.

I'll make sure to ask the professor tomorrow in my negotiation workshop the name and efficacy of this tactic

Call me naive but I like to imagine not every single dime of the taxes my family pays goes to Israel to bomb hospitals and schools. Some of it has to go to subsidies for big oil companies and missiles to blow up fishing boats in the Caribbean right?

The way sitting U.S. Senators speak, like they have no power . . .

Impeach this mad king you fucking cowards

I'm going to be the Senator who finally asks, “General, how are you gonna pay for that?”

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

Artemis II is the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972!

I'm not trying to be pedantic here; the language matters. Children of immigrants are not some special, weird category of citizens; they owe their citizenship to the same thing that the vast majority of the rest of us do. That's the point!

Our immigrant loved ones were front of mind as we argued for babies born in the U.S. and everyone who loves them.

wish SCOTUS would examine "a well regulated militia" with the granularity they are debating "domicile"

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

sauer mentions "birth tourism" and roberts says "you know that doesn't matter, right?" lmaoooo

Always ✊

i’m glad the Supreme Court said what we’ve all been thinking: lawyers should be in charge of medicine

Seeing a lot of folks not look past this charged and deceptive headline. A federal judge (Obama appointee) ordered a subpoena pursuant to an ongoing EEOC investigation of a hostile work environment for Jewish faculty (based on national origin/religion/race). www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

If the Israeli Knesset members' lapel pins shaped as little nooses isn't where you say peace-out to that fascist state, you're just carrying residual nostalgia for some fantasy version of Israel that exists only in your head.

What would be the reaction of Democrats in Congress if Russia passed a law that imposed the death penalty by hanging for killing of a person with the intention of “negating the existence of the State of Russia," applied only to Ukrainians (Russian citizens and residents explicitly excluded)?

What this shows is that a staggering 63%(!) of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (from December through February) had no criminal record at all.

This "the left is obsessed with Israel" shit is so hollow. The left was also obsessed with Vietnam and Iraq. It makes sense to be obsessed with a US client state that is bombing 6 different countries, committing genocide, and is our partner in a war of choice that threatens global stability.

Still obsessed with the Jackson State Band's cover of Sticky. Chills every time the sousaphones and drums come in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNEj...

The silo between the base of the party and its representatives has never been wider. Voters: stop supporting a genocidal regime. Lawmakers: stop creating litmus tests.

Poor University of Minnesota comms folks this week. "So, do we have to promote Wurman talking about white supremacists' writings favorably in the Washington Post?"

HOLY SHIT UCONN

The Israeli regime is the Fourth Reich. Its genocidal conquest of the region is possible only because of the bipartisan backing of the U.S.A.

try and imagine a bigger W as an academic

“No Kings! No War!” — Bruce Springsteen St. Paul March 28, 2026

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we build courage. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief today at No Kings protests across the country.

Among the many translations of this is “hahaha Supreme Court you are so fucking gullible”

On the 250th year anniversary of our Declaration of Independence against a king, we have a president who wants his signature on our currency & his name stamped on our institutions. We didn't trade one crown for another. Join the No Kings marches this weekend.

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

This is happening across the country. Indigenous peoples are going to save this world, come hell or high water.

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal. It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

Julius Caesar introduced a coin with his name, image, and the title DICT PERPETVO; dictator for life. It was created in February of 44 B.C. and stopped being minted in March of 44 B.C., for some reason.

Kidnapped and trafficked by masked thugs on Jan 11—while securing funding to cover his health insurance fee (required for spring enrollment). UMN: “University Student Legal Services [said] they could not represent [him] because he was not currently enrolled in classes for the spring semester”

A friend who was at the hearing tipped me off that Judge Brasel asked DOJ if that part of their brief was written by AI. They denied it, but she ordered the attorneys' superiors to provide her an explanation. I couldn't afford to go spend $315 on the full transcript, but it's out there.
