Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The real Cartels: Meta, Amazon, Palantir, Spacex.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Watch that. And then tell me how we replace Schumer with her

My inbox has metastasised again to 118 newsletters dating back to mid-December, so I’ve only just got to read this surprisingly heartening essay by a university composition teacher on his surprising success with a return to all-analog, back-to-basics teaching:

a question some brain study types may know all my life (prior to movies/books eg groundhog day) i tend to reliably predict what will happen in the next few seconds its useful sometimes but tiring also i tend to think of close people just before some drama eg death ps I've had 2 grand mal seizures

Oh look, Env Minister Murray Watt just tripled the area of native habitat that tax-shy gas company Arrow Energy can destroy! When LNP's Greg Hunt approved this, he imposed "some of the strictest env conditions in Aus history" Not so strict anymore...1/4 @australiainstitute.org.au

Great speech by Stella winner Michelle de Kretser discussing the censorship around Gaza. Deeply strange its contents were only reported by The Age. Neither ABC nor Guardian write ups of the event mention her powerful comments at all. stella.org.au/2025/05/mich...

"Conservatism is not saying no to change but urging caution," writes Stan Grant. “The role of politics is not to engineer society but to reconcile it.”

#SenatorMurphy gives Homeland Security secretary and dog-exterminator Kristi #Noem an absolute spanking of epic proportions..

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is a total badass. 🙌💪👏👊👇

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

🧪What did Felon 47 accomplish 100 days? Tanked the stock market. Displayed economic illiteracy. Crippled academic institutions and life saving science research. Went after the NIH, DEI, academic journals. Hired incompetent loyalists. Spread propaganda. We have a destructive fascist government.

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

Purported ICE agents raid a courthouse in Charlottesville in plain clothes without badges, ID or warrants, cart off two men without explanation. One of the three men was masked and the detainees were ushered into unmarked van. Video in the article. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

Last Friday, Trump's EPA shut down a Biden-era website mapping locations of dangerous chemical plants.  The chemical industry, which gave over $1M to Trump's inauguration, heavily lobbied the Trump administration to scrap the website. See how this works?

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

In this moment when science is under attack, Australia offers a model of how we can make progress even in the face of massive opposition. theconversation.com/fossil-fuel-...

A reminder that Trump is governing as if he’s never leaving. Think about it. All these partisan changes he’s making to the federal government would work against Republicans if a Democrat ever came back into office. If.

What RFK Jr. said was reprehensible. He should be ashamed of himself and step down.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny. Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

UPDATE RE: Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

I tried to post this, did not succeed. Kudos to my pal Mark Hamill. Here it is.
