Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

Trump has quietly gutted the endangered species act. He does not care about any animals that will now die off and become extinct.

In their infinite wisdom, the Trump admin including RFK jr’s HHS has RESCINDED Biden’s rule for nursing home staffing minimums. Now nursing homes will be even more under staffed than they are now. HHS is spinning it as a “clean-up”. www.naco.org/news/hhs-rel...

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

Giving credit where credit is due #FIFA #FIFApeaceprize

people died for birthright citizenship. i get that it’s more fun to be a pundit when your team has the white house and you get to brag to friends about visiting the oval office; but what i’m wondering is if maybe that’s actually not a good reason to throw away something we fought a civil war to win?

Unfuckingbelievable.

Nothing says “evoking dignity and tradition” like changing the color of a ribbon unchanged in the 48 years of the honors because you are afraid of the colors.

It’s been a busy day, but I want to draw your attention to this critically important paper by @jonshaffer.bsky.social and colleagues. In it, they show that since its strict abortion ban was enacted, Texas has seen a significant increase in EMTALA violations involving obstetric emergencies.

My latest @npr.org story: A Trump administration official has signaled a potential rollback of the racial and ethnic categories approved for the #2030Census and other future federal government forms

“What have I done!” 🤡

hahaha the White House deleted the fascist anti-immigrant slop video after Sabrina Carpenter ratioed them

There is no reason to be polite or decorous about this any more. The current Supreme Court is corrupt. US democracy cannot survive unless it is reformed.

I am taking the next few days off from writing to prepare for a Supreme Court argument. If you want to support Democracy Docket during my pause, here is there link. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests." Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race." Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

MD, OR & IL can all immediately draw new maps via their legislatures. Do it. CO, NY & NJ require constitutional amendments. NY & NJ can pass via legislature. CO would need a ballot initiative. Do it. CA did it. VA is doing it. Do it. Do it now.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Giving the world Dinesh D'Souza and Laura Ingraham is no longer the worst thing Dartmouth has ever done.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. I am so grateful to have been saved.

Almost fifty years since Renee Richards fought for the right to play. The New York Times covered the controversy closely, running this collection of responses from their readers that sounds like it could be run today

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07. If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

One of these things is not like the other. Time from House special election to swearing in (2025): Patronis R-FL - 1 day Fine R-FL - 1 day Walkinshaw D-VA - 1 day Van Epps R-TN - 2 days (scheduled for Dec. 4) Grijalva D-AZ - 50 days

Major decision. In D.C., ICE/CBP can no longer arrest immigrants without a warrant unless they find individualized probable cause of a flight risk. "Viewing all immigrants potentially subject to removal as criminals is, as a legal matter, plain wrong." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Trump's yammering about rebuilding Dulles is a waste of time because the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (which should be on here) already has an approved plan to replace and rebuild IAD's midfield concourses and other facilities. He should shut up and throw money at that.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff. GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him. (This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

Eventually someone will point out that this would also apply to Israel and then we will quietly never hear about it again, alternatively there will be an explicit carve-out for Israel.

Aftyn Behn is surging because people are done with chaos, done with cruelty, and done being ignored. This race is a dead heat in a Trump+22 district. If you’re in TN-07, raise hell the legal way: VOTE like you’re about to flip the whole damn script🔥 @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Oh, Gnome!

This is why military service members should refuse to follow illegal orders. Because when the shit hits the fan, Trunp and Hegseth will deny everything and blame you. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020. Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

To all the charities that have been nagging me about Giving Tuesday since Thanksgiving: (1)I am capable of finding Tuesday without help and (2) you’re off my donation list.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

if this is discrimination, I’m genuinely unsure what you’re supposed to do when a student responds to a prompt with some religious gibberish

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...
