“More than 400 years of history and a decade of advocacy were torn down Thursday afternoon when National Park Service employees removed every single display at the President’s House, a slavery memorial at Independence National Historical Park.” #philadelphia #history […]

So right now we could wipe cervical cancer off the face of the planet. It's a virus and there is a 100% effective vaccine. We could just end that suffering and death. Gone. That we choose not to do this, to allow the death and suffering to continue, is obscenity, abomination, and the literal […]

American law enforcement‘s message is “treat us like we’re in the first picture or we’ll put you in the second picture”

Philadelphia in candlelight. A city paused. Love showed up for Renee Nicole Good.

ICYMI, yesterday I ran down several examples of federal officers who violated state laws being prosecuted. Yes it would likely be removed to federal court. Yes there would be claims that the officer was discharging his duties. So what. If you don't prosecute now you've given ICE practical immunity.

You know what would solve the problem of the cost of health insurance exploding? Socialized medicine, like every other developed country in the world has. The way Americans pay for healthcare is unique, and uniquely insane. Just sayin'.

The Starbucks strike has begun with stores in 40 cities, as 12,000 unionized workers have been stymied from getting a first contract and relentlessly retaliated against. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social reports on the critical labor action: prospect.org/2025/11/13/s...

The absolute dumbest rich people in the history of the world got together on the group chats and broke their damn brains over Zohran Mamdani. Here's @ryanlcooper.com on why they predictably failed. prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

So with Teen Vogue’s (and countless others’) political reporting being gutted…how do I give these people money? These journalists are still out there, do they ever end up at independent outlets I can subscribe to or something? Any good ways to track that? #askfedi #journalism #teenvogue

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

The reported indictment of NY AG Letitia James is chillingly frightening. James secured verdicts against Trump and his private company for fraud, violating New York State law. He’s not using the full force of the U.S. government to retaliate against her. Trump is a dictator.

Jeff Landry asking Trump’s permission to deploy Louisiana National Guard troops to New Orleans that he could have sent himself is the epitome of weird MAGA masculinity — powerful men earn social and political capital by by performatively debasing themselves for Trump’s benefit.

Did Elon do a Nazi salute? "What matters is that Musk, like Trump before him, knows or intuits that the media is incapable of processing such a gesture when it is made by such an “important” man." (Original title: Elon Musk did a Nazi salute to try to prove there's nothing we can do about it) […]

Okay, so Cory Doctorow published his take on the #freeourfeeds thingy, all about "billionaire-proofing" the Internet (or more accurately, billionaire-proofing social media), and I have some thoughts... https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/14/contesting-popularity/#everybody-samba His main argument […]
