just going to reiterate this. if immigrants don't have due process, no one does. you can't tell citizens from immigrants without due process. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/if-immigra...

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

This title goes so hard. Been a minute since I’ve pre-ordered a book, but this one feels vital to understand the screaming question of how the fuck did this happen?

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either." youtu.be/603NmGNkfqY

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year. Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police and the FBI

Every Democrat going on air should take the first question and then say something like “Before I answer that I need to express my outrage and disgust at the president’s bigoted and vulgar insults about the Somali people. There is something seriously wrong with him. He is a sick man.”

Doing kegels while hiking 🤌🏔️

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

Stephen Miller going into the white nationalist reading room only to discover Trump has replaced everything with feminist zines

Broadview's mayor said “out-of-towners” had “chosen their fists" but video shows calm before cops grab Rev Michael Woolf from the crowd. “If they were willing to do that to clergy in broad daylight ... I can’t even imagine what they’re doing to our immigrant neighbors," said Rev Luke Harris-Ferree.

I have a half baked theory that people who compulsively pluck their eyebrows also suffer from intense ‘main character syndrome’ and act as if the camera is on them and only them at all times.

Congressional republicans have been spewing racist attacks on Mamdani for weeks and it’s almost never mentioned in our media. Not only that, the person leading the hate campaign—Randy Fine—is treated by the same media as a good faith expert on antisemitism. I wrote about this obscene double standard

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

This is horrifying, my god.

"Hiring professors with PhDs is meaningless if administrators are the ones deciding what gets taught,” he said. “Faculty will start asking not, ‘Is this accurate?’ but ‘Will this get me in trouble?’ That’s not education, it’s risk management.” #HigherEd

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks. So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

In the name of protecting Jews, Jews have their funding cancelled, get kicked out of seminars, and are removed from leadership positions in Jewish Studies to be replaced by non-Jews.

Anywho, this is worth a read!

Newsrooms often hear more from those who doubt the science, leading many to believe that climate contrarianism is more prevalent than it is. @amywestervelt.bsky.social @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/envi...

Now's a good time for Illinois residents to take advantage of a unique right we have to be removed from Clearview's database. Scroll down to IL opt-out here: www.clearview.ai/privacy-and-...

Do not talk to Amy Harmon or the new york times

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Well then maybe we just don't file our taxes next year. They gutted the IRS so it's not like they can catch us all.

There's extensive evidence that just giving poor people money is very effective public policy. The moral panic over what ppl buy with SNAP is about sadism and entitlement. the wealthy enjoy policing and tormenting those they see as their inferiors. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/republican...

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Tag yourself, I’m adderall-addicted dog mom with skittle-haired they/them activist rising, pantsuited girlboss moon.

Today’s front page, the times they are crazy

the insufferable post-leftist and libertarian Intercept comment section knobs who gobbled up this administration's lies about being anti-war are particularly insufferable, and should see mandated community service

Just so we're clear: This administration's blatant, unapologetic choice to deny food to 42 million people—to have the money sitting there and say, "No, we'll let them go hungry"—is simply a more overt display of why homelessness and poverty keep worsening in this country. Because it's *decided.*

So many own goals. Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

'i did not know that there were so many cowards in this country'

The Trump white house being genuinely shocked that there’s more rural poor white people on food stamps than not is peak ”live by the spectacle die by the spectacle” lmfao

The answer to corruption is publicly financed campaigns. This should be the biggest takeaway from NY’s mayoral race. Thanks to public financing, corrupt oligarchs are about to lose the mayoral race. Our piece for @thenation.com based on our new book MASTER PLAN — pass it on: LeverNews.com/book

(from the inbox) Less than an hour later this morning, just before 10:30 at Roscoe and Harding, feds again released gas as they were driving away, unobstructed, from a relatively small number of neighbors.

At the end of this great, heartbreaking, true post by Dan, there are links to resources, organizing tools, whistle flyers/3d printing & orgs that could use our help. 💚

100% this. They are trying to moneyball their way into winning elections as opposed to going out and changing minds.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Not the dumper, but the dumpee: I had someone break up with me via email while they were hiking machu pichu. “It’s not that I don’t love you…..it’s that I love someone else. Who I haven’t met yet.” Anyway. I fell quickly (and deeply) in love with someone new, who is still a dear, dear friend.

This is unhinged, and we should say so. Addiction is a national problem. It is a problem of mental health and of inadequate support for sufferers. Dealing with addiction involves helping the sufferers, not killing people. The most effective way to end the cartels is to end the demand.

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Holy crap, yes @cohen489.bsky.social!!

politicians aren't your friends. they're not your heroes. they're supposed to be working for you, not the other way around.
