“Maybe the world won’t act, maybe the world won’t help us but there might be a motive to stop this war—every time I document a massacre or event or bombing, I think that maybe through this bombing or this image that the war could stop and this war would end...”

The Democratic Party's resistance to the president's agenda hasn't amounted to much more than symbolic theatrics.

Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Using our database, you can search for organizations and people that have paid the justices, reimbursed them for travel, given them gifts and more.

One of the biggest podcasters on YouTube tried to force me to apologize for writing about misogyny. But he and his fans don’t get to dictate what I do or my worth as a journalist. My response to Ethan Klein: spitfirenews.com/p/ethan-klei...

Sikh American Trumpet Player & Singer Sonny Singh Performs & Talks About Music and Resistance

I just death doula'ed my own father because he said he had no one to talk to about the reality that his cancer will kill him and no one but me will let him say that out loud. This is a man who, when I said I was rated, one day after the assault, that we are bamboo, we bend, but we dont break.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

I know the immediate impulse for this is the leopards eating faces meme but people really need to grapple with the fact that the information environment is so saturated with far right propaganda, people can make these decisions to support Trump without understanding what they're actually doing.

Has anyone at least tried the Kendall Jenner approach and gave ICE some Mexican Coke?

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

Immigrants aren’t taking away your health care. Billionaires are. Public school teachers aren’t cutting your food stamps. Billionaires are. Trans kids aren’t cheating the system to make themselves richer. Billionaires are.

no it’s actually because of the slavery

rightwingers for the last few days have been saying “i didn’t vote for this” since trump announced handing off all data of all of us entire existence to palantir and it’s like sorry! you explicitely did vote for this! this was only going to happen if he won. don’t act concerned now

I interviewed a half-dozen people who knew Elias Rodriguez and went over countless private messages of his and couldn't find any anti-Semitic remarks www.kenklippenstein.com/p/read-elias...

I've obtained private chat messages of the man accused of killing two Israeli Embassy aides in DC, Elias Rodriguez. The messages go right up to the day before the shooting: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/read-elias...

In case you missed it, public records requests I sent to the Texas State Board of Pharmacy revealed that Ken Paxton likely used warrantless access to a database of prescription records to target gender affirming care providers. www.thedissident.news/texas-ag-ken...

I made a long video about the "someone's got to do it" memes, where they came from, what they're really saying, and what these posts reveal about collective trauma, political cynicism, our decaying faith in democratic institutions and so so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrj...

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited Fighting & protesting is much harder on me now than it was 45- 50 years ago! But I will NOT give up. I also will not neglect self care. “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning. As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, “Don’t get in my way…I will run right over you.” Listen to the clip here:

“A new documentary has identified and named an Israeli soldier as the shooter, apparently solving a mystery that was a major focus at the time” The New York Times reports on - and confirms - the exclusive/shocking revelations in Zeteo’s new film ‘Who Killed Shireen?’ www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/w...

Meta has banned the largest Muslim news page on Instagram in India at the behest of the government.

SCOOP: Meta bans the largest Muslim news page in India. The company is working hand in hand with the government to censor social media influencers and journalists in the region for 'anti-national content' following the terror attack in Kashmir.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

If you're not masking and pretending the ongoing Covid pandemic is over, kindly shut the fuck up about vaccine hesitancy and vax rates. You are the one contributing to the problem and helping to dismantle public health! @juliadoubleday.bsky.social outlines it all very well here:

Primaries make sure everyone (including incumbents) bring their A-game, which is what voters deserve! AOC has had multiple primary challengers and has proven herself as the best candidate to her voters every time. :-)

A new report from @cssnyorg.bsky.social finds that freezing the rent on stabilized apartments would save New Yorkers nearly $7 billion over four years. When working people have more money in their pockets, the entire economy benefits. It’s time to give tenants some relief.

If you take anything away from my post, I hope it's this:

They're going after the accreditation of universities and threatening to revoke the ability of accreditors if they don't crack down on DEI and LGBTQ people in academia. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Thanks to @imillhiser.bsky.social, @mjsdc.bsky.social, @stevevladeck.bsky.social, and @chrisgeidner.bsky.social, I have a handle on what went down at SCOTUS over the weekend. To put it in layman's terms, the court told Trump "stop playing in my face." Latest in @thenation.com

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

Every single western pundit, politician, person on this site, pro Israel group, who mindlessly chanted for 18 months, ‘if Hamas released the hostages the war would be over’… should hang their heads in shame, & spend the rest of their lives apologizing, especially for being played by Netanyahu!

I uploaded it to free speech platform Substack for posterity

This is very kind, but I do want to say that no candidate (or incumbent) ever “deserves” a seat. If I’m in the House, I hope people run against me in the primary! Political candidates should have to prove that they’re the best person to represent the people.

I wrote nearly 7k words on Utah's new law claiming to "protect child influencers," why it probably won't do that, and how it raises serious free speech concerns! Thank u to @aricohn.com @jmiers230.bsky.social @attorneynora.bsky.social and all the other brilliant experts who spoke to me.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

This podcast series on how Section 230 came to be and why it’s so important is so fantastic and well done. I cannot recommend it more highly!

If we had known our millennial participation trophies were going to be our peak, we would have cherished them more...

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.
