People across the country are fighting for their lives and also to protect their neighbors. They are doing so in the 100s of thousands every single day. You can choose to join the fight or you can pretend that "no one is doing anything."

It's my opinion that it's SUPER easy to make it into adulthood without a Nazi tattoo anywhere on your body

Cuomo can say Kościuszko but not Mamdani?

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas. There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings. There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency. There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

everybody dance ♥️

Du Bois basically did a version of this in his bibliography in Black Reconstruction

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

lol “find your own instead of stealing” in defense of columbus day

A decade ago, when our team at Humane World for Animals Korea began its breakthrough efforts to close dog meat farms in South Korea, we were told that achieving a ban on the dog meat industry in the country would be impossible. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/how-...

I don't understand why U.S. reporters so regularly seem to let politicians get away with 'I haven't seen that' about stuff a) they obviously know and b) is directly relevant to their job. Did they sign some kind of agreement never to ask a follow-up question?

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Every day is worse than the day before

literally anyone who has done abortion rights work in the last 30+ years could tell you that "destroy science by any means necessary" was the only thing on the bingo card

Someone got fired for saying some tame stuff like maybe if you spew hate, hate will be come back to you. But this guy? He won't be fired because there are no standards for conservatives

My take-home message is that mainstream white America doesn’t think white supremacy makes him an awful person

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Why are these morons acting like he was their MLK

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

what a fucking way to find out magic is real

Those who build walls are their own prisoners. I'm going to go fulfil my proper function in the social organism. I'm going to go unbuild walls.

the ai bubble is bursting soon thank god

Nah, he's a hugely influential right wing troll who was elevated as a liberal by centrists and right wingers in the mid-2000s to mid-2010s and if anything is not criticized enough. I wouldn't call him a neoconservative because neoconservatives have beliefs.

you’re telling me the trump administration was lenient toward someone accused of sex crimes against children? crazy

Hold up: if I read this right, Texas Republicans expect a serving representative and Black woman to … accept being shadowed by a police minder? To go to the bathroom?

Lmfao

Is that good

📢 JOB ALERT: Block Club is hiring a full-time reporter to cover Beverly, Morgan Park + Mount Greenwood on Chicago's South Side! Deadline to apply is 9/15: blockclubchi.co/417MIqG

Horrible and unreal

if democrats just would have let republicans put one criminal hatchet man on the court, republicans nearly 40 years later would not have put this criminal hatchet man on a court

once you notice that people simply do not believe that republicans have agency or any responsibility for the actions they take, you see it everywhere

Amazing how peak masculinity for a Republican is swearing that you’re too afraid to go outside

Might not be a better illustration of the conservative legal movement’s foundational lie than “Emil Bove is our revenge for Robert Bork”

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Sometimes I want a one way ticket off this planet

screenshot because this person is being earnest and I don’t want to encourage a dogpile, but this is exactly the kind of thing that I just increasingly have no fucking tolerance for. snake oil bullshit comes from all cultures, and it’s still snake oil bullshit. I don’t find it funny anymore!

I am going to be a massive humorless asshole about woo-woo shit, no matter how seemingly harmless, for the rest of my life due to this. astrology, homeopathic medicine, etc etc it's all bullshit and it's not fucking harmless. there are people who will die due to this who would have otherwise lived.

More ambulances leaving Alligator Alcatraz. One at 10:30 am today and the other at 6:30 pm. Another at 11:57 pm last night, 6:10 pm on July 31st. Florida Department of Emergency Management, which operates the site, refuses to confirm hospitalizations but they are happening.
