After one of the worst acts of racial terror in our history, *we erased it.* We didn't teach it. We didn't take anyone to trial. Police records disappeared. So did newspaper archives. The silence continued until 2020, when people, you could say, woke up. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...

Rep. Jason Crow's office is seeking a Capitol Police investigation into Trump for what they described as "intimidating, threatening, and concerning" social media posts. It's highly unusual for a member of Congress to request a police investigation into a sitting president of the United States.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago. She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media. All charges against her have been dropped. In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now? TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

Mississippi has long failed to count and report all deaths in local jails that serve the state’s 82 counties, despite a federal requirement to do so. These often dangerous facilities operate virtually free of any state oversight.

Every single self styled Zionist political party opposes partition, the vast majority of the Jewish public oppose partition, and both leaderships of the two major parties in the United States oppose partition. It is a fair question as to what exactly is to be done in the face of this.

NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public www.404media.co/contractor-p...

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV has issued another forceful condemnation of the Trump-Vance ICE raids, calling them “violent” and “extremely disrespectful” to the migrants’ “dignity that is theirs.” The White House has declined to comment.

An extremely important moment for post-Assad Syria.

Interesting to note: she's stumping for a woman who called Israel's assault on Gaza a genocide in April 2024.

Benjamin Netanyahu's de facto propagandist and spokesman, Amit Segal, has written a long and meandering blog post arguing that Turkey is the new Iran and that Israel must prepare for existential measures against the NATO member-state.

It was a different time, a more civilized and gracious era, a epoch where elites could put aside petty differences and gather for leisurely dinner parties with their favorite pedophile ... wait, what the fuck.

Important to remember: If the worst of the Epstein stuff had already been released, there would be no reason for Trump to keep fighting it. If he’s trying to stop it, there’s a reason why.

broadview mayor katrina thompson blames today’s brutality on “out-of-town protesters” who’ve “chosen their fists” over their voices. does this look like cops “protecting [protesters’] free speech”?

Very few people remember this but the Arab League and PLO presented the Biden admin with a peace process proposal that had a two year timeline for Palestinian statehood and a UNSCR mandated international peacekeeping force for Gaza and the WB. They proposed it in spring 2024 and Blinken said no.

New: A site licensing Trump's name is selling merch with the presidential seal — including a $20 beer-pong set with “Presidential themed balls.” Federal law says you can’t manufacture or sell likenesses of the seal without authorization. me, for @forbes.com 1/

If you're a professor at Texas A&M, you'll need to receive written authorization from the university president before discussing this incident on campus.

A great microcosm of what I was discussing a few days ago. It's all well and good that AIPAC has increasingly become persona non grata to the Democratic primary base, but what does that mean in translating anything into concrete politics? Many candidates will simply lie, or obscure their ties.

“In some sense, the cheerfulness was not surprising. The day after President Donald Trump was elected to his second term, shares for GEO Group and CoreCivic jumped by double digits. Trump had repeatedly promised mass deportations on the campaign trail …”

All my random politically unaware friends are making Trump/Epstein jokes. You know what they haven’t said? “I heard Hakeem Jeffries promise to lower the cost of groceries”

NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials. “Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

UPDATE — With Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus), there are now at least 12 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:
