Oh stop it, both the media for this idiotic reductive narrative and Dem centrists for being such astonishing wimps. The voters of NYC — especially young ones — made their clear choice, so either move along or go sit down. You win nothing by being cautious and scared www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

Alligator Alcatraz has been halted because of the Miccosukee Tribe. But look at how it's reported. Native people constantly fight for not only the land, but human rights -- and their contributions are consistently erased. And everyone does it. Erasing Native voices is the true American pastime.

It’s not a coincidence that Trump picked someone who was so racist against Native tribes and their sovereignty that she was banned from reservations — to lead ICE. Remember Hitler literally wrote about his admiration of the reservation system and Native genocide…

Every music streaming service: I see you've just listened to obscure b-side by that band you like. Obviously you want to follow that with all their most popular songs you're definitely not sick of hearing which is why you listened to that obscure b-side.

Sad as it is to say, the greatest consoling thought I have as we march towards a fascism is how unlikely it is to last not because people are brave, or moral, or prepared to combat it... but because it's expensive to maintain, and the man driving us to it couldn't even keep a fucking casino afloat.

Yay!

I doubt we should have any exception to the policy "The president should not murder his enemies" but I am 100% willing to observe a controlled experiment with n=1 to test my theory. I am a man of science.

90% CUT TO FUNDING to tribal universities. 90%! Indigenous communities are the most vulnerable and first attacked. 37 tribal colleges could just disappear and no one seems to care.

Perfect cheap ending to HBC that it will be sold in the isle between oil changes and garden gear. HBC needs to repatriate all Indigenous items in their collections to Indigenous people and not sell them off.

Native families are abt 2 run out of time 2 receive compensation under the Cobell suit! Descendants of mismanaged Individual Indian Money accounts have until June 30 to file. Not sure if you qualify? Search for your relatives' names here to see if you do:

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

2095? You have got to be kidding.

I don’t care if Elon did drugs at this point. What matters is that scientific journals have estimated that he will be responsible for over twenty million deaths.

The American people have voted against the rule of law. Why won't judges just acknowledge that. Jesus.

At one automotive shop, “fresh high-school graduates can make around $50,000 a year… and six figures within five years, without college debt.” Love this. www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

SCOTUS deadlocked on the case that could have allowed the 1st religious public charter school, leaving in place the ruling that it's unconstitutional. The OK catholic church cited fed Indian boarding schools to argue that the fed govt has funded religious ed before.

If I were the owner of the @washingtonpost.com, I would not do a deal with the people who dismembered my columnist. Seems like a low bar, but Bezos managed to not clear yet another one. The world is awash in capital and that this is the choice should tell you all. He’s so poor, all he has is money.

Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska had to cancel their annual food distribution to tribal citizens after losing federal funding. USDA told the tribe the food program “no longer effectuates agency priorities.”
