Can’t be repeated enough👇🏽 Just so insane

10 days without clean clothes. 10 days without clean underwear. Shared towels. Allegations of racial profiling. Due process nowhere to be found. Rep. Judy Chu and Sydney Kamlager-Dove say that's what they witnessed at Adelanto Detention Center. If this shocks you, good. It should.

President Epstein speaks.

to my mind the most important biographical fact to know about samuel alito is that he was a member of a group that opposed the admission of women and minorities to princeton www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

Trump’s pick for acting DNI has zero intelligence experience. What he has: a track record of using government power to target Trump’s enemies. By making him acting, no Senate confirmation required. This one matters. joycevance.substack.com/p/if-you-tho...

crazy that under the precedent set by callais, a lily-white congressional delegation formed by "partisan" gerrymandering in a plurality black state passes constitutional muster, while any majority-minority district is constitutionally suspect

“She is a mother of four U.S. citizen children, including an 11-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl, and she runs a cleaning and painting business. She said she is looking forward to attending her first Wednesday service at her Mequon church since being released.”

White House Seeks to Impose Political Test on Billions in Federal Grants A new proposal would allow the administration to block grants if they do not satisfy President Trump’s agenda or support what it calls “anti-American” values. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

"Having spent 16 years researching and writing about US migration and citizenship history for a new book, it was jarring to hear Justice Gorsuch claim during oral argument for Trump v Barbara that there were no immigration laws before the Reconstruction Amendments. That claim is ahistorical." 1/

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

But don’t describe DHS using the language of fascism or Nazism.

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Weird framing. He didn’t choose to step back; they were like fuck you, we’re gonna fix your mess

Funny story: 13 is the same number of service members who died in the pullout from Afghanistan, for which Biden received brutal bipartisan media coverage for months

They’re going to start arresting attorneys who defend immigrants.

🍅🍅🍅Tomatoflation 🍅🍅🍅 Price of tomatoes is up 39.7%. That’s terrible news for food affordability *and* public health. Tomatoes are one of the most popular fresh vegetables. Chart via @weisenthal.bsky.social

According to David Blight’s 2001 book Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory, a commemoration organized by freed slaves and some white missionaries took place on May 1, 1865, in Charleston, S.C., at a former planters’ racetrack time.com/5836444/blac...

Films more likely to star an actor called Chris or a talking animal than a woman over 60, study finds

"Her ordeal illustrates how ICE’s aggressive new policies and warrant-less arrests have led to what legal experts say are an alarming pattern of rights violations against both immigrants and U.S. citizens."

The Justice Department spent Memorial Day weekend deleting the record of who attacked the Capitol. Press releases announcing the charges against Jan. 6 rioters disappeared from DOJ's website. After a Washington Post reporter noticed, DOJ replied on X: "Nothing quiet about it. We are proud," [more]

Notice that the decline is most dramatic in the Midwest. Florida gets the headlines, but the Koch/ALEC-funded attack on higher ed began in the Midwest. Scott Walker kicked it off in Wisconsin, and it has spread from there

There's really no point in further analyzing any Iran deal until the actual details are published, since both the Trump administration and the Iranian regime are inveterate bullshit artists.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Because yeah, he couldn’t have done that.

They found 1.7 Billion dollars for domestic terrorists but no money for the FORTY ACRES AND A MULE STILL OWED

🚨BREAKING: Several prisoners released from Delaney Hall ICE prison in NJ overnight after hundreds of prisoners launch hunger/labor strike. Prisoners have been fed worms in food, black mold inside, Covid/flu spreading. Our @jordanchariton.bsky.social will be live from DH soon. LIVE link below🔽

I was skeptical, but here's the Armed Forces own paper about it. taskandpurpose.com/news/arlingt...

Just noting that the current string of resignations (firings?!?!) from the Trump Cabinet seem to have a common thread, and lack a certain chromosome. #Genderpolitics 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Closing in on the airing of the last @colbertlateshow.bsky.social - here’s something I published today using new @cccr.bsky.social data, showing bipartisan opposition to government pressure on TV networks to cancel shows. Same goes for firing professors. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/colbert-co...

An excerpt from an NPR interview with Stephen Colbert, in which Colbert describes why he loves Elvis Costello's "Jump Up," performed tonight on the last Late Show.

Can anyone who's been harassed or beaten by police despite being unarmed and nonviolent apply? Asking for a movement.

NEW "We even have to include a tabletop exercise of me getting arrested" — Maryland's elections administrator Election directors across the US are preparing for everything from ICE showing up at polling locations to officials being arrested during November's midterms www.wired.com/story/electi...

Pardoning the J6ers polled terribly before the 2024 election, but like a lot of things, was largely ignored as hyperbole at the time. I fully encourage the administration to dig in on this issue ahead of the midterms. Who doesn't love an administration that gives coup participants special treats?

Before the first Trump impeachment, I was one of several historians who updated this book, originally written for the Nixon impeachment. In case anyone thinks that Trump's second term isn't setting new records in corruption and scandal, they can consult this volume.

...helping out people in their states and saying that this is somehow an infringement on their right as a state to oppress the people within its borders and limit their own bodily autonomy if they can somehow access lifelines and help and services from freer states. Where have I heard this before?"

Glad SCOTUS is so dedicated to avoiding voter confusion.

What is to stop Trump from, say, suing the Department of Education next and demanding another 1 Billion dollars for his supporters? What is to stop those supporters from taking half their money and putting it in Trump crypto? He has stolen over a billion dollars in broad daylight.

The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The theft of $1.8 billion in tax money by an unchallenged executive to fund his personal political operatives is exactly the kind of action that sparked the American Revolution.

Also the next somebody says reparations for black people is a ridiculous idea, remind them that we have a reparations program for trying to overthrow the government

The Supreme Court's recent ruling threatens the power of racial-minority voters in Voting Rights Act cases about not just Congress, but also at least 17 state and local governments, NPR finds. n.pr/4wBi07o

Psychotic shit

US Constitution Art 1 Sec 8: Congress shall… have Power to keep quiet about War Operations Powers Act (1973): The president may initiate military operations when he feels like it, and if he does not receive Congressional authorization after 60 days is obligated to change the name of the operation

Pssssssst There already is an answer

Republican donor military contracts

🚨🚨🚨🚨🧵 Broad daylight robbery of the public fisc. This likely exceeds anything Putin or any other dictator ever tried.

Cleaning up Orban’s corruption in Hungary is a huge task after he looted their country for years, and it is certainly something we can watch unfold and learn from.
