We're heartbroken over the death of Huabing Xie — a Chinese immigrant who suffered a fatal seizure at an ICE facility in Imperial Valley, California. Reports from Detention Watch Network show that Xie is one of at least 20 immigrants who've died in ICE custody since Trump's inauguration. 🧵⬇️

They should strike

Today's news in fascism: slavery wasn't bad and you are no longer allowed to criticize the white race for racism because that's racist. In fact don't even utter the word "white" if you're nonwhite because that's racist.

He’ll never get elected. Norms will restrain him. Mueller will get him. He can’t come back from J6. No way he’ll get re-elected. Epstein will bring him down. He’s overplayed his hand. He has dementia. This isn’t who we are. (Fables of the Trumpocene)

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

white women need to keep doing this shit.

So.. officially, I'm the last Black staff columnist left in the Washington Post's opinion section.

Breaking News: Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, calling him a “visionary” leader.

What I like about Newsom is that he says exactly what I say about T rather than the watered down bullshit we usually hear from Dems. He has my support, for now.

At the press conference Tuesday, Wu again said ICE has used "secret police tactics" across the country during immigration enforcement.

With you in spirit, LA. ❤️ from Portugal.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Just read an article by a rich oberlin alum justifying his argument against elite woke universities by saying he grew up “working class” 🙄

Dear God, are you there? It’s me, Tressie. The thing is, God, I’m tired.

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Columbia welcomes its newest faculty hires

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

A curator told me she told her black artists to get what was theirs now because the Black boom will be a a Black bust in five years. That's capitalism for you. hyperallergic.com/1012522/manu...

Democratic Party is on their way to driving away all the progressives along with the working class until all they have left is AIPAC, other lobbyists, and Hollywood to help them with the optics of candidates who are incapable of putting two words together without first checking in with the polls.

A reminder not to store red sauce in Tupperware.

some people go on vacations to sightsee and go on beautiful hikes but nancy mace flies around the country looking at bathrooms

One of the things I learned writing a book about global trade is that thing you got delivered next day started its journey *months* ago in China or SE Asia. A few months from now you will see an explosion of stories about empty shelves. It’s going to blow people’s minds.

NEA funding cuts does not make the faintest dent in federal savings. Any funding that encourages Americans to think and feel for others, they cut. They are no different than the Taliban when they outlawed all music. If there is any support for joy or empathy, they will destroy it.

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

If Musk is leaving, we also need an exterminator to take out all the DOGE incels planted all over the federal government.

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

Happy #Easter

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove from the country, for the time being, any of the individuals slated for possible deportation to El Salvador. The vote is apparently 7-2, with Justices Thomas and Alito in dissent

Accidentally sending Harvard that letter is like signalgate; like sending an innocent man to El Salvador due to an admin error; like calculating tarriffs by trade deficit: we are allowing ourselves to be terrorized by utter buffoons.

Columbia once again failed to protect one of their students Madawi when he pleaded for the administration to protect him from ICE. Columbia is beyond redemption. While all the other universities stand against Trump, Columbia will forever be branded as fascist collaborators.

The Ivy League should quarantine Columbia so their contagion doesn't spread.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

With the threat of universities becoming surveillance states, Fred Morten’s “Undercommons” has never been more relevant than now.

If we want to talk about pain, China went through the great famine and cultural revolution where untold millions died. Americans, and I’m speaking of white people, couldn’t even fucking deal with wearing a mask during Covid. We know who’s going to win this game.

On the podcast: Judith Butler and Aziz Rana join Adam Shatz to discuss Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting support of Palestinian rights, academic freedom, efforts to ensure inclusion on the basis of race, gender and sexual orientation, and more. Listen here: www.lrb.co.uk/podcasts-and...

we are maybe two weeks from jesse watters declaring that it’s gay for men to have sex with women

my offer to america: we bring woke back

Clueless compliant Dems who are counting on the midterms are not fucking getting that there might not be a midterms.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

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.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Is congress that servile? They will actually alienate all their constituents, cost the GOP the election for the next 20 years, and face financial ruin so they could still have their lips locked to his ass?
