Sean Grayson, the officer who murdered Sonya Massey, has been convicted of second-degree murder. While the conviction is a step in the right direction, America still has a long way to go in addressing mental health emergencies and police accountability. www.progressiveamerican.net/p/police-off...

Without Online Trolls, There Would Be No Donald Trump  talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/witho...

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

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.

For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about partisanship and division with comparisons to the 1850s and 60s. My most recent piece goes into that history through the lens of the election of 1860. 🧵

Democracy has never been a finished project. It has always been a struggle for justice, rights, and dignity. ✊📜 That’s why I’m launching my new Substack newsletter: The Democracy Archive! Link here: www.democracyarchive.org/p/coming-so...

1/ I am uncertain whether this article will achieve its intended outcome. After the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, it feels as though words have lost their power. Nonetheless, silence is not an option. 🧵

If you want a good example of taking down anti-LGBTQ propaganda down, this video by @natetalkstoyou.bsky.social is an excellent one! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Mf...

The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery. Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.

BIG WIN: A court ordered the Trump Education Department to reinstate the civil rights workers they fired. I taught kids with disabilities––the kind of students helped by these workers. Every child deserves to be treated fairly. I’m staying in this fight for our kids.

just thinking about it makes me so angry. the worst kind of open race baiting in american politics since george wallace.

Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records in the first degree. This seems on brand.

Republicans are at it again with their gerrymandering nonsense. Texas Republicans are redrawing districts to eliminate 5 Democratic seats. It’s a blatant power grab—and it's completely legal. A thread 🧵 This isn't just about Texas.

The emperor wears no clothes. In yet another display of erratic and unbecoming behavior as President of the United States, Donald Trump has fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer. 🧵

cannot be emphasized enough: Colin Wright (whose publications were retracted because of fraud on the part of his co-author, and who boasted about not learning how to use research tools he was told to master) did not in any meaningful sense try to get a tenure-track job

The Epstein Files Mention Trump: Here’s What We Know www.progressiveamerican.net/p/the-epstei...

French authorities want access to Twitter/X’s recommendations algorithm, and Elon Musk is losing his mind about it. But wasn’t one of Elon’s big promises when he took over Twitter that he was going to allow people access to the algorithm?

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

🚨 Islamophobia is back in full force—this time targeting Zohran Mamdani. GOP lawmakers are smearing him with racist dog whistles and even calling for his deportation. He’s a U.S. citizen. A public servant. And their hatred shows us exactly who they are. 📰 open.substack.com/pub/progress...

Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, “Mark, keep speaking up, you’re our conscience.” I don’t want to be their damn conscience. I want them to vote their conscience.

Trump Supporters' Death Threats Against Meidas www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-supp...

It's midnight in Washington, and in case you're catching up... Tonight Republicans have blocked amendments that would: - Protect food assistance for veterans and families with children - Stop tax cuts for multi-billionaires - Save 20 million people from losing healthcare (Thread 🧵)

So let me get this straight… Under Hegseth’s leadership, the Army is rolling out a policy that could kick out Black men for razor bumps—a medical condition that disproportionately affects us. Meanwhile, troops who refused the COVID vaccine? They got waivers. Sympathy. Career protection. 🧵

Over 100,000 people marched in pride through Budapest in defiance of Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ laws and Orbán’s authoritarian crackdown. Despite the mass surveillance threats and bans on peaceful assembly, the government is facing a powerful challenge. www.progressiveamerican.net/p/pride-and-...
