I am becoming a single issue voter, and that single issue is, Stephen Miller should be in prison

The Trump administration wants to decrease a mother's allotments for fruits and vegetables from $52 to $13 a month.

When white supremacists described the first black politicians winning elections in the South during Reconstruction, they too called it a "reign of terror" that innocent white people had to suffer under. Black leaders! Elected to federal office! Can you imagine the indignity?!

In a response to the long-debunked "retail theft epidemic," the House voted 348 to 60 for a bill that would exacerbate mass incarceration by sweeping more low-level crime into the federal system and exacerbate the criminalization of poverty. TY to the 59 Democrats who voted NO (see below).

When Rubio abruptly halted foreign aid last year, cleanup crews in Vietnam were forced to abandon one of the largest chemical spills in the world for weeks. Left exposed: open pits of soil contaminated with dioxin, the deadly byproduct of Agent Orange. From Pulitzer finalist “The End of Aid”:

im sick of the media describing a potential “deal” in iran, there is no “deal,” trump is begging them to let him surrender and they wont let him

“The move disqualifies loans for those studying for careers as advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, social workers, counseling and mental health practitioners,..” www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...

On Saturday, Leo Garcia Venegas was wrongfully detained by ICE for a 3rd time in a year. Officers followed him home; he said he’s a citizen and had his REAL ID in hand. But they didn’t care. They tackled and shackled him, no questions asked. We’ve got a hearing tomorrow on our prelim injunction.

swear to god nothing has radicalized like me like watching rich men burn our planet, dry up our freshwater and poison our kids to invent the world’s most powerful technology — a robot chick who laughs at all their jokes

Every day the GOP dismantles democracy further, and fighting it means swimming in their anger, and your own, all day long. It’s heartbreaking and exhausting, but never more so than when you learn that your own Member of Congress has sold out their very blue district in a meaningless bit of theater.

EXCLUSIVE My big behind-the-scenes look into how Gov. Josh Shapiro has courted Amazon amid the mounting backlash to data centers Complete with internal emails, memos, an “exclusive” offer for help with faster permitting and a NDA no one would explain to me. My latest for @heatmap.news 😌

This may seem cruel but keep in mind the money it will save will pay for two days of bombing Iranian schoolchildren

Were they tipped off by the fact that trans athletes weren't a problem for all of human history until conservatives started purchasing every major media institution in 2013 or so

while I understand folks getting their jokes off about dude bringing his cell phone to a bank robbery, I do want to emphasize that the police sought and received more phone data than just the robber's! geofence warrants are basically a digital dragnet! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/chatr...

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you. It changes shape, tosses aside old husks like "divine right of kings" and "bloodlines" and slides right into slick new shells like "meritocracy".

AI identified her as the suspect in a crime spree in states she had never been to. she was in jail for six months before she even got to speak with an officer and they instantly were shown they had no case. she lost everything—her house, dog, car, and was left stranded in north dakota.

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

"The average taxpayer in 2025 paid: $4,049 for weapons and war, vs. $2,492 for Medicaid, which provided health insurance to 68.5 million Americans in 2025 — about one in five Americans."

A word about Gov. Beshear. A. “Justice Involved Population” is a real term. Created not by woke advocates but by CJ researchers and practitioners seeking an easier way to describe the millions of Americans under the control of the criminal justice system. A minority of them are inmates. Many more…

In this “cruelty is the point” era, I think it’s easy to overlook the cruelty inherent in conservative politics pre-Trump. The possibility that government regulation could increase business costs truly shocked the conscience in a way that, for example, executing a wrongly convicted person did not.

How Prison Puppy Programs Make Us Feel Human Again

I tend to agree w people who say innocence cases are the low-hanging fruit of carceral reform, but it's remarkable - & deeply symptomatic - how far Louisiana officials will go to deny that these clear miscarriages of justice occur & even retaliate against their victims apnews.com/article/new-...

Here are the stories of some of the human beings who died horrific deaths from preventable disease because Trump and Musk and their flunkies decided to murder them by gleefully destroying USAID and the entire global aid system:

We have an economic problem masquerading as a political one and if we do not address the billionaire crime syndicate destroying all dimensions of society, we may dilute the fascism a bit by not losing the next election but we sure as hell won't rid ourselves of it.

Mentally where I’m at

Legislative term limits are a goddamn disaster and will ruin your state

Over the last 25 years, six people who contracted measles in the U.S. died from it. A model built by Stanford researchers predicts that if Americans could no longer get the vaccine, measles could kill about 290,000 people in the next 25 years.

Before there was “Heated Rivalry,” there was this New Yorker cartoon by Harry Bliss, published in 2001.

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

Why does the fawning media always call these stains on our democracy “a first” like Trump broke the four-minute mile as opposed to the Constitution

Speaking as someone who is *definitely* going to hell, "The lord only speaks through big naturals" is an objectively hilarious statement.

The Top 1% of U.S. earners now have more wealth than the entire middle class

89% – percentage of disaster aid requests Trump has approved for states with a Republican governor and two Republican senators 23% – percentage of disaster aid requests Trump has approved for states with a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I recently saw Nikson Mathews say about Idaho’s bathroom bill that, “every single day, when I am out in public, I have to ask myself, do I feel like going to jail, or do I feel like being attacked?” So I asked him to write about it for @advocate.com. www.advocate.com/opinion/niks...

As food insecurity runs rampant in the U.S., hunger is being used as punishment. Most U.S. states have restrictions on SNAP benefits for people with probation violations — potentially leaving many vulnerable folks behind:

A 13-year-old girl tried to take her life by cutting her wrists with a plastic knife from the cafeteria after guards took away drawing materials, and was put into isolation without seeing a doctor. The teen was deported to Colombia after nearly two months in confinement

No exaggeration, I think this is one of the most important stories in US health care. MAHA makes a lot more sense if you see it as a hostile takeover by the quackery industry

I have been tricked into watching a show called “90 Day Fiancée,” in which Americans compete against non-Americans for the title of Worst Person on the Planet. They’re all winning.

AI is a threat to your freedom. Cops in Fargo outsourced their investigation to an AI facial recognition program. As a result, Angela Lipps was imprisoned for more than five months without even being interviewed. She lost her home, her job and her dog 🧵 www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Tennessee grandmother spent nearly six months in jail after AI facial recognition mistakenly linked her to a North Dakota bank fraud case

From one perspective, this is a story about grit and determination. From another, it's a damning portrait of a country where someone working full-time at $11/hour lives in a $60-a-night motel with her toddler—then spends evenings DoorDashing with her kid because affordable childcare is nonexistent.

Montana Republican Tim Sheehy voted to scrap solar tax credits after installing panels and battery storage at his Bozeman home.

Read @adamserwer.bsky.social on elite impunity. IMO this is the biggest issue in US politics, the one that underlies all others. It gets too little discussion, because discourse is so heavily governed by precisely the elites who favor the impunity, but beneath the surface, pressure is building.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org
