I sound like a broken record, should get on with finishing the book, but since the 1980s John Tanton's organizations have worked through repetition to legitimate this obscure argument, to repudiate diverse immigration since 1965 as well as the civil rights movement that has empowered their children

"Your fathers have said that man’s right to liberty is self-evident. There is no need of argument to make it clear."

Good morning. Birthright citizenship is very clearly the law and foundational (if insufficient) for equality in this country, but racists want it not to be so. That’s all.

lol are they trying to force a sequel to today’s @ifbookspod.bsky.social

Got to go on live radio today in a discussion on birthright citizenship with @akalhan.bsky.social at @whyy.org very exciting whyy.org/episodes/sup...

It’s the perfect time and weather to sit on a stoop

We are sharing behind the scenes footage and extended interviews with all the comrades at the Power to the People Y’all IG.

My kid has suggested that we rename Rutgers Butgers so the university's brand color will be blue instead of red

I usually never take Ubers but recent days have convinced me that priority is a lie

The Supreme Court of the United States is not the only power in this world.

It was not the "amalgamation" part that bothered them; they were very busy "amalgamating." It was the idea that these women and their families would be treated as human beings, they considered such equality a form of enslavement

Wars try to erase the life that was happening before

Future If Books Could Kill/In Bed with the Right mash up just dropped

Tonight my 3 yo was saying happy birthday to her zayde and I asked her to tell him what movie we saw yesterday and she shouted “there’s no crying in baseball!” 😭

Happy non-alignment of spring breaks to all who celebrate! 🤡

I should probably drop @ajbauer.bsky.social’s oped on the history of CBS News here huh time.com/7318570/cbs-...

lol if you discard the children’s book about Cesar Chavez you shouldn’t actually put it in the free little library for other children to pick up and read

U can tell this empire is in decline because so few playgrounds have bathrooms

Look I’m an old leftist punk that brawled with nazi skins and I have literally nothing in common with these people but when I see a soccer mom with a Trans Kids Belong sign screaming FUCK ICE at the top of her lungs I whole heartedly welcome my unlikely new comrade

lol someone just liked this and I chuckled again

You know who’s got my number is the movie theater executive who decides to play the movies of my era in the theater. A League of Their Own, perfect for my children. Here’s a million dollars for popcorn. Done.

I’m not sure things ever worked, really, but all around us are examples of things being made more dysfunctional and worse so that someone can profit, and the erosion grinds us all down and it’s tiring

They started an illegal war of choice during an ideological, racist and sexist purge led by right wing podcasters calling targets on a sieg heiling billionaire’s website, believing their superior genes and brutality would lead to rapid victory and are now facing defeat bsky.app/profile/dunc...

Seeing it laid out here is devastating. I guess I’m interested in how, profit-minded goals that undermined the work never worked and never would have, how leaders purportedly trying to meet financial goals are quietly meeting ideological ones.

A lot of space in the US feels like it hasn’t been cared for, hasn’t been treated with care and reverence

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

My kid got in trouble for bringing walkie talkies to school which is extremely Zack Morris coded

🧵Just five years ago, the IOC put an entire trans participation framework in place recommending that sports move away from exclusionary policies & to stop focusing on testosterone levels. I wrote about the framework when it was passed: www.si.com/olympics/202...

This is the greatest thing I ever saw

Going to university of Maryland tomorrow and devastated to learn that CDepot where my college boyfriend worked closed in February 2025. You don’t visit a place for 20 years and it up and closes on you.

Two decades ago I used to live in a storefront on Henry Street in lower Manhattan and I have just today learned that the street was named after Henry Rutgers and now I work at Rutgers???

✍️ Corinealdi shows these aren't coincidences. Racism, capitalism, militarization, and anti-immigration policy feed on silence about what came before. To document denationalization is to lift the veil. Read her full article here 👇 thefunambulist.net/magazine/fol...

has anyone written an essay about how quickly the commemoration of Chavez has changed? I have never seen such non-hesitation to rename, remove commemoration, etc.

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

Idk 1998 seems recent to me

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

The US doing 419 on a massive institutional scale eh

The students are not my enemy! They tried to tell us that AI was a vector of student cheating we had to labor to get ahead of when in fact people at the top are selling out students and faculty alike (and Penn is working to clog our k12 with this shit). Kids are alright tho.

what if reality wasn't shared in the slightest

I want to make a point that should have been made by the defendants and that really destroys one of the government’s main arguments. It’s about historical practice of processing asylum seekers at land borders.

laying facedown on the carpet to process
