A disgraceful action against this beautiful national treasure. Not a peep from Congress. Trump rules by decree.

“It's really important right now to show Hispanic people being aggressive, being themselves, and I think it's very healing,” says Magdalena Aparicio, director of “Xicano Hardcore: A Mosh For Youth Documentary." The full story: lataco.com/chicano-hard... By Ivan Fernandez

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I think Nixon was the most "tragic Shakespearean character" we've ever had as POTUS. He was extremely smart and talented, and also immensely flawed. He had the actual capacity to be one of the truly great leaders of the last 100 years, but never outran his personal demons.

My mother, who is about to turn 69 years old, protests AT LEAST once per week and is sharing posts on Facebook from, like, Democratic Socialists of America. A woman in her 60s today told me that she'd be willing to... forcefully interrupt an ICE abduction and I know her well enough to believe her.

My favorite professor in college, who I credit to no small extent for me ending up in law school, wrote this great book on the jury and how important it is.

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

The Continental Army of 1775 would have been impressed The men at the siege of Boston were so filthy that clothing was actually rotting off them because they refused to do laundry (which was regarded as women's work) Washington was appalled, and arranged for paid laundresses to maintain hygiene.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

Democrats swept every race yesterday by a bigger margin than expected, and the press story is apparently "Dems did well but there is still a lot to worry about." Needless to say that this is not how a massive Republican shift would be covered.

The GOP took such a hit today that JD Vance is going to make a move on its wife.

You know your historical weapon hobby is a bit out of hand when you stub the shit out of your foot on a 15th century Scottish bill that somehow ended up next to your bed

Virginia's results mean that Democrats will be able to continue their maneuver to advance a constitutional amendment to redistrict the state, including passing it through the state legislature again in January and scheduling a special election referendum for the spring.

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.

Ok imagine Lou Diamond Phillips doesn't leave Meg Ryan for dead at the end of Courage Under Fire and she moves to New Jersey and goes to law school. She's running against a bowl of pasta fazool, who is somehow passing himself off as the ideological heir to Christie Whitman despite being crazy MAGA

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Newsom took a gamble on Prop 50 when it wasn't obvious it'd be a slam dunk, conventional wisdom was generic anti-gerrymandering sentiment might make it a tough lift. Turns out the retaliation context was plenty sufficient, and understood well enough by voters, for a complete rout.

"The United States hasn’t experienced almost a decade of political violence at this point because rhetoric has been too heated. [Political violence] doesn’t come from things like adjusting policies on urban planning but from existential questions about who you are as a political community."

Yeah, if you don't want political violence you should probably not tear the social contract apart, creating a state of Warre

Mostly I don't give a lot of credence to individual investing decisions, but this one is a big enough put by a big enough name to make me sit up and watch closely.

Voter approved plan for dealing with Republicans:

this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

Absolutely right. As we noted in FAULT LINES, Watergate is key to understanding Cheney’s politics

NEW: Senator Durbin and I are demanding that Kristi Noem put a stop to DHS arresting people for filming agents attacking their neighbors. How dare DHS call foul play while it uses taxpayer dollars to record propaganda videos? It is legal to record. It's called accountability.

Holy shit

“Oh, well I just told you about it, so now like all of the rest of us who pay attention to what’s going on, you know all about it. You just heard it, from me, and you know. You’re all caught up. So to repeat: does this concern you?”

"Angler" is down

Abbott's joke about putting a tariff on people makes sense if you read it in the context of hoping to be able to own people again.
