What happens when Trump pursues his vendetta agenda, purging the government of those who investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election or Trump's wrongdoing in 2020-21? America becomes less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/u...

I appreciate MiB posting on 🦋 so we don't have to get our #PremierLeague news on the Nazi site.

Trump has been president for less than 5 years – about 2% of the history of this country. He's responsible for 22% of the national debt. The budget issue is a Republican long con that has worked spectacularly with people who don't believe in facts.

A Bylines Network special - 10 articles , 21 stories from the frontline of history. These are the real voices of people in Gaza, in personal testimony, interviews and poetry. Gathered over the last six months. Read. Share. Subscriptions. bylinesnetwork.substack.com/s/voices-of-...

NEW: On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. These are their stories.

“the party being led by jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly examine your childs genitals” is a true statement

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

Story updated: the "Cindy Steinberg" account was a troll deliberately stirring up hate behind a fake name and a photo of the OnlyFans creator Faith Hicks, who uploaded a Facebook video in which she tearfully explains she had nothing to do with this: www.facebook.com/watch/?v=131...

Funny how the US has basically the government of Iran now: Supreme Leader who rules by decree, priestly council with token opposition that decides whether the decisions are okay or not on arcane scriptural grounds, and completely ceremonial legislature

Trump wants to punish Harvard by cutting off federal grants but the result is cutting research into cancer, mental health, opioid addiction, sleep deprivation and hundreds of other projects that benefit Americans. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The US denied a visa to a French lawmaker who is critical of Trump policies. Can you imagine how much the GOP would never shut up if the French denied a visa to one of them? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/w...

For white ppl who say your great grandparents came to the U.S. “legally,” remember that U.S. immmig law was EXPLICITLY racist in favor of white Northern European immigrants for most of the 20th century. Affirmative action for white ppl is everywhere if you look. www.lbjlibrary.org/news-and-pre...

Shorter Politco: Real presidents break the law

As an American, I'm ashamed of my govt. www.nokings.org#map

With Musk gone, it’s time to start irritating Trump with “Stephen Miller is the person actually running the country.” Miller has survived longer than anyone in Trump’s orbit, so he’s clearly learned how to stroke Trump’s ego. But it can’t hurt to try. It also appears to be true. Terrifyingly so.

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it

Tim Walz wouldn't have killed The Pope 😏

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

Here’s from tonight. In 2021 Cory Mills created a secret nonprofit he hasn't disclosed to House Ethics. His own congressional office promoted it. He used it, apparently, to fund rescue missions in Afghanistan & Israel—missions he & others told reporters were funded by others. x.com/Sollenberger...

Imagine you’re Timothy Haugh, a decorated general, confirmed unanimously by the Senate to head the NSA. And while you’re traveling abroad, you find out the President just fired you on the advice of a 9/11 truther whose bigotry once got her banned by Uber.

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

Hegseth lasted 50 days -- from confirmation, until sending out classified info over an unclassified, 3rd party channel, a serious crime. 18 high level people took part in this, none had the basic knowledge or common sense to shut it down. Incompetence.

Can anyone show me how to do the 📌 thing? Posts and threads like this are so important to reference later.

Roses are red Violets are blue

Schumer is hoping that enough time will pass and people will forget about this, but we’re not letting up. We refuse to be treated like fools while Democratic leadership sells us out and expects the outrage to fade. Sign & share if you agree: Schumer must step down as Democratic Leader

If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

Depressing, scary, and must read.

United we stand. Divided we fall. #slavaukraina #fuckputin #fucktrump #nomorewar

My heart goes out to Tina and so many who are forced to overcome unspeakable tragedies. This kind of journalism made @cnn.com "the most trusted name in news". Sadly, there aren't enough stories like these in the media nowadays. It's all about outrage, not humanity. www.cnn.com/interactive/...

A new report from the Brattle Group shows that eliminating IRA's clean-energy tax credits would increase generation costs, eliminate jobs, & slow US economic growth. Importantly, this report was commissioned by ConservAmerica, a *conservative group*. conservamerica.org/wp-content/u...

WSJ: there's not a constitutional crisis because the president is allowed to break laws but if there is one it's the left's fault for saying there is one. anyhow, relax

I know people latched on to this to feed a lot of conspiracy theories at the time, but after what Musk’s done in the interim I don’t think there’s a downside for Democrats to quote it to vividly dramatize how much we don’t know what Musk is up to and what he’s technologically capable of doing.
