Every single thing named after Cesar Chavez should be renamed for Dolores Huerta

Seamus Culleton, an Irish national and small business owner who has called the U.S. home for 20 years, remains behind bars in a Texas ICE facility. Despite having no criminal record, being married to a U.S. citizen, and holding a valid work permit, Seamus has been detained since September 2025.

'The New American Gothic', Oil on Canvas by Criselda Vásquez

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Our slow-motion catastrophes are eclipsed by our emergent catastrophes, but they're still catastrophes and we're still suffering them.

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet. It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

“Trans children are perfect.”

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school? We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Trump/Russia Trump/Epstein Epstein/Russia It’s all connected. This afternoon, around 2:50 PM, I’ll take to the Senate Floor to unpack some of the numerous, well-documented connections between these parties. I hope you’ll tune in.

The time has come. Your country needs you. And what it specifically needs is for you to post on TikTok and Facebook AI videos of Trump saying he's reinstating the draft, and to ensure loyalty will be choosing soldiers only among people with pro-Trump social media content. 🫶

🍿 MTG still making sense. This past year really has felt like we’re living in the upside down.

Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.

Trump promised to lower costs and instead engaged in a trade war that sent the cost of everything surging. His presidency is a graveyard of broken promises. Meanwhile, he's doubled his own net worth. Can any of his voters say the same?

Measles during pregnancy can cause: miscarriage or stillbirth premature birth (before the 37th week of pregnancy) your baby having a low birthweight It's important to get medical advice if you're pregnant and have been in close contact with someone who has measles. www.nhs.uk/conditions/m...

The Trump administration’s global havoc is unending. My latest story is about how the Trump admin is amplifying anti vaxx conspiracies just as measles outbreaks are spreading across the globe; many countries have just lost elimination status, and others are on the brink.

She’s a serious candidate; at this point I think most people dismissing her seriousness are at least partially motivated by misogyny; and this is a clearer articulation of a progressive foreign policy than I’ve seen anyone else running for office make

Not a hoax

The selective rejection of authoritative peer-reviewed studies like this one based on the flimsiest of arguments suggests to me that the motivated reasoning displayed by glysophate fanboys is as problematic as the antiscience we encounter in other areas (see #ScienceUnderSiege)

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Commented elsewhere on this gem by quoting John Berger's pre-feminist insight from On Looking.

Let’s be clear — no funding should be used to track or target people for exercising their protected First Amendment rights, as this administration is doing. The Senate must enact concrete measures to rein in Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and ICE’s abuses of power.

While Russia wages a genocidal war on Ukraine, Trump’s inner circle is busy shaking hands and cutting deals. This isn’t diplomacy, it’s complicity. You don’t “end wars” by siding with the aggressor—you legitimize the crimes.

More accounts of STEM professors discussing how fuckable they think their female students and mentees are in emails with Epstein. Comments on these women's looks come up in emails about their pursuit of professional and academic opportunities. STEM is hostile to women on so many levels.

When @rtraister.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social got going I had to check my settings up see if I had the speed turned up. I needed this

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

The people who needed their own half time show are the same people who needed their own water fountains.

🧵The dam is bursting. Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland have all launched criminal investigations into potential human trafficking after the latest release of Epstein documents. Trump has to be nervous. Eastern Europe was one of his prime picking grounds for his trafficking model agency.

This is so despicable it's hard to fathom

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas. For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare. www.startribune.com/walz-demands...

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

some good ideas here...

This is the ICE-masked thug that shot and murdered the woman in Minnesota. Make his face known, and let's get some facial recognition users to make his name known. Trump and DHS are going to try to cover it up.

Wow, put this in the "Explainers Hall of Fame." My goodness this put everything Epstein into perspective. Brava, Asha.
