Abolish Palantir and ICE!

Saw Indigo Girls at the Castro Theater tonight and for the encore Joan Baez came out, read a poem and then sang one of her songs? What the hell that was amazing.

Whoa!

“Trump name-drops Palantir by ticker symbol, 1st president to hype a stock. It surged $10B in minutes amid a 16% freefall” 4/11/26 finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

Once they’re on their knees they can get a close look at a sharp blade

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

The Trump regime actually let two guys with zero government experience use ChatGPT to cancel $100M in grants—including Holocaust education. A federal judge just humiliated them, called it unconstitutional, and reversed every single cut. Read how she did it: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/a-federal-...

I want to be very clear about what's happening at FDA: The Trump Regime pushed out the most incompetent fuckup of a Commissioner in the agency's history so that they can install someone who **will be even worse for the health of America's children**

Abolish billionaires, data centers, AI and the Army

Trump’s vision of who gets to vote

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

It's the exact same playbook that segregationists ran against the NAACP in the 1950s. They sued to get membership lists in Arkansas during Little Rock, hoping to single them out for retribution. Meanwhile, Alabama -- this same state below -- just outlawed the organization entirely.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

Someone please show this to Mayor Daniel Lurie

New: Trump's $13.1M no-bid paint job at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. 7x what he publicly promised. His "pool guy" got it. Just filed FOIAs for @publiccitizen.org to get to the bottom of it.

Presumably there's an OLC memo blessing these operations (as there is for boat strikes), including b/c targeted killings may implicate 18 U.S. Code § 956 and the Assassination Ban (EO 12333). And I expect any such memo likely relies on the theory direct action is in a NIAC and lawful under LOAC.

We need to redraw our government

Real talent goes to waste while AI slop gets recycled

The gold standard of corruption

ICE detention runs through a fragmented network of county jails, private prisons and federal facilities. A law professor working with immigrant rights groups explains what’s known about where ICE is holding people as of May 2026:

I feel like we are living in the “Thiel and Andreessen Show”, and too many people have no idea. 1/

Yeah!

A little history lesson very worthwhile 5 minjues of your time. "I want to once again push back on the idea that the Republican Party was a revolutionary political party." That Time The Chinese And The Irish Built The American Railroad! open.substack.com/pub/wonkette...

the Democrats retaking the House and Senate, on its own, will not destroy the Republican project. The only way to do that is a broad, years-long cross-ideological commitment to break American conservatism's power base TL;DR congressional Dems must be forced into war with the used car salesmen.

He spent his teenage years decapitating sperm

And it wouldn't even lead to lower prices at the pump! Here's the legendary @pkrugman.bsky.social writing in 2000.

This is true of nearly every elected Democrat in nearly every elected office. Very few Democrats anywhere want good things as intensely as the other side wants bad things.

"The vacuum left after the U.S. abandoned its humanitarian commitments has destabilized some of the most fragile locations in the world and thrown refugee camps further into unrest..." Gee, wonder if this will ever come back to bite us.

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

Someday the oligarchs and warmongers will suffer the consequences of their greed

Well, they probably won’t be secluded and affordable much longer

Extreme Court squashes the vote

My mom who lives in South Africa asked if ICE was still doing their thing. I was like yes, the media has got bored with it and we really don’t know how bad it is. Her response: ‘Oh’ She grew up under apartheid. I have a feeling she understands what that all means.

Support moms with reasonable, practical, necessary solutions

The reasons I despise them just keep piling up. wkamaubell.substack.com/p/substack-c...

I will say that I don't know that I was fully aware of just how corrosive flattery could be before AI came along. Just watching AI suck people into this whirlpool of motivated reasoning and cognitive collapse has really been something.

Yep, he’s going to start another war. Blood for the blood god.

Police are a plague upon our nation

4/ Another officer fired pepper spray through a car window, hitting a 1-year-old girl in the back seat. A bystander filmed her in tears. DHS called the incident a “hoax.” But, as a local pastor at the scene testified later, “there’s literally video evidence.”

Incarceration is a crime

I loved reading Mary Jones's reflections on John Brown. They inspired a project I've been working on. I hope to release it as a zine in 2027. We also feature Mary in our guidebook "Lifting As They Climbed." www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2003-l...

Rubio doesn’t come across as the biggest monster in this administration, but there’s a valid argument that he is. Demolishing USAID was a slow moving atrocity. He must never be freed of responsibility for it.

Yes I will!
