You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

“David Brody, one of the two agents, said he could not answer questions from a reporter.”

this cannot stand.

We are in a full on dictatorship, rivaling the most entrenched ones in the world. Anti ICE activists, who printed a zine, are labeled “terrorist” and sentenced to 30-100 years in federal prison. By this metric we’re all targets. Genuinely chilling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

When politicians tell you they can't help people because their hands are tied, they're lying. They just care more about their own pockets. Mamdani is an exception, but he should be the norm.

it’s probably too much to say this is musk’s plan, but musk benefits from low social trust and he’s aware that he benefits from it, and his social media site is a machine that destroys social trust

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

In his decision for SCOTUS published this morning, Justice Alito dismissed the idea that the Trump administration would halt all asylum seekers as a mere "hypothetical" not even worth considering.

You will be hearing A LOT from me in the coming months and years about improved Medicare for All. I was pushing this 2 decades ago, 1 decade ago, and still. Here's me talking about this in 2017: inthesetimes.com/article/mari... - The US left MUST mount a CONCERTED push now.

The Tea Party was a top-down astroturfed marketing campaign to rebrand the right wing of the GOP to a something that wasn't associated with George W. Bush's toxic Presidency. The extent to which it was an "insurgency" or "anti-establishment" is wildly overstated.

Families of those killed and missing say investigations have stalled as accountability remains out of reach.

The advances in cancer have been so fast that if you’re a doctor who doesn’t specialize in cancer, you simply can’t keep up. There are cancers that I learned are incurable in med school (‘98-2002) that are now cured or managed as long-term issues. Insane levels of ignorance from Peter Thiel 😳

Hard to overstate how much "hang the race traitors, first thing" is core to violent accelerationist white supremacist fantasy

So Elon is calling for Day of The Rope, now. Great, awesome Delete your Twitter account already

More than 4.7 million people nationwide have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, also known as food stamps, since Trump’s signature tax and spending law took effect last July, according to data through March from the Department of Agriculture — about 11% of participants.

Blanche v. Lau is devastating for green card holders. It means that if they leave the U.S. then return, a border officer can claim they committed a crime at some point, revoke their lawful status, and confiscate their green card without meaningful evidence of wrongdoing. It's really, really bad.

Philly's Dem Party did a huge purge of progressives from their volunteer turnout leader (committeeperson) slots, kneecapping *their own* turnout ability right before the last presidential election. They cared more about maintaining loyalty to establishment in the ranks than beating Trump

Boston residents can receive up to $100 in coupons to spend on fresh food at local farmers markets this summer, but the deadline to apply is fast approaching. on.nbcboston.com/CtvHIrb

Postmaster general says USPS won’t deliver mail ballots if states don’t give Trump admin voter rolls — they are saying directly that they are planning to steal the election this Fall. newrepublic.com/post/212287/...

With OpenAI and Anthropic coming forward with how fucked up their financial structures are, this is a really really good time for Dems to pick up that pile of $100 bills sitting on the sidewalk

genuinely crazy to watch these people freak out over what is essentially 21st century new dealism

The growing wave of progressive populists understand that raising taxes on billionaires is overwhelmingly popular — 77% of voters support doing so, including 71% of Independents and 65% of Republicans.

NEW: A Minnesota home seller has been found liable for violating state laws in a "contract-for-deed" home financing scheme that targeted East African Muslims in Minneapolis with deceptive real estate deals marketed as “sharia compliant.”

40 people confirmed dead in France during this heatwave - many from drowning as people sought refuge in the sea. European policy makers regularly present the risk of climate change as people from “over there” emigrating into Europe but the biggest risk with climate change is that people will die.

New: Are there truly many, well-paid jobs available for those without a four-year degree? That's the emerging narrative; I looked at the data. Tl:dr: This graph that breaks down occupation by annual wages and the share of workers who hold a four-year degree. www.chalkbeat.org/2026/06/23/s...

honestly, what is it going to take for European governments to at a minimum block this guys fascism app within their borders

I know this sounds silly on its face, but the one thing I learned is you do not fuck with fishing rights. Google the cod wars. then google the pacific salmon wars.

Gorsuch, speaking for the stolen majority: “Non-Christian (Black) prisoners have no rights which prison guards are bound to respect” (accurately paraphrasing.)

Pretty clear the charge that Musk has killed millions of children bothers him. I find this surprising and we should exploit it. The world deserves to know that he’s killed millions of children and he deserves to suffer for the rest of his disgusting life.

i think it is great that conservative students functionally work as a volunteer stasi for republican politicians and conservative media

Tech firms should release environmental data on AI and universities should measure use. But there's tonnes of research on the ecological impacts of gen AI and data centres already - PRODUCED BY ACADEMICS IN UNIVERSITIES. The evidence is not hidden, it's just that sector 'leaders' don't care

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

1. She changed her ID to comply with Kansas’ new anti-trans law. Now, the state wants to put her in jail for having an inaccurate license. Kris Ripper is being charged with driving with an invalid license—a class B misdemeanor—after a cop refused to believe the ID the state forced on her was valid.

Solid counter fascist work www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Has anyone done something the data-hungry internet becoming unusable for people who value privacy? I have on some basic privacy/safety measures — lockdown mode, VPN, tracker blocker, etc — and increasingly can't buy movie tickets, can't book a restaurant, can't book a hotel, just get errors

Data centers and ICE look to be the career killers tonight.

building up local cadres in state government > trying to take over the top level party without the same ability to maintain machine connections

the thing about greenblatt is that this is a dude who watched elon musk give a "heil hitler" and then said "looks like nothing to me." why would anyone take him seriously?

23-year-old Daniel Cressy just became the first person in Louisiana to be functionally cured of sickle cell disease through gene therapy www.fox8live.com/2026/06/23/n...

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.

The Trump regime publicly promised it wouldn't go forward with its $1.8B slush fund to reward Trump's treasonous co-conspirators. But it won't put that pledge in writing for a judge. The regime knows perjury is a felony, but it thinks lying to the public is just good politics.

Britain about to get its seventh Prime Minister in ten years. I can’t say I’m surprised. As a people they’re often wonderful of course—very musical, for example, many charming customs, and always joking around in their quirky way—but they just don’t have the temperament for stable self-government.

Something I’ve glimpsed during the NBA finals and the World Cup are how much we need—and how much cities thrive on—experiences of shared joy. The understanding of how important this is (which might simply be the state of not being a sociopath) should be a big priority in 2028.

BREAKING: The Senate has joined the House in voting to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran and block Trump's authority to wage this war. Four Republicans broke ranks in the bipartisan 50-48 vote.

musk is *uniquely* dependent on the federal teat to a degree that’s unusual even by the tech billionaire class, which is why a democratic house should make him public enemy number one: he’s a very big target who is extremely vulnerable, and they should make an example out of him

Two Republican county commissioners who approved an application from Canadian Shark Tank judge Kevin O'Leary to build a single AI data center that would use more than twice the electricity as the entire state of Utah are losing their primaries
