I'm honestly embarrassed by how badly Lulu Garcia Navarro fumbled the Tucker Carlson interview. It's also really telling how badly most people on my end of the spectrum are actively misreading the clips they've bothered to watch.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Yale favorably cited Rufo (and a bunch of his buddies) then recommended changing the university's mission, altering faculty hiring, and controlling class content to align with that bigot's bad-faith accusations.

Dems don’t need to spell out in detail how the court should be reformed, but in the face of shameless partisanship like this, they should feel totally unencumbered to a) articulate the double standard and b) promise a reckoning. There’s no defense here, but the justices will notice a non-response.

Good lord, @nicolascottart.bsky.social is a comics genius. #dccomics #comicbookart #comicart #comicbooks

There is no compromise to be had with a movement whose whose whole reason for being, whose core identity is their hatred of Black people and their desire to dominate them. The right wing have their side quests and folk demons of the week, but the whole foundation is anti-Blackness.

The idea that plaintiffs can't win under the VRA if the only alternative maps they can produce would threaten the legislature's political goals could not possibly be more antithetical to the VRA.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

A useful corrective to the vapid discussions of "diversity of opinion" on college campuses right now.

An absolute (justified) ethering by Rick Hasen of today's VRA decision: slate.com/news-and-pol...

There's no rhyme or reason to any of this jurisprudential clusterfuck except reading the room at FedSoc dinner events and working backwards from there.

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

Another blow to @yale.edu's credibility, as lying dimwit hack Bret Stephens praises their pick-me-GOP report for regurgitating the "standard conservative indictment of modern academia." Unsurprisingly, Stephens demands more: universities should stop hiring scholars and hire only right-wing frauds.

First comics I ever bought.

Awesome news and well deserved!

This is not wrong.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani. Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.

Tapping the sign on this most glorious of days. #NCBD #YallNeedComics #Comics

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

I'm going to buy that art, aren't I?

I hate this world.

The conservative intelligentsia is just wildly, cartoonistly racist, and the fact that this gets less elite pushback from the prestige media/commentariat than "woke" does is such a damning indictment of our whole society.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift. Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

Just horrifying to watch once excellent universities voluntarily destroying themselves.

Let's all use this occasion to take a look at the many ways Tennessee Republicans have shown how much they value and respect the Traditional Nuclear Family™

Disgusted by the way @nytimes.com and other papers just shamelessly steal the work of independent folks.

it's so cool how comfortably employed legacy journalists can just follow a bunch of independent journalists, rip off their stories, and still pretend they are better than the rest of us.

There’s so much to say about the remarkable reporting from Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak—and I’ll say a lot of it in Monday’s newsletter. But the most striking thing about all of it is the role & behavior of Chief Justice Roberts. “Calling balls and strikes” this ain’t: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

A small cohort of ("prominent"?) law professors are trying to portray John Eastman as some kind of innocent victim of viewpoint discrimination, and his disbarment as some kind of assault on the First Amendment. That's complete and utter bollocks. As usual, @gabrielmalor.bsky.social brings receipts:

She shouldn't have apologized. Kavanaugh is a racist and a rapist.

One of the biggest labor battles in the US is happening right now in Los Angeles, at USC, where our faculty-union campaign with majority support is being met by nasty, corporate-grade administrative resistance, and national press won't cover it.

At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

She’s out here posting pictures with Brett Kavanaugh. She relishes in access. And we should assess her writings with a grain of salt.

Also embarassed to be an alum. @yale.edu needs leaders with minimal backbone.

I realize this is confusing, but the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran isn’t a domestic political story.

Wowowowowowow

Quit. Substack. Now!

It is crazymaking to listen to the right claim Orban's loss means he was never an authoritarian when people in Hungary feared that opposing him would immiserate their families www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/o...

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

If you havent seen this, make sure you read.

Spoiler alert: nothing trickled down.

This is catastrophic.

Americans are taught that what Hegseth said, is what a Middle Eastern religious fanatic would say.
