Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states. See if you can spot it! /s Then you can find today's story on p A23

Wow

Cowards

Protect yourself as best as you can. Even if you are a U.S. citizen, please ensure that you have proof of citizenship just in case, ESPECIALLY if you're a POC. If you adopted a child, it is your duty to get them their proper documentation! (If you find the enclosed info valuable, please share.)

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

This image is from Los Angeles in 1992. What are you doing here?

Dominique, prepping for class (Could've paired this with the introduction to Black Reconstruction)

Sharing this here, hoping others will join! Because wtf. I'm attending National Day Laborer Organizing Network's event, “National Emergency Call: Supreme Court's Approval of Racial Profiling” - sign up now to joi www.mobilize.us/ndlon/event/...

What a delightful read!

The behavior of these cowards is infuriating.

The worst people in America are empowered right now

Love their coffee. This bums me out.

This is the dumbest thing ever and that’s saying a lot for the Post

I think this is right. There are also plenty of activists with deep policy knowledge who the party disparages, because of a disdain for “the groups” or whatever

This is all very enraging!

I still don’t understand the turnaround from the rhetoric the uni president was leaning into earlier this year.

it seems so obvious to me that the primary reason people like Mexican Coke better is not cane sugar but rather that it comes in a glass bottle

Ridiculous and cowardly.

Asian Americans Left Out of Immigration Debates, But Not Crackdowns

To the detriment of the entire human race and at horrific cost, there is no affirmative action in the United States for anyone except “contrarian” “heterodox” “thinkers”

Grifters gonna grift

You can doomscroll more tomorrow.

If you would normally have given if this were a natural disaster but haven't given yet... ...you should give.

FINE

💩

Just listen to how Stephen Colbert answered this question off the cuff.

the reason to defend affirmative action wasn’t because racial preferences were perfect but to defend the principle that institutions ought to account for disparities, disadvantage and discrimination. unfortunately we have a large clique of dipshit pundits who could get fooled by a wallet inspector.

You mean learn how to interpret texts and form probing questions? In college?? Wow, we never thought of that, AI brain genius guy.

The rescission bill is the next step in the creeping death of the Senate filibuster -- a process that has accelerated in this administration. But it also is likely to provoke a bit of short- to medium-term chaos. A thread. www.notus.org/congress/app...

These are some of the most odious people alive.

the existence of korean evangelist churches proves to me there are people who will do anything and pay any amount of money to be spared the awful torture of having to think for themselves

As someone who has been writing about comparative democratic decline for a decade, I think we've just seen the two most dangerous signs in the US so far. They are: 1) Successful attacks on media, specifically cowing CBS and defunding NPR 2) The Supreme Court's deference to Trump on executive power

The destruction of public radio is truly an existential threat to books and book culture. I can't say it enough.

!!!

I’m old enough to remember when John Barrasso consistently opposed defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting because CPB’s most important role is financially sustaining radio and TV broadcast infrastructure in places like WYOMING where private enterprise will not connect people to the world.

🚨 The Trump admin is using yet another filibuster-proof budget procedure to cut more federal programs, now targeting congressionally approved funds for foreign aid, NPR and PBS. The Senate is set to vote on HR 4 **THIS WEEK** Demand your Senators VOTE NO 👉 5calls.org/issue/hr4-re...

This week will be pivotal for the future of PBS and NPR, as the Senate plans to vote on ~$1.1 billion in funding. I spoke to station directors in South Dakota and Alaska about what this could mean: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/b...

I don’t understand what took the city so long to join this lawsuit. It has been unimaginable here.

Never thought a politician could be a timeline cleanse but here we are.

🧵

and this is before ICE gets a 10x increase in funding!

The one thing i’ll add is that outside of a previous few, everyone I met there was motivated by rank careerism

Needless to say, glad I cancelled my sub ages ago.

I feel like the LLMs have moved on and at this point, it’s kind of a reply-guy thing to point out. I hope! I love them too.

Omg

Wow I would’ve thought TFP would’ve run with this
