Friends, “Furious Minds” is out! @lkatfield.bsky.social wrote an important book - one that truly is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the rightwing intellectual scene, the defining ideas on today’s extremist Right, and the ideological traditions they draw on. Please read:

Strongly recommend watching the whole thing

I think it's more than this. To rebuke Jones, Democrats desperate for an AG who will stand up to Trump would have had to sacrifice their own wellbeing in order to uphold norms of decent human behavior that MAGA spits on every day. Democrats are sick of being suckers.

Cheering in the streets in Kensington

The DNC should sue for $16 million

BREAKING: Both Satmar factions decide not to endorse a candidate for mayor and decry the vicious campaign against Mamdani that paints him as hostile to Jews. In letters to their community members, the Satmar leadership calls the attacks against Mamdani false and dangerous.

I think that the next step in the civil resistance campaign to Trump should be inflicting punishment on elites and institutions who cave. They need to understand that there are costs to compliance

An idea for Trump's ballroom when he's finally gone www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

It's fascinating that Trump seems himself so much like I do -- a self-styled monarch spraying the populace with shit. Are there other authoritarian leaders with such a drive towards desecration?

What is the psychology that makes him want to change the subject from glowing headlines about Israel/Gaza to this?

Dinesh D’Souza and Laura Loomer are upset about the prevalence of conspiracy theories on the right www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/o...

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

I went long on James Talarico's Christian populism: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

What breaks my heart about this is how many women are going to blame themselves for their kids' autism diagnoses just so Trump can throw chum to the MAGA movement

"Members see themselves as modern Crusaders, using the Crusader cross as their symbol - a reference to the medieval Christians who fought Muslims for control of Jerusalem."

the DOJ atty (& 2x Harvard grad) who suggested Harvard showed "wanton indifference to antisemitism" once wrote a paper from the perspective of Hitler & expressed admiration for Mein Kampf stunning reporting from @hilaryburns.bsky.social @talkopan.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...

Hard to think of a clearer declaration of dictatorship than "the Crooked game of politics is over"

“If I had capitulated, I would have been a completely frustrated man, because I would feel like someone who has betrayed himself,” MORE STORIES LIKE THIS PLEASE (from @michellegoldberg.bsky.social) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/o...

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

Wow it turns out that appealing to angry MAGA men doesn't help sell jeans to young women www.forbes.com/sites/richar...

@stephenricher.bsky.social and I are going live in one hour - 12 ET - with special guest @michellegoldberg.bsky.social to talk about South Park, the power of political parody, and how to escape the chilling effect on "Terms of Engagement." www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpSR...

I'm curious how many people know without googling who Cory Mills is. I think it's telling that he's nowhere near as well known as, say, George Santos...

Anyone else old enough to remember "South Park Conservatives"?

Am I wrong or is the discourse around this entirely manufactured? I keep seeing claims that "the left is melting down" and the evidence is two people on tiktok. It's like they need wokeness so bad they have to invent it

Longshot but if anyone has tix for Well, I'll Let You Go this week and wants to either sell them or trade for the ones I have later in August please let me know!

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

My hunch had been that there wasn't much in the Epstein docs and Pam Bondi was simply lying when she said the files were on her desk because she thinks MAGA voters are rubes. But this kind of makes me think otherwise?

Peace demonstrators have been beaten, foreign students have been disappeared, and educational institutions have been broken and tarred for being "antisemitic" through a series of tortured jingoistic inferences, while Donald Trump constantly and explicitly tells us what he thinks of Jews

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

NEW: The nominee to run the Office of Special Counsel shared a 911 truther video last year on *911*, has ties to a holocaust denier, and said in a video we uncovered that straight white men are the smartest group and should be prioritized. He’s 30. www.cnn.com/2025/07/02/p...

I keep thinking about how Trump, during his first term, talked about building an alligator-filled moat to use against immigrants, and few really took him seriously, and now he talks about sending Americans to CECOT and it gets brushed off the same way

This is a concentration camp

Pretty thought-provoking op-ed by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social on the politics of censorship, outrage, and intentional provocation in MAGA and Israel-Palestine. Banger of a final line: “Sometimes, however, radicalization is born in the gap between what people feel and what they feel they can say.”
