Fascinating watching the “No Kings” crowd get worked up over Hunter Biden. Maybe those signs should say, “other genocidal kings please.”

I wrote about shutting down Delaney Hall (with reference to the forthcoming book HOW TO CLOSE A CAMP)

This is so dramatic a change since (checks notes)… 1990 that my immediate reaction is skepticism EVEN THOUGH I know about accelerating wealth concentration. Does someone want to check the numbers? How much of a stock market adjustment would be required to get us back to 1990?

We should make SNAP universal. You could be a millionaire, whatever, you still get your free credit at the grocery store every month, we'll get it back with taxes.

Hahahahhahahhah

This is more than note-worthy.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to Trump’s golden ballroom have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion. Corruption at its finest.

Is there a word to describe when people try to avoid sadness by staying angry?

every remarkable achievement of the state must be undone to prove the state cannot achieve anything. ( if you don't know the screwworm story, see e.g. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch... )

Why is Trump spending so much time attacking our educators? My friend Randi Weingarten has the answer.

Reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Reminder that corporate media is attacking Mayor Mamdani in hopes you don’t realize that the US politicians who marched in the Israel Day parade marched with extremist Knesset politicians who advocate for war crimes, genocide, and nuclear destruction of civilians. www.qasimrashid.com/p/corporate-...

Bombs are falling on gaza the night before eid

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

This is actually evil

ADL put out a new report on record high antisemitism in America, and documents more than 40K cases. Guess how may they document by Muslims and leftists? 3 Not 3%. Three total. Antisemitism is real, and it’s almost entirely coming from Christian nationalists. www.qasimrashid.com/p/who-is-ign...

Teachers: "Please help us get AI out of schools, it's ruining education!" Students: "Please don't make us use AI, it's ruining our lives!" Politicians: "We hear you and we want to help you harness the power of AI." #NihilismAndTechnology

feels like things are escalating rapidly, doesn’t feel great. revoking documents being required in my state to prove citizenship to vote for any reason feels like a significant escalation.

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Framing a decrease in births as “a sovereign injury to the state itself” is quite a mask off moment

The Department of Education continues its march toward re-segregation, now by investigating Stanford for having a teacher education program for people of color, arguing it is discriminatory on the basis of race. The university has chosen to terminate the program.

Award winning poet, Mosab Abu Toha’s aunt was shot in the chest in Jabalia camp, while sitting with her young children, holding her one month old baby, and it fighting for her life. This, under a “ceasefire” #Gaza

This SCOTUS rulings so far: • Universities using race criteria to counter historical racism in admissions is unconstitutional, BUT 1/3

• Trump using race criteria to enact travel bans is constitutional In short—race criteria that centers white people is constitutional, but race criteria otherwise is unconstitutional😐 3/3

• ICE fascists using race criteria to target people of color is constitutional, BUT • State legislatures using race criteria to counter historical voter suppression is unconstitutional, BUT 2/3

Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.

The World is Rejecting Trump's Unwinnable Iran War & Israel's Unforgivable Genocide Trump has no exit strategy from his failed Iran War, so he's doubling down on chaos, belligerent threats, & violence as Israel continues its genocidal rampage across the Mid East. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

When our eldest was 5 we knew he was scared whenever he'd say unprompted, "I'm not scared. I'm not scared at all!" Anyway, Melania Trump just held a press conference to say unprompted she has "no connection to Epstein" and her emails to Ghislane Maxwell were just "casual correspondence." Be best!

This is catastrophic.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

The Israeli military bombs and destroys the Rafi Nai synagogue in Iran. Western media largely ignores the atrocity. I cannot imagine why. 🤔 youtube.com/shorts/XhKYG...

"I can not believe America has becom--" bitch, we have Andrew Jackson on our money. our default money. the only money the bank robot knows how to hand out.

Your regular reminder that complicity with fascism will not protect you or your loved ones.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

There's a paper trail. They are profiting off of war crimes in real time. fortune.com/2026/03/24/p...

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

This is utterly extraordinary. If Hegseth et al got this wrong, think what else is happening with the drug boat strikes and much more. The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm. Gets worse as you read it. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

I hope people are photographing the unmasked ICE agents. Let’s find out who they are.

Israel has struck hospitals, emergency services orgs, K-12 schools, residential homes, sports stadiums, historical and cultural sites, energy infrastructure, desalination plants. Now they are attacking Iranian universities. Just like in Gaza & Lebanon www.instagram.com/p/DWLuPK8jk-...

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

If you have an hour to educate yourself about what is happening in Iran on the ground level, and the context of the US-Iranian relations, I invite you to watch this teach-in that we held: If you find it helpful, feel free to share. ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIZr...

Yay to conscience!!!!! WOKE IS ROARING BACK because it’s so fucking superior to the alternative. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"Protect All Migrants. Abolish Borders" Sticker spotted in Milan

What a remarkable complaint.

Harriet Taylor Mill officially recognised as co-author of 'On Liberty'! dailynous.com/2026/03/19/o...

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.
