Badass. “The McCarthy Era ended when Americans from across the political spectrum finally came together and stood up for the principles in the Constitution against the forces of repression…Those forces have returned. And it is our turn to stand together in defense of our constitutional rights.”

In 2016, Louisiana received $48.3 million to relocate 37 residents or families of Isle de Jean Charles as climate-charged hurricanes and sea-level rise made the community uninhabitable. Years later, Indigenous residents report broken homes — and promises. From our friends at @floodlightnews.org:

"It was founded in Silicon Valley with the sole purpose of amassing a bunch of prospective sociopaths together in one centralized location."

Jacob Chansley aka the QAnon Shaman, known for storming the Capitol on Jan 6, has filed a $40 trillion lawsuit against Trump, Musk's X Corp, the Federal Reserve, the IMF, the World Bank, Israel and others, claiming that he's the real leader of the US. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/phoenix...

I regret to inform you that in addition to the collapse of Reconstruction and the Red Scare we all need to bone up on how Woodrow Wilson cracked down on journalists and dissenters. We've got you covered, with this piece by Adam Hochschild www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you're interested in Paramount, CBS News, the Free Press, or the right-wing takeover of the media, please help spread this around and let's see if we can find out anything interesting :-)

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

this is the time of metonymy. they can't ban absurd words that we invent out of nowhere! "you used the word 'equity'" "actually, the word I used was 'equilty,' referring to the 'quilting' of historico-ideological narratives situated within the episteme"

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

The proliferation of online disinformation targeted at women, which falsely claims that the most effective forms of woman-controlled contraception are dangerous, is an underrated part of the right’s weaponization of epistemic collapse.

I am grateful to Ezra Klein for demonstrating over and over how liberals got us here. The constant appeal to the right by throwing away both principles and the most marginalized. Constantly coming around to an issue too late & only after you’ve helped destroy actual opposition. He’s a case study.

The bothsidesing of our present crisis, and this equating of the Fascist Right and the "extreme Left," is such a fantasy, and it's borne out of a class of people who have been legitimately radicalized because social media allows people to tell them they suck shit, which is unacceptable to them.

Jesus. that’s the fourth mass shooting today

Since he’s crawled back into the limelight amid Trump’s crackdown on left-wing groups, here’s my 2019 profile of Andy Ngo. He’s an anti-antifa propagandist who has a history of whitewashing violent fascist groups, particularly in Portland. jewishcurrents.org/the-making-o...

Governor Tina Kotek said in a statement that she’d reached out to the White House and DHS for an explanation and said there was “no security threat in Portland"

Trump has ordered troops to Portland to fight residents who don’t like ICE deportations. There will be a mass protest response as the entire state sees this for what it is: a fascist military invasion.

Comment period ends on Monday for a proposed rule change that would terminate student visas after 4 years. It also puts limits on exchange visitors and reps of foreign media, and shortens the length of time at the end of the visa from 60 days to 30 days. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Cuomo could never.

The GRFP announcement from NSF cuts out an entire cohort of 2nd year students from consideration, without warning. This is so deeply unfair that it warrants a formal protest from the scientific community. If someone wants to work with me to craft an open letter and solicit signatures, LMK.

A visa limited to just 4 years means that no international students could enroll in a history PhD program at a US university. Not to mention the postdocs and faculty who contribute so much to US higher education. Please let the federal government know what you think about this proposal! 🧵🗃️

26-year-old @katmabu.bsky.social made her name swatting down right-wing talking points on social media. Now she’s hoping internet fame can propel her to Congress. “I just couldn’t watch it anymore. I thought, fuck it, I’m going to run.” From our politics issue:

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

"tech giant Google has allowed the government of Israel to purchase sponsored content spots so that online users searching on the Global Sumud Flotilla will be shown inaccurate, propagandized content accusing the flotilla participants of being allied with violent, terrorist elements"

Ezra Klein and Gavin Newsome's strategy of appeasement is what leads to the far right. Folding on reproductive or trans rights to try and win elections normalizes those positions as moderate rather than extreme

"What do you expect Democrats to do!?!???'

Failing to address climate change is very expensive.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

If you’re not willing to support what an overwhelming number of Democrats have told you they want, what business do you have being state party chairman?
