The new Trump administration counterterrorism strategy document is not getting nearly enough attention. The document explicitly lists “left-wing extremists,” people with “radically pro-transgender” ideologies, and “anti-fascists” alongside ISIS and cartels as top national security threats. 1/

Lynx held a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and Renee Good ahead of the season opener at Target Center:

lol, they gave Artemis II astronaut (and Philadelphia sports fan) Christina Koch an astronaut Gritty

Goodnight, friends. There's something especially decadent about being in bed to watch the sunset. The air smells like hope and cookouts and a hint of chill. I love you.

Icelandic authorities just rerouted a planned hot water pipeline so as not to disturb an elf hill.

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

"Black people should just leave the South!" is the same as "Trans people should just leave red states!" is the same as "Palestinians should just move to Egypt or Jordan!" is the same as "Lebanese people shouldn't live near Israel's border!"

Spending part of my afternoon in the hammock with the new Joe Ollmann comic. @dandq.bsky.social

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636...

If Republicans enact their planned gerrymandering, they can lose the popular vote by *4 percent* and *still keep the House.* www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

Too many Democratic leaders still don’t see that they’re choosing to play a game where Reps aggressively change the rules to win. If Dems don’t respond in kind, they’ll eventually never win again. The stakes here are whether Americans choose our govt in a democracy or Reps choose in a dictatorship.

I will pay an editorial cartoonist to create this for The Handbasket. email/msg on signal if interested.

Fascists succeed in general because they are willing to take stuff, break rules, get violent, while most of their opponents are not Fascists lose, in general, because they pick (at least) one fight too many with someone they didn't expect to fight back

"It'll be okay as long as we still push through a Democratic majority." No, bitch, it will not be okay. It will never be okay that Black Americans do not have a voice and have to depend on the kindness of strangers who have shown repeatedly that they do not give a shit about us in the voting booth.

Goodnight, friends. Take care of yourselves this evening. Check in with your people. I love you.

Kagan wrote, “It is the rare legislature, as the history of voting discrimination shows, that cannot camouflage racial targeting with race-neutral justifications.”

The Seed Song

The Speaker of the House in Alabama calls on the courts to “overturn the 14th Amendment.” This is the same legislative body, a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps in the Milligan case. x.com/austinpratt_...

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

You can't have my Zoloft.

The 3yo grandkiddo wants to be an orca whale when he grows up.

You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else.

Petition your university. Advocate for opensource tech. Limit the amount of information about your courses that you share on Canvas. Educate students and colleagues about LMSs, surveillance, and data harvesting.

Really wish some person or org could make 17-year-old 5-star football recruits understand the potential political power they hold by simply refusing to go play In states that disenfranchise black voters.

Jeffrey Brown and JT Yost are crowdfunding a new comic that argues for the value of human creation in the face of AI, Climb Every Mountain

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states

"Jews and Black people" is how you say "cosmopolitan communists and race hustlers" in English.

A+ no notes

It is every single university that decided to outsource core university functions to private, for-profit companies.

universities have the brainpower, resources,+ community obligation to develop on-site secure NON PROFIT learning management systems + ed tech overseen by actual educators, not data-extraction censorious surveillance profiteers! VOID THE CONTRACTS theamericanvandal.substack.com/p/mamdani-wi...

"Supreme court’s Voting Rights Act ruling cited misleading data from DoJ" "Exclusive: Data in justice department filing quoted by Samuel Alito in his opinion relied on unusual methodology, a Guardian analysis has found"

Historians: Don't let the fascists command the narrative in public spaces. We have historical records on our side that prove these power grabs are nothing more than white supremacist fantasies being unleashed by Alito's flood gates.

Goodnight, friends. Keep receipts for all the fuckery we have to undo. I love you.

I looked up the value of a crystal football with a logo etched on it. Forty bucks. WTF Marco?

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

The mood on the ground in Tennessee today.

Don't start, Andy. Keep everyone's expectations low. 😘

Apparently the attack on Instructure (Canvas) has been "escalated." Reminder that there's no time like the present to de-online your classes and ditch the LMS.
