The state of Oklahoma is attacking tribal hunting & fishing rights, saying that tribal citizens who hunt & fish without a permit from the state will be charged with a crime.

Reminder: The guy demanding credit for a ceasefire in Gaza is the same guy instigating a civil war here at home.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Benny Johnson and Oregon MAGA activist (and convicted J6 felon) David Medina accompanied Kristi Noem during her visit to Portland. Here they are amplifying a local MAGA influencer with some, well, interesting ideas about race and religion.

So everyone on the right so upset about the political violence of Charlie Kirk’s murder (even before we knew the facts) is going to speak out loudly and clearly about this too, right?

I needed to see this today. Perhaps you do as well. ❤️

National Congress of American Indians" "Wounded Knee Was Not a Battle. It Was the Deliberate Mass Killing of 350 Lakota." nativenewsonline.net/currents/nca...

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

What a pathetic and disgraceful statement from Hakeem Jeffries praising Eric Adams.

This was the most fascinating exchange to me. Coates asks whether a liberal going to Evangelical churches and selectively editing exchanges to mock Christians would be "doing politics the right way." Klein says it would if it were done completely differently.

BREAKING: State of Oregon sues to block Trump from deploying Oregon National Guard to Portland. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

p.p.s. It is important to connect Hegseth et al's effort to rewrite history to erase the genocide of Native Americans to the Trump Administration's recent attack on the Smithsonian, including the National Museum of the American Indian nativenewsonline.net/currents/nat...

p.s. My essay on the Wounded Knee massacre can be found here (open access!): www.jstor.org/stable/10.25...

Last word about the massacre to American Horse (Lakota): "The women as they were fleeing with their babes were killed together, shot right through, and the women who were heavy with child were also killed." /fin

I would also add that Hegseth is damaging the prestige of the Medal of Honor by supporting its being awarded to people who committed atrocities against women, children, and the elderly. 7/

Fortunately, history does not work as Hegseth seems to believe. It is never "settled" and the government cannot (at least for now!) impose its interpretation of events on the rest of us--especially an interpretation so at odds with the historical record. 6/

Even Teddy Roosevelt (our least "woke" president ever) called Wounded Knee "a massacre," in which "squaws, children, unarmed Indians, and armed Indians who had surrendered were killed, sometimes cold-bloodedly and with circumstances of marked brutality." 5/

Even in 1890, the massacre was controversial, which is why the US Army awarded so many of its highest award, the Medal of Honor, to soldiers involved. Most of the US casualties were likely victims of "friendly fire": since the Army had surrounded the Lakotas, the soldiers shot one another 4/

Dakota physician Charles Eastman was an eyewitness to the massacre: "Fully three miles from the scene of the massacre we found the body of a woman . . .and from this point on we found them scattered along as they had been relentlessly hunted down and slaughtered, while fleeing for their lives." 3/

US forces surrounded a community of Lakotas along Wounded Knee Creek in 1890 and used the new invention of rapid-firing Hotchkiss cannons to kill large numbers of the population. Soldiers than pursued the survivors for miles, killing them wherever they were found. 2/

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

MacKenzie Scott and Melinda French Gates left their billionaire ex-husbands and it remains clear that whatever moral imperatives either men had previously demonstrated left with them.

Being a feminist can get you fired; being a sex pest will get you preserved in perpetuity.

New York's full-throated defense of this abortion provider is something that I wish we saw modeled across geographies, systems, and industries. The people and institutions who are best funded, most powerful, and most able to fight fascism absolutely must refuse to comply, in advance or otherwise.

In my view, Amy Coney Barrett kicking off her book tour by doing a sold-out event with Bari Weiss and publishing an exclusive excerpt in The Free Press should end the "Supreme Court justices are not motivated by ideology" discourse once and for all ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

The saddest part is that most cishet men also don't benefit from the patriarchal standards of which they live under. They suffer alone, because you can't ask for help, and the only emotion that they are allowed to feel is rage. Only the oppressor succeeds.

something that drives me nuts is how legacy media will write that "scholars question legality" of a trump administration action when there is not a shred of evidence that it is in fact legal. it leaves room for the federal government to manufacture a legal justification when literally none exists.

“The fact is that our Present has become the very Past we desperately hoped we had outrun. History, as it turns out, has swifter feet than even the most alert of us could’ve expected.”

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk
