Thank god. Christ. But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.

I have a long night in front of me. But for those asking how to stay informed about Trump's latest attack on voting and the legal cases that will follow, my advice is to subscribe to Democracy Docket. I started it for times just like this. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The chance of an incident involving nuclear weapons is more likely now than it was during the Cold War.

Best one today!

Matt Barnum reports on new study, Early Grade Retention Harms Adult Earnings (Economist Jiee Zhong) which demonstrates children who are retained might show initial progress but will eventually face significant employability problems including lower earnings as adults nancyebailey.com/2026/03/21/g...

Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe. The cruelty is endless.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

ICE is MASSIVELY overpaying for the concentration camp warehouses it is buying up. Like…four times market value or even more than that. Why do you think that is? Who is getting rich off of this scheme?

The year of the snake is gone To #firehorse is here to help us move on

one of those things you need to watch if for no other reason than the trump administration doesn't want you to:

Precisely this.

🚨 President Trump’s Claim of an “Irrefutable” Argument Supporting His Right to Unilaterally Impose Voter ID and Election Rules May Be Based on Insane Claim that Marriott Hotel Manager Found Secret Text in the Shadows of a Microfilm Copy of the U.S. Constitution electionlawblog.org?p=154326

NEW EPISODE: Republicans know they’re on track to lose the 2026 midterms—and they’re trying to rig the election to stop it. I break down the Save America Act, the most sweeping voter suppression bill in a generation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYsx...

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going. Things are changing, y’all. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump tapped white nationalist Jeremy Carl for Assistant Secretary of State for International Orgs. He called the Civil Rights Act an “anti-white weapon,” pushed the “great replacement,” called Juneteenth a “race hustle,” and compared J6 defendants to Black defendants in Jim Crow trials. 1/2

"From the first moment a soldier is issued a rifle, they are taught a principle so basic it becomes instinct: Know what’s beyond your target." The problem here is it wasn't soldiers who did this: lnk.thebulwark.com/4659MsH

The cruelty of this regime in a nutshell.

House Judiciary Cmte Democrats "Not only has Atty General Bondi failed to bring a single indictment against a single co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But now Bondi and her team are spying on Members of Congress conducting oversight"

Every one of these stories needs to be told. Then told again. And again.

KL: He did it. But it was harmless. White House: It was a mistake. It was an intern. Random observers: He really didn’t see what he posted. Trump: YOURE GOD DAMN RIGHT I ORDERED THE CODE RED

Trump's racism should be no surprise. His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination. He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5. He entered politics with the racist birther lie. There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Easy to agree with Elie here. I don't think an "elections czar" will do it, but every state-level official who cares about democracy - and a battalion of lawyers - better buckle up for what's coming.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

No masks on cops. No masks on cops. No masks on cops. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Unsurprisingly, when your denomination was forged by their support for slavery, they're not going to be great on racial *or* labor issues. To be clear, other denominations aren't perfect, but the difference is real & mappable. Scandinavians, of course, are mostly Lutheran.

Correct.

"Who's city is it Chief? Bovino: "It's our fucking city." And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

To those who think I don't support the First Amendment, even though I represent countless journalists and media orgs (🤷‍♂️), yet another effort my firm is undertaking to protect our free speech rights.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

She warned us all. Nobody wanted to listen. She was right about all of it. He’s even more unhinged than we imagined. We could be just living our peaceful lives right now. But, no.

BILL CLINTON: "Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back."

A grassroots network of mutual aid volunteers called Safe Haven has been doing nearly round-the-clock jail support for everyone released from detainment at Whipple, the federal building ICE operates from. They provide medics, rides, food, clothes, phones—anything people need after being released.
