Tonight! A special broadcast of Rachel Maddow's recent live event at the 92nd Street Y: A conversation with Steven J. Ross, author of "The Secret War Against Hate" 9pmET on MS NOW

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

State Rep. @jasmineclarkforga.bsky.social wins the Democratic primary in the vacant #GA13, @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social projects. Clark is now poised to become the first Black woman PhD scientist to serve in Congress. My interview with her here: 19thnews.org/2026/05/geor...

Wake up, people. That $1.7+ billion is not a “slush fund”. It’s the payroll of an in-formation standing army. 1/3

PDF Files will soon be payed millions in tax payer dollars by Drumpf. This needs to be everywhere. Please share to spread the word!

TPUSA was promoting an anti-trans event on Juniper's campus when she was stabbed to death Sunday. I'm pretty well-informed + I only heard about this today on the "It Could Happen Here" podcast. Violence against trans and nonbinary people has skyrocketed in recent years. Media coverage is dismal.

Pleased to speak with @theguardian.com about the US boat strikes and this important investigation into the identities of the victims. “I think this was in part a military spectacle to give the illusion of the administration doing something ‘macho’ about drugs.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

This administration is just one organ of a parasite on our body politic that is doing just fine, thank you. melconway.com/Home/pdf/Wha...

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

🌍 The Horn of Africa is in mourning. Farms are barren, deserts are advancing, rivers are drying, pests are spreading, and crops are dying. Climate change is not a distant threat,it’s here. #ClimateAction #HornOfAfrica #ClimateCrisis

A lot of people talking about the past here. Is that what the election is about?

The Generic Right-wing Platform A. Every individual in the population is in exactly one of these two classes: 1. The Entitled, or 2. The Unentitled. It is extremely rare that any individual moves from one class to the other. B. The Government has only two purposes: 1/2

Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, was arrested after confronting Robert F Kennedy Jr about Gaza during a hearing on Capitol Hill: “Congress sent the bombs that kill children in Gaza and paid for them with cuts to Medicaid,” he shouted before his arrest. Follow me if you think this is BS arrest

The push to block ICE's plans to expand detention centers is fueling a coordinated national day of protests on Saturday. www.axios.com/2026/04/24/i...

I am considering updating a 2023 Twitter thread to further stress systems thinking about the question of excess CO2 emissions. One task would be to update the graphic on page 5 by adding the consequences of ocean acidification and ocean freshening. melconway.com/Home/pdf/Dec... 1/4

Our research team estimates that Covid caused 23 million deaths I’m sorry that Dr Bhattacharya felt stressed during the time he pushed for mass infection instead of mass vaccination; a physician friend of mine in Kenya lost 28 patients to Covid IN ONE NIGHT & still has PTSD

Less obvious, but deeper: The absence of critical thinking. Where is that in the public school curriculum?

Like me, you may think you understand the horror of measles and the murder being committed by RFK & co. Read this, if you can handle it--my eyes are tearing up for this splendid child lost--and learn just how much more terrible and heartbreaking it is. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

The Congressional leadership of the Democratic Party is not up to its current task. This is more than a shame; it’s dangerous. 1/29

You’re probably going to hear a lot about what the rich really pay in taxes today. This chart tells the real story.

It's not. Claude Chatbot: "No, CNN has not reported that 75% of Americans support impeaching Donald Trump.This claim appears to be false or a misrepresentation of any actual CNN reporting. .... Polls cited by CNN typically indicate much lower support for impeachment—often in the 40-50% range..."

“It wasn’t only that America was a big, dynamic country with many world-class research institutions. It was that here, unlike so many other places, differences of opinion were encouraged, and the prevailing ethos was to let the best ideas win.” Compelling article, must-read. 🧪

A big step forward today in our fight to hold Big Tech accountable: Meta must face our lawsuit over deliberately designing Instagram to addict kids while downplaying risks their own research showed. Our kids deserve better than companies that profit from their pain.

Scientists warn that the Gulf Stream is shifting north, which means an ocean current collapse is imminent: www.earth.com/news/gulf-st...

I have been very concerned by recent decisions by my university administration to ban pride flags from windows. The reason given have been wholly unsatisfactory. I'm attaching a link to a petition in defense of our free speech rights which you might consider signing.

To everyone in this conversation: I convinced myself in 2021 that this problem is essentially tragic, in the classical sense. That doesn't mean that there is no hope, however. Serious question: Has anyone treated classical tragedy as a game-theory problem? melconway.com/Home/pdf/Zip...

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

I misread this headline "F1 Cancels Races in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia" and thought: "Formula One camel racing, what a concept."

Cognitive Myopia (inability to think beyond the end of your nose) It’s a success killer, and is found everywhere in the top levels of the current US Government Executive. Here are two of many possible types: 1/3

This is brilliant. Rachel Maddow spoke in Canada on March 5 about what’s happening in the U.S. There is a level of directness (especially near the end of the questions) I haven't heard from her before. It is a MUST SEE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGqy...

Please please read this from the archbishop of Chicago www.archchicago.org/statement/-/...

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Focusing on Donald Trump as The Problem in connection with the Iran War is a serious mistake. It is an example of Truncated-System Thinking (TST). We can't afford to go down that path; it will lead us to no action, or worse, incorrect action. 1/4

The fact that this is seen anywhere beyond late-night comedy documents the development of our civilization. dailygalaxy.com/2026/03/a-co...
