This is incitement from the Vice President, and it should terrify everyone.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

So many examples from the US & UK of right-wing hatred & violence being normalized & accommodated rather than challenged by politicians & media. Ordinary folks want the people who represent them to confront this hatred & violence for what it is, aggressively regressive, not act as though it is okay.

Have any Labour ministers or MPs spoken out about Musk inciting insurrection in the UK today?

Must read www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-g...

I knew the punditry would be embarrassing today but my goodness. It's way worse than I expected.

It is insane watching this many white people prostrate themselves at the altar of Charlie Kirk. Absolutely absurd.

The We Are All DC march to protest against Trump admin’s takeover of DC is currently heading toward the White House: Via @benjalvarez1.bsky.social

I have initial confirmation of a CDC walkout happening - will be looking for news coverage & more details.

After avoiding it during the primary, Andrew Cuomo finally went on the Brian Lehrer Show last week — and lied about his record. The truth is that universal pre-K was won despite the disgraced ex-Governor, not because of him.

I made this point on a recent episode of Normal Men but the reason to be mad at this broken institution isn’t because it changes votes but because it manufactures elite consent for the most vile forms of reaction (in this case anti-Semitism). And elite signaling is important for actual conditions!

Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history. The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple. And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.

No means no, Andrew www.cnn.com/2025/06/26/p...

why am i not surprised he doesn’t understand that no means no

The headline says Mamdani offers only limited lessons for Democrats but the author's only evidence is a series of false and racist attacks by Republicans. Is the lesson that Democrats shouldn't run Muslims or minorities? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

This is obscene.

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

Bill Clinton endorsing Andrew Cuomo encapsulates everything wrong with the NY Democratic Party. I mean the arrogance is incredible.

The New York Times is, sneakily, one of the most anti-trans organizations in the country

This framing exists because the decision is instantly obvious as one of the legal atrocities of US history, like Dred Scot, the 1870s Civil Rights Cases, Korematsu. The Times doesn’t want to say “The Supreme Court stripped rights out of law” so instead it says “Here’s why they did it to themselves”

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

Everyone: don't rank Cuomo, a serial groping disgraced grandmother killer New York Times: don't rank Mamdani, a visionary young man

Harron Walker @harronwawker.bsky.social profiling Jules Gill-Peterson is such a dream, thrilled I got to work on this banger

Fake populists like Trump would always rather face off against corporate Dems than economic populists and democratic socialists. And Cuomo is the walking embodiment of everything that produced Trumpism. Bottom line: this race matters and could turn the tide well beyond NYC.

All are welcome 🏳️‍⚧️

The UK Supreme Court’s transphobic ruling on the definition of woman last week is a defeat for all women—even, ultimately, the self-described feminists celebrating it, and the women who will gain in the short term from their alliance with the carceral state. my latest for @thenation.com

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”. It’s about racism. It’s about state terror. It’s about dehumanization. Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

Happening today!

Our closing keynote is open to all, so join us!

The mainstream press viewpoint is that no one mainstream is racist, and therefore, as ideas approach the mainstream, they become less racist

75% have no criminal records. Just sit with that. www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

This is a great message tool. Make it go viral.

This is horrifying. I keep thinking about this description of her work from the Tufts statement: “Her research focuses on how young adults can use social media in positive, prosocial ways & she is described by her faculty as a hard-working student dedicated to her studies & the Tufts community.”
