The California Republican Party has released a memo calling for its county committees to block candidates aligned with Nick Fuentes and the groypers. "...their influence is growing with Party infrastructure and their intentions are destructive." cagop.org/wp-content/u...

If someone yelled "9/11 was bad" at my wife while she's wearing a hijab, our being angry about that would not mean we co-signed 9/11. If you cannot understand that an anodyne (or even correct!) moral sentiment can be weaponized by racist assholes, your brain is cheese.

Again, I simply can't imagine choosing to dedicate my entire academic career to making bad faith, historically illiterate arguments that people born in America are not citizens.

Senate committee advances Markwayne Mullin's nomination to lead DHS. 8-7 vote. Rand Paul votes no. John Fetterman votes yes. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Under Paramount's ownership, CNN could try to appease Trump with “a lot of both-sidesism, false equivalencies, and a lot of boring and uninteresting newscasts where opinions of differing validity are given equal weight,” FPF's Seth Stern told @kpaoletta.bsky.social in @columjournreview.bsky.social.

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up. Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

This is objectively funny

This is basically the opposite of set theory

Labor leaders, and community partners announce the launch of Oakland and Alameda County Living Wage for All Campaign in California – Filing Ballot Initiatives for $30 minimum wage

Bari Weiss' biggest problem isn't that she's bad at journalism (she wasn't hired to do journalism), it's that she's bad at ratings-grabbing agitprop.

Fantastic piece about what it's like being a legal observer amidst police violence. His tale starts with a friend's lawyer dad shot with a rubber bullet by cops at the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle. And, the writer's experience maps the trajectory of the militarization of U.S. protest policing.

Fixed those shirts she was selling.

People getting in a froth over a tweet from 2019 is pretty hilarious. You may want to see what he has to say about it today. I highly doubt he would say this now.

UC Irvine criminologist Charis E. Kubrin keeps proving that immigration doesn’t increase crime. A lot of people refuse to believe her.

The perpetrator coerced a 13 year old girl into making sexually explicit content.

The Justice Department credits the Trump administration's new Homeland Security Task Force with uncovering and busting a drug conspiracy the year before the task force was created.

All of these are policies they're already supposed to be following. So why would anyone believe they'll start following them in exchange for DHS funding. I mean, come on. The proper response to "We won't deport U.S. citizens if you fund DHS" is, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

A trial on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, ‌the first prime minister of Congo. Lumumba's ​granddaughter wants "to search for truth and to establish different responsibilities." A 1975 Senate inquiry found the CIA had planned to kill Lumumba, although the plan was never carried out.

🚨Bovino given the boot! After Trump pulled Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino—who's drawn comparisons to infamous Nazis—out of Minnesota, he is now quietly retiring. @jordanchariton.bsky.social reports/recap of Bovino's reign of terror.

Why We Have to Fight Back Against ICE Protesters’ Terror Convictions; Trump has for years been throwing charges at protesters and seeing what sticks. He always failed — until now… @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/03/17/i...

Yes,the emerging line is wily, ruthless Israel tricked poor, trusting, naive Donald Trump into a stupid, reckless war. GMAFB. Israel has absolutely pushed for this but ultimately it’s DONALD TRUMP who decided to take the US to war. He likes war! He likes blowing things up! He literally says it’s fun

Joe Kent is a right-wing lunatic with a “PANZER” tattoo (yes, in the original German), has close ties to White Nationalists and extremist paramilitary groups, he has consulted with Fuentes about social media strategy, employed a Proud Boy on his campaign - and that’s just off the top off my head.

what

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Elon Musk was once so mad that a random guy based in Thailand made fun of his failed cave rescue effort that he accused him of pedophilia and hired a private investigator to dig into his life.

Washington Post executives were troubled to learn that a single story could cost...thousands of dollars. Thank god they weren't around during the WaPo's coverage of Watergate, CIA dark prisons, or any of the many other stories that helped changed the world. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/b...

One of sobering stories I've read on the war. Some quotes: “The regime is now even more radicalized" “It wasn’t just predictable,” they said. “It was predicted." “We don’t have a plan for a long war." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Writers Guild Staff Union, which has been on strike against the WGA for 28 days, is picketing the Guild outside of SAG-AFTRA, where the WGA is currently beginning the first day of negotiations with the AMPTP.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Civilian Oversight Commission is looking into a sticker on the water bottle of an on-duty sheriff's deputy that reads "Men's Central Jail Make Custody Violent Again." MCJ is one of the deadliest jails in the country, w/ a record of deputies beating people inside.

🚨NEW: The Supreme Court just granted certiorari before judgement in the Trump admin's requests to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haiti and Syria, "deferring" the request for an emergency stay and setting oral argument for the last week of April.

A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked federal health officials from cutting the number of vaccines recommended for every child. Judge Brian E. Murphy also said U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. likely violated federal procedures in revamping a key vaccine advisory committee.

Outside of the Academy Awards there are three different protests going on comprised of both right wing extremists and lefty anti war protesters. Some westboro Baptist church guy just said I’m going to hell. This will be a weird day.

The crap that is getting normalized on Twitter is just awful. People that are still on there don’t even see how they are starting to get pulled into the toxic soup. I see some of these screenshots and see who they are from and can’t quite believe it.

This is so on brand for Neera.
