Tell me you live in a fascist country without telling me you live in a fascist country.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate. RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.

On her podcast, Jennifer Welsh discussed the normalization of misogyny in this country. There is no outcry because so many women suffer from internalized misogyny.

If you read nothing else today, read this, by Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt, and Lucan A. Way. The U.S. is now a Competitive Authoritarian State. All is not lost, however. Through voting, fighting in the courts, and protesting, we can turn the tide. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

I recently moved to CA and enrolled my child in publicly-provided TK because of the cost of childcare. We also conveniently have a cheaper after school program. With that said, this study speaks to all the fears I had about a well-intentioned program. hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

We are going to need Nuremberg-like trials for the evil fucks in the DeSantis regime and the Trump regime. I am so disgusted with this country, with the callous, selfish, depraved people of this country who voted for these evil regimes.

As misogynistic as I know this country is, it is still shocking, 3.5 years after the overturning of Rowe, that we have normalized women dying preventable deaths. But then, again, we normalize, thanks also to republicans, the mass murder of children in schools. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

The problem is that for too long our politicians and America’s institutions have allowed tech bros to think wealth = intelligence, and that we should turn to them for the answers to societies’ most complex problems. No, they were and are the most complex problem. www.ft.com/content/b127...

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

3 Questions: 1) What are we doing? 2) How is this pro-life? 3) What are we doing? www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

If @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social proves to be a good mayor and continues running for higher offices, he has the opportunity to become the most effective political communicator of my lifetime, surpassing Obama.

By this logic, nothing is a hate symbol. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

Harvard's prosecutorial culture was "miserable," says Jill Lepore. Even so, she stayed, but has since come to regret her silence. https://chroni.cl/4ihof9O

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago. And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

No one should be shocked by this. If I could leave this country, I would do so in a heartbeat, and I have wanted to leave form quite some time. America is a misogynistic country.

The Nazis pepper sprayed a baby. This is what the shutdown should have been about, restoring the Constitution. This is what the next shutdown needs to be about. We cannot continue to fund this authoritarian regime. newrepublic.com/post/203046/...

Three German universities offering post-docs for researchers "who cannot conduct or continue their work in the USA appropriately because of actual political pressure. " www.uni-konstanz.de/zukunftskoll...

💯

This, too, is what the shutdown should have been about, but feckless democrats can’t be bothered with human rights and the Constitution.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The “don’t-call-us-Nazis” crew is Nazi-ing again. Literally being Nazis.

Leftists really have to prioritize public libraries in budget fights.

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP. Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

There's no such thing as conservative feminism.

Feminists have long been scared of looking mean, and as a result we’ve been way too nice to antifeminist women. Sorry no, you’re not submissive, servile, and dependent because you’re a woman and that’s just your feminine nature. You’re submissive, servile,and dependent because you lack self respect.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

NEWS: A federal judge ordered govt to provide immigration detainees enough food, water and bed space, finding that conditions at the ICE holding facility in Broadview do not “pass constitutional muster.” By Madeline Buckley www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/05/b...

Yeah, where the fuck did they think this would lead? www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Fuck these Nazis.

Love my state. Fight fire with fire!

Hell, yes!

This. If billionaires don’t want democratic socialists or anything left of that, stop taking away people’s dignity and food. There will always be more of us, and eventually we will eat you.

If Andrew Cuomo is the right choice for fascist, right-wing billionaires, he’s the wrong choice for NYC. This isn’t complicated.

Every time this happens, US citizens need to sue the federal government into oblivion.

Nick Fuentes = MAGA. MAGA = Nick Fuentes. They are all Nazis. The difference is in how passionately they are willing to Nazi in public.

When a woman hugs a man and puts her hands on the back of his head, that is a bit more affectionate than hugging a male friend.
