The attack-the-academy movement was never, ever about freedom and diversity of thought in the academy. It was always going to play out this way. It’s never been “nobody should dictate thought,” it’s always been “WE should dictate thought.” www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

CNN statement on the arrest of Don Lemon.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is the message.

finally, we're living through precedented times

This was at Excellent Cuisine on Division, which seems to be the go to Christmas place for Portland’s Chinese-Americans, Jews, and atheist hipsters.

Hm, what could happen? 🤔

Let me explain something to white Christian MAGA bigots. For the same reason a Muslim gentleman disarmed a terrorist in Bondi Beach, Australia, a massive amount of Jewish people support Palestinians. 1/2

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen: The Rolling Stones Pete Seeger Cyndi Lauper Ladysmith Black Mambazo Los Lobos

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?! & more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Who we are and what we do

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

Why wouldn't this exact same logic have applied to Hitler? I mean, some of his supporters had puppies and were kind to their grandmas. If you can't call anything fascist unless/until *literally everyone supporting it is a comic book villain*, then you just can't ever identify fascism.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Can you see me? 🤣

Authorities say patrons at a restaurant acted quickly and selflessly to stop a gunman who opened fire while a wedding was taking place at a New Hampshire country club, averting a worse tragedy.

Yet another attack on knowledge

I find it deeply disconcerting the way they keep “teasing” the big info they have on autism. If there was a real scientific breakthrough, they wouldn’t wait. This isn’t about science, it’s about discriminating against neurodivergent people. It’s eugenics.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Adams will be fired now of course 😒

My god…

Washington, D.C.

If I could ban Democrats from using one word right now it would be “distraction.” None of it is a distraction. It is all the bad stuff

Oh my fucking god has anyone in the national media ever read a single book about authoritarianism

Donations slowed for a while and lodging turned out to be a real pill this year. We've been roughing it, car camping whenever possible or hanging with friends from time to time. If you have a chance this morning check out our link and please consider a small donation today. gofund.me/babd9034

a study in 2020 (www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/11/...) found huge companies like Walmart and McDonald’s paid such low wages that their employees were among the top enrollees of medicaid and food stamps. tell companies to stop freeloading off the system and take care of their employees. problem solved!

JULY 17: Five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, we’re coming together and showing up in the streets, outside courthouses, and in community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all. Please join us: goodtroubleliveson.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This isn't immigration control, it's genocide.

I'm not celebrating Independence Day this year. We are no longer free.

Same with “Big Beautiful Bill.” Suddenly the media were using it uncritically or just with quotation marks, not “Trump’s domestic policy bill, which he refers to as a “big, beautiful bill.” Brevity, my ass. They’re complicit.

Frighteningly real

really does feel like if we can cyberbully the House into passing changes on the shit they openly hate and get it kicked back upstairs again there’s a chance it might not survive the Senate a second time if you live in a GOP state it’s time to ruin a House rep’s life

Seems like a lot of people probably don’t even realize this happened. nypost.com/2024/11/25/u...

Beautiful!

And that was just Boise!

Organizers in LA are raising money to do tamale buyouts from local tamale vendors who are unable to safely vend on the street due to ICE kidnapping vendors. The tamales will be distributed to unhoused neighbors. Please consider donating — I personally vouch for this one: venmo.com?txn=pay&audi...

This alone should be cause for a massive, non-violent, constitutionally protected uprising. But massive.

Of COURSE it’s a racist misdescription (?) of Native culture. Of course it is.

Come for the athletic performance. Stay for the political statement!

The NWS office in Jackson, Kentucky, has been without staffing overnight because of DOGE cuts. Last night, a tornado tore through southern Kentucky and killed more than a dozen. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...
