“If the gov't can punish professors and universities for viewpoints it dislikes, then no field of research, no classroom discussion, & no scholar’s speech is safe. That is precisely what the First Amendment forbids.” Cato joins ACLU, other groups in amicus supporting AAUP's Columbia suit. @cato.org

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Happy to hear Count Chocula is out, but you know who else has posted “sexually degrading attacks on Kamala Harris, derogatory remarks about gay people, conspiracy theories, and crude insults aimed at critics of Donald Trump”? Donald Trump.

Three years ago Shikha Dalmia (you should read @theunpopulist.net!) wrote that while many kinds of nationalism target an "enemy without", such as a colonial power or hostile neighbor, populist movements tend to identify an "enemy within," a hated elite, cosmopolitan or financial establishment. /3

He’s blocking her because she would be the final vote necessary to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. He’s doing this to protect pedophiles. Release his Grindr profile!

We lived in GB for 14 years. It was a great town to raise kids. What a horrible world we have accepted. www.npr.org/2025/09/28/n...

A society that refuses to care for it's citizens does not deserve to exist. We have become the monsters we were earned about as children.💔

Just got this text from my sister. She lives in Grand Blanc, Michigan.

It's the fuckin guns........ BREAKING: Multiple victims injured, church on fire after shooting in Grand Blanc, Michigan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I0n...

Sure, right. They're NOT revoking Petro's diplomatic visa because of THIS: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

Maryland elected officials have yet to comment on Wednesday’s dangerous and violent attack.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

New on MSNBC: According to the court transcript, only 14 of the 23 grand jurors voted in favor of indicting James Comey on the two counts that went forward.

The way the media spins stories like this is “look how the dogged cops cleared this terrible quadruple-murder 34 years later” and not “oh by the way they totally accused and convicted the wrong guys before, oops lol” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The carcerealists believe "Better 100 innocent men go to prison than one lazy cop mumble an apology 20 years later."

Trump DOJ: -overruling career prosecutors to indict Trump's political opponents -suing states to get sensitive voter data -urging SCOTUS to gut Voting Rights Act -helping GOP states gerrymander mid-decade A 5 alarm fire on every front www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Labeling domestic political opponents as "terrorists" and characterizing a US city as being at war as pretexts for deploying troops against US citizens.

My theory is, they thought they could ride the Kirk stuff all the way home, they started all this final game fascist stuff rolling, and. They're too excited to stop it, even realizing the political capital went poof with Kimmel. Their blood got pumping and by God they're gonna try it

Trump and Vance really need to get better lies.

Netanyahu: I need $6 billion more Trump: Approved Argentina: We need $20 billion Trump: Approved Musk: SpaceX needs $5.9 billion Trump: Approved Bezos: Amazon needs $16 billion Trump: Approved Average Joe: My wife got cancer. I lost my job. Can we get Medicaid? Trump: Denied

A traditional Native American ceremony is held at the Broadview. ICE Facility In Chicago, featuring a spiritual round dance of healing.

On 12/14/12, Victoria Soto, during the Sandy Hook School shooting, she showed the world true courage. She hid her 1st graders in cabinets & closets. When the shooter came, she told him the kids were in the gym. He shot her on the spot and moved on. She gave her life protecting her entire class. 💙😢💙

Jeffries: "Trump announced he's imposing tariffs on prescription drugs which is gonna increase drug prices, in addition to healthcare price increases, the increases in grocery costs, the increases in housing costs, the increases in electricity bills. Trump promised to lower cost of living on day 1"

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular: The joy. One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

I think the only surprise here is how quickly this is happening this openly. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

I predict a troll two-step: this dipshit writes the column and then all the conservative outlets will run the next one bewailing how unfairly the column was treated and how the readings of it were in bad faith.

More than anything, they want to be patted on the head and told they're a good boy by the liberal elites

Expect any non-citizen (for now) in any position of power to be harassed and abused on pretext by the secret police.

Des Moines is the semi-liberal bastion in Des Moines, and the Des Moines Public Schools are one of the particular bugbears for the Iowa GOP. This is absolutely a specific political attack on the DMPS, on the African community in Des Moines, and on the most diverse city in the state.

Horrific: Doctors Without Borders is suspending medical work in Gaza City due to Israel's violence, including airstrikes & tanks less than 1KM from their facilities. Comes same day Netanyahu used his UN speech to scold dozens of nations for accusing him of committing war crimes.

#BREAKING: Over the dissents of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, #SCOTUS grants (yet another) stay to President Trump—this one allowing him to cease obligating $4 billion in foreign aid funding appropriated by Congress. I’ll post the link when it’s up.

Trump says "hate-filled rhetoric" fuels violence and must end. Maybe he should talk to the guy who calls his political opponents "sick, sinister, and evil people" who are "trying to destroy our country" because they are "communists," "Marxists," "lunatics," "vermin," and "the enemy from within."

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact. www.courts.state.hi.us/wp-content/u...

After the story posted, a DHS official emailed us: “An alien — even with a pending application or lawful status — is not shielded from immigration enforcement action … but generally speaking…USCIS cannot discuss the details of individual immigration cases and adjudication decisions.”
