Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN. How do you think this all ends, folks?

Interesting how all the right-wing and pro-Israel accounts here remain obsessed about Mamdani and his wife but barely a peep about the Manhattan Institute poll that revealed a majority of young Republicans are Holocaust deniers and love Nick Fuentes, who praises Hitler and is an open anti-semite.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s “the right of the people,” not of citizens. We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon tells Congress the first week of the Iran war cost the US $11.3 billion, an AP source says.

Never forget who Trump appointed to be the head of our domestic anti-terrorism people.com/trump-admin-...

Minneapolitans: "Why should we elect you, Julie Le?" Le: "When the city was being invaded by murderous, masked thugs, I became famous for representing the thugs in court so that they might prolong their campaign of terror, but also for complaining unprofessionally about how hard my work was."

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

The damage Trump has done to the rest of the world in just over a year is incalculable. Billions wasted, lives lost. Not going to be forgotten.

A lot of what people lump together with NIMBYism is actually built on the infrastructure created by environmental racism organizers plantationstopollution.selc.org/memphis-tn/

Niche but cool. I mentioned in class that there was little evidence that #18thc readers had ever responded to the invitation tendered by the blank page in Tristram Shandy & drawn the Widow Wadman. & then a student revealed the portrait of Slawkenbergius she found inscribed into her copy of our novel

america is the land of opportunity. you could become a navy seal, and then even a US senator, and before you know it you’re breaking a marine veteran’s arm with no repercussions. greatest country on earth.

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Might be time to bring back war criminal trials that include rich people this time

saying that trump is giving “conflicting signals” here really, really sanewashes how completely incoherent this is, but everyone’s looking for the barest shred of something to hold onto rather than admit the obvious

Highly readable review of what promises to be one of the most "urgent" books of the year.

“Cohen describes books as ‘the oldest and best place where opinions and impressions and whole worlds are captured and recorded.’ He’s right.” John Downes-Angus on “Banning Books in America.” https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/banning-books-america-samuel-cohen-censorship-libraries-education/

we joke but we're going to end up learning hegsgeth and/or his staff are really doing this

Pretty soon they're gonna need to release the Epstein files as a distraction from the price of gas and the dropping Dow.

If someone breaks the law and nobody enforces it because of the offender’s power, then the law does not apply to the powerful, and the law, subordinated to power, is revealed as illegitimate in its helplessness and/or corruption.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

This is what ecocide looks like.

Graduate students! Are you planning to attend the BAMS/ MSA conference in Loughborough. See below for a great opportunity.

Gulf countries get up to 90% of their drinking water from desalinization. If this becomes A Thing we are looking at death on a horrific scale, almost immediately

We. Are. Complicit. We. Must. Get. Them. Out.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Entire research agendas + years of labor, knowledge, and expanded understanding torched in an instant because a fratbro tech imbecile in his twenties used “subjective judgment” to decide if something was “crazy”

Imagine what the United States would do if a foreign military pulled up along the eastern seaboard and caused rivers of fire to flow down the streets of DC.

Ah! Ah! Another unspoken reason for the war in Iran. #news #AcademicSky #universal

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Reactionaries convinced us for decades that something like gender studies has no practical use in society, and I know many reasonable people also believe(d?) this. It was the butt of the joke for as log as I can remember. But OMG does this video drive home the point they were wrong.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

Good example of Trump’s practice of lying to get himself out of a difficult question, without ever thinking about how this often sets him up to pretzel himself even worse when the inevitable follow-up question is asked.

If you care about free and fair election this November, this is the most important story of the day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

there is no excuse for anyone in the "care" of the federal government to die from a fucking tooth infection in the year 2026. this is murder.

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline. I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate. Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

This is our shame, my fellow Americans. And our crime. We're making the lives of millions of everyday people miserable -- for no good reason.
