Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

U.S. spouses and children are caught up in the effects of President Trump’s mass deportations, which are pushing some families into financial ruin.

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

SLU working the baseline like RFK

The reported FBI investigation into Joe Kent—who resigned in protest against the U.S. military campaign against Iran—is over alleged leaks of classified information.

Shout out to all the guys with charts who told me there was no way we were undercounting while I watched nursing homes and hospitals refuse to test and send my friends’ elderly relatives home to die of “respiratory illness” to keep their official numbers down.

@ajbauer.bsky.social Has something to say about this

"... a month after she said she had been chained to a hospital bed following a seizure inside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, where she described filthy and inhumane conditions. She has not been charged with a crime." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/n...

Leak the Epstein Files already. End this global nightmare. Save lives. Enact actual justice for survivors and victims.

Donald J.Trump is a felon and a pedophile. Release ALL of the Epstein files. #EpsteinFiles #releaseTheEpsteinFiles

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

🧵 Some personal news: My new book, ON COURAGE – with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist @juliaangwin.com – is available for pre-order NOW (out June 30). It’s a deeply reported manual with sixteen lessons for how each of us can defy authoritarianism. Pre-order: www.harpercollins.com/products/on-...

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

The design of the Constitution divided warmaking authority between Congress and the executive to prevent a president to take the country to war by themselves for any petty or self-serving reason. You know, like a king would. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A couple things… The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war. It is a war of choice. It is warfare without conscious. It was unprovoked. And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

Raskin: We are fighting for American citizens, madam secretary, because your eyes agents shot them in the face and killed them and each person you see here represents 800,000 American citizens and you should know that as a former member of congress.

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular. So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

FYI the entire Russian force that invaded ukraine has been destroyed like 4 times over

Trump Invites Victims Of Jeffrey Epstein Investigation As SOTU Guests

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

😕

Four interviews of a girl who says Trump sexually assaulted her when she was underage are gone -- missing from DOJ's release of the Epstein files. #ReleaseTheInterviews

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

a government for, by and of degenerates

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

TLDR 1) very real accuser OF TRUMP in the Epstein files 2) FBI found her credible 3) Epstein found dead THE DAY AFTER the interview was formally entered into the record

It is absolutely a choice.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

My message remains the same a year later. We don’t have kings in America, and I won’t bend the knee to one.

Who had the most contact with Jeffrey Epstein in the final decade of his life? In the years after he pled guilty to soliciting sex from a minor, he maintained consistent contact with a vast network of rich and powerful figures. Our data team analysed 1.4m emails to map their relationships

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

The Trump regime is routinely telling US judges to go screw themselves -- ignoring and violating court orders, and flagrantly spitting on people's constitutional rights. So far, not even one regime apparatchik has been held accountable in any serious way.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
