Republicans on such a clear path to whites-only education in America

Dem leadership, getting hauled off by masked men for indefinite detention abroad, smirking: “Just another distraction from Obamacare subsidies.”

to be clear, it's not a lawsuit — they are criminal charges, and only half of them have been dismissed (so far!)

“to question authority”

Jeffries must go

Man this is trash

Folks know the civil rights movement was highly trained, right? And that actions that they knew would be dangerous were not only trained for but were prepared for in ways that acknowledge- you may die or be hurt.

this is great - note that there's still police, but they're now part of a larger, county-wide department. the extreme localism of US policing is a *huge* part of its corruption, especially when you get to stuff like sheriff's departments.

For-profit medicine is an oxymoron and shouldn’t exist.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Look, it only seems bad if you consider murdering political enemies with a bone saw as “canceling” someone

Absolutely beyond parody that Dave Chappelle is headlining a comedy show for Saudi royalty after what, a decade of whining about cancel culture

Der Spiegel cover yesterday read "God's Holy Warriors: How Fanatic Christians Took Over the U.S."

Like the Maine cops liberating the autistic girl from the ICE officers using her as bait, here we see senior Portland police officials blaming violence on … fed police. These strike me as BIG breakdowns in the Thin Blue Line, shows just how far (and unpopular) Trump policies are.

“A Portland Police Bureau assistant chief said in court recently that federal police were “instigating” some of the clashes between officers and protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland.” www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

According to the American #Cancer Society Black men have an estimated 70% to 110% higher incidence and mortality rate for #prostate cancer than white men overall in the U.S.

The Battle of Wounded Knee, also known as the Wounded Knee Massacre, took place in South Dakota in 1890.

Have to say, there’s only a few comedians taking the big Riyadh Comedy Festival checks that are disappointing. The rest are exactly who I thought they were.

"...when workers organized, refused to submit or cooperate and caused problems for the city governments, they could back the police off from the most galling of their activities." inthesetimes.com/article/poli...

“The son in law of the man exercising the powers of the presidency is a pass through for Saudi money to buy American media companies, among other things” is both true and mostly unremarked on.

I have absolutely no illusions about the pervasive use of AI in our classes, & I have absolutely no good solutions. But at some point we’re simply not in the business of education or professional ethics anymore.

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

More than 1800 detainees who were interned in Trump's shuttered Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp have now disappeared without a trace. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The rebranding of reactionary gender and biological essentialism as “heterodox and challenging ideas to which liberal students must be exposed” is one of the greatest achievements of our stupid era. Congratulations to the reactionary centrists who helped make it happen - you dupes, you utter dolts.

ICE is doing forced labor and sexual assault of transgender people in their detention centers, reads a new complaint.

To keep it a stack, a majority of Black Americans in the 60s thought MLK was too radical and needed to quiet down.

Some of yall have studied so much in politics but know nothing about activism and it shows in how you think of a protest. As it stands many of you woulda told Rosa Parks she was wasting her time.

President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 midterm election by pressuring states to create more Republican congressional seats will face a major test in a federal courtroom in El Paso, Texas starting Wednesday, as a panel of judges considers whether to block the state’s new gerrymandered map.

Any vote to fund the government is a vote to fund everything he is doing with it, every crime he is committing, every assault on the Constitution. The only relevant choice congressional Democrats face is if they want to be party to that or if Republicans have to go it alone and own the consequences.

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

This only happens to you once

Native Americans condemn Pentagon move to preserve Wounded Knee medals reut.rs/46I9oj6

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

Even Teddy Roosevelt (our least "woke" president ever) called Wounded Knee "a massacre," in which "squaws, children, unarmed Indians, and armed Indians who had surrendered were killed, sometimes cold-bloodedly and with circumstances of marked brutality." 5/

ICE arrested an Austin teacher during a check-in and the school lied to his students and their parents about what happened for 3 weeks, telling them he was sick.

Don’t worry it’s only like 13 months until we can vote for people who may or may not try to stop this.

A lot of people have American exceptionalism so deeply ingrained into their psyche that they can’t connect the dots on what very obviously is happening

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty. Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities. "What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

Justice Eddins has been assailing SCOTUS. In another decision this month, he said the Roberts Court is "pretend law." In this decision, he said federal rights protections are "suddenly fluid," he describes Dobbs as "stripping autonomy" and "force births."

The description of this "training" video... so embarrassing for Northwestern's administration to be foisting this propaganda on people. Kudos and power to these students! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One reason Trump 2.0 is so different from Trump 1.0 is SCOTUS immunity decision. Without fear of criminal prosecution, Trump’s full wrath has been unleashed.

This is intentional at this point

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Shorter JD Vance: You are not allowed to criticize ICE. Goes along with shorter Pete Hegseth: You are not allowed to criticize the military's action at Wounded Knee. And shorter Donald Trump: You are not allowed to criticize me. It's full-on authoritarianism, all the way down.

Trump's Portland 'war' zone is really one driveway in front of an ICE facility that has been the site of violent frederal overreation for months: share.google/bhVYxRssA5qj...

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

“Stay calm and enjoy a beautiful fall day” Governor of Oregon @tinakotek.bsky.social re: Trump deploying troops to Portland with ‘full force’ authorization (fascism) against Americans 👇🏽

CoreCivic, the operator, opened the California City ICE facility without proper permits or a business license and bypassing state law, the city’s mayor told me. The private prison company has denied mistreatment claims, and says it “submitted all required information” to the city for its license.

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”
