The antiabortion movement has produced an incredible amount of violence, and many members believe people who have and perform abortions should face the death penalty—a segment that appears to be growing. This seems to be another example of the violence against clinics that has increased post-Dobbs.

This is the facility where masked thugs put our neighbors, friends, and community members after they snatch them off the street. Please note that they are doing this to long-term residents, too. This is not targeted at criminals. They are grabbing tamale vendors, landscapers, preschool teachers.

These people want to pretend they have sophisticated arguments, but this just boils down to “women shouldn’t be in the workplace.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/o...

The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself

EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.

30 people disappeared in this shaded area today.

Victories are hard to come by these days but WE WON.

There are so many obvious constitutional violations in this story. It is enraging. There is no war, there is no foreign invasion, there is nothing that justify it. This is a choice to create a military presence that will brutalize residents of cities that do not support the President.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

Impossible to delink this from the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - the total militarization of law enforcement. Story opens with a Black Hawk helicopter deployed against Americans and only gets worse from there abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

That quote is not out of context, the full version is worse.

There has been a lot of coverage of Return to the Land, but @jtischauser.bsky.social and I dug a bit deeper into the history of white supremacist compounds and how RTTL’s ultimate aim is to ultimately undo the Fair Housing Act and legalize segregation www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

NEW, from @cassiemiller.bsky.social and me. We looked into the history of white supremacist compound building in the U.S. to put Return to the Land's efforts in Arkansas into perspective. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

They ripped him apart from his US citizen pregnant wife. They detained him 1,200 miles from home. They denied him the birth of his son. They made him miss graduation. They defamed him. And now, a LA immigration judge has ordered his deportation. All because spoke, organized, assembled. For shame.

Texas DA once paid for an abortion — then charged a woman who had one with murder, court filing claims www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man? Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

if you all need a taste of how long it takes to undo fascism, the weimar republic legalized abortions, the fascists made them illegal, and we still have remnants of the fascist anti-abortion laws right now in germany, abortions are illegal but decriminalized. we still are not back at weimar.

Paul Ingrassia has a Senate confirmation hearing tomorrow. Here are some things he has said and done: -Attended a Nick Fuentes rally -Argued that “reverse racism against European and Christian culture is far, far more insidious than any other kind of ‘racism.” www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

NEW TONIGHT: The IRS says that churches can now endorse candidates from the pulpit, carving out an exemption to the decades-old ban on politicking by nonprofits. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u...

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

NEW, from me: I found long time far-right activist and defense lawyer, Jason Lee Van Dyke. leading training efforts inside Patriot Front. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

I wrote about how Trump’s recent actions in LA are the fulfillment one of his movement’s dreams: bringing liberal cities and states under violent, authoritarian control as payback for J6 prosecutions, 2020 protests, their support for immigrants and more www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

> Lindsey Boylan, the first woman to accuse Cuomo of sexual harassment: “I can’t even describe how good it feels to know that someone who was trying to obliterate me and all the other women that he harmed did not succeed… His path to victory was to destroy all of us… and it didn’t work.” More below:

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

A reporter from The City had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?” www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/b...

Military/paramilitary forces grabbing people without process, regardless of their citizenship status because of their perceived ethnicity is perhaps better referred to as "ethnic cleansing."

Seems like a good time to share this Alex Chilton cover of Wouldn’t It Be Nice, which is just nakedly fun and joyful. RIP Brian Wilson. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YJNL...

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

Whenever someone says they’re afraid of downtown in American cities, I’m always like, brother, that’s where the Fogos de Chão are.

I’ve been trying to keep a comprehensive list of Trump administration personnel who embrace racism, bigotry, and conspiracy theories (surprise, there are many!). Here is the second installment of that series: www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

CHICAGO POPE CHICAGO POPE

The question on everyone’s mind: how big is the new pope?

They should let him keep doing this stuff after he’s no longer mayor.

New: My colleague and I looked into Jake Shields, a former-MMA fighter who now hosts a podcast that pushes Holocaust denial, white nationalism and male supremacist bigotry on Spotify, Youtube and Apple Podcasts [CW: anti-trans violence, antisemitism] 🧵 www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Keep in mind: the NEH’s budget is 0.01% of the entire federal budget. This is not about savings - it is about the destruction of the Humanities and the critical thinking abilities that they teach. 🗃️

The OAH conference has plenty of bleak already, and it’s just starting now.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

I wrote a book about bureaucratic violence and if there’s one thing I wish everyone knew right now, it would be: The people most harmed can’t tell what’s happening or why. Their lives unravel and, more often than not, they are taught to blame themselves—or other victims.
