Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

Damn, that's a fantastic video for a campaign launch.

I’ve seen a lot of assumptions in the media that Trump (and Musk) are targeting institutions with loyalty tests. But that’s not quite right. They’re using dominance tests. And the difference between these two things matter. 🧵

This is a test. If they get away with this, they’ll come after American citizens. Native born citizens. Any citizen. Potentially you.

Email sent to FDA staff informs that agency leadership canceled the agency's LexisNexis subscription, even though staff need this tool to research legal and regulatory information as part of their jobs. I'm reproducing the text of the email here:

Mike Flynn, who pushed for Trump to declare martial law and seize dictatorial power after losing reelection in 2020, is now on the board of West Point.

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

a popular victory imbues you with the sovereign authority of the people and gives you unbounded power to do whatever you want IS a system of government it's just not the one we have in THIS country.

The Department of Justice was created in 1870 with an explicit mission to protect civil rights and enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. The DOJ went after the Klan hard, securing thousands of indictments and 600+ convictions within the first year alone. How about restoring *that* focus?

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Growing judicial voices challenge Trump’s erosion of constitutional norms www.cnn.com/2025/03/10/p...

I deplore the necessity but applaud those doing this work. Please consider giving them a follow and supporting however you can

Trump has issued an order purporting to bar lawyers he does not like from federal courthouses. I assume he'll lose the ensuing litigation. But take the order as a confession of malign intent-and understand that he will seek similarly illegal ways to deny voting rights in 2026.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

We're at the "French University is offering grants to refugee scientists censored by the regime" stage of our country www.404media.co/french-unive...

BREAKING: MSPB member Cathy Harris (who trump tried to fire) GRANTED the stay requested by Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger (who Trump tried to fire) REINSTATING 5000 USDA employees (who Trump tried to fire.) osc.gov/News/Pages/P...

The Frederick C Murphy Building probably means nothing to most people, but that is the NATIONAL ARCHIVES. Mother fuckers. @universalhub.com

The average American voter thinks that the government is too big but that it should spend more money on everything it does. This explains a decent share of the political chaos of this country.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual. cdm16274.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/coll...

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

perhaps Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Barack Obama, & Joe Biden could be troubled to interrupt their retirements, explain clearly to the American people what is happening, and call on them to try to save the Republic -- preferably before he starts WWIII, a Great Depression, & shooting protesters

Why the Trump regime might implode, hopefully before it does much more damage to democracy. My latest. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/t...

Dems should offer to support a CR but only on terms that (unfortunately) Trump would never agree to: 1) Immediately restore the illegally impounded funds 2) remove Musk and other special government employees from their temporary offices 3) limit to 4 weeks so compliance can be enforced at next CR

If you’re going to participate in the economic blackout, may I suggest that you donate any money you might have spent to a community organization? They’re going to be overwhelmed and need your help.

If you're going to participate in the #EconomicBlackout tomorrow, I recommend also donating whatever money you might have spent shopping* to organizing and mutual aid efforts. *At least on non-essential things, and I also understand not everyone can do this. But if you can....

A better retirement. More investment in education. Affordable housing. These four pillars, healthcare, retirement, education, and housing, the Democrats should craft a broad message around right now. Show an alternative to this doomsday scenario.

the thing that tonight’s budget vote shows is that congressional Republicans are actually quite capable of inflicting massive pain on the average American through constitutionally appropriate processes and do not need to outsource it to the haphazard machinations of a ketamine-addled Boer

If I had @mcuban.bsky.social money, I'd start a wire service made up of all the great indy reporters and folks from Wired and RS etc that are doing invaluable work even without access so they could pool their resources for big national stories. And it would be good PR for me/ @mcuban.bsky.social

Shockingly, study finds that belief in "voter fraud" and support for the Jan. 6 insurrection are closely associated with racism. doi.org/10.1017/rep....

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽
