The only way to see the US as a historically white country is if you pretend Indigenous Americans don't exist and you ignore the fact that African Americans have been in this country longer than most of its white people. The way US history is taught from k-12 affirms the lie of white supremacy.

the authoritarian techbro cult wishes to subjugate humanity - the good news is that these are pathetic creeps and we can beat them

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Monroe Bergdorf in GQ

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

He’s already forgotten who Kirk was

If i had to guess, I'd say it's odds are good i'll be a "we're the war department now so let's have a big round of applause for war and our big strong muscles" photo op sort of thing with a lot of medals and shoulder-stars, but on the other hand who knows maybe we're annexing Austria or something.

Democrats need to jump on the Argentina bailout – and tie it to cuts in health care for Americans. It's not "America First." It's "Suck Up to Trump First."

I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

Are we winning yet? 😔

Taking even just half the money that corporations use to greenwash during climate week and make them donate to frontline and fenceline EJ/CJ orgs would be much more impactful than flying a bunch of CEOs in to talk about their latest AI garbage in pre-screened panels.

The endangerment finding is a 2009 scientific determination by EPA that greenhouse gases harm public health and welfare. It’s a cornerstone of US climate policy — so naturally, Trump wants to rescind it. I led every single one of my Democratic colleagues in saying “hell no.”

Glass-melting furnaces reach over 3,000°F. Most of that heat comes from burning fossil gas, but some manufacturers are looking to slash emissions by electrifying. 🔌💡 www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

New argument against AI regulation just dropped. Checkmate, atheists. www.wsj.com/tech/peter-t...

When an entry-level Volvo can get to 60 mph quicker than a Porsche 911, and in the same time as a Ferrari, electric car makers need a reset. Read more: wrd.cm/3W2xAb1

Setting aside that it's delusional to believe that we're on the cusp of a superintelligent AI... how/why would streamlining access to the nation's data benefit the UK? How would that materially improve people's lives?

SHE SURE DOES couple things: 1. Dolan didn’t resign because he’s in trouble. you submit the letter when you turn 75 and the pope accepts it usually when they’ve got a replacement lined up for you 2. sometimes that takes years, so it does mean something that Leo accepted it right away

French President walking to the UN but unable to get there because of Trump's motorcade seems like an apt metaphor for America's role now on the world stage

Trump just canceled this meeting

District Judge Royce Lamberth in D.C. blocked the Trump regime's order to halt construction of the Revolution Wind project, stating that the project developers are likely to win their lawsuit against the regime and are “likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction.”

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Disney reverses course on Kimmel. Lessons: -Trump's anti-Constitutional stances, anti-1A in this case, are unpopular -Popular resistance via expression and spending choices can have an impact -Many corporate leaders are weak, amoral people who'll bow to threats unless they face countervailing ones

The funding scene for environmental justice orgs has only grown worse this year - rather than meeting the moment, those philanthropies that in 2020 pledged they would fundamentally change are slamming the door on small frontline orgs.

WE CAN'T JUST USE A POWER STRIP AND A VPN OUR WAY OUT OF GLOBAL CHRISTOTECHNOFASCISM FOLKS

Was the fall of Rome this stupid? I spoke to Revolutions and History of Rome host @mikeduncan.bsky.social about the decline of empires, and the unraveling of America. Full interview at @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

With the weather in the northern hemisphere cooling again, it reminds me that it's SOUP SEASON! And of this fabulous piece by @alexkrokus.bsky.social!

The "terrorist reclassification" was an extreme over interpretation by Ken Klippenstein that circulated purely as a headline and is active disinfo, there are a whole gaggle of left/lib journalists right now who have found their niche getting massive engagement by scaring the shit out of trans people

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

"All I can tell you is I'm going to continue talking to him" -- Schumer is still refusing to endorse Mamdani

File this one away for the inevitable, populist backlash to AI data-centers driving up Americans’ utility bills. @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

Deleted the below posts out of an abundance of caution. Despite the words of the Proclamation, an unnamed White House official told New York Times that they intend to apply the $100,000 only to new applicants only. If that is correct, the implications are not as urgent.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Giving in to threats has historically only ever *increased* their use as a tactic & I just genuinely cannot stress enough how badly Dems are failing to meet the demands of the moment across every metric.

It actively just pisses me off that these fucking people who pretend to be the smartest and most educated on public policy don’t even know basic damn history of 99% of the shit they talk about and it shows. People in power are really just fucking assholes who are trying to rip us all off & I’m done.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Heritage Foundation is going after me this morning calling me a terrorist because I am accurately stating what they are intending to do. Michael Knowles at CPAC explicitly called for the "eradication of transgenderism." I'll continue to speak the truth of what is being done to my community.

The nice thing about populists is that they are on the side of the little people against the wealthy elites

If you wrote a "Trump distances himself from project 2025" story in 2024 you are either a dupe or one of our enemies. They are cackling with laughter that the media they're now destroying enthusiastically helped them dupe the voters

Our danger is real and imminent but we need to be clear eyed and honest about it in order to fight it effectively.

Senate went nuclear and it barely made the news: apnews.com/article/sena...

How Jay Jacobs is still state party chair is pretty remarkable. forget Mamdani or Walton, & his attitude toward the left. He bears a lot of responsibility for startling defeat of the "mainstream" voting rights referendums in Nov 2021, & for NY Dems' House struggles, factor in Johnson as Speaker.
