I genuinely don't know how to deal with how quickly the whole elite class has agreed on this revisionist history of things I can clearly remember from just a few years ago. we were all there! it was extremely memorable!

J. Kagan dissent: "Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars.Still more, it should not be used,as it also has been,to transfer government authority from Congress to the President, and thus to reshape the Nation’s separation of powers."

Your reminder that Trump is unpopular and his regime isn't some unsinkable battleship but a clown car with tank treads.

What Charlie Kirk and Jesus have in common is that American Christofascists absolutely hate it when you quote them directly.

lol in case folks haven't noticed, every political and economic attack in this country is perfected on minorities FIRST and then scaled. 🤷🏿‍♀️

If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear… 📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.

A white man killed another white man, but Black people are catching death threats. So, instead of talking about white feelings again, I explored my own death threats, and tips for others who are unused to white America. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

this is absolutely wild the court *sua sponte* dismisses the case for violating Rule 8(a) so that means the court, all on its own, looked at the complaint and said it's too long, too scattershot, too arbitrary to even count as a complaint. *never* seen this happen to a private party with counsel.

Biggest story in the world, told in the mainstream press perfectly well: AP/PBS headline: TRUMP'S MOVES AGAINST MEDIA OUTLETS MIRROR AUTHORITARIAN APPROACHES TO SILENCING DISSENT www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

THIS is the kind of order judges should be issuing against performative complaints.

The values that drive conservative thinking. Nailed it in one. www.instagram.com/reel/DOliLKK...

A group of local tow truck drivers are offering to tow people's work vans to work sites without charge if they're afraid of being taken by ICE while driving, which is a neat spontaneous community response to all of this

The case was about a NY State official threatening entities she regulated unless they helped her punish the NRA, a clear analogue to what the FCC chief Carr did to ABC/Disney. But the NRA sued. ABC won’t. And as far as I know, Kimmel can’t.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

"'The number of $500 million is completely arbitrary and it will solve nothing,' [Claudine] Gay said. 'There is no justification.'" SAY IT AGAIN DEAN GAY. #Harvard www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Was expecting to see reactions of other late talk show hosts last night to recent news. DID NOT have @thedailyshow.com moving mountains to snap up the legend Maria Ressa for an absolutely AMAZING interview on my bingo card. 100% worth the watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsb1...

From Lea Tau: "...we both saw the other person’s story as a threat to our own." These actions to erase history/facts aren't differences of opinion. They reveal fear--threat to a myth that one side clings to, desperate to see themselves as heroes vs. threat to the truth/history/lives of the other.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Can someone please direct them to the white boy maga family in Utah so these white men can go fight back? Thanks.

Scott Jennings, in an emotional moment with Tapper, mentioned a bunch of political violence directed at GOPers and Tapper had to remind him that Dem MN lawmakers were assassinated just three months ago. Jennings said a line was crossed today and Tapper had to remind him it was *already* crossed.

My candid thoughts on the death of Charlie Kirk. As a Muslim, I’ve received an onslaught of hate from Kirk supporters who believed his disinformation about Islam and Muslims. Yet, I do not rejoice in his death. At all. So why have empathy for those who show none? www.qasimrashid.com/p/reflection...

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

A good reminder that despite this administration's actions, vaccinations, and especially childhood vaccinations, remain overwhelmingly popular in the United States. Opposing vaccination is an extreme, unhinged, minority opinion.

The Supreme Court just ruled this meme is constitutional.

will there ever be a point at which enough evidence has accumulated to convince people that Meta really is incredibly evil

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

So, Chicago, it's your turn now and man, I am so so sorry. Nobody should have to go through this. This is awful. This is fascism. Organize. Step up. Don't think other people will do it -- the might, maybe even they will, but they need you, too. Be like LA -- be sand in their gears. 9/

We didn't stop them, but we slowed them down. They got hundreds of us, but we kept them from getting hundreds more, and it wasn't violence or graffiti or insults that did the job, it was regular people getting involved. It was my neighbor the speech therapist, it was my friend the life-coach. 8/

LA kept a small, peaceful, totally fucking irritating presence at the Federal buildings and LA showed up at the hotels where ICE was staying and made sure they didn't get any sleep. LA Unions got involved. LA limousine liberals got out of their fucking limousines and stood watch on corners. 7/

LA got on Signal and ICE-watch. LA's biggest non-profit advocacy groups like the LA Tenants Union widened their missions to incorporate saving the whole fucking city. LA showed up. LA filmed. LA *knew its rights* and handed out red-cards at every opportunity. 6/

Why? Well, for starters, 300 ICE agents have been moved to Chicago, leaving only about 300 in LA County which is about what we had before Trump took office. Why are they leaving? Because LA made their jobs TOO FUCKING HARD. LA Organized. LA sat on corners outside Home Depots with radios. 5/

I was starting to believe the H5N1 outbreak from dairy cattle was winding down. I was wrong. I hadn’t detected H5N1 in CA wastewater in 6 months, and then 4 samples in a row came up positive. The sequences were all B3.13 (the dairy cattle lineage). 1/

I’ve now seen both Pritzker and Duckworth describe Trump’s declaration of war on Chicago as “not normal.” I’m sure some focus groups pointed to the value of this phrase, but declaring *war* on *Chicago* is way, way past that phrase being applicable. It vastly underplays the seriousness of this.

Still trying to understand the Hyundai ICE raid. Supposedly a months-long investigation that... picked up people here on visas, permanent residents, and U.S. citizens? I also haven't seen anyone charged under 8 USC §1324a for hiring undocumented employees. 🤔 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

If you aren’t following The TRiiBE yet, now’s a great time to start:

a legislator just said it’s a white only Nation at a keynote There’s been no real response And I don’t care what you think white professors using their safety to declare we are stupid after all their Black female colleagues were fired for less Isn’t “truth to power”

“Who keeps us safe? WE KEEP US SAFE!” Chicago showed up in the streets tonight.❤️

If I see the salt truck video one more time I'm going to lose my fucking mind. They're not being used to block the city off from ICE. They're walling off the Taste of Chicago. The city uses salt trucks as temporary infrastructure.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

I know the rest of the world doesn’t need to hear my opinion, but… if you want to avoid becoming a violent, shitty country like the United States: 1. Jail your rich people when they commit crimes. 2. When your rich people commit crimes, jail them. 3. Jail is the best place for rich criminals. 4
