MAGA Mike Duggan wants to do this for all of Michigan!

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

Martinez is recounting her harrowing experience: after being shot by CBP agents, she drove a mile to the safety of an auto shop where she called 911, got treatment at a hospital for 7 bullet wounds, then was immediately taken into custody by federal agents.

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

This is in small-town Minnesota. This is not in one of those demonic blue cities that the GOP talk about. This is pretty goddam rural. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Father of the 6-month-old being taken to the hospital because of flashbang ICE threw at his car. From Instagram.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

I wrote this feature in 2013 for Esquire, probably my first "viral" story, about the heyday of Buzzfeed and Upworthy shareable dog shit and how it seems like fun and games now but one day we will truly regret it. Right too soon again award. Bonus that it no longer exists on Esquire. archive.is/C0yBR

That’s why conservatives are pouring millions intro trad-wife bullshit and birth control disinformation. They need young women to believe the erosion of their rights is a good thing, actually! It’s not enough to oppress women—they want us ^grateful* for it. (We’re so much prettier when we smile.)

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I want to go back to this excerpt. What students learn when we talk about ethics but don’t act on them is that we are hypocrites who actually don’t give a damn— and that they shouldn’t give a damn either but should pretend that they do.

Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

What was the point of making government employees work for 40 days without pay and SNAP recipients lose their benefits if you were just going to capitulate and vote with the Republicans anyway

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.

Known as the Battle of Blair Mountain, this was the largest labor uprising in US history and the largest armed uprising since the Civil War. For a month, 10,000 coal miners confronted some 3,000 company guards, state soldiers, and strikebreakers. Nearly a million rounds were shot.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song. But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

That “raid” in Chicago is a dark story. It’s a lot to process.

Just in case someone missed this detail: Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs A corrupt corp that will bleat at any reciprocity

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

RFK Jr. rushing to the White House with a wheelbarrow full of beef tallow to save the President

here's the thing, don't feel bad about enjoying this moment because if he is still alive, he is now watching literally the entirety of the english speaking globe celebrating and laughing at the thought of him dying, and THAT is worth it alone

Trump & Epstein, together again.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
