💯Also, speaking out doesn't necessarily mean to put actual statements out. It can mean social practices of defiance: a university continuing its DEI programs, schools celebrating immigrants and LGBTQ, museums featuring anti-racist exhibits, comedians creating anti-fascist humor...

Picture from Turkey: Erdoğan visits the prestigious Boğaziçi University to open a dorm. Students had to evacuate their dormitories, many faculty members were not let into the campus. The tinpot dictator is scared to face his people and any form of popular resistance.

Remember: Everyone who says that athletes or artists should stay out of politics does not just fail to understand that in moments like these politics infuses every aspect of every life in our country--they are actually part of the problem. Silence is a position. Silence serves autocrats and thugs.

Most Americans don't like fascism.

I really don't care about anyone's "he can't do this because states run elections!" argument. This is an explicit pledge to rule lawlessly by the commander-in-chief of the world's most powerful military, who is also currently constructing a nationwide system of detention camps.

Halk adamına bak bee! Kampüse gelecek diye dersler iptal edilmiş, öğrenciler yurttan çıkarılmış, öğretim üyeleri dahi kampüse alınmamış. Boş kaleye gol atıp şişinip dursun.

Not even subtle about it, is she?

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/

In October I testified in a federal case on new restrictions on NC’s same day voter registration policy using my research w/ Charlotte Hill on SDR and young voters. Smaller impact than much else in 2025-6 but voter suppression is still a thing. www.wxii12.com/article/exte...

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Most Americans don't like fascism.

How can Noem say she wants to ensure that citizens trust the elections when Trump's entire career is about sowing citizen distrust in democratic elections? This is so hypocritical and infuriating!

This is very dangerous!

BREAKING: How the Trump administration will determine the “right” voters

For me this is very simple. There is widespread, longstanding practice of using "Zionists" as coded slur for Jews, or "Jews I don't like" (regardless how they define themselves). That is sufficient reason to refrain from broad-brush language such as "Zionism=Racism" or "Zionists not welcome".

honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.

There are many reasons why some Jewish orgs abandoning coalitional allies is short-sighted. I'll add one more: when bigotry against other groups seeps into the mainstream, it inevitably bolsters antisemitism too. If you care about antisemitism, you can't afford NOT to care about other bigotries.

How Trump's withdrawal from Minneapolis is being covered abroad. In Le Monde, the lead French daily, the homepage article starts with: "Two people dead, thousands arrested, two cities shaken, and Donald Trump defeated." www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

2025 Arab Opinion Index: 87% oppose normalization with Israel, 80% believe Palestine is a collective Arab issue, 87% say Israel’s war on Gaza and Lebanon impacts them personally, 76% rate US policy as bad (seems low). Lots more in this new report: arabcenterdc.org/wp-content/u...

Erasure of white culture ➡️ great replacement theory ➡️foreigners out ➡️ Nazis were right!

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

AG Keith Ellison: "The surge is contributing to violent crime. Two of the three homicides committed in Minneapolis in 2026 have come at the hands of federal immigration agents."

I think maybe the remarkable part is that the US Attorney tried to indict six Democratic elected officials (and veterans) who made a video saying that everyone should follow the law.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms. I recently explained three things states can do and four things Congress should insist on in order to protect the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

How much a chart can tell you about democratic careening.

Can somebody get Bad Bunny to read a few of Epstein’s emails in Spanish? Maybe then Trump’s goons, Fox News, and MAGA influencers will finally be concerned about them.

Tomorrow at 1:30 PM, hundreds of Jewish clergy and community members will gather in front of ICE HQ in D.C. to protest the dehumanization of our neighbors, and to demand ICE leave our cities. (1/2)

It's also haram.

Reminds of the guy who shouted at me and my friend: "Let's speak English ok?" when we were chatting in Turkish at a bus stop in Columbus, Ohio.

Average global corruption score had hit its worst level in more than a decade, with the United States sliding to its lowest-ever score on the Transparency International's 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, coming in 29th.
