“People of all ages showed up on Sunday, some of which had a small picket line going, others blowing bubbles and using their voices to condemn [law enforcement’s] behavior. But it doesn’t matter what people are doing or not doing; their violent response is always the same.”

Siding with Trump, Facebook suspends Chicago community group issuing ICE alerts “This is the same company that had policies allowing for chatbots to have ‘sensual’ conversations with kids, but discussing local law enforcement among neighbors is a bridge too far, huh?”

If the court dismantles Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and allows overtly racist gerrymanders, one report estimates that Republicans will be virtually guaranteed an additional 19 seats in the 2026 midterms.

'No Kings' protests set to sweep US even as Trump increases attacks on activists Republicans are already smearing the protesters, but their intimidation tactics are out of touch with reality.

Complete and total destruction of Jabalia camp in Gaza

I remember when people were debating if Israel would actually strike a single hospital while they were leveling an entire civilization

Now that a Gaza ceasefire has been reached, will Trump force Israel to end the genocide? Donald Trump’s “20-Point Plan” could provide a path to end the Gaza genocide, but it is limited by a lack of details and the uncertainty of whether the U.S. is willing to enforce it on Israel.

Palestinians, aid groups express cautious ‘jubilation’ as ceasefire deal reached “People were screaming in the streets, because after two years of bombings and destruction and loss, finally they will sign the ceasefire,” said one aid worker. “I hope they can maintain this deal.”

I wrote about the Bari Weiss take over of CBS News as part of a broader trend away from the pretense of liberal institutionalism into a genuinely post-reality tabloidism, marked by AI slop, unsophisticated Trumpian-Likudite propaganda and consolidation of traditional and social media.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Bari Weiss and the post-liberal media order The tabloid-ification of CBS News is a marked escalation in our trend towards AI-driven confectionary reality.
