Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

The Establishment Freakout Over AOC and Progressive Politics

From the late Jesse Jackson to Zohran Mamdani to AOC, the establishment has long feared and loathed progressive candidates of color who demand America confront its sins of racism and classism.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Trump’s New Voter I.D. Threat Is His Gravest Attack on Democracy Yet The president says he’ll do it “whether approved by Congress or not!” He can’t legally do that—but that hasn’t stopped him before.

If one election was ever going to be postponed, it obviously would have been in 1864. But Abraham Lincoln refused even to consider delaying it. And he was convinced he was going to lose!

That’s how a small-d democrat behaves. Can you imagine Donald Trump doing that? trib.al/5XSpzut

The Frightening, Very Real Tool ICE Agents Have to Add You to a “Nice Little Database” if You Attend a Protest Take these threats literally.

The Department of Homeland Security has a plan to quietly surveil anyone it wants. It’s already underway. slate.trib.al/igHggO2

Trump is a Dirty Old Whore, Wearing Too Much Makeup, Willing To Do Anything for a Dollar. The Clean Air Act Funeral. Imagine cheering for more pollution, while claiming you’re “pro-life.”

If smoke fills a room and you remove the smoke detector, congratulations — you’ve solved the beeping problem.

This Is How a Child Dies of Measles When your family becomes a data point in an outbreak

You thought your unvaccinated daughter had a cold. It could be a week before she's diagnosed with measles. By then, the virus “has multiplied and descended upon her lungs, kidneys, tonsils, and spleen, down to the marrow of her bones.” Elizabeth Bruenig writes about how a child dies of measles:

“Marco Rubio is a cynical man in a cynical age, serving an evil cause that he once professed to despise for power and privilege.”

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

Musk advocates white monoculturalism

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

I have an idea for saving humanity that we haven’t tried yet: put women in charge.

"Donald Trump is not the disease of our politics, he’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows big corporations to buy and sell politicians in ways that leave them rigging the system against us."

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

I’d like to point out the deep irony that the feds are constantly using possible “doxxing” as the justification they must be anonymous, plateless, and masked, when they are constantly doxxing us. Peak DARVO.

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

The El Paso story is a perfect little slice of Trumpism. You take the combined incompetence of our Dep'ts of Transportation, Defense & Homeland Security and create a major public safety risk, shut down a major airport, alarm our neighbors that we are about attack them & shoot down a party balloon.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Yeah it is genuinely fucking scaring me the degree to which all our cultural output about nuclear war lately seems to present it as a Struggle That Humanity Will Emerge From Stronger. We honestly cannot allow that message to propagate in our fictions, because it *will* doom us. Nuclear War is not…

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already.

Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.
