Confidential database reveals which items NPS thinks may ‘disparage’ America An internal government database reviewed by The Washington Post demonstrates the vast scope of the Trump administration’s ongoing effort to revise or remove information on African American history, cl...

The Trump admin doesn’t want to sully the reputation of racist murderers.

“at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia, staff members have asked federal officials to decide whether a document that describes an abolitionist’s murder by a mob might “denigrate the murderers.”

The federal government dictating official history is a free speech issue. But I guess erasing Black history doesn’t excite pundits as much as harassing college kids who call bigoted speakers bigots.

More than 70,000 North Carolinians have incomplete voter registrations. Check the database below to see if you’re on the list. If you are, you can still vote, but you should bring your driver’s license with you, and you may be required to cast a provisional ballot.

Delivery robots have his old job — and now they’ve created a new one for him AI-powered delivery robots from companies like Serve Robotics are replacing human drivers across the nation — but they can’t do it without help.

“He is one of the first of a new class of workers — a robot wrangler — paid to care for and train AI-powered bots as they learn to work in the real world.”

The war on Iran & the war on immigrants aren’t different stories— wars justify investments in technologies of violence, create a foreign threat that manufactures consent for the abrogation of domestic rights.

See: “War on Terror” that killed millions & in whose shadow DHS was formed.

my god, what utter class

The White House said in June, and I quote, "Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News"

That post is still up:

We are in a car with a drunk driver going the wrong way on a highway with a backseat full of kids and Dems are like “you forgot to bring your license”

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

‘Wrong in 1942.

“History doesn’t repeat. It rhymes,” he said. “And there is a shared syntax of supremacy and racial domination that affected our community then and that is being wielded against a community now.” - Rev. Kenji Kuramitsu

“…just 2% of all college students—including 3% of Republicans—say they feel they don’t belong on campus due to their political views…71% said their professors create a classroom environment that supports both students who express unpopular opinions and those who may be upset by such views.”

This allows the Trump administration to literally condition citizenship on what it defines as acceptable speech

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Christopher Federico on his new book, "The Authoritarian Divide" Christopher Federico and his co authors' findings have important consequences for how to understand partisan conflict in the U.S. and the health of American democracy.

In "The Authoritarian Divide," Christopher Federico @chrispps.bsky.social, Stanley Feldman and Christopher Weber identify factors that have shaped and conditioned the sorting of Americans into different belief patterns and partisan camps as a function of authoritarianism.

White supremacy is just a job you do, like architect or serial killer

I can't believe that just in my lifetime we went from the conscious Black Pride hip hop of the 90's to the "Harriet Tubman wasn't real" Tik Toks of today.

Calling it now: the US political media's treatment of AOC is going to make their treatment of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore look like a model of balance and discretion.

This thread seems to confirm my very strong prior that a big part of what's wrong with DHS is that it blurs foreign and domestic authority, and by doing so inherently promotes bringing military and intelligence behavior into the civilian world

“White Americans are increasingly second-class citizens in a country their ancestors founded and in which, until recently, they were the overwhelming majority of the population,” he writes in his 2024 book, “The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart.”

Klan Leader Says Whites Face Bias By Doug Perry, Courier-Journal Staff Writer White people are becoming second-class citizens, the national leader of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan said here Saturday. David Duke, in Harlan County to attend a Klan rally and "cross lighting," said during an interview he thinks integration in this country is a "total failure."

Jeremy Carl, whom Trump has nominated for a senior position in the State Department, made precisely the same claim --white people are becoming "second-class citizens"--in his 2024 book as David Duke did in 1975, when he was the leader of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

when MAGA white supremacists like Carl whinge abt passing of 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act they are complaining that it overturned 1924 Johnson-Reed Act, a law limiting immigration to people from Northern Europe, which was drafted by eugenicist Rep. Albert Johnson, with BIG support from the Klan

Thank you Senator @wyden.senate.gov!

Congratulations!! 🎉

I’m on the Senate floor right now with @booker.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov to talk about the crisis of our disappearing democracy. Never before has a President tried to indict Members of Congress for their political opposition to the President.

it is the responsibility of every man who interacts with him (and his ilk) to tell and show him that this isn't at all how men behave but it sure is how creeps, abusers, rapists behave. he unmistakably needs to be made to feel like a creep no one wants to have anything to do with.
