This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Sickening.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

How Tom Homan wound up ensnared in an FBI contracts-for-cash sting A former associate of Trump’s border czar allegedly proposed a $1 million scheme last year that put FBI agents on Homan's trail.

The reason we're rounding up grandmothers and shoving them onto concrete floors for months at a time with no habeas corpus is in part because soft human trafficking is an incredibly lucrative business for some people in this administration.

Why Hospital Policies Matter in States That Ban Abortion Our first-of-its-kind data analysis found that a seismic split emerged in how medical institutions in Texas' two largest metro areas, Houston and Dallas, treated miscarrying patients — and in their ou...

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

Native Americans condemn Pentagon move to preserve Wounded Knee medals The National Congress of American Indians strongly condemned on Saturday U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to allow soldiers to keep medals awarded for their roles at the 1890 Battle of Wounded Knee, an event which many historians consider a massacre.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2

When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline.

109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

Amazing series. I had never heard of Fania Mindel and now here she is — a missed turn of the birth control movement. And here, what she stands for, the imperative of translation in a
Pluralistic democracy., and an alternative universalist path still available to be taken against the eugenicists.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

One week of intense conversations in Kyiv convinced me that Ukraine has no need for Trump any longer.
Ukraine can produce all the arms it needs, but it needs financing, which Europe can and must deliver.
Trump has swiftly ended the time of US superpower.

The New York Times is reporting that Trump shook down the UEA for billions, to go personally to Trump, in exchange for advanced computer chips that compromised our nation's security.

Trump will sell out the United States for personal profit. In any rational time, this would be impeachable.

Fired by WAPO in the wake of last week’s events. Tell me again about freedom of the press.

Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

Genius parody.

"In fact, as ICE expands its operations in cities like LA, Chicago, and Boston, a key part of ICE’s efforts will be setting up random traffic stops and checkpoints throughout the city and making educated guesses about who to detain and who not to detain.

Charlie Kirk Gets Shot in Utah By A White Man, and Now HBCUs Are On Lockdown —Make It Make Sense This Substack is reader-supported.

A white man shoots Charlie Kirk at a white college in a white state and suddenly HBCUs are the ones under threat. Make it make sense. 👀

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Appalling.
