You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.

How Do I Leave the Prison of Gaza? “The world is small,” they say. But Gaza taught me that the world is too big to be shaken by the small tragedies that happen here. Too big to care about a starving human being who only …

"During the genocidal war on Gaza, I realized that we have no control over anything, neither over our fates, nor over the exit doors from cities that turn into open cemeteries."

The IRS Is Building a Vast System to Share Millions of Taxpayers’ Data With ICE ProPublica has obtained the blueprint for the Trump administration’s unprecedented plan to turn over IRS records to Homeland Security in order to speed up the agency’s mass deportation efforts.

Emails show that IRS chief counsel Andrew De Mello said a recent DHS request did not comply with the law.

Two days after refusing the demand to turn over more than 7 million home addresses, De Mello was pushed out of the top legal job.

The landlord gutting America’s hospitals Medical Properties Trust buys up hospitals and then leases them back to health care systems. Dozens of its hospitals have gone belly up.

One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted.

Zohran Mamdani Must Confront the NYPD. Here's What He Can Do. No single issue will be more challenging for a Mayor Mamdani than policing. But there are concrete steps he can take to reform the NYPD and curb its culture of impunity.

Ka’ila Farrell-Smith grew up deeply involved in the fight for Indigenous rights. “I’ve been warned my entire life, ‘The FBI’s watching us.’”

Now the agency is focused on her and a new generation of activists challenging a lithium mine in Nevada.

He Came to the U.S. to Support His Sick Child. He Was Detained. Then He Disappeared. Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

NEW: Of the 230+ Venezuelans deported to El Salvador:
• Almost half had immigration cases that were not yet decided
• More than 60 had pending asylum claims, some just days away from final hearings

These men had followed U.S. immigration procedures. Then Trump changed the rules.

Trump’s FTC Lays the Groundwork to Charge GAC Providers with “Fraud” Instead of working to protect Americans' privacy, the FTC is hosting what amounts to an anti-trans rally.

1. Yesterday, the FTC held a panel with anti-trans activists meant to justify charging providers of gender affirming care with fraud.

It is yet another avenue the Trump administration is trying to use to target trans care nationwide.

El Salvador's Bukele says 'preposterous' to suggest he return Abrego Garcia to U.S. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and several top Trump administration officials dismissed questions about the fate of a Maryland man wrongfully deported to El Salvador.

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

It's like people read about Hitler and the path to WWII but totally failed to absorb the part about appeasement and how it didn't work.

The cowardly capitulation of universities will only embolden the administration to crack down further on those institutions. Those who show weakness invite a greater spectacle of abuse, given that acts of submission excite rather than satiate the fascists.

If you don’t care about and fight for the right to protest Israel, you will lose the right to protest just about everything

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself.

He is his own ponzi scheme.

Kristi Noem in tight athleisure—white top, drawstring grey pants—in front of a prison cell packed with mostly shirtless men. Noem’s hair cascades out of her navy DHS cap. The men appear to be wearing loose white patient pants. Norm wears a heavy gold-and-silver watch. The men’s arms are at their sides or clasped in front, as if they’ve been told to stand at attention. Noem’s cap is pulled low, so we can’t really see her eyes; instead, her face appears comprised mainly of lips. The men’s heads have been shaved; there’s lighting on Noem but they’re in the murk, hard to distinguish from one another.

I showed my wife, a historian, the Kristi Noem video. She said “holy shit!” It’s a lot. A brief thread on bodies. It begins in the alt text below… 1/

WHAT TO DO IF ICE COMES KNOCKING
1) REMEMBER YOU HAVE RIGHTS
2) ICE CAN AND WILL LIE TO YOU
3) THEY CANNOT ENTER WITHOUT A WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE
4) THEY WILL USUALLY NOT HAVE A WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE AND WILL OFTEN LIE AND SAY THEY HAVE ONE. ASK TO SEE IT BEFORE THEY ENTER

Yes. Let's fucking go.

Rideshare drivers across Illinois are demanding their right to their own representation—along with better pay and working conditions. We're organizing with @seiulocal1.bsky.social, IAMAW Automobile Mechanics Local 701, and Chicago Gig Alliance to fight for drivers’ legal pathway to form a union!

We must demand better. Not Gavin Newsom, who snatches the belongings of unhoused folks and plays paddy cake with Steve Fucking Bannon. Not Rahm Emanuel, who covered up a murder, closed 50 schools, and shuttered half of Chicago's publicly funded mental health clinics. We need new and better politics.

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.
