American teachers union boss Randi Weingarten's new book rings warning bell about opponents to public education Jim DeFede talks with Randi Weingarten about the warning bell she rings in her new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers."

Attacking public education is a classic authoritarian tactic because schools teach critical thinking and foster pluralism. In my new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers," I talk about what this fight for public education means for our democracy.

In addressing whether removing Senator Schumer as leader should be an issue in Democratic primaries, Senator Sanders broadens the focus: "We need to take on the Democratic establishment all over this country."

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

MAGA likes to throw out their β€œChinese spy” bs line against Swalwell every time he is winning an argument, meanwhile Trump has been pardoning convicted Chinese spies every month for personal benefit.

Earlier this week, Mother Jones video correspondent @garrisonhayes.bsky.social visited a Nashville food bank where he talked to folks who’d recently lost their SNAP assistance. Here’s what they had to say.

This sure looks like purges as part of a larger effort to politicize the military.

Hard to overstate the seriousness. A professional, non-politicized, civilian-controlled military is one of those historically amazing things 2020s Americans take for granted.

The alternative is considerably worse.

Woke means kind and tolerant and inclusive and generous of spirit and enlightened and morally sound. And it’s not back. It never left for most of us. The only ones doubting it and wanting us to renounce it were the haters and their appeasers.

Video of a woman dancing in a giant glass at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago party.

Dear SINO,

Speaker In Name Only, remember when you compared yourself to Moses?

Yeah, well Mike, if Moses were anything like you, he’d have sold his soul to Pharaoh and danced in his ballroom while the people starved outside.

I feel like there’s momentum right now for Democratic candidates. But I also felt like there was momentum for Kamala Harris at the end & that she was likely to win, so what do I know? Anyway, vote!

'Utter lie!' Elon Musk's wild immigration claim flattened by legal expert A prominent immigration expert tore into tech billionaire Elon Musk on Friday for pushing a blatant falsehood that U.S. social assistance benefits are designed to attract illegal immigrants into the c...

I regret to inform you that Elon is lying again.

He said the reason Dems want SNAP is to convince immigrants to come here for the benefits, presumably we can melanize the country with our "great replacement" plot.

This is your reminder that millions of Americans will lose food benefits this weekend because Trump is refusing to tap his emergency fund.

Kids will go to school hungry because of this cruelty.

Here is DHS making false allegations about @katmabu.bsky.social.

Read the affidavit and show me where it alleges that she assaulted anyone.

Spoiler: it doesn't.

The conspiracy charge / title of the statute is throwing people off / leading to a lot of bad faith attacks.

Dems have a bill to fund SNAP and feed families through the shutdown. Yesterday, Senate R’s blocked it.

It’s needless and cruel to use hungry children as bargaining chips. Previous shutdowns did not cut SNAP. Release the funds.

These accomplishments happened in 2024, before Trump was President.

Also, I doubt he wrote this because I don't think he knows how to spell quantum, much less explain the concept.
