The Cowardice of Senate Democrats Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.

I love it!

Watercolor (colorful horizontal lines) and a quote from MLK: Those who sit silent while another's rights are violated inevitably come to one of two ends...Either they ultimately compromise their principles to survive in a police state, or they are eventually crushed themselves when it is too late to resist.

"Most people are taught almost nothing." Was just thinking something similar this morning. This, for example:

Front matter for a book entitled The Church Committee Report edited and introduced by Matthew Guariglia and Brian Hochman

I love getting page proofs. Our abridged 50th anniversary edition of the Church Committee Report will be out January 2026.

It's the first time *ever* this landmark investigation into abuses committed by the American Intelligence apparatus has been published by a major press for the general public.

“An Armenian woman I considered an aunt asked me every time I saw her, “Rümeysa, please write about us. Please let the world hear our story.”

If you read only one thing today, read this!

Given this, it is all the more urgent that we create education is subversive in meaningful ways. The @zinnedproject.bsky.social is indispensable. Please support them, and all other learning projects. And my dear colleagues in academia—wake up and pitch in FFS.

This week, @cunychancellor.bsky.social Felix Matos Rodriguez is being paraded before the House Committee on Education and Workforce so MAGA Republicans can lecture him about what kinds of speech, dissent, and protest are acceptable on our campuses. (1/4) @ucaft.bsky.social @aaup.org

CUNY suspends student activist leader, fires four faculty members in escalation of repression against Palestine activism Activists say the City University of New York is escalating its repression against Palestine activism by suspending a student leader and terminating the positions of four faculty members who have been...

Please amplify: @brooklyncollege.bsky.social has fired 4 adjunct faculty without reason for their pro-Palestine politics. The PSC-CUNY calls it the new McCarthyism. Remember with the McCarthyism of the 1950s-60s, Brookyn College also fired many 'red' faculty & artists. mondoweiss.net/2025/07/cuny...

Hi @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, what are you going to do about this?

DHS Head Kristi Noem Prioritized Instagram Pics Over FEMA Requests for Response to Texas Floods It took Noem four days to respond to requests from FEMA, delaying access to some search and rescue tools.

Kristi Noem, whose department oversees FEMA, issued a new rule requiring all contracts and grants costing over $100,000 to be personally approved by her. As floodwaters were rising in Texas, Noem failed to respond to such requests, taking 4 days to approve the spending that could have saved lives.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Apropos of the @nytimes.com "journalistic integrity", on April 4, Teen Vogue published this piece I wrote on my new book KING OF THE NORTH & Coretta Scott King's pivotal global activism. Two weeks later, the New York Times "discovered" the same history. The NYT needs to bring back the Public Editor!

Chris Rufo congratulates his "friends at the New York Times" for scooping him on the Zohran Mamdani college application thing.

The NYT should just cut to the chase and make Chris Rufo the executive editor.

Just get rid of any pretense that they’re not his errand boys.

If you ever consider Chris Rufo a competitor, you need to rethink everything about your existence

The Big Ugly Bill throws millions off Medicaid and SNAP, gives ICE more money than most militaries, and makes the wealth Fascism On The Fourth | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

The Big Ugly Bill throws millions off Medicaid and SNAP, gives ICE more money than most militaries, and makes the wealthiest households in America even richer.

Heather and I break it all down on today's Klatch. https://youtu.be/Yc4xl3nz_Ac?si=nj70FlizV909V1Y6

the sister of the race science "academic" quoted by the New York Times in their shameless hit piece on Zohran Mamdani seems like a lovely person and is insisting her brother was never awarded his PhD and is just pretending to be a professional academic

We must not leave this out of the account of what they have done. What Musk and Trump and Vought did. What Johnson and his band of sycophants allowed them to do. What tens of millions of fellow Americans endorse.

Nothing says #July4 like a big juicy slice of watermelon. This yummy fruit doesn't just appear on our picnic table. It takes a lot of work. An average watermelon weighs 20 pounds. Can you imagine harvesting them in a 98° Bakersfield area field like these workers?

What kind of progress do you make when the people most affected by the exploitation of our society are the people who change the systems under which we live? @liztheoharis.kairoscenter.org and Noam Sandweiss-Back tell the untold story of the anti-poverty movement. buff.ly/O5WueGg
