77 Barnard staff laid off today including two librarians and an archivist. Also 30 union members. Zine library staff are still here.

Battling the elites. One redirected river at a time

NEW: Apple CEO, Tim Cook, arrives at the White House with a 24 karat gold gift for Trump.

When the history books are written, these compliant, knee-bending billionaires will be excoriated. They will be labelled co-conspirators.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

LOL. Ghislaine Maxwell also said Jeffrey Epstein never did anything disturbing around her! That's how she caught two perjury charges.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

LOL

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

Governor Pritzker speaks while standing next to Texas Democratic legislators.

House Majority Leader Gene Wu speaks at a press conference. Several legislators, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, stand behind him.

House Majority Leader Gene Wu speaks at a press conference. Several legislators, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, stand behind him.

Donald Trump is trying to cheat the system in Texas, but these Democratic legislators refuse to let it happen without a fight. 

Their fight is our fight. I’m proud to stand side-by-side with them as they protect their constituents.

That amounts to an abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office. When the Governor calls a Special Session, our Constitution provides that the “Legislature shall meet.” TEX. CONST. art. III, § 5 (emphasis added). It’s not optional. It’s a duty. The absconded Democrat House members were elected to meet and vote on legislation—not to prevent votes that may not go their way. Every session, legislators on both sides of the aisle find themselves on the losing side of a legislative vote. And every session, most of those legislators find a way to disagree agreeably and behave like adults, rather than going AWOL. This truancy ends now. The derelict Democrat House members must return to Texas and be in attendance when the House reconvenes at 3:00 PM on Monday, August 4, 2025. For any member who fails to do so, I will invoke Texas Attorney General Opinion No. KP-0382 to remove the missing Democrats from membership in the Texas House. In that Opinion, the Attorney General considered “whether Texas law allows for a determination that a legislator has vacated office” if they intentionally break quorum. The Attorney General concluded that “whether a specific legislator abandoned his or her office such that a vacancy occurred will be a fact question for a court.” He further concluded that “through a quo warranto action, a district court may determine that a legislator has forfeited his or her office due to abandonment and can remove the legislator from office, thereby creating a vacancy.” That empowers me to swiftly fill vacancies under Article III, Section 13 of the Texas Constitution. In addition to abandoning their offices, these legislators may also have committed felonies. Many absentee Democrats are soliciting funds to evade the fines they will incur under House rules. Any Democrat who “solicits, accepts, or agrees to accept” such funds to assist in the violation of legislative duties or for purposes of skipping a vote may have violated bribery laws. See TEX. PENAL…

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a statement saying he will seek to expel Dems who've left the state from office, adding that he would have the power to fill any vacancies that result.

He's also warning that Dems could face criminal prosecution under TX bribery laws. gov.texas.gov/news/post/go...

Doesn’t it seem incongruent that Marian is accepting of Oscar but unwilling to listen to an explanation from Larry? 🤔 #GildedAge

Column: The Corporation for Public Broadcast is ‘winding down.’ What does that mean for public radio and TV? The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it is “wind-down” operations. What does this mean for public radio and TV?

I gave an in-depth interview with my hometown Chicago Tribune about what’s going to happen to NPR and PBS, and how cutting public media is part of a broader anti-democratic ideological project.

Sure seems like the President of the United States is going to pardon a convicted sex trafficker and serial abuser who ran a pedophilia ring with his best friend in the whole wide world.

Well, this is, indeed, really fucking bad
