Your Black History Moment

Not in The Epstein Files.

This is such a good read, @aaronrosspowell.com !

Exactly. I hope Yale (at the very least) puts strict limits on his interactions with students, as they have with Jed Rubenfeld... But given Yales cravenness lately (and in this article!), I doubt they will.

100% yes, but Atrios will, of course, be waiting forever.

Why is Elon Musk's name being redacted here?

So weird how this keeps happening.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

Trump’s New “Prison Camp” Threat Unleashes Fury Even in MAGA Country The next phase of ICE’s big ramp-up: a nationwide network of vast detention facilities. But guess what? Even parts of Red America are saying no.

Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

When Love Thy Neighbor Is a Cry of Resistance Today marks one full year for this newsletter, and here's the 77th post (I thought once a week was going to be a lot, but there's so much going on I wrote almost 1.5 times a week over the past year). ...

At the very heart of the conflict raging in the United States is a conflict about human nature, a deep moral and philosophical conflict. I believe the isolationists will lose in the long run because they are not only out of step with the majority but they are out of step with reality....

Raskin says nationwide general strike may be needed to stop Trump “I think the people of Minnesota have shown us…the direction we may need to go,” the Maryland Democrat said.

The Epstein files are a reminder of how rarely men police the actions of other men in their peer groups.

Still a bit flummoxed that Trump hasn't done a single thing he didn't say he was going to do and some people are still somehow absolutely shocked at what he's done.

🤣

to be fair, plenty of people don't want to rape kids, they just think it's extremely important to fight for the right for rich guys to rape kids, especially if those rich guys are funding their think tanks etc

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

🧵This is what our tax dollars are going towards.

Not education, health care, or public transport.

Cages for people.

DHS just paid $70 million in cash for a warehouse in Surprise, AZ.

The week before, $102 million for one in Maryland.

A third in El Paso.
