my daughters have watched it at least 5 times

way to go!!!

A black and white graphic with an image of Frederick Douglass on the right, and a quote from Douglass in white text on the left: “The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice. I must mourn.” Below, light blue text reads: “From abolitionist Frederick Douglass’s July 3, 1852 speech, ‘What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?’” The ACLU logo is featured in light blue at the bottom.

Since our nation’s founding, the fabric of American society has been woven with deeply racist policies systematically barring marginalized communities from accessing opportunities in jobs, education, and housing.

The time is now to root out racism and build a future grounded in equity for all.

I’ve warned about the nativist mind virus for many years. They’d destroy the economy, bankrupt the government, shred the Constitution, trample our freedoms, and imprison their own people to get what they want: not just mass deportation, but something more like ethnic cleansing

He left because of a dispute with his school administration

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

Remember when nativists pretended to care about the costs that one city was choosing to incur to house immigrants who were unable to work because their nativist laws? Now they're paying all that and more to arrest, detain, and house people who were working and paying taxes.

As a teacher I have come to despise Takis

Sure, it seems stupid for Trump to post "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" on social media but imagine if it had worked! That's the kind of outside-the-box thinking Trump brings to the most powerful political position in the Western world.

Alex Padilla is an American citizen of Mexican descent. The video of a Mexican-American being manhandled by thugs will play extremely well with the sort of trash who support Trump. Decent people are outraged. Shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture are thrilled.

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

Supreme Court opinions in 2 minutes. THREE box day.

It’s insane how many people were mad at inflation and then voted for this

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease.

I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

A student said to me at an event today, ‘I’d love to speak out and say stuff but I can’t because I’m on a visa.’

What has happened to America?

Trump and Rubio and MAGA have killed free speech and the First Amendment in this country.

Not gonna keep posting the whole thing but this feels like one of the core sicknesses of mainstream media that got us here: The refusal of journalists to assess claims on the merits.

Yes, RFK Jr. "questions the system" like many on the left but he is also fucking wrong! That distinction matters!

Billy Carter did get sober later in his life and made amends with President Carter.

A sitting cabinet member being unable to define the bedrock principle of Anglo-American law for nearly a millennium will get .00001% of the coverage devoted to Hillary Clinton’s email server or Joe Biden’s mental capacity

OK, I have a busy day tomorrow, so I am stepping away early from here tonight. … Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

good night

awesome

nice!!

Kudos to Sen. Chris Van Hollen. You know who surely would have gone as well and made this a bipartisan effort, if he were alive? Sen. John McCain.

If you write 50 articles a year about how squirrels are spreading rabies and kids are getting bitten and gee someone should really do something about all these squirrels, you can’t plead innocence when America elects the We Hate Squirrels Party

You are completely fucked up as a newspaper if you think RFK Jr deserves praise for anything he has done so far in his new role- which is really nothing except pushing anti-medicine and anti-vaccine propaganda.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
