The strongest Congressional response is: "Trump is levying war against the US in violation of the Treason Clause. It is the duty of Congress to pursue impeachment proceedings for the crime of treason." /end

Why Are Media and Mainstream Jewish Orgs Ignoring Judge's Antisemitic Dissent in Gerrymandering Case? It’s not often that you see a federal judge issue a frothing antisemitic diatribe and call it an “opinion.” You’d think that when that happened, there’d be an outcry—after all Trump has taken unpreced...

a judge just issued a wildly antisemitic opinion in a crucial civil rights case.

yet hardly anyone—including Jewish institutions—have pointed out that it's antisemitic. this seems bad.

My nomination for greatest miscasting of this century so far: Gwyneth Paltrow as Sylvia Plath.
Claire Danes would have KILLED it. And she was just the right age!

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

the people did not elect Stephen Miller to be President but Stephen Miller is, effectively, the President

‘Democrats are going to come to regret this’: After Epstein vote, Trump ready to attack The White House is frustrated about being backed into a corner on the Epstein vote. They plan to punish Democrats for it.

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files.

Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years.

He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together.

His attacks won't change any of that.

Call it the Underton Window -- the ever-narrowing field of violence-adjacent language deemed acceptable to ordinary people as compared to the dramatically expanded Overton Window with regard to openly violent language by the regime and its supporters.

One insurmountable and one low bar. Fair and balanced!

the nazis and pro-nazi media blamed all the ills of german society on jewish people. it was how they primed the pump before the holocaust. if u dehumanize people and say they cause all the problems, it becomes easy to exterminate them.

the right is doing the same thing to immigrants.

Was already on my Xmas shopping list, might have to make it 2

Because prices are up ;)

I would be angry if someone said “Quiet Piggy” to my dog

A family posing for a professional photographer with various sports equipment. The mom, dad, older brother, and sister are smiling for the camera, while the younger brother stands behind them holding a baseball bat with an unsettling look on his face.

...and that's how I ended up losing my job as a photographer's assistant.

I have been feeling depressed and discouraged that this man has the power and influence he does at my school and in my profession

And I am a tenured professor at Harvard! How much more protected can I be?

Imagine how STUDENTS feel. Junior faculty. This quote nails it

Hope that $15 million was worth it.

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

turns out a culture of complete elite impunity also bred a staggering degree of sexual depravity (not in the good way), and it sucks to see, actually

The nexus linking the broligarchs to MAGA & Christian nationalism is misogyny:

They all want women's bodies for free labor--sexual & reproductive & caregiving labor--MINUS the women's humanity.

Women without personhood is the shared political goal of all these groups.

"Large parts of the population living in Germany are calling for a reorientation of German foreign policy on Gaza and Israel. A majority believes Germany should clearly follow international law."

It's worth repeating: demanding Germany upholds its obligations is not radical, but a bare minimum

“Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas. Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman.

Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often.

pretty much beyond question that Larry Summers led the charge against Claudine Gay because he is personally a vitriolic misogynist and racist www.thecrimson.com/article/2024...

If the president can just raise taxes and spend money without Congressional approval, the constitution is null and void.

& if they are obvious omissions, just keep banging on about those

it was the 'gap in the tapes' as much as the tapes that undermined nixon

AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”
