Absolutely sick of these thugs standing like they are ready to empty an assault rifle into a Chicago playground at a moment’s notice.

Next Dem president needs to put all these GI Joe wannabes on desk duty, armed with nothing more than a cheap plastic water gun.

This behavior is vile.

What is unfolding in Sudan, where the armed group RSF has taken control of the key city of El Fasher, is "the sum of all our fears," says human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond. "RSF is killing at a scale and a velocity that I haven’t seen since Rwanda."

Have you ever looked at the US business created monstrosities that are maquiladoras--an outcome of neoliberalism--leading to another outcome: feminicide of the women workers. Here's Ciudad JuΓ‘rez.... From the top. The red markers are the maquilas.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics.

This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

New podcast about radical abolitionist Benjamin Lay, featuring Loretta Fox, Mark Povinelli, and me. If you donate, you get a free mug with Lay’s picture that says, β€œSmash this mug,” as he did to china cups in 1742 to protest the exploitation of tea and sugar workers.

🧡Excellent piece "They appear to have inverted the promise of the internet as an endless archive of information one can navigate for themselves. Do your own research has, in short order, become Get one canonical answer."

This helps explain why Trump/Vance have gone all in on AI...

Don’t forget: β€œcrime” by black and brown folks has long been the pretext for bringing the boomerang home, militarizing our streets, & deploying the tactics of colonial control on citizens.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Telling the Truth About the Supreme Court The task of interpreting the law is inherently β€œpolitical.” But no justice has been this comfortable saying so in public.

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump
