We are spending $45 million for a military parade that nobody asked for and taking away food from kids. What are we doing here?

if you're reporting on DOGE and not discussing that it's unspeakably inefficient to do illegal things and then have to undo them, you really aren't telling the story

The GOP’s big bill—under consideration this week—would be an accelerator of inequality: It would reduce after-tax income for the poorest 20% of households by 10%, increase incomes for the wealthiest, and impose senseless work requirements for Medicaid, all while increasing the debt by $3 trillion.

It’s really important to keep saying the obvious part out loud: this administration is advancing a white supremacist project that’s been long in the making. Their problem isn’t just with democracy. It’s with multiracial democracy, specifically.

We never took seriously the need to educate teachers and students on how to evaluate websites, so, yes, we have every reason to worry about how they will use AI in their classrooms. #historyteacher #sschat #edusky

i think this is true. Dems pretend to care but, when it's time to fight, they negotiate their positions away.

Stop using "felon" as a pejorative. I have known A LOT of people charged with or convicted of felonies who were good and decent people. When you have 4% of the world's population and 22% of the world's prisoners in a racialized police state, "felon" isn't predictive of anything, character-wise.

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. The Pentagon loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

To be clear, the "fight" in the GOP is NOT about whether to gut Medicaid; it is about HOW MUCH to gut Medicaid, to subsidize tax cuts for the rich.

1. The Supreme Court has allowed a military ban that calls transgender people inherently "dishonorable" to go into effect. This is a devastating ruling that opens the door for much worse. I detail what this means for trans servicemembers in my latest. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The sculpture Solar Totem #1 by Don Drumm (1967) was still new but pierced by a bullet when the Ohio National Guard murdered students at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. The artist said, “I'm sorry that all the bullets didn't go into the sculpture instead of hitting the students."

Watching this happen from behind the counter, as emails pour in giving details about reduced supply, increasing wait times, new pre-order rules, and price increases. Toys aren't our primary line, but supplying sustainably made, non-gendered, creativity-celebrating toys is part of our mission.

The Trump Administration’s first 100 days, to me, has been characterized in part by an attempt to normalize the dehumanization of black and brown people, so I guess this celebration of an enslaver and mutilator of black and brown people isn’t a surprise. jacobin.com/2015/10/the-...

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is not a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...
