It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

I think if you’re a lawmaker calling for U.S. military action against Iran, you should be required to post a verified video of yourself pointing it out on an unlabeled map and offering at least an undergraduate level summary of the past five years of Iranian foreign policy.

the thing about Israel conducting an insane campaign of arbitrary violence against Iran while we were trying to negotiate with Iran is that, fundamentally, US foreign policy was the target, not Iran

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

It isn't the content that's the problem. It's the way that center and left discourse is stuck behind paywalls while rightwing discourse is pushed out free, bankrolled by billionaires, and distributed like wildfire across social networks. We aren't failing at ideas, we're failing at spreading them.

Nostalgia in politics can work for more than one thing, it doesn't only have to be a guy saying "Don't you miss being racist" it could be a different guy saying "Remember when people had pensions"

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 64 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The Miranda warning says that anything you say can and will be used against you, it doesn't mention anything, whatsoever, about anything you say being used to exonerate you in court. You literally cannot possibly talk yourself out of guilt, only ever into it.

Every news article telling me the military is planned for T***p’s birthday instead of telling me the date. Are there no more copyeditors? So much trash being passed off as news.

What many students don’t understand is humanities profs don’t assign writing to get the product. We are extending invitations to know yourself. If you conjure AI, it doesn’t impact us. You cheat only yourself. And knowing yourself today is the best defense you’ve got against fascism.

Two things are true. This is the country we have always lived in. This is what it has always been like for millions of people. It's nevertheless worse now.

Instead of wasting it on a stadium+parking wasteland that sits empty 330 days a year, RFK could fit 10-15,000 new homes, which would make a massive dent in our city's housing crisis and fortify our budget too. My latest for @ggwash.org ggwash.org/view/99249/l...

Elon and DOGE didn't find any fraud. None. Not because it doesn't exist, but because they have no idea how to find it or what it looks like. In the process, they destroyed a lot of the monitoring, investigation, and accountability that actually prevents and reduces fraud.

The entire point of our country is that you get to have political opinions people in power don’t like and still have the freedom to be at the birth of your child. The extent to which we have lost our way is hard to wrap my head around.

Italy has fined Amazon $1.3bn for unfair business practices. In the UK Amazon does not even pay the £3bn a year tax that it should. It's time for us to fine and tax the hell out of Amazon.

I’m actually from a tiny (<2000) town in semi-rural PA where the biggest employer when I was growing up was the state prison. So I can speak to this one with a lot more authority than this author. It’s got almost zero to do with abstractions like their “ way of life”. I can tell you what they say…
