I regret to inform you that Stew Peters wrote a children's book. And it's just as bad as you'd think it is. angrywhitemen.org/2025/06/28/s...

Sam Alito’s “Pride Puppy” Ruling Brings Disgrace Upon the Supreme Court flip.it/XeeN6A

If things are going so well for the establishment, why does ONE young Dem mayor nominee scare them so much? They are terrified of what comes next.

White Christian nationalist Andrew Isker professes a belief in witchcraft, says European Christians put an end to it in the Americas, and offers a justification for the Salem witch trials. angrywhitemen.org/2025/06/27/a...

trump remade the Republican party in his own image over the course of like six months so yeah, i do think political parties can pivot to do things that work

"They are happy to use us as pawns for their own political purposes." Jewish mayoral candidate & Mamdani ally @bradlander.bsky.social & slams Trump & rightwingers both for their use of antisemitism to smear their opponents & their Islamophobia. My full interview: zeteo.com/p/they-use-u...

Fight back against the Gestapo.

Low enrollment, high costs, a backlog of more than 5,000 applications: Georgia’s Medicaid work requirement program — the only one in the nation — offers a window into how the GOP’s nationwide proposal could impact your state 👇

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable. REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

almost ten years ago. what a different world this would be if people had listened instead of mocking her.

Litman: The irony of this just spillth over—because the Biden administration was subject to nationwide injunction after nationwide injunction in cases that didn’t warrant it. And they asked the Supreme Court, “Guys, can you do something about this?” The Republican justices declined to do so.

ICE blasts through door using explosives, armored vehicle & drone—all 3 people in house were U.S. citizens. Agents did not knock or give warning—immediately set off explosives & flew in a drone. Then at least 10 agents who were crouched behind an armored vehicle stormed the house.

the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

The masked agents pull up quickly. They jump out of unmarked vans. They wear blue jeans or battle fatigues. They approach Latinos, yelling and carrying assault rifles. If someone runs, they’re taken. If they don’t answer a question, they’re taken. If they can’t produce papers, they’re taken.

I would be more persuaded about the SCOTUS claims that injunctions are bad if they were willing to show any sort of alacrity to address obvious constitutional violations

A genuine “Thank you,” to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for the mention in a recent issue of her newsletter. You are likely already subscribed, but if you’re not…the Heather Cox Richardson Substack newsletter is essential reading.

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” “In sadness, I dissent.” “With deep disillusionment, I dissent.” What’s next?

If your leaders keep failing you by being weak, and everyone makes fun of them for being weak, and they lose all the battles they should have won? Then it’s long past time to replace your leaders. because they are obviously very bad leaders. You don’t owe them a goddamn thing.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson? Harvard undergrad, Harvard Law, magna cum laude, cum laude, and editor of the Harvard Law Review. That’s what elite talent looks like. Charlie Kirk? Dropped out of community college. Game. Set. Match.

“In four separate cases, federal judges have not only moved to a final judgment with minimal deliberation but wholeheartedly rejected Mr. Trump’s orders in scathing terms…“

If I could say one thing to Kristi Noem...face to face, it would probably not be what you think, but it would bother her more than many of the other things I could say: "Hey...Kristi; my eyelashes are longer than yours. Oh, by the way...they're all mine...and there's not a speck of mascara."

a crowd has gathered at the UVA rotunda in response to the forced resignation of president jim ryan

How much longer can this go on😡😭 “One of the agents lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying. The 6 yo boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours." www.tpr.org/border-immig...

He needs a ghost writer for his tweets, too.

Sounds about right.

Of course, corporate media is doing the dirty work for the party that gives tax breaks to wealthy corporations. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

Corporate Media is asking if Democrats are going to be able to distance themselves from a Democratic candidate for mayor of NYC who backs free childcare, while Republicans in Congress push, with their president, a bill that would kill 40,000 in working families per year by ending healthcare access.

I believe the Democratic establishment would rather crush Mamdani than really embrace him and why he, and others, like AOC are winning. Hope I'm wrong. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

thanks @bencollins.bsky.social 😭😭😭 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Appreciate being quoted! But, I was also a contributing op-ed writer for NYT for 5 years. Still, I'll take "liberal commentator" or, better yet, editor of The Left Hook ;) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/n...

Rep. Madeleine Dean to Kari Lake: "You are a propaganda machine for the Trump administration."

The fascists are freaking out and fleeing NYC. I see this as an absolute win!
