It's genuinely insane how much we've let the crackdown on these protests consume civil society

I dunno if like three to five times as many random people were in the streets to protest as there are total members of the entire military (active duty plus reserves) I might make that more than a one-day story instead of the limp, sad-trombone parade he forced on a few of those military members

What we are seeing in Los Angeles right now with #NoKings is after several hours of a massive protest that was 100%, law enforcement—abruptly and without provocation—began firing tear gas, flash bangs and pepper balls at protesters. It was broadcast live on air. “Unrest” is on them.

The fact that people turned out in huge numbers to protest in Minnesota even after a right-wing chud assassinated a Democratic member of the legislature is a good example of why we are going to win.

you know defund was correct because that's exactly what Trump did to agencies they didn't like when they took office (IRS, CFPB, libraries, foreign aid, vaccine research, i'm tired of typing)

Teen cousins on their way to a family birthday in Las Vegas were detained near an ICE protest—targeted for simply “looking illegal.” “We're minors just trying to go home,” one told an officer. “Doesn't matter, you guys are illegal,” he replied. They left with bloody legs, bruised arms, faces.

Good point here from Stanley: lack of GOP representation occurs in fields beyond humanities and social science. It's not about universities abandoning the GOP, but the GOP divorcing itself from science.

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

don't like what it says about america that we are increasingly comfortable electing politicians and platforming propagandists who routinely espouse cynicism, disgust, and bitter resentment towards the jurisdictions they aim to serve. "yeah, this place sucks" shouldn't get you any votes!

My freshman year I went to visit a friend at UPENN. She introduced me to a weird truculent friend who wore an M-16 bullet around his neck. It was his conversation piece so he could explain to you why he was obsessed with joining the IDF and crushing the first intifada. That kid was Jeffrey Goldberg.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

I think one of the things that makes me feel really lost a lot is how only liberal currents and the bulwark seem willing to make universal affirmations of Liberal ideals.

Israel aggressively bombing Iran—unlike two incidents of strikes in 2024, which followed Iranian missiles launches against Israel—is in part another consequence of a weak, chaotic US president. Worth noting that this didn't happen under Biden, Obama, or Bush, despite Israel talking about it a lot.

For no reason, today I've been thinking about that time a bunch of GOP House members broke into a SCIF where classified hearings were being held with media in tow, refused to give up their devices, and live tweeted from inside. No one was escorted out or put in cuffs. www.wired.com/story/republ...
