Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

The “and another vice chair” in question is Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania State Representative. He is an out queer Black Millenial from North Philly: the fact he was elected co-chair should be an entire story in itself. His erasure from the narrative is a huge marker of what’s ailing Dems.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

“I'm very much concerned with how the history of the southern freedom movement or civil rights movement is portrayed […] and one important gap in the history, in the portrayal of the movement, is the role of guns in the movement.” www.npr.org/2014/06/05/3...

Let's be totally clear: "immigration" as a concept is bullshit. It isn't more than 100 or so years old. Human beings have been moving around this planet however they wanted to for millenia before a small handful of folks decided that wasn't OK for some reason.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

This is what's been driving me f'ing crazy about the Democrats. They ceded the immigration debate to the GOP for no reason. Immigration is a net positive to this country and it's not even close. We have a broken immigration system but the problem isn't the immigrants, it's the politicians.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12
