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.

Hate having cause to repost this so frequently! Linking my college roommate @leahlitman.bsky.social’s book because it annoyingly keeps getting MORE RELEVANT (and it’s a great read/she’s a wizard /her podcast Strict Scrutiny is a must listen with 2 other boss hosts). bookshop.org/p/books/lawl...

Should have been front-page news every day since it happened.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

the notion that all people should survive in society is deemed radical, and the notion that an increasing number of people should be crushed by society is deemed realistic; I think we ought to switch those positions, and beat with switches those who oppose

No, they don’t.

New in PN: SCOTUS clears the path for Trump's network of global gulags "With one paragraph, the Court undercut lower court judges and consigned countless immigrants to be renditioned to a system of gulags. It will have lasting corrosive effects on American civil society and respect for the courts."

I wish I didn’t know so much about this horrendous belief. But I do. And I wrote this @hyperallergic.com. hyperallergic.com/874231/the-m... The Modern Resurrection of the Antichrist

A full investigation must be done into Pam Bondi and Emil Bove And who gave them their marching orders.

I first wrote about Mikey Weinstein and the @militaryreligiousfreedom.org, which has been fighting for the rights of Jews, Muslims, atheists, and others to be free from religious coercion within the U.S. military, nearly 20 years ago and I am glad to see him out here still fighting the good fight.

This is a clear message & needs to be refined & simplified further & repeated (w/easy to understand receipts & examples) ad nauseam. It’s the truth & it’s a winning message for those of us who aren’t guaranteed the healthcare, housing, & fair pay that we earn.

"[Trump's HUD Secretary Scott] Turner has made specific requests for accommodations in the building...These include a dedicated executive suite on the 19th floor, construction of an executive dining room, and reserved parking spaces for his five cars." www.alxnow.com/2025/06/24/r...

This is hands down the best, most enjoyable, and far-ranging discussion that I have had in recent memory. Katie brought so much to this interview about vibecessions, “finance guy” memes as politics of social reproduction in casino capitalism, Bama Rush and DSA. moneywithkatie.com/status-power...

If a Democratic appointee indulged in this level of self-serving decadence, we'd never hear the end of it, and I feel like we should be hearing a lot more about this

Tonight's result made me think about this Nate Silver tweet and I had a good chuckle

i feel sad for the jews who are choosing fear right now because i’ve never felt safer and more in community with my fellow new yorkers

Zohran Mamdani is very much not an antisemite. Signed: Your very very Zionist and Jewish friend.

Amen! No reason to follow a lawless court!

“Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced plans to repeal the 2001 “roadless rule” that had preserved the wild nature of nearly a third of the land in national forests in the United States.” Monstrous pillagers.

🧵 A lot of people experiencing the NY mayor’s race have started wondering why the city’s elite media so hates Zohran Mamdani and so worships Andrew Cuomo. Follow along and let me explain...

I'm excited for you to read the first story by our newest writing fellow Naomi Bethune. It's about the spate of ICE impersonations, and how an agency allegedly committed to public safety is demonstrably making people less safe through secrecy tactics that invite crime. prospect.org/justice/2025...

“It’s the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.” It's a play in three regressive parts: 1. Tax cuts for the rich. 2. Spending cuts on the poor. 3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.

Proposed Medicaid cuts could threaten the viability of five rural Pennsylvania hospitals. www.goerie.com/story/news/p...

This is a powerful piece that correctly describes cuts to Medicaid as a "humanitarian crisis in the making."

“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

It's not going to "vanish," it's going to be eliminated by the current administration. 🌿🌎

Abundance Guys claim America’s affordable housing crisis is mostly driven by low supply rather than landlord price gouging. They insist we must therefore sell off public land to real estate developers because there supposedly arent enough houses. The next time they say that, show them this 👇

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration
