Mahmoud Khalil missed his child’s birth and first weeks of life because his speech and beliefs were presented as somehow threatening to American security and Jewish safety and there were people who knew full well that that was untrue who defended his detention. It will never not be obscene.

Why push for impeachment? Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate. The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention. Performative public investigations matter

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

This is unfathomably shameful. How do we even have to debate this? Why would anyone ever again be so foolish as to trust or help the United States if this is how we treat people who risk their lives on our behalf?

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

I think this oversimplifies the story. NYT is read by elites, and is a major agenda setter for the msm writ large. It, at least plausibly, has the capacity to shape the broad tenor of coverage which does ultimately filter down to voters

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

great reminder to all of those Democrats and liberals saying that we need to abandon red states because they are gerrymandered into right wing autocracies where the vote isn’t in their favor instead of accepting that we are gonna have to fight for every American no matter where they are.

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.

We know Hegseth is crazy enough to give the order for the military to shoot citizens in big cities, but I wonder how many commanders will pass those orders on knowing this country is awash in guns, all owned by citizens. Normie citizens.

The thing about the military attempting to take over a city is that the people aren't scared. The administration wishes the citizens were as weak and scared as @schumer.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov. Don't worry Elissa, we'll do the job you can't do. But you'll be fired when it's over.

These are unspeakably dark and horrific times. Going out today and standing with people who are demanding that this country become better than it is feels so small. But also, and crucially, it feels better than doing nothing.

Two important things to note: 1) the most significant violence we’ve seen this year was not against ICE or Trump or members of his administration, but against Democrats 2) when ICE scoffs at people asking for warrants or for identification, THIS IS WHY THEY ASK www.fox9.com/news/melissa...
