Genuinely perfect encapsulation of Trumpism, if we do something bad, it's your fault for not stopping us. We should all take that to heart. bsky.app/profile/jwmu...

If only fascists and evangelical Christian supremacists aren't considered on the Left in the U.S., then we need a different word for actual leftists.

NeoLiberalisms in essence is just the wish that the fascism Trump was doing was more civil and wasn’t so disruptive to their status quo not that he wasn’t doing it. If you’re a “centrist” on fascist disappearances and extrajudicial blackbagging of your political enemies, you’re a fascist

After being told by the Supreme Court to bring Abrego Garcia home, and that it was illegal to send him and others to a foreign gulag without due process, the Trump administration this weekend sent 10 more people to the Salvadoran gulag without process.

“Now students are being violently arrested and disappeared in the name of fighting antisemitism—and American Jews are left holding a gun a majority of us never asked for.”

SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

I'm really confused as to why people in 2025 are still claiming the G. Greenwald was a leftist???? He was a libertarian who at first supported the Iraq war. Later he hated drones but only when Obama was using them. I don't understand the revisionist history here.

Anyone who tells you that you have no power to effect change is trying to prevent you from effecting change. ✨

They’re doing BioShock

there’s no reason not to do this. it’d probably end up with another kind of constitutional crisis, which is exactly why it should happen.

"Based" doesn't come from "based in reality" or "freebased" (lol). Based comes from Lil B aka BasedGod, an early cloud rapper and a hugely influential figure on early weird Twitter. The terminally online right might not know it but they took "based" from the culture.

Look I'm not a topologist but Harvard's now-silent we've-got-to-do-something-about-cancel-culture-on-college-campuses spokesperson is so far up his own ass that we're looking a human Klein bottle.

The only people Trump cares less about than Jews are Palestinians. They're doing this because they think it's hilarious to usher in a new era of fascism while saying they're doing it to protect Jews. No media outlet should be playing along with this, or giving it the slightest bit of legitimacy.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

Back in 2006-7 the consensus was that especially on the heels of 9/11 there was no way the country could elect someone with a “middle eastern” name let alone a black person. He won 29 states, 365 electoral votes and by 7 percentage points. AOC28

The thing I haven't heard that's alarming me is that people are generally not saying 'when u elect me/my party i'm going to bring back everything they eliminated/turn everything back on again.' as we found out in michigan, when something is gone, it stays gone. and that's too horrible to think abt.

you would not know it from listening to republican politicians or the news or trump himself, but to the extent that trump is in danger of assassination from anyone, it's pretty consistently coming from the far right or the conspiracy wing

IDK still seems concerning, anyone?

Refusing to eat at any buffet that doesn't have troughs of trash and broken glass

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

People learn nothing. Arendt wrote so clearly about the increasing targetting of people, starting with non-nationals, then dual nationals, then a succession of undesirable nationals. Nothing will protect you. Fascism requires an ever larger circle of enemies to blame for its own failings.

the left was mostly absent at a recent homophobia convention. the left was mostly absent at the last white power parade. the left was m

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

One of the doctors RFK claimed was doing “heroic” work “curing” kids of measles . . . a) is treating kids with a steroid, which is making them sicker b) said the idea came from god in a dream c) boasted about treating kids *while he himself had the measles* www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I always knew conceptually how my family was sent to their death in the Holocaust by friends and countrymen capitulating. But watching it happen in real time so quickly, so easily, with twisted justification and hand waving is putting a whole new spin on understanding the horror they must have felt.

I don't really know what to do about stuff like "rural people voted for Trump because they think Biden refused to give aid to western North Carolina" when Biden gave the aid and Trump denied it.

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

People who excuse sexism will draw the line at racism, but the thing is that the sexism is what smuggles the racism in.

Our institute @iecb.bsky.social is looking for new group leaders. The call is also addressing plant scientists🌱! Join us in the beautiful city of Bordeaux! www.iecb.u-bordeaux.fr/en/news/grou...

Let's be clear, these tariffs are not about reordering trade relations. They are a dominance performance, and it is about demonstrating dominance over consumers just as much as any foreign power. He is telling us peasants to shut up and drink our chicory and mud brew, smile, and thank him for it.

Legacy media stop being State stenographers when

people keep saying “We are becoming North Korea” or “We are becoming Iran” because the average liberal will turn to blatant orientalism before facing the true horror of America’s decline: We are becoming England

Had an international student ask whether their research papers might create problems for them with ICE. I said, I couldn't be 100% sure, but that they were welcome to submit hard copies. That's where we are.

New Mexico made child care free for most families. Believe it or not, the good thing is good. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pathetic attempt by Enrique Tarrio and a handful of Proud Boys in Del Ray Beach today to boot lick for billionaire Elon Musk and mess with Tesla protesters.

It gets worse: The order found that the administration was covertly withholding millions in FEMA funds from blue states.

From 1999-2013, RFK sold his own brand of bottled water (in plastic bottles, and with a horrible carbon footprint) that contained TWO TIMES the upper limit of fluoride recommended for dental health, which is more than the safely allowable amount per US Public Health Service, and IS potentially toxic

Innumeracy in this country is worse than illiteracy. People don't understand even basic concepts, like how percentages work. If something drops in price by 50% one day, and goes up in price by 50% the next day, it's not the same price it was. $100 ⬇️50% = $50 $50 ⬆️50% = $75 Math is important!

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.
