Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

This so so neat! When these worms transitioned from ocean to land, their DNA got scrambled into spaghetti!

🚨THIS STORY IS INSANE. The Trump administration shipped a guy to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial, in conditions worse than we treat even convicted serial killers, because he was in a picture standing next to someone with tattoos. LITERALLY NO OTHER EVIDENCE.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

A Muslim candidate for mayor of the nation's largest city, defending the rights of a Jewish candidate for mayor, who was arrested for defending the rights of immigrants not to face detention without warrants. This is the kind of solidarity Trump and his goons fear.

This is beautiful: denied art supplies, incarcerated artist Juan Hernandez learns to make his own canvasses, and then creates an instructional zine to teach others to do the same. "As the Illinois prison system continues to take away resources from us, we must find creative ways to undo their harm."

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

Part of what it looks like to *save ourselves* is for folks to take over our library, park, water and other local boards. Get leftists on there who can make decisions that benefit the working class. We can do that because few people actually pay attention to those levers of power.

Must-read piece on "End Times Schooling" by @jessehagopian.bsky.social who has done so much to unleash the liberatory power of education.

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.

There's a more complete story out now for what happened at the Library of Congress today. Library staff denied access to new appointees to senior library positions without a Senate-confirmed Librarian in place. Recognizing the former #2 as in charge in the interim. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

Somebody called the ICE officers and told them to go into the public area and arrest Baraka. Any guesses who that might have been?

One reason the Democrats are not inspiring much confidence as an “opposition party” is that their leader supports a fascist crackdown by his own political opponents because it aligns with his personal support for an apartheid foreign government.

Explicitly defining "meaningful learning" as "patriotism in American history" is 🧠🪱 behavior

I don't work for DCASE, but I have experienced the culture of fear and frustration the Commissioner has created in less than a year. Frankly, sad.
