It is time for Democrats to go on the attack, and take away tax-exempt status for every church that unabashedly campaigned for Trump. Take off the gloves, start to destroy the opposing institutions that fund the fascist movement.

The largest paying crowd in the history of Wrigley Field was the day Jackie Robinson made his debut. Wrigley is the only park left Jackie played a game in. Mike Ryoko was a kid at that ballpark that day and he wrote about it. Take a minute and read this today. press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Conservative anti-government ideology is basically just “if I don’t personally use a government service then it shouldn’t exist.”

Some of us always meant it, but yeah, I was just commiserating with an old Reason colleague about what a disappointing eye-opener the Trump era has been. If we’re not all-hands for this, if we can’t see an authoritarian emergency this obvious, who are we even kidding?

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

The New York Times has obtained the autopsies of the Palestinian medics massacred by the Israeli occupation army. They show that some were shot point blank in the skull.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Fitting the "gerontocracy is all of our problems" theme of the moment, the margin between elected republicans and democrats in the house is razor thin, but deaths and hospitalizations among the democrats artificially increase the GOP margin and will until those seats can be filled by younger reps.

Overseas pressure groups targeting civil society in the UK is something that urgently needs more scrutiny. The National Trust has frequently been campaigned against via a group whose directors and funders are thousands of miles away. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

The thing which I need folks to understand.... As a family that has navigated the "legal immigration process" - it is almost impossible for there to be no mistakes. The DHS makes errors all the time. Rules change. Paperwork is irregular. It is scary *best of times* with everyone doing their best.

Aha, so the “investigator” who sent people to the gulag because he can’t figure out gang tattoos is a twice fired ex cop who drove his car through someone’s house drunk That tracks

reminder that no one should be getting sent to el salvador. not innocent people, not guilty people, no one. this is unconscionable, and as long as it is tolerated for anyone, will continue to be a threat for everyone.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

My grandmother, great-aunt, great-grandmother, and great-grandfather were all in Manzanar. This isn't ancient history or some kind of unthinkable, far-off ruin. There are real people who are still alive today who were in Manzanar.

props to Blood Over Brighthaven for being a dark academia that is actually really dark and really heavy on the academia

not to state the obvious but the whole thing about electing people is that they then get paid to do the job of making sure shit's okay out there and it frustrates me to NO END that we are all now doing the part-time job of pestering those people to do THEIR jobs when WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN OTHER JOBS

The lesson: this is what bipartisanship with fascists gets you. Fascist do not care about bipartisanship. If you pursue it with them, they will make a fool of you. There is only defiance and opposition. That’s all any decent people want from their leaders anyway. Those who won’t can gtfo.

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

One of the striking things about the Abrego Garcia case is that would be trivially easy for the government to demand his return and give apologists an easy talking point: "Yes, sure, mistakes happen but see, they care about getting it right & doing it legally after all." But nope.

strange women lying in ponds distributing swords starting to look like a reasonable basis for a system of government

So one of my kids? Uses her given name at home, a name she chose at school, at her Hebrew name at Temple school. For her? This is a way she navigates those different spaces with different personas (her words, not mine). The fact that she was able to establish that on her own is important.

Over 650 known cases so far, and most have nothing to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The admin seems to be engaged in a breakneck effort to kick out every foreign student who has had even the most minor interaction with the police possible, including for TRAFFIC CITATIONS and JAYWALKING tickets.

If you've been trying to convince your parents/grandparents/elders to call their senators and reps, this might be a good thing to tip them over the edge. (And find reps' info at: reps.fyi.)

Following up on this. They just banned a Canadian trans musician from getting a visa to tour the US. They're straight up banning trans people from entering the US. www.stereogum.com/2303977/bell...

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

SEPTA is up against a funding cliff 😱 We need transit to function for general functioning of the city (SEPTA is how I get almost everywhere), and also need MORE transit for a sustainable future. Transit for All PA is organizing around this. PA, send this letter! www.transitforallpa.org/takeaction/

help him...! #b3d #art #pokemon

kennedy curse where art thou

weird, what could explain this

ugh I slept like shit and i need a nap but I gotta wake up early tomorrow so that would be a bad idea

Gonna be selling and signing books on Saturday along with Ryan C. Bradley at Curio Mrvosa in Taylor, TX. Everybody please come see us!!

The borg is better organized

In all seriousness, this is why centrist Democrats saying we can just surrender to the right on trans issues to defend other issues, in addition to being grossly unfair to trans people, are wrong in a broader sense. Once you concede that, you've conceded the foundational tenet of today's far-right.

While this horrifying evolution is being depicted as something that would only target undocumented immigrants (which would be terrible in and of itself), it will 100% be weaponized against anyone they don't like. Just like everything else they do.

This is so good and almost has me crying on the train
