Black lung is back. The asbestos ban is being reconsidered. My father died from asbestosis—slowly, painfully. We knew this was deadly decades ago. I hate these crooked, money-grubbing, cruel motherfuckers with all my heart. Free article to read and share: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/w...

I’m so excited to announce that my book was published today! The book retells the life of Charles Sumner, an abolitionist senator who co-framed the Reconstruction Amendments. I wrote this book with my blood, sweat & tears as a student at Yale Law School. (1/x)

Yet another security breach that put American troops and lives at risk. Pete Hegseth has no business serving as Defense Secretary. Donald Trump must fire him.

How many times does Pete Hegseth need to leak classified intelligence before Donald Trump and Republicans understand that he isn’t only a f*cking liar, he is a threat to our national security?

submitted 68 days ago • 95 comments

The details keep coming out. We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk. But Trump is still too weak to fire him. Pete Hegseth must be fired.

Hey Republicans in the House a d Senste, I BLAME YOU!!! We expected this from Trump. Your failures to do your jobs, provide oversight, and stop this debacle from happening was a choice and a testament to your weakness. Republicans, you own the financial destruction happening in America.

The culling of the federal workforce we're seeing is not about revenge against those who have been fired necessarily; it's a warning to those who are still there, like the heads on pikes that ancient hordes used to plant to tell the villagers to stay in line. From me: prospect.org/labor/2025-0...

On 2/8/68, police fired into a crowd of unarmed student protesters in Orangeburg, S.C. At least 27 were injured, and 3 ppl were killed: Samuel Hammond Jr., Delano Middleton, and Henry Smith. I think most ppl are familiar w/ the Kent State Massacre, but not this one. The difference? Skin color.
