The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

the new york times treats a university administrator committing plagiarism with 100 times as much urgency as a republican administration enacting policies which will kill tens of millions of people

“The role of the Court as that high and public forum of Constitutional interpretation remains essential. And for those of us to the left of Sean Hannity, we understand that we will never face an honest tribunal before the six Republicans on the Court.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

What badass investigative reporter is going undercover with one of these ICE goon squads? This is, like, THE story right now. Who trains? What rules of engagement? What propaganda do they consume? How do they recruit, and weed out non-sadists? Would they follow orders to shoot regime enemies?

I'd be going to jail. ... ICE tried this at my parish in San Jose 20 years ago. I had the SJPD there in 5 minutes to escort them from the property. But I don't know if LE in San Bernardino would support the rule of law.

When you purport to sell privilege, you advertise the wares.

Incredibly important. Harvard is about to fail the Lando test, opening itself, the rest of higher education, and all of civil society up to further illegal and unconstitutional authoritarian exertion. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

See my last.

I’m losing the capacity for words to describe this. Disgrace. Shame. Dishonor.

Charles Dickens himself would not write villains as dastardly as the ones running the United States

This is how you do it. Ride or die. No apologies.

gillibrand really comes out looking like one of the biggest pieces of shit in american politics here, having repudiated literally every good thing she has ever done in her career over the past six months

the mamdani rat fucking is going to be insane and it's basically your job to be a rabid partisan lmao

absofuckinglutely. he's the nominee. he's your guy now even if he wasn't this morning.

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

We feed you. They hunt us.

Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger are murderers.

Per Scott McFarlane: Multiple Jan 6 defendants have filed legal motions asking that the legally-required Jan 6 honorary plaque at US Capitol also include ... a "recognition" of the "experiences" of the Jan 6 defendants Y'all see this ish???

This is so horrible.

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

Really helpful thread.

The name "Tibet" is widely associated with Tibetans' struggle for freedom under the CCP's colonial occupation. Beijing wants to rename Tibet to change how the world thinks about the region, but also to strip the Tibetan people of their identity. www.journalofdemocra...

Donald Trump, a weak and dangerously reckless president, has put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Seeing a lot of discussion of what the War Powers Resolution does and does not permit. As always, the Congressional Research Service provides essential reading. www.congress.gov/crs_external...

It would change so many things for the better

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

grimly funny seeing governors post on here that "in light of the recent news, we're double-checking that there's not a terror threat to our state." Sure, okay, but the threat to peace and prosperity is the continued rule by the Trump administration, everything else is second order at best.
