WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Sign the petition to demand Mahmoud Khalil be immediately released and threats against his legal status be dropped! And call on members of Congress and university leaders to protect and defend the right for students to organize and protest. sign.moveon.org/petitions/fr...

I've become Arya Stark, repeating a list of names of powerful people I want to see brought low. I don't want to kill them, but I want to see them politically and culturally dead. Trump, Vance, Bondi, Miller, Homan, Johnson (both of them), Noem, Vought, Hegseth...

the most influential donor in gop politics leads an apocalyptic babymaking cult and democratic consultants dont think we should call them "weird."

Let’s be clear - they’re not just deleting DEI policies and code words, they’re deleting actual people of color and women. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

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.

This is the sort of thing that is featured in movies to show that the state and its minions are evil.

First weekend of the Coachella Valley Carrot Festival is a wrap, one more to go.

Why can't Democratic leadership speak this directly and powerfully? It's getting better, to be sure, but sweet Jesus they are taking their sweet time getting to half of what we hear here.

Now over 1,000 student visa revocations by Rubio. www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

That the Federal budget is a cesspool of fraud and waste is one of the most persistent and powerful myths of American reactionary politics. At the heart of this myth is the belief that spending on social democracy is inherently fraudulent. That myth has spawned a MAGA monster, a vicious one.

Shits about to hit the fan

Better to build a politics around shared interests and values than identity. I'm a gay white cis man but I have more in common with Jamelle Bouie or Matt McManus than with Caitlyn Jenner or Rob Smith. I get the need for safe spaces but have no interest in policing them.

American citizens who support anti-genocide protesters are not safe.

I am completely confused by the discussion of 'cringe' in regards to politics. People who dedicate themselves to revolution, reform, or reaction are cringe (nerdy, a little monomaniacal, odd habits). Have you been around organizers and stalwarts? Girl, cringe does not begin to capture it.

It's not manufacturing jobs you want, it's a stable job with a middle-class wage, retirement, affordable health insurance, and worker protections that you want. Which isn't naturally tied to factory jobs, but it is naturally tied to union organizing.
