In 1885, white rioters murdered dozens of Chinese residents of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The story of the atrocity is still being unearthed 140 years later.

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed fellow Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as her first choice for New York City mayor.

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

BREAKING: U.S. Sen. Jodi Ernst (R-Iowa), who is up for reelection in 2026, today announced the launch of her campaign under the slogan #LetThemEatJesus.

This morning, Israeli soldiers opened fire near crowds of Palestinians approaching a food distribution site, according to Israeli authorities. The Gaza health ministry reported that at least 27 people were killed and dozens more were wounded in the incident.

The Department of Justice no longer represents the best interests of the American people. Under Bondi, it has been transformed into little more than a cog in the authoritarian machine doing Donald Trump’s bidding. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Another well-qualified Trump appointment.

One thing is clear: teachers are not OK. www.404media.co/teachers-are...

I’m no lawyer, but if I were the MIT commencement speaker who was just accused of “spreading blood libels” by the head of the ADL, I’d sure be contacting one.

Yay, Satan!

I feel safer already.

Holy crap. Wow! 👍🏽😍🖕🏽

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

Oh, c’mon. Did she really say this or this an AI fabrication by the Left to discredit her?

"In the broadest terms, the bill is an enormous upward transfer of wealth — perhaps the largest in history — taking from those with lower incomes and giving to the rich. And in its details there are dozens if not hundreds of blows to the economy." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

And this from Trump's alma mater.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

The best example of the blurring of state & vigilante violence is the masked maybe-uniformed-maybe-not “ICE” officers. Are they ICE? Doesn’t seem to matter. It’s treated as lawful. Please recognize this threat for what it is.

If white South Africans were really getting killed by black people in racial pogroms, shouldn't more of them be trying to gain refugee status here? Dem aides tell me they've pressed the State Department to detail how many have applied to come. No answer yet. newrepublic.com/article/1956...

So true

Republicans blocked my bill to exempt small businesses from Trump’s tariffs. Now he's planning to impose a 50% tariff on EU countries beginning June 1st. Many small businesses have already placed orders for supplies and will be saddled with a big Trump tariff bill. Unacceptable.
