He's less free to say trans women are women (just like the rest of us). He's less free to say Free Palestine (just like the rest of us). He's less free to advocate diversity in his workplace (just like the rest of us). But he can't imagine wanting to use his speech for that in the first place.

Things get clear once you realize support for slavery in the United States never ended. It simply lost a war in 1865 and went underground.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Last weekend in Chicago, 1500 historians gathered for the Organization of American Historians' conference where leading scholars discussed little things like, oh, the fate of democracy. I guess if we add some horny Nazis next year maybe CNN will come out and listen to what we have to say?

If your client or loved one has been disappeared by the US gov, whether to Guantánamo, a Salvadoran gulag, or some other incomunicado/unregistered ICE or CBP facility, I urge you to report it to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (thread): www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act included mobs, but increasingly came to include open defiance by state governments. Personal liberty laws. State court habeas writs. Officials assisting and shielding people. Federal courts ignored. Frankly a kind of anti-slavery nullification and interposition.

This is happening in spite of the fact that the president is not in charge of the Smithsonian. It's not an executive branch government agency, rather it's chartered by Congress and under a board of regents created by statute, none of whom are even appointed by the president.

Although the scale of fascist behavior we've seen is new in scale and scope (which is frightening), I've also been frustrated at how discussions of fascism treat it as if it's something foreign to the US, rather than a constant part of US tradition.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Trump once said, “You’re not gonna have to vote anymore.” Now the GOP is working overtime to make that real. The SAVE Act is voter suppression—forcing millions to show birth certificates or passports just to register. Yes, even if you already have a REAL ID. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/04/01/o...

Under Republicans’ SAVE Act, your driver’s license won’t be enough to vote. You’ll need: 1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130 OR 2. A birth certificate with your current legal name, which nearly 70 million married women lack OR

The anti-voter SAVE Act just passed in the House of Representatives. Their motives are clear: the GOP wants to disenfranchise millions of Americans by putting up roadblocks to the ballot box. I will be leading the charge to stop this in the Senate.

Here's another bit of good news: the House does not have the votes to pass the Senate's magic math budget and has canceled the vote for the night. Again: they can't move on with reconciliation and cut Medicaid and SNAP until the Senate and the House get on the same page with this.
