For the MAGA base, Antifa provides an all purpose excuse for misconduct. Star MAGA streamer Matt Tardio allegedly tried to force a fan back to his hotel room for sex. Cops wanted a kidnapping charge. But Tardio had an explanation: antifa gave him a laced joint that made him act crazy

After staffing cuts at BIE and BIE-run schools, the Trump administration is now moving Indian education programs and staff out of the Department of Education, again without Tribal consultation. Decisions about Native education should not be made while shutting Tribal Nations out. buff.ly/ahqsztZ

This is somehow still going, and it’s not just a few random families now; it’s also a former mayor of NYC and governor of New York. There is, again, no way to reason to argue Mamdani shouldn’t attend this commemoration that isn’t fundamentally bigoted

It’s 25 years since 9/11 and it’s now more publicly acceptable to be a bigot than it was then, which is really saying something

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

When 3M scientist Kris Hansen discovered that a chemical the company produced was in the blood of the general public, her bosses questioned her work. Yet all along, some people inside the company had known the same thing. Listen to this excerpt:

The AI slop app “Talkie AI” illegally stole my voice & MANY coworkers’ voices, and is actively profiting off of our stolen work. Good news is the App Store banned em! Bad news is Google Play hasn’t replied to a single DCMA takedown request. If you use this app, please stop now. It’s harming us. 💔

Superheroes are popular because they make children believe someone cool and flashy will swoop in and save the day. Adulthood is knowing that's not going to happen, we all have to face the struggle, protect our communities, and create the justice we’re waiting for and that the children deserve.

Another day in which House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are actively engaged in destroying the United States by refusing to hold the president accountable for his malfeasance in office.

Republicans' largest donor (by far) is hosting a robust debate on his platform about whether Jews are white. Corporate Media will ask precisely 0 Republicans about their largest donor's all-consuming misogyny, xenophobia, antisemitism, he will instead by referred to as a visionary industrialist.
