Why have the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and the impunity for their killlers not been an issue in Dems midterm campaigns? I know there’s no shortage of issues but those were defining atrocities of Trump Two which every Republican owns.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

The really galling part of this era, which will be largely ignored, is that Congress could have stepped in and stopped all of it at any point and chose not to

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

Real talk, all of this right now (in the U.S. anyway) is mostly about the fact that some people eked out the power to say, “no” and some other people lost their entitled minds over it.

I read an article this morning that said “we are mourning in future tense” and that hit hard. Watching everything happen around us in real time is hard enough, but knowing that it’s going to be a long road to hopefully put it all back together is even harder.

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

If you’re in the top .1% and .01%, and you can afford multiple homes, to rent out entire cities, buy multiple companies…believe us when we say you can afford a higher tax bill.

Incredibly glad someone is talking about for-profit prisons. When I had a friend inside, he got too little food, forcing him to supplement from a commissary with money put into his account from folks outside. The prices were astronomical, bleeding funds from inmates' communities. It was appalling.

As you read this account of state terror & maltreatment of a woman snatched arbitrarily from her husband’s side, consider that hers is one of the better briefer such ICE atrocities daily documented & that her husband wished & enabled this hell on countless others. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/u...

"Brent Jindra, a tech salesman, voted for President Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife." Yeah, funny how authoritarianism works out, huh? This couple lives here in Cleveland btw. #ICE #immigrants #greencard

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

These are the armbands with the stars on them in case you didn’t know.

He may be waging an illegal war nobody wanted that’s getting Americans killed while making things more expensive for you and also send his masked secret police to harass your neighbors for no reason, but at least he’s crashing the economy also for no reason

Read it here if you haven't yet. Today is the very best day of all days to read it for the first time. short-stories.co/@raybradbury...

THIS A THOUSAND TIMES. Our immigration system is broken. I’ve seen asylum seekers get court dates 4 years in the future.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

i'm sorry, what exactly is the evidence that hanania is a "former" white supremacist?

Trump is locking immigrants with no criminal record in camps designed to operate “as cheaply and brutally as possible.” They are denied medicine, isolated, and pressured to self-deport. Don’t look away from what this administration is doing.

Have to get serious because this is the thought that has consumed and motivated me for the past 2 and a half years. When Trump/Miller talk about 20/30 million immigrants to deport, and that number reaches 100 million for the real freaks like Bovino, verily I say to you: THIS IS MEIN KAMPF SHIT

you stupid mother fucker (markwayne not eugene) we tricked the entire world into sending their smartest hardest working people here and then tricked those same people into staying permanently instead of going back to their home country you are BLOWING UP OUR SPOT

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

Here's my Lindsey Graham obit. While most people are focused on his late career villian arc, I will never get over his sneering, hysterical defense of an alleged attempted rapist. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

We're gonna hold your hand when we say this: Taxing rich people like us more does not make us poor, or unable to keep investing in our businesses, or create jobs. That's a scare tactic used to keep taxes on the super-rich low and pass along the costs to working people.

I don’t remember if Lindsey Graham or Brett Kavanaugh melted down first, but their back-to-back, angry outbursts are part of the reason Donald Trump didn’t pull the nomination after Christine Blasey Ford came forward.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Daily Memo: ICE Is Detaining People Who Show The “Know Your Rights” Red Cards

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

Some light July 4th reading from @megelison.bsky.social

There are CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the US in the year 2026, and it’s up to all of us to protect our neighbors.

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Been waiting for this story. ICE deports people to Venezuela three times a week, there are likely many more recent deportees with valid asylum claims in the rubble. Hope that GlobalX crew loses some sleep knowing they flew a planeload of shackled men & women, plus seven children, to their deaths.

In case anyone is under the impression that things are getting back to normal here in the U.S., yesterday 🧊 grabbed a fruit seller off the street in broad daylight in my community. This was only one of several kidnappings in the area yesterday. Don’t let the circus distract you from the ongoing harm

Injustice is as American as cherry pie But the outrageous 30-to-100-year sentences for the Prairieland 9 anti-ICE protesters mark a new low in punishing Americans for their ideas Progressives get virtual life sentences. Right-wingers get pardons. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/prai...

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.
