After Alex Pretti was shot while peacefully witnessing during the immigration crackdown in Minnesota, the US government did not investigate his murder; they investigated groups that were supporting efforts to witness and document, calling them agitators. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

When RFK Jr. was on the campaign trail in 2024, he vowed that if he joined Trump’s team, he would “ban the worst agricultural chemicals.” I have some bad news for the voters who actually believed he'd follow through on this. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Just for the record, and it’s insane that the mad king made me look this up, there is documentation of the US giving up all claim to Greenland to Denmark when we bought the Virgin Islands from them in 1916. history.state.gov/historicaldo...

"Humiliation of their victims, a kind of relish in their fear and misery, a kind of—let’s call it what it is—sadism has become a dominant part of the culture of ICE."

Jesus, man, I didn't say take it at face value, and I didn't say he's a centrist whisperer. I said he's of the centrist/center-right faction. And I'll say I'm worn out by fellow leftists who think we can strategize without studying the spectrum and knowing what others are thinking.

Trump said we were “winning” the trade war with China. Then China threatened to cut off rare earth minerals—and suddenly we backed down. Americans are paying higher prices, no new jobs have been created, and China walked away stronger. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

EPSTEIN FILES: @aoc.bsky.social explains why Republicans won’t bring the U.S. House back into session 👇
jbchuko.bsky.social reposted
The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

"Not a single Democrat has talked about wanting to fund care for people in the United States unlawfully. Instead, what Democrats have said is they want to undo Medicaid cuts projected to leave nearly 10 million Americans uninsured." A smidge different.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...
