I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

Gutting. On so many levels.

Rejected headlines for this include: "2 tiny ptarmigan carvings unearthed from prehistoric cave in Germany" and "Two birds, one Stone Age cave." 🧪🏺

A real nightmare scenario here for folks who take a public stand for their queer communities, but also real courage. Jey's old school Science Twitter, and has been using that skillset to organize against gender Lysenkoism. There's a gofundme to help with medical expenses here: gofund.me/ee804efbf

The special services soldier appears not to have understood that insider betting on Polymarket and similar fora is reserved as a privilege for members of the president's family and immediate entourage. abcnews.com/US/doj-arres...

I read a lot of conservative media, and let me just say that this Washpost house editorial is one of the most shameful pieces of unsubstantiated, free-market claptrap that has been published all year, by anyone. Barely a mention of the thousands of deaths caused by US aid cutbacks.

I mean, you don't really need a translator

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

This is a war for Christian nationalism.

This says it all.

Churchill’s “We shall fight on the beaches” speech lasts 36 minutes. Our own speech in the Fund Crisis took 30 minutes. Dr. King at the Lincoln Memorial spoke for 16 minutes. Bobby, after Dr. King’s death, spoke for six minutes.

seems bad

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

An unacceptable violation of the First Amendment by the Trump Administration. And before you even start talking about retaining classified documents lets remember that the most egregious breach by far in recent years was committed by Trump himself.

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote about the simultaneous mainstream media erasure of Renee Good's queerness and the right wing amplification of it as a post hoc justification for her murder. xtramagazine.com/power/activi...

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire. One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched. The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

Imagine an administration killing people simply for blood lust and because they are Brown. Imagine an entire White House and cabinet made up of liars, racists, rapists, child sex predators, thieves, murderers, and genocidal maniacs, some are all of the above. Welcome to the United States.

Ruling Thursday at 10 a.m., Ellis says.

On Halloween, “state-sponsored terror” in Chicago and the north suburbs. A @chicagotribune.com team effort on the feds’ actions on what’s supposed to be a special day for families and children www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/31/c...

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.

Trump sent a teenager in the US legally to a gulag for being Venezuelan www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

My @nehgov.bsky.social grant “In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union” was canceled by “DOGE.” The project doesn’t support "the furtherance of the President's agenda.” Jews surviving genocide: out of step w/ the agenda of using Jews to destroy higher ed.

Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of UC Berkeley Law says he is trying to get a letter signed by other law school deans to call on law firms not to buckle under threats from the Trump administration. He says it has been very hard to get many to sign. (From a conference at UCLA happening now)

To write about the plain facts of the Trump administration is, admittedly, a challenge. It can be hard to write a straight news story about an unlawful administration careening through constitutional boundaries without sounding a bit hysterical. newrepublic.com/post/193002/...

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”

“We don’t know what’s happened to these four dozen New Mexicans. They’ve effectively disappeared. They’re gone,” said Becca Sheff, senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico.
