Hot take: the open fuck you energy of 10-1 did better than 9-2 would have. L. Louise Lucas was right. Soft-pedaling it wouldn't have sold, "you're goddamn right we are" did.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

You've already heard me talk about the importance of HCMC--to me, personally, to thousands of people who go there every year, to rural communities whose doctors & nurses & med staff have trained at HCMC. If this is important to you--sign on to the petition. Tell your story about why.

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

Two chained women are inspected before being loaded onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP.

Empty shackles, returning from El Paso, will be brought to Whipple.

The number of people loaded here this week, 67, is the highest since Feb 7-13, when Homan announced the end of Metro Surge.

This makes me so happy!! Congratulations

just one moment of celebration for getting a major donor to move $3 million dollars this week to rent funds

now if only there were more than one generous super-wealthy person and the news hadn’t moved on from this entirely predictable crisis

HCMC — the most important safety net hospital in the Upper Midwest — is on the verge of collapse, while Mayo netted $1.5 billion in profit.

It’s not just a struggling institution, it’s a broken system.

It’s hard to have a conversation about one city’s public school system without an analysis of racism, our nation’s decimation of all public infrastructure broadly, and how collectively deciding something is only good enough for poor people drives mass disinvestment by the middle class.

March 18, 2026 Today, civil rights leader Dolores Huerta issued the following statement:

i am just sobbing for Dolores Huerta. there are so many stories like this from women in the civil rights movement, from AIM, from the Black Panthers, and now from UFW, and it is so brave of her to come forward and share something so painful.

Man, got a little emotional tonight, had to go to an event at Talmage’s school and one of the families I’d been buying groceries for during the ICE occupation was there. It was wonderful seeing them all feeling comfortable enough to be back and participating in the school community.

Mar Espinar criticized Isabel Diaz Ayuso for her alignment with Trump during a government hearing: (English translation in the post) “Cójase al mafioso de su jefe de Gabinete, tire para Mar-a-Lago y déjenos aquí — que somos más de los valientes de Minnesota”

Mar Espinar, Spain’s PSOE deputy, on Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s support for Trump:

“Take your mafioso chief of staff, go to Mar-a-Lago, and leave us here — because we are more like the brave ones from Minnesota”

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.
