I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

This cash windfall won’t go primarily toward yachts and private jets, but toward political campaigns and lobbying orgs dedicated to blocking climate policy and fueling authoritarianism

Wow it’s crazy they just did that shit out of nowhere

The idea that (white) American farmers and ranchers are the "true volk" while cities are a sore on the body politic, filled with greedy merchants and mobs of laborers, is the foundational, racist blood-and-soil myth of America that still pervades all of society including mainstream media.

Screenshot of a heavily redacted FBI document dated April 26, 2018, titled about “Dallas Workers Front” and “Dallas Antifa.” Visible lines state, “There are no identified criminal violations or threats to national security warranting further investigative activity” and “No potential criminal violations or priority threats to national security warranting further investigation were identified.” A caption below reads that FBI records obtained by Type Investigations and In These Times through a Freedom of Information Act request contradict the government’s claim that antifa poses an existential threat to national security.

"As of 2018, [the FBI] did not view antifa as a criminal threat."

My quick dispatch from Houston's annual Big Oil confab!

Fortress America Is Now Our Main Climate Policy The US spends trillions not to prevent climate catastrophe but to crack down on climate refugees and prepare for climate conflicts.

While the Trump admin is scrubbing official mentions of climate change, its wars abroad and ICE occupations at home are, in fact, climate policies: They’re showcasing how the US state is orienting itself toward displacement, hardship, and the very idea of global cooperation toward a shared end.

Fossil fuel hegemony was always going to end. It might have ended intentionally, in a way that benefitted workers and the climate. That would have been climate justice.

That it will meet its fate on the backdrop of a war-induced global energy crisis is a choice. Our leaders chose climate barbarism.

Even if the war stopped today, supplies will be disrupted for months. If it continues on a few more weeks, supplies will be disrupted for years. If it lasts for months, we can mark this as the end of fossil fuel hegemony in energy markets. In the meantime, millions will starve.

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

RFK Jr. fired all of the legitimate scientific experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replaced them with unqualified political appointees.

A judge just ruled that the new members were not appropriately appointed, so ACIP cannot meet this week to spread more misinformation.

the end of the Alex Jones program is a silver lining in an otherwise abysmal time

The federal government now has a legal precedent framing activists as domestic terrorists for what was once ordinary First Amendment activity.

My heart hurts for DFW today.

Sorry I didn’t know you could say something as outrageous as “where are the student protests now” when you crushed and derided the students for protesting and fighting to prevent catastrophic, apocalyptic violence against civilians, because they knew what this would unleash. They were so brave.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."

That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year:
-1.4 million people on Medicaid
-19 million kids getting free school lunches
-1.4 million people getting affordable housing
-1.1 million hungry seniors fed
-0.8 million children given free child care

DHS terminates Camp East Montana operations contract, hires new provider The Department of Homeland Security terminated the contract for Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, hiring a new provider to improve conditions.

ICE confirms that the infamous Camp East Montana will NOT be shut down. Instead, they're giving the contract wholly to Amentum, previously the subcontractor for Acquisition Logistics, the tiny VA military contractor which inexplicably got a $1.2 billion contract.

NEW POLL: Most Americans Believe Trump Launched Iran War to Cover Up Epstein Scandal An exclusive Drop Site/Zeteo/Data For Progress survey also finds likely American voters are split on whether Trump is more responsive to the American people or to Israel.

New poll shows most Americans believe Trump was at least partly motivated to launch the Iran war to distract from Epstein.

The poll also remarkably finds the public *completely split* on whether Trump is more responsive to the American people or Israel.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

A scanned image of the first page of a legal document on letterhead from Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, dated February 27, 2026. It is labeled "Opinion No. KP-0518" and addressed to Mr. Darrel D. Spinks, Executive Director of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. A portion of the first paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "mental health care providers" licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council."

A scanned image of the second page of the Attorney General Opinion document. A section in the first full paragraph is highlighted in yellow, which reads: "[f]or the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex."

A scanned image of the third page of the Attorney General Opinion document. The text discusses various statutory and dictionary definitions of the terms "health care provider" and "health care". There are no highlighted sections on this page.

A scanned image of the seventh and final page of the Attorney General Opinion document, showing the "SUMMARY" section and the signature block for Ken Paxton. The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a “health care provider” in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a child’s sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

From Iran to Venezuela to New York, Trump wants to control the world's oil Forget Saudi Arabia. Trump is making America the world's most dominant petrostate.

This is a war almost 40 years in the making.

Trump said in *1987* that the US should attack "horrible, horrible" Iran, "and take over some of their oil." In the years since, Trump talked about seizing oil from Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Libya.

The ‘Antifa Scare’ Goes on Trial in North Texas As nine of the "Prairieland 19" face their days in court, the broader constitutional rights of left-wing activists may hang in the balance.

“Right now, we’re seeing our rights trampled on around the country. Depending on how this case turns out, some precedents could be set that will haunt us for decades to come.” @stevanzetti.bsky.social on the new red(/black?) scare: www.texasobserver.org/antifa-scare...

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Omg! Local San Antonio news is at a protest in Dilley, Texas at the Family Prison where Liam Ramos is being held.

Y'all I'm crying so hard. These young people are so brave. I'm guessing most are from San Antonio.

Absolutely clear video proof that the cops were the only violent actors here.
