If you’re around Portland come hang out with us on Thursday to talk about the evolution of policing and how progressive politics sometimes acts as a cover for law enforcement violence, and how we can erode police power in every neighborhood. But like optimistic and happy, not depressed

We could send him a recipe for an easy clean solution. For the pee. So he can clean the pee.
my unpopular opinion is that we're better off with Kash running the FBI and we should hope he keeps his job as long as Trump does

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.
Your degree costs $120k and the CEO who won't hire you without one got his job through his dad's golf partner.
Do we have pee confirmation

Article header image showing a ranch-style gate opening onto a broad mountain valley at sunrise. A bleached longhorn skull is mounted above the wooden crossbeam, silhouetted against the bright sun and golden clouds. Rolling hills and distant blue-gray mountains stretch across the background, with dark trees in the foreground. Overlaid text reads: “Fortress Yellowstone,” with the subheadline, “The ultra-rich are fortifying themselves inside one of America’s last intact ecosystems—with money plundered from ecological sacrifice zones around the world,” by Joseph Bullington, published April 6, 2026.
“What’s happening now in this part of the world is wealthy people are trying to buy up large swaths of land and turn them into exclusive resorts."
Joseph Bullington reports from Yellowstone.

Graphic from In These Times with the headline, “Is Neoliberalism Making Our Depression and Anxiety Crisis Worse?” and subhead, “How capitalist culture is making us sick.” The byline reads, “By Johann Hari (from 2018).” The background is a surreal illustration in muted blue-green tones showing slumped, human-like figures and small striped figures walking across a bleak, dreamlike landscape.
"Neoliberalism makes us miserable by creating a society designed solely for buyers and sellers."
In 2018, @johannhari101.bsky.social reported capitalist culture is making us sick.

Illustrated cover art in pink and purple tones showing a helmeted police officer in riot gear holding a baton on the left and a bearded street performer on a unicycle playing a horn on the right. The In These Times logo appears near the top, with overlaid text reading, “The Big Idea: Guerrilla Theater” and “By J. Patrick Patterson.”
Alongside protests against raids and deportations, small actions of absurdist disruption can also prove to expose the raw violence of those in power.
@leftiecowboy.bsky.social presents the magic of guerrilla theater in the streets.

Molly and Eman are both contributors at the great @inthesetimes.com. Eman is a regular columnist, and Molly's antifascist artwork is featured on some of the most memorable covers of the magazine over the past year, including our favorite below:
I’m in an airport underlining it too lol
I see some on the left seeing the far-right descent into conspiracy theories ostensibly critical of Israel is a victory. But this is what it actually looks like, and it is the same terror rebranded.

“A warehouse is meant to be an economic hub… Turning it into a jail and housing humans inside is … well, it’s gross. It’s wrong.”

"We need not look to the lowest rungs of U.S. society to see that wars of belligerence are wrong, but perhaps, if we do look there, we can find the beginnings of a working-class coalition that can push back against imperialism, in that estuary where self-interest meets solidarity."
A screenshot of an In These Times article titled “The New Antifascist Consensus,” with the subhead, “How organizers and everyday residents—now activists—are stopping ICE around the country,” by Shane Burley, dated March 23, 2026. Below the headline is a dense collage-style illustration combining black-and-white photos of protesters, memorial posters and police with bright hand-drawn shapes in orange, yellow, blue and green. Signs in the image read “Immigrants Make America Great!!,” “Abolish ICE,” “Justice for Liam Ramos,” and “We Keep Us Safe,” while large memorial posters in the background say “Murdered by ICE.”
People are stopping “King Trump's Private Army” ICE, across the United States, with rapid response, community defense, solidarity and care.

A white Waymo self-driving car sits in the middle of a city street engulfed in flames, with both front doors open and thick black smoke billowing high above it. The car is covered in colorful graffiti, debris is scattered on the pavement, and a small group of people stands in the distance on the right side of the street.
"If you’re going to treat our neighbors as disposable, the burned-to-a-crisp robotaxi says, we’re going to make you pay."
Sarah Jaffe writes that “machine breaking” as a tactic of rebellion is taking on renewed vitality.

Graphic for an In These Times article titled “Capitalism Without Humans” by Sarah Jaffe. Large white text is overlaid on a dark photo of thick smoke and bright orange flames rising behind damaged, graffiti-covered cars. Smaller text reads: “As new technologies (not immigrants) replace human labor, ‘machine breaking’ as a tactic of rebellion is taking on a renewed vitality.” The In These Times logo appears at the bottom.
"The rebellions have, so far, given us two iconic images of resistance. In Portland, we have the inflatable costumes—beginning with the frog & expanding to a whole menagerie. In Los Angeles, the image is that of automated Waymo taxis, put to the torch."

On April 12, 2021, the day after Daunte Wright was killed by police, a vigil was held and police suppressed protests in front of the Brooklyn Center police station. UR was on the scene live streaming.

Absolutely one of the best books of the year
If you haven’t read it yet, here’s my piece about the massive web of anti-ICE organizing around the country built on antifascist principles, mutual aid, and direct action.
The array of attacks on democracy and workers’ rights present an opportunity to expand labor’s power—if unions are willing to seize it.

Black fundraising graphic with large white text at the top reading, “We Need to Raise $50,000 by Friday.” Below are three In These Times magazine covers side by side against a dark background. The left cover is an illustrated protest scene with signs reading “ICE OUT!” and the headline “The New Antifascist Consensus.” The center cover shows a car engulfed in flames and thick black smoke. The right cover is a portrait cover of Zohran Mamdani in a suit, with the headline “Zohran Mamdani and How the Light Gets In.”
This is not a normal moment, and it does not call for timid journalism.
We need to raise $50K by Friday to support reporting on picket lines, in neighborhoods, in the streets, and everywhere people are fighting for each other.
