You might think a nominally centrist govt, faced with an impending fascist capture of the machinery of state, would be doing *everything* to impede their ability to pursue fash policies in power. Instead, Lab has been est mechanisms & norms that Reform will be able to immediately exploit & build on

This horrific epistemological practice has both proven almost impossible to dislodge, even as it’s resulted in press being utterly humiliated by liars again and again.

It has also arguably led to the collapse of liberal democracy and the rise of fascism.

It seems like they should stop doing it!

I think the media want to find some secret to unlock here precisely BECAUSE the footage is so straightforward. It shows us clearly what DHS has become. And it leads them to a conclusion that they dare not take: there is only side of the story here in Minneapolis, and a monstrous, powerful villain

Also, leave it to Trump to engineer a Katrina-scale political crisis completely out of thin air within a year of taking office, rising out of nothing more than mind-boggling policy choices and a complete inability to avoid putting huge quantities of firearms in the hands of America’s worst people

New Poll: Voters Prefer Democratic Candidates Approach To Trans Rights Over Republicans A new poll, which surveys voters who will partake in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races, found that voters were not impressed with Republican anti-trans positions.

wait, are you telling me that all the centrist pundits who insisted that Dems wouldn't win any future elections unless/until they threw trans people under the bus turned out to be wrong? how could this be?!? 😱

Emergency funds to foods banks aren’t sufficient — these people are employed and caregivers they can’t afford to stand on long food lines. The way aid is delivered is just as important as the cash itself in terms of who is able to benefit

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

It does kind of make you wonder what would have happened if the Biden administration had just forgiven all that student loan debt after district courts blocked the loan forgiveness plan.

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.

This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

A line graph depicting cumulative grant funding by the National Science Foundation from 1990 to 2025, with funding amounts on the vertical axis and timeline indicators on the horizontal axis. The graph highlights funding trends over the years, with a specific emphasis on Biden’s term and this year (which is the lowest).

Here’s how Trump’s war on science is going. NSF funding is at the lowest level in decades. We’ll lose knowledge, generations of scientists, and US competitiveness.

In the MAGA imagination, America is simultaneously threatened by outsiders – immigrants, invaders who are “poisoning the blood” of the nation, as Trump has put it – and by the “enemy within.” The core promise of Trumpism is to purge those inherently connected “threats.”

Utterly terrifying.

Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging An emergency order removes protections covering over half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as the president aims to boost timber production.

Yes, because what's holding the US back from greatness is our lack of "wood independence". 🙄

Logging these >100 year old trees will be disastrous for climate.

🚨 SCOOP 🚨

DHS is asking IRS to locate **7 MILLION** suspected undocumented immigrants using confidential tax records.

It’s a massive escalation by DHS to use the tax system for mass deportation.

IRS officials are aghast, say it’s likely illegal.
