CBS’s excuse for why it killed the investigation into CECOT was that it wasn’t original and news-distinctive enough.

I do think that those lawyers and law professors who tried to fabricate a historical or legal case against birthright citizenship should be socially and professionally ostracized for their shocking cynicism and intellectual dishonesty as well as for their bald hostility to pluralist American values.

‘Discriminatory’ Israeli death penalty law would be war crime, says UN rights chief Volker Türk says bill, which applies to Palestinians convicted of terror charges but not Jewish extremists, must be repealed

Just yesterday the Netanyahu govt adopted a law to hang Palestinians who commit certain crimes in the West Bank but not Israeli settlers who commit the same crimes.

Why are we sending a blank check of billions of $ to a govt that pursues these & other blatantly racist policies?

Was looking forward to reading this book. It sounds like Douglass doesn't get a fair hearing.

The Communist and the Caricature: The Missed Opportunity in August Nimtz and Kyle Edwards' "The Communist and the Revolutionary Liberal in the Second American Revolution" Nimtz and Edwards offer caricatures where a fascinating and nuanced reality was available.

Here's an easy job for the next sane administration: Bovino has now openly lied multiple times under oath, an offense which upon conviction per 5 USC 8312 strips defendants of any federal retirement benefits to which they might have been entitled

This is your criminal government, Americans. A rogue bandit state stealing Venezuela's oil, massacring Iranian schoolgirls and now planning to "take" Cuba because Trump says "I can do anything I want with it."
Patriotic Americans must end this madness.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

ICE is killing, lying, and covering for itself.

We must abolish ICE—and we need to make sure that no federal officer can ever kill and hide behind a would-be badge, a mask, or a lawless President and DHS Secretary ever again. That's why I introduced the Deadly Force Independent Review Act.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

Self-crit time: last night I reported on this rally in Chicago, and like I was worried would happen, big liberal accounts have spread its aesthetics but ignored its context. But that's my fault as well

I should have made a few things clearer from the start:

drawing their guns, aiming them at someone who hasn’t even committed a traffic offense, forcibly removing her from her vehicle at gunpoint and throwing her into their vehicle for transport were crimes committed before local police even made a phone call, and should be reported as such imo

Slightly graphic imagery on this one, but let's get it funded, ok?

OPEN LETTER TO THE GUARDIAN Dear Editors, We write in reference to a recent article published in the UK online edition of The Guardian on Friday, 23 January 2026, which carried the following misleading headline: "British crown was world's largest buyer of enslaved people by 1807, book reveals." The article in question, by Chris Osuh, showcases a new book by Dr. Brooke Newman, The Crown's Silence: The Hidden History of Slavery and the British Monarchy (Harper Collins, 2026). But Newman's book is not the original source of that claim. That claim derives from earlier scholarship, the painstaking archival work of a Black historian of Caribbean heritage: the late Roger Norman Buckley. It is unfortunate that the silencing of his original scholarship appears in the profiling of a book advertised as uncovering silences. While it is great to see public attention brought to the history of the Crown's involvement in slavery through the new book and its profiling in The Guardian, the headline compromises The Guardian's efforts to address the legacies of slavery generally and its own institutional links when it extracts and reframes earlier work by a Black scholar as a revelation new to this book. The relevant passage in The Crown's Silence draws on original scholarship by Roger Norman Buckley in Slaves in Red Coats: The British West India Regiments, 1795-1815 (1979). Dr. Brooke Newman repeats Buckley's figures, which she cites (referencing page 55 of Buckley's book, see attached) while changing his "British government" to "Crown." She then converts his careful "perhaps the largest individual buyer" to a more conclusive claim, changing his "British government" to "king" but without citing Buckley for that claim which is on page 56 of his book (see attached) and which, uncited in Newman's book, is the Guardian headline. There is room for popular histories that rely largely on the secondary scholarship of other historians. But other historians have not been silent.

An open letter to @theguardian.com about their article last week about the Crown’s Silence, requesting that the Black scholar of Caribbean heritage who did the years of archival research behind this claim, and published it in 1979, Roger Norman Buckley, be acknowledged as the source of this reveal:

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."
--Homan in February

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
