Trump Is Asking the Supreme Court For More Help With His Anti-Immigrant Agenda Green card holders enjoy broad protections from removal under federal law. The administration is looking for ways around it.

Hegseth is determined to send the military back to the Disease Era (1775-1918) when illness killed more soldiers than enemy fire. RFK Jr. will be standing by with raw milk to nurse them back to death.

Bad news. I can smell the wind off that arm thrust and… it ain’t good.

This, too, occurred.

““Thank God we’re alive! What they did to us was very cruel,” said Palacios, who alleged that the US personnel never attempted to explain or justify the attack.

“They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities told us things had been handled very badly.””

Academia can be petty as fuck, you don't respond by helping fascists

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

FBI Director Kash Patel sued the Atlantic & a reporter for defamation, alleging they recklessly disregarded truth in suggesting FBI officials are concerned his drinking compromises his ability to do his job. Here’s the breakdown you need to understand the complaint. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

✊ So begins the largest veteran and military family act of civil disobedience since the Iraq war began, occupying the Cannon building Rotunda - protesting yet another forever war with Iran. Info below @gregjstoker.bsky.social

This is a war based on lies

It’s important to remember that the goal of lawsuits like the one brought by Kash Patel against the Atlantic isn’t to win, it’s to cost the Atlantic as much money as possible only to drop the suit before discovery, and as red meat for the MAGA base by simply filing it.

It's National Library Week. ❤️ That's it, that's the post.

I actually recall a childhood grilled cheese at a friend’s house that rocked my world, and YEARS later, I realized it was probably made with Velveeta. Cheddar? Nope. American? Definitely not. That taste was good o’ Velveeta.

Did you check the trash?
I kid. I kid. I’m sorry. (Kinda.)

That’s exactly why they say these things. They want to immediately disqualify anyone who can compete with them and doesn’t look just like them.

These people are emotionally reliant on declaring most of the world to be subhuman according to standards only they benefit from. They need it like fish need water.

Title page of our paper, “The Politics of Black Classification: Sociopolitical Cues and Racial Perception,” with Lauren Davenport (Stanford) and Hunter Rendleman (UC Berkeley), dated April 14, 2026. Abstract: What makes someone Black in American society today? From Donald Trump questioning Kamala Harris’s racial identity to Joe Biden’s claim that hesitant Black voters “ain’t Black,” American politics frequently brings questions of racial authenticity and belonging to the surface. Yet political science often approaches race as a fixed attribute rather than a social construction. Here, we seek to understand how Americans define blackness in social and political life. Using a conjoint experiment with a racially diverse sample that includes Black, white, and mixed race Black-white respondents, we evaluate how ascribed and acquired traits influence perceptions of blackness. The results show that inherited characteristics—particularly parentage and skin tone, which are the strongest determinants of racial classification—play a central role, while sociopolitical cues such as partisanship, neighborhood context, and spousal race also influence racial classification. Using a continuous measure, we also show that respondents make graded assessments of blackness rather than purely binary classifications, with some individuals perceived as more Black than others. Black respondents are more likely than white respondents to classify a broader set of profiles as Black, consistent with a more inclusive understanding of racial membership, yet they also place greater emphasis on shared political identity. These findings clarify how racial categories are socially constructed and why that construction carries real political and social consequences.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.
