"Anger is real, and so is resolve."
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
Follow the money. There are millions of dollars to be made--our tax $$ go right into the pockets of GEO and Core Civic. The more people they imprison, for more days, the more money they make. They donate to Trump.
CNN put together a video illustrating that while Trump regime officials keep describing the Iran strikes as a "war," Republican members of Congress are using all sorts of euphemisms
The reason they’re called human rights is all human beings have them. If you’re talking about the supposed exclusive rights of the herrenvolk you should use another term or just switch to German entirely.
This is how war criminals talk.
Honestly I gotta hand it to Trump. If someone had told me they had a plan to get 23% of the GOP to support abolishing ICE I would have called them a liar.
Any democrat who isn't all in on this is either deeply committed to cruelty or has the political instincts of a half-baked potato.
Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”
Thank you
Is there a Mirabelli order? I thought I saw someone say so but there's nothing on the docket
Some local reporting background from @amelianews.bsky.social on the West Virginia jails at issue from earlier this month: westvirginiawatch.com/2026/02/05/a...
Iranian authorities and Red Crescent Society officials report that more than 100 people, most of them girls, were killed at a primary school during joint U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.
Let’s be clear: Slaughtering children in a school is an atrocity and a war crime.

As always, our politics desks get right to the heart of the matter:
What’s the partisan split on an illegal war with no clear objectives that killed children on its opening day?
And good photo choice too: white guy in a suit definitely coveys the horrors and risks of what we now face.
Really worthwhile project about a justice who *must* be reelected this year if democracy will ever be restored in North Carolina.
I am beyond proud to be a part of the team that drafted this amicus for the Korematsu Ctr & other nonprofits/race & law ctrs in the birthright citizenship case. In it, we tell the stories of the concrete harms when the government has stripped citizenship in the past and the retroactive risks now.
the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.
Thanks, will delete
The pileup of blatantly unlawful conduct by the government in this case is astonishing, as is the fact that the Supreme Court allowed the govt to go forward with this program in a shadow docket ruling
BRING THEM ALL DOWN
#MeToo
shame is back on the menu boys
Bring them all down.
Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III
Highly recommend this interview with Carlos Dada, whose work at El Faro should be a model and inspiration for independent journalists everywhere.

Tariffs!
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
The DOJ has expressly suggested otherwise in court.
Reality doesn’t live here anymore.

“This decision is an important step toward upholding what fear tried to destroy: the right to speak for peace and justice,” as Mohsen said today.
I’m honored to call Mohsen a friend, and I can’t wait to congratulate him on the day he becomes a U.S. citizen.
