🚫 It's #CyberMonday & we say to Target, Home Depot & Amazon, #WeAintBuyingIt! We're over corporations that cave to anti-DEI pressure, let ICE terrorize our communities & chase tax breaks while people go hungry.

#Virginia, do you have a favorite local biz? Please share so we can support! 👇

A Gen Z-led advocacy group announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations “that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with ICE.” Beyond the Ballot launched “Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet” just days before Black Friday kicks off.

real ones know there is only one correct way to travel from NYC to DC (Amtrak northeast regional cafe car)
Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?

MAMDANI: I will use every form of transit and I want to make sure they are all affordable in NYC

TRUMP: That's a lot quicker too, in all fairness. I'll stick up for you.

Fifty years after his death, Francisco Franco is being rehabilitated in Spain.

Writing from Extremadura in our spring issue, Troy Nahumko surveys the social and political battles still being waged over the dictatorship, with jarring parallels to Trump’s own war on historical memory:

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Trump regime is working on eliminating NOAA Fisheries, either eliminating its mission responsibilities or moving them to Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service.

Short version: we will drive whales and other endangered species to extinction and our fisheries will collapse.
