If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.

This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

The Tracker documented nearly as many assaults of journalists in 2025 — 170 — as it did in the previous three years combined.

Half of those arrested this year were assaulted by officers in the lead-up to or in the course of being detained.

I mean this seriously, i would like senator Warnock to be president of these United States
Now would be preferred but I’ll accept Monday
Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

it's worth noting 1) that there's a longstanding tradition of trying to play solidarity against basic self-respect and 2) that the Combahee River Collective's coining of the term "identity politics" was directly in response to this
i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.

Workers who engage in racist behavior and speech should be fired, no matter what the bootlickers over at The Atlantic wrote. This is objectively good sense, but not in America in 2025, apparently.

John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett worked on Bush's legal team in this case. so yeah...
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Bear in mind, Indiana is still gerrymandered to hell. But standing up to Trump and his Temu mafia admin is always good.
BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place.

since I've been reliably told On Here that people only read headlines, worth noting that the headline is "Trump’s handling of the economy is at its lowest point in AP-NORC polling" and the overall approval number (which has been in 30s since fall) is declining less steeply *in contrast to economy*
