The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

"More than 200" AI slop novels collectively selling "around 50,000 copies" proves that not one of them was actually good enough to create any organic interest. The entire business model is scamming people looking for something fun to read, thereby polluting the same waters where real books are sold.
fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords.

My mom is the only reason I’m on The View.

She’s a fighter — she showed me how to stand up to the bullies.

That's what I've done in the Texas Legislature, and that's exactly what I’ll do in the U.S. Senate.

We rejected great candidates like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris in favor of a deranged narcissist, who promotes Project 2025, which aims to remove civil service protections and bring independent agencies like the DOJ and FBI under direct presidential control.

Major news: Donald Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion taxpayer dollars.

This is the biggest corruption scheme to date.

Why? Guess who represents the IRS: the government Trump runs. He is about to potentially settle for a lot of your money. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1uK...

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

The writing in this article is brilliant, as is this form of resistance. If you need a good laugh, as well as more inspiration from Minnesota, treat yourself to these young people's cleverness (and bravery!) in showing the fragility of fascism.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core.

Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions.

That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.

If you're in Europe and hate how the U.S. president is behaving, please do whatever you can to keep far-right leaders from taking control of your own country. Listen to activists with experience. Vote if you're able. Speak out against racism, transphobia, and genocide. Help stop fascism globally.

The article appears to be partly paywalled and I would encourage anyone who can afford it to subscribe, Slate's got a hell of a sale going right now and subscriptions are how they can afford to pay freelancers for articles like this one
