a cool and healthy thing I do for hours a day now is look down at my sleeping child, feel bottomless joy, and then look five degrees to the right at the real time updating "US' Descent Deeper into Hell" live stream on my phone

Hey, Supposed Christians,
Any city you live in should be a sanctuary city. The whole effin’ point of Jesus’ teachings was to love the poor, the sick, the hungry, the foreigner.
You can’t celebrate or abide violence against the least of these and still try to claim you’re a Christian.
Choose.

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

If you have an unread copy of Let This Radicalize You lying around, this would be an excellent time to read Chapter 6: “Violence” in Social Movements. It's also a good time to share that chapter with others.

Stephen Miller is the one I’ve struggled the most to explain to Alice when she’s like “which one is that”
“architect of all the most evil anti-immigrant schemes”, sure, but like how do you really encapsulate that level of sentient toxic waste for brains and JV Cryptkeeper visage in mere words

The entire shit show in LA has Stephen Miller's grubby fingerprints all over it. And it's important to remember that Stephen Miller is, first and foremost, a fucking idiot.

The scene in LA today of masked secret police arresting law abiding humans at work and firing “non-lethal” rounds and tear gas into citizens trying to protect them is like something out of a dystopian nightmare.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

This. Authoritarians win by creating an atmosphere of hopelessness in order to preemptively suppress mass actions that could effectively challenge their power. Every single public act of defiance plays a critical role in stopping them.
I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days.
At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months.

RIP U.S. Department of Education. Education Secretary Linda McMahon introduced herself to department employees with an email calling on them to join her in a “historic final mission” to downsize the agency and shift control to the states.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

One of the many reasons we did a #nationalparks trip last summer was bc we (unlike many of their supporters) read the diabolical plans this administration had for them-listed plainly in #project2025. What a heartbreak to still see it beginning. When they tell you who they are, believe them

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
