They’re all just recycling the Jewish Question against Brown people. Concentration camps. Deportations/Expulsions. Copypaste rhetoric. “They’re here, exactly as we are, but they could never truly be one of us.” They don’t even have the decency to come up with a new name, it’s that plagiarized.

This is one of those stories that drives home just how horrifying the current administration and its immigration policies / enforcement tactics are. It’s heartbreaking and stomach turning.

The neo-Nazi party made huge gains in the German elections thanks to the backing of the world‘s biggest billionaire and most prominent publicizer of white nationalist conspiracies on the planet. Good thing there’s no comparable relationship in the US for our media to explore.

my latest: Massachusetts is one of the safest states for trans people—but multiple hospitals preemptively ended youth trans care over Trump admin threats to cut fed funding. on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.

Even in safe-haven Massachusetts, trans care is at risk. Young people are fighting to protect it

Activists are calling on the state attorney general to take action against hospitals that have ended gender-affirming care programs after Trump retook office

I grew up listening to Paul Simon. Short kid with huge dreams listening to short man with huge songs. On this day 40 years ago, 15-year old me bought his first CD with his own money. I’ve never stopped listening. Graceland is one of the most magnificent works of art in any medium

Coverage of the Canada trade war seems to be underselling an important point: Trump tore up NAFTA and made everyone sign a new agreement more to his liking in 2020 with a 16-year renewable term. Now he's tearing up that agreement. If his signature is meaningless why would Canada agree to anything?

Is there a well-regarded discography for Lee “Scratch” Perry, that distinguishes albums and singles he made “intentionally” (solo, collabs, with Upsetters, etc) versus semi-shady releases and such? I’d buy a physical book of such a thing if it existed.

I wrote this because most journalists facing this pressure can’t. The paper we count on to check authoritarianism spiked an investigation into the Democratic Party because the party’s lawyers threatened to sue. Holding authoritarians accountable starts with holding your own side accountable.

M. Gessen on the hell that Kansas is inflicting on trans people is really hard to read, but so necessary. It also shows why the hysteria over trans athletes is so dangerous. Because it creates buy-in from liberals and centrists to demonize trans people, www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/o...

If you have a physical music collection, just go fishing through it once in a while. Have a big ol' rummage, get all your CDs, tapes, vinyl, whatever, out on the floor and just look through em. Bang a few on, read some liner notes, it's just magic, honestly.
