Instead of talking about how much money this disreputable dork has, we should be talking about all the children this white supremacist starved to death in Africa because he didn't think dark-skinned people deserved money from the US government—even though he's taken billions.

for a hot minute, trump's iran war was supposedly about his concern for the safety of the iranian people, and particularly iran's dissidents and activists. now he's deporting (to central african republic, for some reason??) iranian women who fled here: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...

Iran's team arrived in Mexico wearing "168" pins. 168 is the number of Iranian schoolgirls the United States killed on February 28, 2026. Apparently, they are playing *on* the field, but not off.

Ok. For today's #CaribbeanHeritageMonth thread, I'm going to talk about food! Let's start with my fave meal and 🇯🇲's national dish, ackee and saltfish. As the headline of this piece I wrote says, this meal is actually an immigrant to the island: www.saveur.com/ackee-saltfi...

Jamaica’s National Dish Is an Immigrant to Its Own Shores
Ackee and saltfish, Jamaica's national dish, is made with fruit from Ghana and salt cod from Nova Scotia. So how'd it get to the Caribbean?

You don't have to overturn Citizens United to beat it. Corporations only exist because states charter them, so a state can decide spending in elections isn't a power they wield. Not regulation, redefinition. Hawaii made it law. Montana's gathering signatures. More states are watching.

Everyone outside those rallies knows it’s spelled with a b.
Screenshot of an X post from @HQNewsNow quoting Trump at a rally explaining that "Blue means Dumocrat" - spelling Democrat without the first E - and noting that a lot of people don't know the word "dumb" has a B in it. The post includes a video still of Trump speaking at a rally podium bearing the Presidential seal, with a crowd behind him and a chyron directing viewers to text "POTUS" to 45470 for White House updates.

Tribal law enforcement aren’t able to request the same support from U.S. Marshals that local and state police can access to search for fugitives or missing children. If we can change that, we can help combat the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

We need at some point to talk about the hyper-aggressive effort the American & international right is making to seduce Jews into abandoning progressive causes, and how the progressive camp is COMPLETELY failing to assuage or soothe Jews - that in fact some see driving them out as a victory.
