Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

The feminist movement that Steinem did much to mainstream and expand is in retreat, with women’s rights and status eroding conspicuously, and I’d like the usual suspects to consider this before they go on their ahistorical little rants about how she was a CIA stooge or whatever.

ICE’s Camp East Montana is a hellhole. It’s been open less than a year and three people have died there, including the first-ever homicide in ICE detention (allegedly at the hands of guards). Both DHS and Congressional watchdogs have documented extensive problems. Shut it down!
The 84-page report issued jointly Wednesday by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union also says men and women held at Camp East Montana, located at the U.S. Army's Fort Bliss in El Paso, recounted being denied necessary medical care, forced to live in filthy conditions and fed inedible meals. Detainees also said they were prevented from contacting their lawyers or family members.
Of the 71 detainees contacted over a five month period, 64 - about 90% of those interviewed - said they had either personally been assaulted by the staff or had seen others physically abused, according to the report.
