Nice reporting here from @404media.co. And thanks to the @waybackmachine.bsky.social you can still see the study that the Trump Admin tried to remove. Link below.
The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.
Brian Kilmeade deserves praise for his apology.
Brian Kilmeade apologized for his comments about homeless people getting lethal injections this morning on Fox & Friends, saying "so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion."

I actually believe that it’s a failure to commit to these issues that makes it so dems continue to lose, not that these are losing issues. They lose because they insist on being off-brand republicans.
“Trans dignity is a losing issue for Democrats, Palestine freedom is a losing issue, the dignity of the homeless and immigrants is a losing issue.”
I do not fucking care! Fight for it anyway or give up. What else are we fighting for if not?

ISRAELI IS STARVING CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN GAZA TO DEATH
Anyone who has ever said the Holocaust was disgusting should be objecting to this. Loudly.
There are food trucks, waiting to deliver relief. Israel won't let them in.

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word.
The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis.

Take It Down Act is a total censorial mess. And yet, a ton of "progressive" Dems are supporting it, even as it will enable the highly politicized and weaponized FTC to go after websites and demand content be removed from the internet. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/28/c...

the only approach to trump that has ever made sense was “slow him down as much as possible while rallying public support to your cause” and while most politicians, pundits, and big law partners don’t get this, some do, and lawyers in particular have the tools to act on that understanding
in the spirit of self-crit: in past years I have certainly been among those who have been vocally skeptical of the role of law and lawyers in meaningfully constraining armed agents of the state. but I do think we have to hand it to lawyers at this time
