near illiberalism. I used to be a lawyer. I still am one, but I also used to be one. better things are in fact possible. The most effective liberals have been those forced to compromise with leftists, not those left to compromise with conservatives.

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

That’s it. I’m forwarding these guys my unsubscribe confirmation from 2009.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Public options are key for solving the affordability crisis, an essential ingredient of antifascist economic policy. @avilewis.ca is bringing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.socials winning playbook to Canada. It’s a global movement. The NDP could play an important part.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny
These kids are traumatized
It was warrantless and no ID was shown.
