just met the most hyped baby boomer I’ve ever experienced at the bus stop – a self-proclaimed karaoke local legend of the Hamptons who women are constantly wanting to hookup with because he is so good at karaoke. He is also Episcopalian.

Columbia’s leadership has managed to make the wrong decision at every single point here
Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

How many more examples before people understand that transphobia is violence
We've updated our story on the alleged Minnesota shooter to include details from anti-abortion and anti-trans sermons he gave in 2023.
The alleged Minnesota shooter runs a security company and has links to an evangelical mission; the website of his ministry says he once "sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel." www.wired.com/story/shooti...

Rep. LaMonica McIver being charged by Trump’s DOJ for “assaulting” a cop is particularly scary because it was all on camera with many witnesses and the administration feels comfortable enough to straight up lie with impunity and target a sitting congresswoman

A recent book on Hitler’s rise to power examines how a country with a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery handed absolute power over to someone whom the conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following.

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month.
He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵

Jewish classmates of Mohsen Mahdawi speak out—
One, an IDF refuser, recalls how Mohsen met with Zionists, including those cruel to him—or how, while seeking to heal campus, he even expressed sympathy for administrators (the same who ignored his pleas for help).
