A politician who embodies many of the impulses of actual communist leaders denounced New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
No, Zohran Mamdani Isn’t a Communist
Trump tries to smear the NYC mayoral candidate. But it’s Trump himself who uses Communist tactics.

HUGE. The 5th Circuit joins many other federal courts in holding that Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was unlawful.
The judges emphasize that the law is fundamentally about *war* and about military actions; not illegal immigration or drug trafficking.

What the actual f*ck?
Days after reuniting with his family, the Trump administration has once again detained Kilmar Ábrego García and now plans to deport him to Uganda — a country he has zero connection to — as retaliation for not accepting the government's plea deal.
This vindictive cruelty must end.

Please read my essay. It’s for all sexual violence survivors.
"I understand why women are afraid to come forward. I didn’t call the cops on my rapist & I’ve never named him publicly. It’s sure not because I’m protecting him. I’m protecting myself. Nobody would've believed this trailer-park girl vs that Big Man On Campus," @donnerkay.bsky.social writes.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors.
Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher.
