This #BlackHistoryMonth it’s important to remember that Black history is part of many of our tribes’ histories too. For Cherokee Nation, we cannot tell an accurate history of our tribe without Black history.

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life

billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

As someone who has had to discover that you can have fun at exercise even though you're very bad at it as an adult, I really feel this.

This story also involved the funniest quote I’ve ever gotten in an interview.

The Mom-and-Pop Contractors Helping ICE Rapidly Expand Even as ICE sparks rising public horror with its tactics and killings, a raft of companies that have never before worked with the federal government are signing up to work with the agency.

ICE is so awash with money that they are throwing money around at no-bid contracts with companies with no experience.

Shows how corrupt it all is, and how some companies lack any moral core.

trying to think of a more unsettling thing a dog owner could say than "oh, that's my CZECHOSLOVAKIAN WOLFDOG, named NAZGUL"

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

can we get to 250? 😈

Author & organizer Kelly Hayes: “…I encountered someone who said that explaining to people why the hats ‘weren't helpful’ was ‘exhausting.’ Friends, if this is how you are exhausting yourselves, you aren't doing the movement any favors. I am tired, too, but more fruitfully so…” kellyhayes.org

This morning at @propublica.org, we published a pair of stories about the children held at the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. www.propublica.org/article/life...

it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Rev Michael Woolf of Evanston IL, who led protests at the Broadview ICE facility BEFORE 2025.

“Sermon on CNN… My faith tells me that what we do or withhold from the most vulnerable in our midst, we do or withhold from God. The only real question is, WOULD YOU LET THEM DEPORT JESUS?” [my emphasis]

In a sane world, the decision by Rufo, Vance, & co. to slander and slap a target on the traumatized, hardworking immigrants who revitalized a rust belt city -- and who *were invited* to that city -- would be a stain on their careers that they never live down.

They should be reminded of it. Often.

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

This is my thing, yes criticize Dems and call them. But run your Republican Congress critters ragged right now. Make it impossible for them to have a moment of peace.

I don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"

But also, this may be one of the best conflict-of-interest statements ever?

And Hanania's bad take on American Beauty reminded me of when I argued that 16-year-old Juno wasn't seducing/flirting with Jason Bateman and that as the fully-grown adult, he had a responsibility to deflect any inappropriate interest. Jennifer Garner was justified in leaving her creepy husband.
