They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

"While supremacist beliefs regularly appear with such intersections of multiple dehumanizing and conspiracist ideologies, coverage often appears to struggle with this, focusing on one ideological strand and neglecting the other elements of the belief system."

As extreme politics have normalized, young people have grown up not knowing any other way. For months, I've spent time getting to know 10 college students who literally do not recall a time in America without Trump. My latest for @thewesternedge.bsky.social www.thewesternedge.media/p/the-age-of...

Obviously, the goal here is to end Head Start and eventually, all child care. The GOP is utterly radicalized against women working outside of the home, and everything about this issue must be seen through that lens. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/u...

While Vance’s statements about the Pope are jaw dropping, U.S. Catholic conservatives have a long history of playing fast and loose with their fidelity to the Pope. If you’re looking for context for what the hell is going on, I humbly recommend my article escholarship.org/uc/item/8r36...

To be clear: the end game is create the structural conditions to keep women from pursuing higher education, force them out of the workplace, and assign them to a permanent position of dependence, submission, and inferiority.
BREAKING: The White House today proposed eliminating the Title X family planning program. A few hours later, the health dept quietly released guidance that would shift the focus of the program millions of low-income people rely on away from contraception and toward "family formation."

A great thread explaining why the No Kings protests matter. Even though the liberal messaging doesn’t resonate on the left, these marches are important for building a movement and priming the path forward.
Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

This is a man who kneels to pray, brags to his God about how many people he killed today, and thinks he gets a spiritual fist bump and a guttural “hell yeah, brother” from the divine.
Hegseth: "Death & destruction from the sky all day. We're playing for keeps. Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by POTUS & yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise designed to unleash American power, not shackle it ... we are punching them while they are down"
I am so tired, and I am so angry, and I wish so much that knowing about this piss ant never took up a single second of this one precious life.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

This kind of messaging is intended to drown moms in research, risk, and responsibility. The goal is to keep them so anxious and so busy that they can't work for pay--especially not in high-powered "mens" jobs--or get involved in any kind of efforts to push for progressive change.

New verse for our theme song just dropped: 🎵MAGA is a war of men against women And the penalty for 'disrespect' is death🎵 Do pundits get it yet? Misogyny is and always has been the glue binding together the multi-racial, cross-class coalition Trump created, across three elections.
Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

What is the over/under that Nuzzi’s next act will be to reinvent herself as a right-wing mouthpiece ala Naomi Wolf?
This seems incredible to read, as it could come straight out of an Orbán 2015-16 speech, but this has actually been a dominant position within the broader U.S. Right for decades. 🧵
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
Heartbroken to see the NSSR is being culled—and especially that it is happening in this way (with utmost callousness) and at this time (when left/critical theory is so needed). Cannot imagine having a political science PhD from any other institution and hope this isn’t the end of the road for NSSR.
as a quick follow up: TNS triumphantly sent out an email earlier today that our Middle States accreditation warning was finally resolved! the same day—following months of claims that students in existing programs wouldn’t be negatively affected by restructuring—they sent this to NSSR/other faculty.
