The latest epiaode of Tucker Carlson can be seen as a manifesto for a right’s attempt to erase our antifascist memory www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

How a Nazi-obsessed amateur historian went from obscurity to the top of Substack

Tucker Carlson has called Darryl Cooper the “most important popular historian working in the United States today.” His background is more extreme than previously reported.

This was Miller’s excuse. He told Jake Tapper he wouldn’t drop out of the race because in 2016 accusations against Trump were even worse, and he still won.

I feel like I sometimes have to explain that in 1994 you could have a movie where the main character is so consumed by inner pain that he does himself up like a goth mime, climbs to the top of a warehouse, plays a sick guitar solo at sunset, and smashes the guitar with zero irony

i think we should eliminate all taxes for everyone willing to participate in the corvee. These Americans will be entitled to 100% of the money they earn as long as the state can enslave them at will for public works projects.

Jeff St John@jeffstjohn.bsky.social · yesterday

A federal court says the Trump admin improperly terminated $20B in "green bank" funds — a big win for the nonprofit groups fighting to restore clean-energy and climate lending. But a likely Supreme Court appeal may delay them from getting their money: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cli... #energysky

ICE Arrests of New York's Asian Immigrants Increases 600% Under Trump

Advocates say the spike is driven by the Trump administration's targeting of immigrants of color, as well as rhetoric that dehumanizes Asian immigrants.

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

On Wednesday, Aug. 5, City Council will consider a "term sheet" for the Moda Center negotiations. This is an opportunity for you to testify to the City Council about how you feel about the Moda Center issue and what the City should demand in exchange for public money.

Maybe the funniest part of the arena shakedown is seeing investment groups claim loss of "foot traffic" for "small businesses" in the area. Like, what in the fuck are you even talking about? The place is bound by a freeway on one side, an abandoned river silo on the other, and jack shit between.

I find it just astounding that there are musicians publicly bragging about new albums they made with AI. David Rovics has “made” two albums with AI in the last two months and seems quite proud of them. This might be some cultural trend that totally misses me. This seems as embarrassing as could be.

AI is often presented as inevitable. Yet the infrastructure behind it still depends on local planning, water supplies, electricity grids and politics. Those decisions remain contestable. Zeewolde, Cerrillos, New Brunswick — were all stopped by regular people who found out in time, and showed up.

One of the clearest victories happened in a Dutch town that few people outside the Netherlands had heard of before 2021.

This is another example of why the idea we can fight Trump “in the courts” is a total fraud: he has effectively neutered any legal avenue. Let’s stop pretending we have any options other than force of numbers large enough that no court can stop us www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/u...

Great to see my conversation with @michaelehayden.bsky.social finally up! His book, Strange People on the Hill, is one of the best this year and written by one of the most brilliant reporters covering the far-right of the last decade. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

I spoke to @shaneburley.bsky.social about my book Strange People on the Hill for truthout and we got into an important question -- what happened to the hate groups? When the government is a hate group with fascist ambitions, you don't need them as much. My answer: truthout.org/articles/whe...

Minneapolis record store owner Rosa Garcia, aka DJ Madre Rosa, is the founder of DJ-U, a free program for young DJs started in 2018. Despite DJ-U loosing funding this year, Garcia's held several fundraisers for stores like hers that were financially impacted by ICE's deadly Operation Metro Surge.

NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got to buy MSG's privacy. Her fans aren't so lucky.

Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

Never Again Action, a Jewish-led immigration justice project, brings the values of the Jewish left to support the growing movement to stop ICE’s unprecedented assault on immigrant communities, something that deeply connects with the memory many American Jews have of their own families’ histories.
