The conservative project always makes much more sense when you realize it's just run by upper middle class American christian nationalist who are basically completely fine in material position but furious the entire country doesn't bow to their weird cultural preferences.

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

ITUC denounces Trump’s intervention in #Argentina’s elections — backing a regime that cuts wages, attacks public services, and enables capital flight 💸

This isn’t a bailout. It’s a hedge fund exit plan.

✊🏽ITUC stands with Argentina’s workers. No more blackmail & foreign interference. #ForDemocracy

The mechanism through which Trump is paying the troops is the most blatant large Antideficiency Act (ADA) violation in US history. It's also clearly willful. No one has been charged under the ADA before, but violations carry a two-year jail term. The statute of limitations is five years.

We’re rethinking what “affordable” really means for young people trying to move out of homelessness and into stable housing.

That means building 1,000 housing units over the next 10 years that youth can rent for 30% of whatever their income is — no more no less.

The clarity of analysis about the three main “takes” on Trump 2.0 (and what got us here - as well as how they overlap) is very grounding, and the article hints at ways forward where people who subscribe to each of the three can collaborate for a liberated future and at how difficult this will be.

This is as useful an essay as everyone sharing it has already said, which is to say, very useful to think with.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

And this:
92% of the growth in the entire country this year has been data centers. And some of that is "circular deals" that dont involve actual money

fortune.com/2025/10/07/d...

Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025, Harvard economist says | Fortune

Is a U.S. without data centers a country without GDP growth?

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

ICE is randomly targeting peaceful protesters because the point is to terrorize the public into accepting martial law.

Indiscriminate attacks send the message that there’s nothing you can do to stay safe.

The regime wants you to cower at home and cede the streets of your city to their control.

not to be a wet blanket but no, protein powder lead content is not responsible for the way right wing men are. everything they are doing is 100% the logical conclusion of their material and social interests and investment in power. patriarchy is 5000 years older than protein powder.

Listen: body shaming is BAD

It's bad when it's an unflattering photo of a president's neck

It's bad when you're judging the desirability of a postpartum body or a woman over 40

It's bad when you're trying to insult a small-minded man by bringing up appendage sizes
