If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

Request a public hearing. Force their hand. ✊

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent.

To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

We need to know how much energy data centers use – and if YOU are subsidizing the costs of Big Tech companies.

Making this data public is the bare minimum.

The GOP's Plan to Shut Down Abortion Pill Websites 3.25.26

It's late, but this is important: Senate Republicans are pressuring the FDA to shut down abortion pill websites jessica.substack.com/p/the-gops-p...

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court. (2/2)

Oh, my god

There is NO need for ICE at our airports.

This is what I was hoping to see from influencers and independent journalists who traveled to Cuba. The impacts of U.S. actions aren't getting the attention they deserve in mainstream media. My people are being ignored in the U.S. news.

This week at Democracy Docket: SAVE takes over the Senate, and DOJ’s latest epic blunder This was the week when MAGA Republicans finally got what they’d been demanding for so long: A full Senate debate on the SAVE America Act, President Donald Trump’s monster voter suppression bill.

MAGA Republicans finally got what they’ve been demanding: A full Senate debate on the SAVE America Act, Trump’s monster voter suppression bill.

We produced 15 separate news stories on the SAVE Act this week because we think the debate matters — even if the measure is likely to fail.

However much John Roberts cloaks him in unaccountability, doing this remains a very serious federal crime and stories about it should say so.

Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism And the Silence is Deafening On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a ‘100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that: If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while...

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

Man v. Nature: Trump Appointees Are Shredding Environmental Protections Federal appellate courts are enacting an anti-environment agenda—especially in the ultraconservative 5th Circuit, new analysis shows.

Our top story: In Trump’s first presidential term, federal judges often blocked administration efforts to roll back environmental protections. But as Trump has increasingly filled the courts with people who share his views, he faces fewer and fewer barriers to gutting environmental protections.

Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded $11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with the briefing. The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation, such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first week. Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war. That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each day. The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

People who are too incompetent to host an Olympic hockey team just kicked off world war 3 to make their boss feel better about himself. Awesome.

He’s at war with Iran, Minnesota, and Venezuela.

He’s threatening war with Denmark, Canada, Nigeria, Somalia, etc.

He’s murdered 137 guys on boats for fun.

He’s sold countless pardons.

He’s covering up an FBI interview of a teen girl who says he raped her.

This is one guy! And a partial list.
