"🤓erm, actually aid to israel is good for the US because it mostly goes to US companies!"
So you're telling me aid to Israel is transferring some of my paycheck directly to Raytheon? And along the way Israel gets a weapon to kill a Palestinian kid?
You think that's *good*?
This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline.
A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.
For all those looking for what you can do beyond the existentially vital work of defense, there is actually a GOOD piece of legislation coming for a vote on April 15th to ensure Haitians on temporary protected status can remain. #KeepThemHome

they like him and want to help him. They send out a push alert not for the actual story "the president is losing his fucking mind" but one repeating Trump's false criticism of the Pope as if they are reasonable.

🚨 Israel is refusing to adhere to the regional ceasefire in Lebanon. If anything, it is intensifying its strikes.
In just a ten minute period, there were over 100 airstrikes across the country. Hospitals are overwhelmed with victims.
Don't look away from Lebanon.
400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming
it's never "meet the liberals pushing for nuremberg 2.0" is it?

It’s arguably less a war than it is just a string of war crimes

try and imagine a bigger W as an academic
seeing a lot of moral abandonment and dereliction of duty by people who just wanna stay employed and wondering how much this would be happening if healthcare and insurance could be decoupled from employment
WATCH: In the first 7 months of Trump’s second term, authorities detained the parents of at least 11,000 U.S. citizen children — a number that, if the pace has held up, will have roughly doubled by now.
That’s an average of more than 50 U.S. citizen kids a day with a parent pulled into detention.

They called Alex Pretti a "domestic terrorist" and only backtracked because witnesses had NFL-like coverage of the incident.
This is repression carried out by the state for electoral purposes. It's about stamping out your objections to their autocratic aims.
AIPAC, Crypto, And AI Are Trying To Buy Our Congress
40%+ of outside spending in last night's elections were from one organization - AIPAC.
AIPAC was the largest source of Republican money in Democratic primaries in 2024, and it is on track to break its own record.
This is an existential threat to the Democratic Party.
Reminder to avoid the Thiel distraction. A point we’ve been hitting on tour is the temptation to apply intellectual history methods to a regime of accumulation (digital capitalism) is misguided. You won’t understand the Tech Right by reading books (they don’t read). Look at how they run their firms.
mom can you pick me up at the strait of hormuz, my friends are laughing at me and wont help
It's bad enough that Trump & his family are cashing in on the White House. Last year alone, Trump & his family made $1.4 BILLION.
But if their corruption infects our foreign policy & puts profits over American interests & lives, that constitutes treason.

As chair of the Board of Peace, with a lifetime appointment, Trump determines the council’s membership, chooses the executive board, and has the final say on all things.

Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:
Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”
Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
