Iran sent a team of 30 including university professors, scientists, diplomats, PhDs. The American delegation includes no diplomats, but lots of relatives of Trump and real estate developers. Who's going to get fleeced? www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

New Mexicans view Trump's border wall as a monument to ugliness and hatred, and can't wait to remove it as soon as he leaves Washington. Here they are desecrating Monte Cristo Rey to build it with blasting that can't be undone. www.organmountainnews.com/mount-cristo...

When people talk about problems on the border here, they mean, of course, the border with Texas, where the criminally insane live.

US intelligence indicates that China is preparing to provide Iran with air defense systems in a matter of weeks. Beijing is expected to ship shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missiles known as Man-Portable Air Defense Systems to Iran, according to the report.

MAGA podcaster Dave Rubin is heavily funded by the Kremlin, and he never deviates from the Kremlin line on anything.

You could add Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush to this list as well.

Living in the United States at this time principally involves being an involuntary participant in a weekly pump and dump market manipulation scheme enacted by the child predator president and his cabal of bloodthirsty freaks. The entire apparatus of the state is focused on fixing the price of oil

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

If there aren't more US People in the streets today than there were at the three "No Kings" rallies they held on the Mad King's golf days, the world will remember.

Every media source should be interviewing psychologists today. We need to know what a narcissistic psychopath with nukes will do when facing a choice between humiliation and lashing out.

I hope so.

I came her to say this.

Q: "As of today there have been 8 U.S. military fatalities associated with the war in Iran. How many American deaths are you willing to have in this war?"

Trump: "When you have conflicts like this you always have death."

"The problem is not that Lindsey Graham is scaring people. The problem is Lindsey Graham is actually leading Trump into wars."

@samsteindc.bsky.social and @saletan.bsky.social discuss the South Carolina senator's insatiable bloodlust on his Sunday show appearances.

Warning: The Chaos President THRIVES on Chaos Failed wars have tail risks for democracy.

"In the America of 2016, we would assume that there was nothing a president could do to alter the progress of free and fair elections." A long, long time ago...

I do! On it tonight!

People may very well have and we just don’t know it. ICE doesn’t keep track of who dies a few days after being deported, which is likely when a DVT caused by shackling on a long flight would become dislodged and kill.

This regime is blowing through our money as fast as they possibly can!!! It's absolutely heinous to treat people like this. I can't believe people haven't died from blood clots ,makes no sense!!!🤬

ICE deportation flights are getting longer and crueler A private equity–owned airline profits off Trump’s migrant crackdown.

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going.

Things are changing, y’all.

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ... TikTok video by HBCU Student Action Alliance

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

Trump administration drops appeal of court order blocking $1.2-billion UCLA settlement The Trump administration dropped its appeal of a major higher education case in which a federal judge blocked its $1.2-billion settlement proposal to UCLA over alleged civil rights violations. It will...

“The Trump administration’s decision to not appeal this preliminary injunction means that for the foreseeable future, they cannot use civil rights laws or federal funding as a cudgel to remake the UC in its ideological image.”

—Veena Dubal, AAUP General Counsel

The destruction of the administrative capacity to hear habeas claims is a feature, not a bug of the Nazi Death Camp scheme.

"Sorry judge, we didn't release him because we don't have enough lawyers to administrate rights (because we fired them all)"

#PrisonIndustrialComplex makin' that blood money.

Federal courts have U.S. Marshals.

Preach

State and local law enforcement must start charging ICE with state crimes. Nothing prohibits state or local law enforcement from doing that.

Using court dockets, Reuters found more than 700 Justice Department attorneys representing the government in immigration cases. Five of the attorneys each appeared on the dockets of more than 1,000 habeas cases. Partly as a result of that legal logjam, judges have found that the government has left people locked up even after judges ordered their release. In a court order, opens new tab issued last month in Minnesota, Schiltz said the government had violated 96 orders in 76 cases. The U.S. Attorney there, Daniel Rosen, said in a filing, opens new tab two days later that the cases had created an "enormous burden" for government attorneys.

"Judges have found that the govt has left people locked up even after judges ordered their release." Reuters says this is, in part, due to a "legal logjam" overwhelming DOJ attorneys.

Jan. 28, Judge Schiltz said the govt had violated 96 orders in 76 cases.
