NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty
Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

This administration is the most openly racist administration since Wilson invited the KKK to the White House.
Donald Trump legitimately loves watching — and talking about — people being brutally murdered. It’s fucking sick
Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.
in a stunning victory, Donald Trump has forced the Iranian government to profit tens of billions of dollars a year against their will
APNewsAlert: JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli military official says the country is still attacking #Iran, after White House said Israel agreed to ceasefire.

There has been some back and forth over the headline wording but hard to be more straightforward than this.
every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy
corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor
that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft
Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. "If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said. I asked if there’s anything off limits. “Very little,” he said.
Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons
I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
I do think it is time to declare a good ol’ constitutional crisis, boys
This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.
The point, though, isn’t to win in court. Trump is engaging in election denialism theater. It makes voters of all sides mistrust the election process and the virtues of democracy. It convinces his supporters that Democrats have to cheat to win, something that will come in handy should Democrats take back control of the House in November with the intent of beginning investigations and potentially impeachment. It lets Trump, the most powerful person on earth, paint himself as a victim of fraud and of “bad, bad” judges. It also puts into question the rules of an election that is just months away, giving voters reason to fear that the postal service could sabotage their ballots. (The recent Supreme Court ruling saying that postal service employees cannot be held liable for intentionally failing to deliver mail surely doesn’t help that perception.) Trump’s executive order, seems aimed to sow chaos in elections and depress turnout. We will look back at Donald Trump’s presidency as years where the concept of election integrity got turned on its head. In the name of protecting democracy, Trump is breaking democracy. The damage could last a generation, even if the shelf life of his new executive order might be measured in days.
My new one @slate.com on Trump's new mail balloting executive order: Sometimes it's the chaos, not the cruelty, that's the point.

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead.
