It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.

Can confirm

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

Victim in ICE Shooting Suffered at Least Six Wounds, His Lawyer Says

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.

He had just asked to call his wife.

They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.

Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.

Screenshot of sophiafornc from Threads: This is eleven year-old Genesis and six year-old Denis, two Durham elementary school students whose families came here to seek asylum. On Monday, they were detained by ICE and immediately sent back to Honduras without due process. Don't you dare tell me that this is making our country safer.

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.

Worst. Negotiator. Ever.

Body cameras show moments after federal agent shot into man’s car in D.C. The footage, which shows little of the shooting itself, was made public following D.C. Council legislation compelling its release.

DHS spox Tricia McLaughlin previously said that "Brown made a 'deliberate attempt' to run officers down. A D.C. police officer, however, testified that no LEOs were standing at Brown’s car, and Brown’s attorney told a judge that the bullets entered the car from the side, not the front."

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.”

U.S. strikes Iran’s Kharg Island as Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply.

These are the rantings of a bloodthirsty lunatic. It is sick beyond measure to threaten to wipe out an entire civilization.

This is not what the American people want.

It is well past time for the Republican Congress to join Democrats and put an end to this war.

There are roughly 2,000 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf with more than 20,000 seafarers on them, according to the International Maritime Organization. Most have been stuck on board more than a month, because fewer than 200 ships have managed to slip through the Strait of Hormuz. In normal times, 20% of the world’s oil flows through the narrow waterway to global markets, along with critical supplies of natural gas, fertilizer and other cargo shipments. It’s unclear when the vital shipping lane will get back to normal. Fresh vegetables and freshwater are running out on many ships, so the sailors are using social media and very-high-frequency marine radios to share survival tips and tactics. Some Chinese crew members have filmed themselves collecting condensate from air-conditioning units to shower and wash laundry. Others have taken to fishing over the side of their tankers, catching tuna, squid and largehead hairtail to cook.

WSJ has a piece on the merchant sailors stuck aboard ships inside Hormuz. There are 20,000 of them (many from less privileged nationalities), effectively held hostage and running out of food.

How oh how could it happen?

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

You just type into ChatGPT "how do I become certified AI proficient?" and then cut and paste its answer into a Word doc and turn that in to your teacher.

Her husband is a double amputee in ICE prison. She confronted Kristi Noem over its cruel conditions: ‘I have a fire inside’ Mildred Danis-Taylor dropped everything to advocate for the release of her husband, Rodney Taylor. A brutal year of legal and health challenges led her to Capitol Hill

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months.

Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs.

Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food.

Placed in solitary.

Denied medical accommodations.

They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Trump administration cuts turned rural towns into sitting ducks for disasters The Trump administration has delayed billions of dollars for projects to protect Americans from floods, wildfires and hurricanes. Local leaders are increasingly anxious.

I don’t think the White House understands the ethnic makeup of our armed services.

2 US helicopters hit in search and rescue efforts in Iran: report Two US military helicopters that were involved in the F-15 search and rescue efforts were struck by Iranian fire, according to reports.

Iran didn’t just hit 2 fighter jets, they got 2 rescue helicopters that aren’t getting any attention

Crew is safe- but reporting on the conflict isn’t reflecting the actual damage being inflicted on our soldiers - Credit to NBC & NTX local WFAA ABC 8 too for bringing some awareness

10,000 veterans have lost their homes in the last 10 months. The highest foreclosure rate in a decade.

The Trump administration was warned this would happen.

They shut the program down anyway, with no replacement and one week's notice.

Ahem

The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston confirmed it:
Trump’s tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China push core inflation up to 2.2 percentage points.
Medicines. Cars. Clothes. Hospital bills.
Everything costs more because of a policy choice he made.

Since the New Deal, the right edge of the conservative movement has been committed to the goal of eliminating all facets of the federal government that do good in the world, leaving behind only a war machine and a surveillance operation capable of containing the “internal leftist enemy.”

The Three Gulf Wars of American Hegemony tracking the decay of the unipolar moment

@seva.bsky.social is pulling no punches: "In 1991, the United States had a reason to fight; in 2003 it manufactured one; in 2026 it didn’t bother"

It’s genuinely a challenge for legal journalists to cover the birthright citizenship case, because one side’s argument is “the Fourteenth’s Amendment intent and text and a century of uninterrupted Supreme Court precedent all support birthright citizenship,” and the other side’s argument is “nuh-UH”

New U.S. Missile Hit Iranian Sports Hall and School, Analysis Shows

The 12 year olds at the Pentagon had a cool new missile they wanted to use. It explodes a few feet above the ground & shoots out little tungsten pellets, killing everyone nearby.

They used it to bomb a sports facility where girls were playing volleyball. Killed 21 people.

In your name.
