Rotunda of the US Capitol where people are standing, many in military camouflage, holding signs that read "End the War on Iran" among other messages.
The #BraveOfUS stand up and confront power and that's exactly what @vetsaboutface.bsky.social is doing with 150 veterans and active duty military in the Capitol rotunda right now to demand Congress end this criminal war on Iran.
#FakeTapper only attacks #Stefanik because he knows she's politically dead. Otherwise he would be more deferential.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Having spent the past seven weeks in this country reporting for @thenation.com on Nepal's "GenZ Revolution" and what comes next, I can assure you there has been no "revolution." Nor was that even what Nepal's GenZ movement was aiming for.

Hilarious headline in the #NYTimes. In what alternate universe is taxing a second home the "apex" of an "anti-rich current?"

Another great story from student journalists at @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social

U.S. Southern Command @Southcom On April 15, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
Five boats hit in five days. This means either:
- These aren't drug boats: the intelligence is sloppy, or the killing is happening just for the sake of it
- These *are* drug boats: there are so many out there because this strategy isn't deterring anyone
Either way, a failure.
Put the entire White House under an interdict.
For me, a big “aha” moment in law school was when I realized that every year, the handful of normal, median-ish guys (they were all guys) who would land huge clerkships seemingly out of nowhere were all officers in the student FedSoc chapter

It’s beyond nuts. Millions of people will die and suffer because of this.
It's the 7th month of the US bombing random ships in Latin American waters they claim are drug smugglers (reminder that two survivors who were rescued were repatriated, not charged), and the death toll is 150+, and it barely gets discussed.

100% agree with @froomkin.bsky.social on this one
In the mainstream U.S. media, Benjamin #Netanyahu has been getting away with murdering people in #Lebanon, as he tries to sabotage #Iran peace talks. My post @mondoweiss.net. #Israel @raniaakhalek.bsky.social mondoweiss.net/2026/04/isra...
The usual dishonesty in the #NYTimes. This report nowhere explains that #Israel continues attacking #Lebanon to sabotage the U.S./#Iran peace talks. @mondoweiss.net @sinatoossi.bsky.social
#Netanyahu is killing hundreds of people in #Lebanon to torpedo the U.S./#Iran ceasefire talks. And the mainstream media is ignoring #Israel's murderous sabotage effort. My post @mondoweiss.net. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/isra...
I lost a good friend to pancreatic cancer.
An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

If #Netanyahu truly wanted peace negotiations to succeed, why would he order #Israel's military to kill another 112 people in #Lebanon? And why would J.D. Vance quibble about what the ceasefire actually means? Just stop the killing. @mondoweiss.net
