Now he'll have a whole fleet of planes for his deportation gambit. $20 says the money will come from the DHS budget. Anyone with bookings on Spirit should cancel them straight away. But aren't they only one of a few American budget carriers? This will drive up airline prices even more.
"To list all of these is to remember how routine mass shootings have become in the United States. But this one was different in one disturbing way. The other incidents commanded national attention."
The latest edition of The Breakdown from @citizencohn.bsky.social:
Quadruple hazard pay to you today, @atrupar.com , for covering that smirking, smug, self-important sack of sarcastic sh!t. The only redeeming factor is Senator Van Hollen landing the blow he asked for right in the face.
The artificial intelligence industry’s data center boom is the latest chapter in a long history of environmental racism and resource exploitation in vulnerable Native communities, says Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne activist Krystal Two Bulls, the executive director of Honor the Earth.
#GeorgeConway for House Impeachment Committee!!!!
She was asking about *our* economy, Sherlock!
And even if there are drug traffickers among the boats they're blowing up, it's f'ing ILLEGAL to blow up civilians with the military!!!
Garland's approach was the opposite: fear of looking "partisan" chased him away from holding those at the top accountable. The indictments should start at the top this time & work their way down. Or maybe we can walk & chew gum at the same time and bring in the whole rotten chain of command at once.
Wow, senator Warren breaking news! She for his admission under oath. Well played.
The tyranny of electricity and its acceleration of industrialization! Now look at us--as enslaved to it as ever.
Boo hoo, a corporation whose owner we just rubber stamped to dismantle the American administrative state has polluted our water! But screw Minnesota, we want a foreign corporation to come in and pollute their watershed for generations. bsky.app/profile/altn...
Everything--literally--that Trump does is for that purpose. It's his reason for living.
But the money in politics exacerbated 100-fold by #CitizensUnited fueled mainstream Dems to turn the other way on regulating tech in any way. Courting big tech $$ sustained the Clinton and Obama administrations. Dems anemic pushback recently + trump's open fascism have galvanized them to him.
Yeah, just wait till Friday after the markets close.
Surprised this is the first article I've seen about the impact of oil spills from the military strikes. Environmental catastrophy is human catastrophe, as we are one with the planet that supports all life.
Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.
The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.
Great reporting.
Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
This is the kind of betrayal a nation carries out when its leaders don't believe in the concept of allies and that views promises as something for suckers.
It also makes our armed forces less safe. No nation will ever trust us again. Why should they? We stab our friends in the back.
Hmm, no one from Minnesota voted for it. Seems kinda bogus that all these other states can vote to pollute the watershed of a state they're not responsible for by granting mining rights to a foreign entity.
This tendency to "blame ourselves" reminds me of ppl in abusive/toxic relationships that place responsibility on themselves for getting <beaten, mistreated, causing the bad thing to happen> instead of holding the bad actor accountable for their behavior. We need to send the center Dems to therapy.
This is one of those MAHA-adjacent horseshoe topics that progressives are more likely to champion than traditional conservatives. Trials for psychiatric issues with these kinds of clinical applications is a long time coming.
Dozens of American veterans and military family members were detained after they started protesting the Iran war inside a congressional office building in Washington D.C.
This is a savvy public testimony that backstops The Atlantic and the endurance and sanctity of our constitution and the institutions that uphold it.
"1. The Director Must Be Present
2. The Director Must Make Decisions
3. The Director Must Manage Crisis
4. The Director Must Push Back
5. The Director Must Protect the FBI Workforce"
Valuable expert testimony made public before it can be buried. An i-am-Sparticus moment for The Atlantic & democracy
"We are now operating under a Robertsian reimagining of the separation of powers, in which laws passed by Congress are mere suggestions for a monarchical president."
"“You can only live in a rule-free environment for so long before it cooks your brain.”"
Scathing summary of Roberts' actions.
Their fear mongering of liberal democracy is a continually escalating scale of bombastic ridiculousness that just gets sillier & less credible with each turn of the ratchet. At some point, their followers have to see how stupid it is, bc the mess is happening with their guys in charge.
Netanyahu will break with the US when that happens. Not to get fatalistic, but they have nukes and likely aren't as afraid to use them as the rest of the world is. Thinking that through, it's obviously a suicide mission, but where does the road they're on stop?
I think people are just kind of stupified that "Law Enforcement" would do anything this outrageously illegal & fascistic. A lot of naive ppl coming out of their bubbles right now. I'm glad you've been out ahead of it--Cassandra's clarion voice ahead of the flames.
