The Senate has an opportunity to educate the public about just how disastrous Pam Bondi and her DOJ have been for the rule of law.

The IOC didn’t just target trans women with this decision: They opened the door to policing all women’s bodies.

Tell me you don’t understand capitalism without telling me you don’t understand capitalism.

How Iran’s Oil Infrastructure Gambit Could Imperil the Strait of Hormuz A series of mysterious and seemingly random explosions continue to erupt across various parts of Iran this month, hitting sensitive military sites, as

Back in 2020, my colleague Elisa Catalano Ewers & I wrote this piece for @warontherocks.bsky.social, where we laid out how Iran was positioning itself then to withstand a closing of the Strait of Hormuz, a tool it’d be prepared to use.

Trump Administration Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans Under a new rule, the State Department will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally.

Every single person sitting quietly by while the fascist regime hunts marginalized groups - just remember how that worked out for people in the past.

I was only following orders/it doesn't affect me.

Do you think it will just stop here?

Seeing many fresh reports of tear gas being fired into peaceful VT Resistance Assemblies. Stand strong Vermont neighbors! Your Rebel Hermit Thrush will rise!

Meanwhile, in Vermont…

People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it?

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

Sober in its analysis and devastating in its implications.

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

If you happen to be in Austin on Tuesday afternoon... I promise it will be interesting if not cheerful!

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

A photo of Frodo speaking with Gandalf in the Mines of Moria: "I wish it had not happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But the Dow is over 50,000."

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

This is heartbreaking, and the details are still very unclear and concerning. Rest in peace and power, Kevin.

New Jersey at its very best

Another instance showing that Donald Trump is the whiniest, saddest, most petulant little crybaby ever to hold high office.

I'd tell him to cry harder but I'm not sure it's possible.

This one hits hard.

When I say our leaders aren’t helping us, this is what I mean. ICE is showing no signs of leaving but our senator, who is currently running for governor, doesn’t even know that. And she’s doing the administration‘s work for them.

This is a brilliant, beautifully detailed & richly explained review of Bad Bunny's halftime show and why it was so transgressive. I caught at best 20% of this in real time, so please check this out.

Bad Bunny is telling the world that the people in Puerto Rico are American citizens and deserve reliable and resilient electricity and infrastructure investment from the U.S. government.

How denouncing Bad Bunny could give Gavin Newsom a much-needed Sister Souljah moment.

Elmo @elmo · 1h That Bunny was AMAZING. Elmo thinks he should be called Good Bunny! Elmo loves you, Mr. Good Bunny! ❤️🎶🐰 Based Yankee @thebasedyankee You and Bad Bunny should be deported

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Remember. Your Ring camera is fascist.

Bad Bunny holds a football that says Together, we are America.

Unidos somos América.

I would like to second this idea

Michelle Obama tried to get schoolkids to eat more vegetables and the right wing treated it like Maoist indoctrination.
