I realize this is confusing, but the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran isn’t a domestic political story.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

hahahahahahahahahah::::god damn we are so fucked:::::::hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Trump says such grotesque things about Somali-Americans I don’t even know which lie to focus on in a given clip.

He also claims here that Somali-Americans have “94% unemployment.” What the fuck man

I wonder when we'll be concerned about the other Middle Eastern c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶r̶y̶ area-with-military harboring 90-400 nuclear warheads that the IAEA is barred from inspecting.

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump.

When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people.

We need a new democracy.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Such a great poster, keep punching.

A cartoon of a diminutive, goose-stepping Greg Bovino wearing his nazi-inspired overcoat, many sizes too large, dwarfed by the legs of combat soldiers behind him. He's thinking "I'm a big boy now..."

ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds. Deporting children with cancer. Shooting moms. And now, using a 5 year-old as “bait” to detain his family.

It’s far past clear: ICE must be abolished. Congress should not give it any additional funding. And the people responsible for its crimes should face charges.

If you're a Democrat in Michigan who thinks ICE just needs to be reformed, I'm going to need you to come over to the west side and say that shit to my face.

I don't think you believe it that much.

Abolish ICE

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.

“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.”

-Zohran Mamdani

These people are constantly looking for ways to hurt the people they represent and choke the will of the people to fold under their narrow, bigoted goals.

On no one’s Christmas wishlist

We should reboot journalism completely. Start from scratch. They should get those old timey hats and a pencil and figure it out from there

China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

15 percent of American homes lacked indoor plumbing in 1960.

The idea that everyone in 1955 America lived in a split-level suburban home with two cars and three kids and one income is, quite simply, a fantasy borne of media consumption.

USDA Quietly Deletes Its Contingency Plan for Funding SNAP The 55-page “lapse of funding” document for USDA is no longer available online.

The USDA has a contingency plan to keep SNAP running during a government shutdown — but the document laying out that plan has been deleted from the agency’s website.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Heartbreaking reading, but this Reddit thread gives a sense of the relentlessness of the horror inflicted by ICE, and the damage being done to so many innocent people that doesn't make the news.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

overt nazi language in this DHS job listing (which i’m told is for a low-level but important job in adjudicating immigration applications and requires knowledge of the law)
