White Hse seeks to codify spending cuts, incl for critical programs like US AIDS initiative, PEPFAR. This will literally kill millions of people around the world. It is also a direct challenge to Congressional spending authority. Criminal and cruel. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

It's hard to celebrate when someone like Elon Musk waltzes into the federal government, wrecks the place, and walks away seemingly with everything he wanted. But did he, though? In the end, Musk left defeated, humiliated, and widely despised. That’s no small thing. We should take the win.

Trump administration changes in the Justice Department have fostered what critics say is the ripest environment for corruption by public officials and executives in a generation.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

Of course they didn’t know they were voting to deport moms. Moms are people. They wanted to deport immigrants. Immigrants aren’t people.

Communities aren’t staying silent about ICE… 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student Marcelo Gomes was taken by ICE on his way to volleyball practice Saturday morning. No word on where he’s being held. Marcelo missed graduation today, so Milford HS graduates marched to rally in solidarity.

Imagine any other country doing this. Imagine an Arab country doing this to Israel. What would you call it? #Genocide

As a young diplomat, the names of senior American officials used to fill me w awe - often ex-military, they knew the cost of war, and seemed possessed of a special honor code of valor and integrity. US’s current team are pygmies by comparison - weak, self-serving and utterly devoid of principles.

This is good, depressing, analysis of European defense vulnerability w/o US leadership in NATO. @ @ianbond makes strong case for creating a European defense pillar . www.cer.eu/insights/nat...

Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.

What is happening in Gaza is beyond my comprehension. How can the world allow any of this to happen?

Everything we’re doing is simply damage limitation. This is certainly worthwhile; but, not to be confused with genuine, let alone “historic”, achievement.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Excellent article, which compares speeches of EU leaders and Starmer. The former talk warmly about shared values, mutual benefits, working “with” each other. Starmer focuses on what the UK got “from” the EU. Encapsulates different mindsets in a nutshell. EU seeks win-win. UK still zero sum.

Good 🧵 . Thinking we can “make Brexit work” is same muddled thinking that we can work with “the good parts” of this US admin. Brexit will never “work”, and there are no “good parts” to this admin. If we don’t face these truths squarely we will just get drawn more into the abyss in both cases.

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

When will we realize that Israel is not our friend; not a true democracy; not our int’l partner. Does not share our values. Does not respect the rule of law. Routinely abuses human rights. Has betrayed its founding values. Has lost its moral bearings. Has become the oppressor. If not now, when?

Israel have announced they will establish 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank Last year the ICJ ruled that Israels occupation is unlawful & they must withdraw their troops & dismantle all settlements. States like the UK are obligated to take actions to make this happen

Can anyone tell me how this ruling might affect UK- US trade deal painstakingly negotiated by Starmer? Bitter irony if UK is stuck with tariffs, having rushed to steal a march on EU and others by sucking up to Trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

We have the supplies, plan, will, and networks to deliver massive amounts of lifesaving aid to civilians in Gaza, in line with humanitarian principles, as the world is demanding. Enough. Let us work. No more time to lose.

Presidentialism, & the post-WWII imperial presidency created by both parties, was a grave mistake. If we make it through this, we need to fundamentally rethink & revise the amount of power one Mad King can arbitrarily exercise on policy issue after policy issue.
