Washington Post publishes an op-ed by Kristi Noem attacking Harvard. I wonder which of the two pillars--"personal liberties and free markets"--Jeff Bezos would say this supports.🤔 If you want independent pro-democracy news, information and analysis, sign up for Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

The interior designers who literally screamed at me when I asked them to fix one of the dozens of mistakes that they made took pictures of my house for the purposes of mocking it. They were somehow surprised today when I told them that they could not take more pictures.

Even the AP cannot help engaging in the sane-washing. This isn't a "gamble." This is a thoughtless, reckless move undertaken by people who absolutely do not care what the consequences are, since they won't be consequences for them personally.

20% of the world’s oil transits the Strait of Hormuz. Blocking the Strait is an option for Iran and could cause oil prices to skyrocket.

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical. These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months. Removing them puts millions of lives at risk. wapo.st/3FQovhf

Trying hard to stay out of politics, I promise. But “some Americans” continue to give “some Americans” cover for any and all bad behavior by saying that claiming that perpetrators are “afraid.” Don’t be upset at those voters; they’re just “afraid.” Don’t hold cops accountable, they’re “afraid.”

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

I’m no longer accepting the more modern definition of “progressive”. I am progressive, most people who claim it are really The Veruca Salt Party. They want what they want & they don’t care how it happens. Progressives really want change and do the work necessary to figure out how to make it happen

NoKingsDay won’t magically rewind the clock pre-election and let us have a do-over. It doesn’t suddenly erase the unprecedented damage to our systems and safeguards. It alone can’t bend the arc of the moral universe in any substantial way. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/id-lost-a-...

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Once again, how does this fit into the MAHA agenda? RFK Jr’s whole shtick is Americans don’t need more access to medical care. They need only healthier food and fewer environmental toxins. Meanwhile the administration is reducing nutritional assistance and increasing environmental toxins.

IF what I am seeing said is true, that 'ICE agents' are actually deputized bounty hunters being paid per body THEN this is also a form of class warfare, as it doesn't just appeal to violent racists/white nationalists, but also poor people who see $1k per person as an opportunity out of debts.

Three months in jail for most Americans would mean losing your job, losing your apartment/home, and all your shit in a storage unit you'd have to not only come up with the back rent AND storage costs to redeem, but have only 3 more months to do so. It means losing everything.

In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory. The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.

Tulsi Gabbard is now saying exactly the opposite of what she testified & the opposite of the statement in the worldwide threat assessment the entire intelligence community produced. It’s rather dangerous when the director of national intelligence cannot accurately convey a hard-and-fast reality.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.
