The extraordinary moment at the NATO press conference when Trump admits he gave a foreign enemy (Iran) permission to attack a US military base. “They said is one o’clock ok? I said it’s fine.” He even says soldiers were still on site. I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but that’s treason, right?

Palantir is entering the nuclear power industry to co-develop an AI system to “rapidly scale nuclear deployment.” www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

OK, Mr. Sexyman....

Today, we remember Tamir Elijah Rice on what would have been his 23rd birthday. He was only 12 when his life was taken by a #Cleveland police officer. His killing was one of many that sparked the #BLM Movement. #TheMarchContinues

NEW: Norwegian tourist detained by ICE and refused entry to US because he had a JD Vance meme on his phone. Yes, this is a real story. 🧵

The budget bill must be stopped and the wealthy need to step TF up and pay more taxes! Period. Full stop

NEW: Anti-war protests erupt in cities across the US after Trump bombs Iran. Protests have been seen in Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati and outside the White House in DC. These are the current scenes in Times Square, NYC.

Trump’s illegal strikes puts our troops in danger and risks implicating our nation in a potentially disastrous war. An urgent de-escalation is needed to save lives. Read my full statement:

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Gen Z/Alpha: the 2000s were cool we should bring some of that back Millennials: ok, let us tell you about some of our fav- Z/Alpha: *blasting creed and trying on low waisted jncos* Millennials: no wait The Govt: oh hell yeah! *frantically starts fabricating evidence of WMDs in the Middle East*

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

After the latest round of grading papers, I wrote about AI, ChatGPT, the death of the student essay, and what it means for the future of human cognition.

There is a new NPR show where they try to appease Trump without alienating their granola ass audiences so they end up with baffling takes like “ Trump could have been a good president” and “ Looking forward to the new remodeled rose garden!” Your funding will be cut anyways why humiliate yourself?

This human being was treated with all the dignity of a rice cooker or a microwave: not as Adriana Smith, endowed with human & civil rights, but as a Gestation Appliance belonging to the state. They only removed the fetus bc her body was decaying so badly. Explain to me how this differs from slavery.

Peter Sean Brown, a Philly native, should have never been held on an ICE detainer by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office nor should he have faced deportation to Jamaica.

Oops

Let's be clear: Trump is thinking of entering a war against Iran without Congressional authorization or legal basis because his birthday parade was a dud and he thinks the war will produce arousing pictures for him to look at on Fox News.

#OTD we remember the nine victims of the racist mass shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. Radicalized by white supremacy, the gunman took their lives, but not their legacy. #TheMarchContinues

Sex Offender......

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

It seems we reached 3.5% of the American population protesting yesterday. What if we could get those 11 million people… ➡️ Involved in building community resilience and the infrastructure to strike - mutual aid networks, community meals and gardens, tenant unions, childcare networks, resource hubs?

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Peaceful protests all day until, right on cue, LAPD escalates with flash-bangs and tear gas so Trump can get his live “riot” visual for his live speech.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

Stephen Miller confirmed Trump is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus—a legal safeguard used to contest detention—citing the Constitution’s rebellion clause. Legal experts and courts reject the move, calling it unjustified and unlawful.

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:
