Sure, it's totally normal for the US to cover up indefensible and ongoing atrocities by Russia. "The Trump administration cut funding to Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which was compiling a database of alleged Russian war crimes, including the abduction of an estimated 35,000 […]

The U.S. government is taking people off the street and sending them to the place in the bottom picture without charges filed, no arraignments, no due process and without notifying anyone of the people’s whereabouts. El Salvador intends to never release anyone from CECOT. #HumanRights #USpol

I guess with all the other open-air graft going on it's easy to overlook, but the U.S. Commerce Secretary using his official position to go on cable news to tell people to buy the stock of his boss's largest campaign donor is just astonishingly corrupt.

These are dangerous times for everyone in and around the US, but many times more so for those without the protections of US citizenship. Those of us who are privileged enough to be able to speak freely and without the immediate threat of draconian consequences have a special obligation not to […]

[#uspol #deportation] This is absolutely appalling on so many levels. There's the lack of due process, the way these people are being treated, the horrorshow of a prison they were sent to... It's disgusting that this is happening. Everyone involved in making this happen deserves to be […]

Ugh. According to Politico, a Georgetown postdoc in the School of Foreign Service, an Indian national on a student visa who's married to a US citizen, has been arrested and is facing deportation. No crime charged, but apparently was recently doxed on a right wing web site and accused of holding […]

Can confirm.

This is beyond… #LeMonde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to #US after a #search of his #phone & #computer revealed messages critical of #Trump's #science cuts, "which says [#CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as […]

The battle against a Trump+Putin fuelled global fascism that would seek to carve up the world has begun in earnest. It’s happening fast. Don’t ignore it. Take action. Fight.

Don't surprised that Pierre Poillievre is not allowing reporters to travel with his bus. Controlling the narrative is what it's all about. The question is whether media, journalists, and voters will tske the responsibility to punish him for it. Same goes for CPC candidates not doing all […]

Trump got nothing. Putin tricked Trump into demanding that Ukraine can no longer bomb Russian oil refineries, while Putin can continue bombing civilians. Trump truly possesses a lethal level of stupidity. It is time the international community tells the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

No NYT, a Trump-Putin meeting isn’t like the Yalta Conference. Yalta 1945 was allies who fought for years against aggression planning for after Germany’s defeat. This is the US—which didn’t fight in the war—trying to help Russian aggression, pretending Ukraine lost in the field and has no agency.

A U.S. federal judge has indefinitely stopped President Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, saying the effort is “likely unconstitutional.” https://flip.it/qeKEWX #USAID #Trump #US #Aid #DOGE #Government

NYT - Chinese state media is gloating about drastic budget cuts to Voice of America and Radio Free Asia, U.S. government-funded media outlets that have for decades drawn protests from Beijing over their coverage of human rights abuses in China […]

I can’t get over the cognitive dissonance of spending 12 hours of intense work in clinic, using every minute of my 25 years of training and experience to formulate treatment plans for my patients with #cancer, and then to come home and check the news and to read about every part of the […]

"The price of solar panels has fallen from $US 4 a watt in 2008, to US 74¢ in 2013, and US 9¢ at December 2024, close to free power." https://www.smh.com.au/business/the-economy/trump-s-oil-and-gas-dream-is-set-to-blow-up-in-his-face-20250317-p5lk0e.html #climate #climatechange

It’s not “fragile” when one side already broke the ceasefire. It’s broken.

ACLU Protest Advice #protests #law

What’s going on with the case about immigrants deported to Venezuela by Trump over the weekend is wild, as wild as any of the very wild litigation against the Trump regime so far. 1/

In a prelude to litigation, #NewMexico #ACLU, #Somos, and others have submitted an administrative complaint to DHS on behalf of 48 individuals “disappeared” by ICE. https://www.aclu-nm.org/sites/default/files/2025.03.16_aclu-nm_crcl_complaint_-_48_apprehended.pdf

1/2/ "Top Commerce Dept official sent a blistering email to his former colleagues on his way out the door Sunday warning that #Trump admin is poised to unduly enrich #Musk ’s satellite internet co. w $ for rural broadband."

Apparently DOD went through the web pages for Medal of Honor recipients and marked those of non-white dudes as "DEI", which also broke links. The shameless racism is nakedly on display.

I phonebanked last weekend for Democrat Josh Weil in the FL06 special election and it was painless. The best protest against Chuck Schumer is to reclaim the House. #USPolitics https://mobilize.us/s/SI70lk

Think tanks begging - *pleading* - for Trump to unleash AI in public schooling - literally as the Dept of Ed is dismantled - should surely be enough to show that AI in education is not just nifty tech but a political program, right? datainnovation.org/2025/03/ai-i...
