Major airspace closures for civil aviation announced by both Pakistan (all airspace) and India (along the border with Pakistan) in the last few hours. We're possibly about to witness the start of the most intense and broad-spectrum direct conflict between two nuclear-armed states ever.

Yes. A big part of why so many young men are turning to destructive, amoral, misogynistic, bigoted, selfish, self-absorbed, blame-everyone-else ideologies is because that's what their dads believe in.

You’d think someone from a storied American family with enough personal wealth to live comfortably might decide to do something with his life other than being a ghoul who destroys a nation’s public health infrastructure. But I guess RFK Jr. is different …

"The first part of controlling the language is inverting the meaning: whatever the government does is good, because by definition then its victims are the 'criminals' and the 'terrorists.' The second part is deterring the press," writes @timothysnyder.bsky.social.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Óvænt ánægja að utanríkisráðherra taki svona skýra afstöðu. Nú þegar afstaða stjórnvalda er skýr ætti ekkert að vera því til fyrirstöðu að RÚV beiti sér fyrir brottrekstri Ísraels úr keppninni líkt og var gert með Rússland fyrir 3 árum. 🇵🇸

Það er ekki hægt að taka stéttarvinkil í sundur frá öðrum breytum eins og kyni, þjóðerni, húðlit, kyni, kynhneigð o.s.frv. Það er enginn tilviljun að konur af erlendum uppruna eru t.d. oftast þær tekjulægstu og réttindalausustu í íslensku samfélagi. Það hlýtur að segja sig sjálft.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

What is more morally urgent that stopping the slaughter of men women and children being bombed and starved to death in an open air prison with no where to escape? Funded totally by us tax payers ? It doesn’t make the first 25 hour morality list? expect human beings to swallow this garbage ?

Yep. Similarly, Sri Lanka is still making its way through an IMF bailout after a crash in 2022. We're their largest export market and we just slapped them with a 44% tariff to do what, exactly? Revive our low-end apparel manufacturing? That won't happen. It's just a tax on us and damage to them.

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored
