If you think the US Supreme Court gives a fuck about ordinary AMERICAN CITIZENS, you haven't been paying attention. They only care about their next millionaire-paid boondoggle vacation. Where is it this year, Thomas??

THREE YEARS AND TWO MONTHS IN RUSSIAN CAPTIVITY. And we won't send them missiles.

🇺🇸🗣️ "Hague Summit will be held in an unprecedented atmosphere. The fact that Trump is expected to be absent is a sign not to be mistaken – that the American century is over. At least in Europe. The US is busy with itself," — Per Nyholm Read more 👀⬇️ theukrainianreview.info/the-american...

The only thing I miss on BlueSky is more pro-Palestinian Gaza reporting.

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Excellent piece from an amazing colleague @heidiurben.bsky.social

Bet China's happy it cancelled all those Boeing orders.

Are we to assume that the Supreme Court doesn't perceive any emergency in LA? Because they're certainly not moving as fast as they were to reaffirm DOGE and deportments...

What Trump is doing now with the US military should make #NATO partners even more concerned about them in their midst, especially in combat situations.

Here's why China will dominate: Trump's concession to China in return for rare earth materials (for defense) is to allow Chinese students to continue studying in the US. (Reminder: China turns out TEN TIMES as many engineers each year as the US.) A reverse agreement would have been inconceivable.

Earlier today the news broke that the US was pulling some diplomatic personnel out of Iraq and nearby countries. Now it's come out that Iran just executed a historic hack compromising dozens of terabytes of Netanyahu's private files and Mossad Intel files x.com/DropSiteNews...

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Nothing screams success like sustaining 1 million casualties. Ukraine’s patriotic fight against its invading, fascist, imperialist neighbor will go down in history not only for their heroism, but for the unbreakable will of a people who refused to kneel. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

VERY interesting Silicon Valley take on Trump today, said better than most MSM. (If FT link doesn't work, use link in Guardian piece.) www.ft.com/content/c779... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

President of Romania Nikusor Dan at the Ukraine-Southeastern Europe Summit in Odesa: "Russia is making unreasonable demands,knowing in advance that they cannot be accepted.The only language Russia understands is force,we must do everything we can to help Ukraine negotiate from a position of strength

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Here's a run down of how many U.S. allies died fighting with America in Afghanistan, with an adjustment for population size.
