Like many of you, I had the audacity to not look at my phone for like a few hours(?!) to go live our fucking lives and came back to discover we were at fucking war. Again. How many times do we have to learn this fucking lesson??? How many generations of American kids and foreign citizens? How many?🤬

We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

BASEMENT FILMS: “Most of all we would like to thank the doctors/contributors/survivors… and to apologize for not believing them BBC would never run a film like this. Turns out they were right.” BBC just shelved a doc about Gaza doctors. 🤔 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

In May, I went to Cambridge Bay for @thenarwhal.ca with @gjohnjournalism.bsky.social to hear what residents think about a geoengineering experiment happening in their backyard. It was a journalist's dream trip. I'm so pleased to share the article, out today on National Indigenous Peoples' Day.

My very apolitical friend just said to me ‘No one f*cks with North Korea. Why do you think that is?’ Yep. There’s a clear message for a lot of Global South and Middle Eastern countries tonight. Sadly. And it isn’t a nonproliferation message.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians Literally thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

this is as good as turning the Constitution off. If this is what congressional leaders are going to do when an executive just seizes power from the legislative branch, we do not have one.

This 2-minute clip contains so much YIKES that I'm surprised the Boston harbor didn't spontaneously turn into tea as the Liberty Bell formed another crack. The federal government cannot remove a state or local leader. Detaining a sitting Senator on top of that is mind-bogglingly wrong.

BREAKING: A fucking ICE agent rammed into a car full of U.S. citizens—then fled the scene. LAPD confirms it. This wasn’t a routine stop. This was state-sanctioned racial profiling turned felony hit-and-run. ICE is operating like a gang now. Where’s the accountability?

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Concepts like "remigration" emerge for a mix of reasons. For some actors, a rigid ideological prism shapes every move. Others simply recognize that embracing particular policies or rhetoric brings them more power. Both cases are dangerous, in that what's unleashed will not remain under their control

They want to kill the "engine for social mobility" because they believe denying people college education helps keep them in power while the wealthiest among us have decided wealth is a zero sum game. Education brings income gains, which means you’re taking money that belongs to Trump, a real no no.

Casar: "The only way to push back on this is for Democrats to be really clear that if we win back a majority, we aren't just going to let bygones be bygones. We have to go and investigate who paid Trump, who paid Musk, who made money off of these pardons because that is really serious."

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.
