DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship www.npr.org/2025/06/30/n...

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The United States dutifully obliges, rushing $30m to GHF using an expedited process. @jonathanlanday.bsky.social @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/middle...

A group called 'Saraya Ansar al-Sunna' has claimed responsibility for Mar Elias Church bombing in Damascus. My new post is a translation of the statement & has exclusive information on the group's origins & relation to Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham & Islamic State www.aymennaltamimi.com/p/saraya-ans...

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Today Kenyan civil society organisations have called upon the Kenyan government and the UN security council to take action following our reporting with the Daily Nation. We found Kenyan-labelled ammunition crates in a suspected Rapid Support Forces depot in Sudan. pressrelease.co.ke/news/375

Seems there is a massive phishing campaign targeting users of Interactive Brokers the past few weeks. I'm not a customer so it's easy to tell the mails are fake!

Regime change via bombing appears to be the Israeli strategy. What could go wrong? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.

"Iran doesn't have nukes. Israel does. Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn't. Israel has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country. Israel doesn't." But Israel is the victim? My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmal & ridiculously biased. zeteo.com/subscribe

remember, kids: Israel warns, whereas Iran...

huh almost as if having skilled people in government creates the capacity for dealing with crises even if they don't seem 'necessary' according to idiots feeding documents into AI. who knew

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Charles Breyer (brother of retired SCOTUS justice Stephen) hears arguments on whether to grant California's emergency motion to limit Trump's deployment of the National Guard in LA. 🧵

Gabbard warns of ‘nuclear holocaust’ in ominous social media video, blames "Zelensky, Biden, NATO, congressional and media neocons"...but not Putin?? What a useless unqualified wanker she is www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

"fuck you." "go home." "get the fuck out of here." scenes from the deployment of the american military against americans

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

Trump has federalized at least 2,000 National Guard forces and reportedly plans to deploy troops to Los Angeles over Governor Newsom’s objections. If that happens, it will be the first time since 1965 that a president has sent troops into a state without a state request. 1/19

I don't know anyone who would appreciate this Tennis meme so I will share it here in hopes that someone with get it. 🤣 French Open!!!

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Kerch bridge hit! Over the course of several months, SBU agents mined the supports of the bridge, before detonating 1,100 Kilograms of explosives this morning at 4:44am. Apparently, the bridge is now in a state of emergency

i dont want to be so skeptical of fbi statements on acts of terror but then i have to remember that the current fbi director literally spent years writing donald trump fanfic for children, so yes, im skeptical of everything these days.

If you're in college and can't get access to a paper/book because it's either paywalled or out of print, try finding the author's website or faculty page and emailing them. You will be surprised at how quickly they respond and how many of them will be willing to just email you an electronic copy

welcome to the future, now your error-prone software can call the cops (this is an Anthropic employee talking about Claude Opus 4)

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

If you use something, pay for it! This is your periodic reminder that services and software cost money, even if they are open source and free. The cloud is a trap! You are the product.

As you wake in a lovely, safe bed, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, maybe followed by a nice couple of coffees while reading about Israel's Eurovision success, spare a thought for the death and horror its army is inflicting on countless innocent Gaza families *right now*, and for over 19 months.

Sleep Token's got some incredible music on their latest album. What a hauntingly beautiful and emotional mix of sounds. Excellent production quality! www.youtube.com/watch?v=noWU...

If even GitHub is noticing the rise of ravenous scrapers then the rest of us under-resourced lone sysadmins are screwed. The social contract of the open web is dead. github.blog/changelog/20...
