Concerning the U.S. has yet to learn that the Iranian regime is not made of "papier-mâché", one wildcard that Mr. Boroujerdi does not account for is Trump's megalomania. I fear that POTUS may nuke Iran. Media discourse should not leave this option off the table. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/o...

Opinion | This Is What My Father’s Assassination Taught Me About the War in Iran (Gift Article)

‘Humanity is a privilege’: Umar Khalid on his six years in an Indian jail without trial
Exclusive: Activist tells of his life as one of India’s most prominent political prisoners and his opposition to the government of Narendra Modi Prison is hardest at sunset. As the thousands of prisoners incarcerated in Delhi’s most infamous jail are cast out of their cells and forced into the dank yard until darkness falls, prisoner number 626714 feels the punishing dread begin to rise. Yet the inmate – better known as Umar Khalid – was recently moved to discover that another political prisoner, exiled at a camp thousands of miles from India, wrote of the very same feeling more than 150 years ago.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

If we believe in int'l law, ICC member states should strengthen cooperation and enforcement, especially when Security Council vetoes accountability. Democracies Japan, Canada, Australia, Brazil lead a Rome Statute Cooperative Council (RSCC) to uphold equal standards. No country is above the law.

Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kids’ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago: "The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting." In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

We're seeing possibly the worst attendance in history. Even in creative writing classes, where students generally want to participate and have their voice heard--they're not showing up, ignoring guidelines and feedback, and either describing expectations as "unclear" or simply refusing to comply.

The image is of a poem I wrote today in support of Palestine. The poem is called Manifest Destiny. It is written by me, Brett Drugge. Here is the poem: The Monarch 
paragliding
in front of me today
down the Balboa Island sidewalk
in its stop-and-start path 
left behind this poem
in its butterfly wake 
whose effect 
will ripple around the world 
and result 
in the end of genocide 
in Gaza.
