United Airlines has resumed its practice of shipping military material to Israel on civilian passenger flights. This raises very serious concerns that United could be complicit in violations of intl law committed by Israel in Gaza, Lebanon, and elsewhere theintercept.com/2026/09/09/u...

When the US invaded Afghanistan, public opinion was overwhelmongly in favor and it was widely seen as absurd to condemn both the Taliban and the campaign to oust them

There is possibly no example more perfect of the "Democrats would rather lose to Republicans than win with leftists" argument than Nevada in 2024, where this quite literally happened, and the combo of this poster's name and confident ignorance in not realizing this is just chefs kiss dot GIF

I'm glad Nevada kick the DSA out.

DSA literally took control of the Democratic party there and ruined everything. Democratic party went back to normie-Dems...GOOD!!!

Leaders around the world are banking on tech advances to solve climate change. One leading idea involves capturing carbon pollution from the air and then burying it underground forever. It sounds practical. Here’s why there's no conceivable way it can work: (THREAD)

It is pretty wild to see Zionists freak out about this article when, in 2024, there was a large "right to rape" protest in Israel. The protest succeeded in making the prosecution drop charges, and one of the perpetrators is now a star on Israeli reality TV.

Israeli protesters rally for ‘the right to rape’ prisoners
Protesters, politicians and TV commentators in Israel are defending the right of soldiers to mistreat and even rape Palestinian prisoners in detention. The show of support follows the gang rape of a male detainee by a group of Israeli reservists.

The US budget has been trending this way forever but the new proposed budget takes 80% of your federal income tax and gives it to men with guns -- the Pentagon, weapons contractors, ICE agents, veterans of war. A society made by the use of fear and force. A people disgusted and resisting.

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

The answer is "yes," as shown even before the Iran war by Operation Rough Rider and Operation Southern Spear. In April 2025, the military gladly blew up Ras Issa fuel port and Saada migrant detention center, and from September–December 2025 killed 87 people in strikes on 23 civilian vessels.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Israel has not “dragged the United Stares into war.” An elite faction of the United States that identifies intensely with the interests of Israel has, with the complaisance of other factions, launched an aggressive war. Israel figures heavily into Washington’s motives but the difference matters.

I’m old enough to remember when our leaders came up with semi-coherent arguments to start wars. You could refute the arguments and at least feel like there was a chance you might persuade someone. It wasn’t good, but this is worse. . . .

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

What's missing? The public. Decisions about whether AI can surveil American citizens or autonomously deploy lethal force are being settled in a contract dispute. No Congress. No democratic deliberation. No accountability. We've outsourced questions about the use of force to a corporate negotiation.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Trump has been trial ballooning the bombing of Venezuela and abduction of Maduro for months and this is the kind of "push back" he has gotten from the top Dem leadership. Interview from 12/10/25.

Tapper: Do you disagree with President Trump's ultimate goal of regime change in Venezuela?

Schumer: Look, the bottom line is President Trump throws out so many different things in so many different ways. You don't even know what the heck he's talking about. You know, obviously, if Maduro would just flee on his own, everyone would like that. But we don't know what the heck he's up to when he talks about that. So, it's very, very, you cannot say I endorse this, I endorse that when Trump is all over the lot, not very specific and very worrisome at how far he might escalate.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Chart showing detention population, among those arrested in the interior, by criminal record, May 2019 through present.

There are three lines shown. (1) Prior conviction (which rises from around 9,000 in January 2025 to just over 16,000 in November 2025), (2) Pending criminal charges (which rises from around 5,000 to 15,000), and (3) No criminal record (which rises from around 1,000 to 21,000).
