Three days: sanctioning the international criminal court, announcing that the firing-squad execution of NH will be live-streamed, investigating the WH press on bogus antitrust charges, searching IO’s home on transparently pretextual immigration charges, financing Putin, jettisoning Zelensky.

F this noise. Trump saying the leader of a sovereign nation should be replaced means exactly nothing. It deserves no media attention.

ICE has already force-fed hunger strikers. The UN says that as torture and it truly is. If you've had a nasogastric tube in a medical context, you know how horribly painful it is. If not done properly/with care, it can also cause severe injury/death. TORTURE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Three commissioners who met with data center developer Diversified Capital under an NDA are running for reelection. These officials have not been transparent with the public about the ICE detention center or data centers, two massive developments that will have enormous impacts on the community.

We all know he doesn't like losers. Just as congressional Repubs can't wash off the stink of supporting Trump, Trump is now having to deal with the fact that he can't disassociate himself from a pack of loser candidates (though he'll certainly try, like here).

Two things can be true at once. This loophole in the law should absolutely be closed. AND the underage/excess drinking/drug use that is tolerated as part of fraternity and sorority culture needs to be stamped out, not winked at or excused.

The frequency of pedestrians being killed by drivers is really shocking. More people should know. It has made me exercise extra caution when behind the wheel, especially at night and at crosswalks.

Two things can be true at the same time and they are this: Dominique Pelicot is an obvious example that the underlying problem is by no means anything uniquely American, but also, as someone who didn't grow up in America, I found US college drinking culture incomprehesible, shocking, and abhorrent.

We tolerate gun culture, so we keep getting Sandy Hooks and Uvaldes. We tolerate fraternity/sorority culture in which rampant alcohol and drug abuse is a feature, and so we keep getting horrific incidents like the Cornell rape. Time to end it.

This is great. I have seen an opera and a ballet from the cheap seats -- the very back row -- at the Kennedy Center, as well as free shows there. Here's hoping the KC can do something similar with free tickets in the future, when we restore it and the country to what it should be.

That should be Dems' message in every red state: "You've voted Republican your whole life. Your state government has been led by Republicans your whole life. And across America, you get worse outcomes in education, income, health, & wellbeing. It's not a coincidence. It's because of Republicans."

For nearly 40 hours, residents in Frederick watched an ICE operation unfold in their neighborhood — one that turned violent and included attempts to intimidate those who spoke up. Marylanders care about their neighbors. There is no place for ICE's cruelty in our communities.

Biggest focus, rightly so, is on people struggling with the cost of basic necessities. But people who are better off are worrying about seeing what looked like a solid financial foundation built over a lifetime being swept away.

Five C-17s delivered King Donald the Mad’s Secret Service motorcade to Ireland: Cadillac SUVs, anti-drone systems, assault vehicles and emergency equipment – all for a 2-day trip including the Irish Open at his own Doonbeg golf resort. And US taxpayers pick up the bill for his private event.

Worth pointing out that nearly every day, missing people are found WITHOUT the use of mass surveillance cameras. Same with crime suspects. We do not need our every move policed by Flock and other surveillance systems owned by private companies.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”
