How amazing would it be if voters in a state like Alabama just said for once: You know what, Tuberville is just too stupid & racist to be our governor, and all the fake culture war BS he peddles isn’t fooling us this time. I know it will never happen, but it would be refreshing.

Robert Mueller, a Vietnam veteran with a bronze star for heroism, and a purple heart has passed away. Perhaps his biggest honor was trying to save our democracy. I REFUSE to let him be a punchline for our deranged president. Robert Mueller was a hero and may he rest in peace and watch over us. Amen.

It was only a matter of time before the Christian nationalists who duped Catholics into supporting their authoritarian fantasy turned on them. Time to organize an All Saints Day Eucharistic procession with relics and recitation of the Rosary around the Pentagon!

Around 50 Israeli settlers stormed al-Duyuk al-Tahta near Jericho and demolished roughly 15 Palestinian homes and an animal pen, expelling families at gunpoint and looting their belongings, residents told AFP. The attack follows Israel’s security cabinet approving new measures to tighten control over the West Bank and accelerate settlement expansion.

Mustafa Kaabneh said armed, masked settlers arrived alongside an Israeli army vehicle before returning with a bulldozer to level the homes. Bassem Kaabneh said women and children were beaten and families told they no longer had a place there. The Israeli military did not respond to AFP.

Even by the West Bank’s harsh reality, this was unusual: dozens of settlers stormed a neighborhood in Jericho on Wednesday morning, attacked residents, and after they fled, used a bulldozer to demolish 13 buildings. Credit: community residents

If you buy @colinwoodard.bsky.social's thesis in American Nations (and I do), then the Trump Administration's assault on Minnesota, Northern Illinois, and Portland, OR, can be seen as an instance of Deep South aggression against Yankeedom.

The purpose of ICE is to kidnap children and execute Americans in the street. Every politician who funds it, every talk show host or spokesperson who defends it, every employee of the department has blood on their hands that can never be washed off. They will be made to pay for what they’ve done.
