Bloomberg reports that officials directly involved in an internal Pentagon investigation found that Peter Thiel’s Palantir Maven Smart System played a significant role in the February 28 U.S. strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran.

Someone explain to me how most of what the Trump regime has been doing over the past 18 months has not already been a violation of this. Certainly the move to create a state broadcast TV channel is, but it seems like this line has been crossed already. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/trump-tv-i...

Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

25 years. I was not in NYC that morning but had friends who were, including one who was killed (she was one of so many lives ended too soon that day). I mourn her loss but also mourn that we allowed such a misguided response, based on lies, that killed so many more and caused so much more damage.

Dear media. Once again, I must ask you, for the love of all that's true, to follow a simple guideline: If you are writing a story and your lede is "Trump says (x)", it's not a story. It's almost certainly a lie. Why continue to parrot lies? Do the work and report something resembling truth FFS.

The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.

Japanese scientists have confirmed a monumental discovery: asteroid Ryugu contains all 5 nucleobases essential for DNA and RNA. By analyzing 5.4 grams of material returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, researchers identified adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil in similar proportions.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...
So far, the Democratic Socialists of America's success has been confined in large part to deep-blue city districts. Meanwhile, in suburban areas and in statewide contests establishment Democrats generally are winning against progressive challengers. Chicago saw its own version of this dynamic in March in the hotly contested and crowded race to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th Congressional District. The bomb-throwing influencer Kat Abughazaleh, 27, won the portions of that district in Chicago's North Side lakefront neighborhoods, but suburban votes gave savvy
Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss the win.

Trump purchased up to $5 million in shares of Axon Enterprise just weeks before ICE issued a notice seeking a contract worth up to $220 million for equipment that experts say only Axon is positioned to provide. The White House has said there is “no conflict of interest”. 🙄

On this Father's Day, it strikes me that for my father's many shortcomings and failures, he has given me a gift: a heuristic. Whenever I have a situation and am not sure how I should respond, I ask myself what my father would have done, and then I do the opposite. It's most often the correct choice.

Today is a great day to remind ourselves that our understanding of history is defined by what is kept vs omitted. I didn't remember learning about Juneteenth at all in school, so I went back to a period 1980s US history textbook (The American Pageant) see what it said about 6/19/1865. Not a word.

Statistics from the US BLS used to be generally considered reliable. Not in the last 500 days though. The Trump regime has showed on multiple occasions that data it didn't agree with will be manipulated or withheld. This is why I think the May job numbers are as fake as an orange spray tan.
