"And let us enforce the same rules. When you have a newspaper, you are responsible for what is published in it. When you have a social network, you must be responsible for what is published on it."

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Happy Anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, to all decent people.

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

"After encouraging the conspicuously silent assembly of military leaders to applaud for him if they felt so inclined, Trump laid out a lawless, authoritarian vision for the armed forces, including fighting a 'war from within' against his domestic enemies."

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

New in PN: Trump attempts a major step toward dictatorship "So far, nothing he's done has prompted a critical mass of Republicans to speak out about his abuses of power. And in his address to military brass, Trump signaled he intends to go much further."

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

This.

Following an illegal order is illegal. Helping the president shred the Constitution is unconstitutional. Everyone in the military has sworn an oath to the Constitution, not to this dictator, and the time is coming when our soldiers will have to choose to defy orders to obey their oaths.

I don't know if people -- in general -- know what "authoritarianism" is. I don't know if they really know what "fascism" is. But I think they're far clearer on what a dictator is. Choice of words is very important right now.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

basically everything about this is wrong and horrifying but I'm stuck on the absolute fucking chutzpah you'd need to lecture professional military personnel like this after you personally texted wildly classified war plans to the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic

"There is a strong possibility that there will be no peace process... In this scenario, the catastrophe will continue for the Palestinian people and, in the absence of a viable Palestinian state, Israel’s survival as a Jewish democracy will be under growing strain"

Good mini-thread from @plagasse.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/plag...

Russia has officially withdrawn from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture after Putin signed a law denouncing the treaty. By pulling out, Russia blocks the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture from monitoring its detention facilities.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

This is the shit. IRL participatory civil resistance is *the* thing that every anti-Trump leader should be calling for.

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

Chat, is it a bad sign that we're quoting Beria?

As accusations of genocide in Gaza mount against Israel, NPR looks at how the term is defined legally and why previously reticent scholars have changed their minds.

"War ravaged Portland" today

War-ravaged Portland

This is easily one of the biggest long-term tragedies of the Trump administration. The politicization of federal agencies and the steady erosion of institutional trust won't all just magically be fixed with the next election cycle.

“The country does not want to wake up and look on, with due respect, on Truth Social or X to see what the latest change is in U.S. policy – but wants to get on with what we can control, and that’s a big part of the government strategy.” Yes! Exactly! It’s exhausting.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

🚨🎙️Out now! Season 2, episode 2 of Secure Line, Canada's top national security and intelligence podcast. We're talking about Bill C-2, our "strong borders" bill (that has a lot more than just border stuff in it). Have a read to understand what's at stake. open.spotify.com/episode/3Hp3...

We treat high fevers in the ICU with Tylenol and we don't make patients "tough it out" because that can be dangerous. Hope this helps.

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?” Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’” Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

American politics are so messed up because people look at what’s happening without asking why. It’s pretty simple. The wealth class has shifted Democrats into Republicans for decades and this is just the next stage. None of it is particularly hidden and yet it just isn’t discussed often.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
