Somehow I missed until just now that Hegseth declared “no quarter” in this conflict sometime back in mid-March (probably because he thought it sounded cool and tough). Quoted post unrelated

Your professors care about you, even if the administration does not. The sentiment yesterday at Boston University as community protested BU leaders who removed Pride Flags from faculty windows. Proud of my colleagues and students. @aaup.org #TerrierCourage www.bostonglobe.com/video/2026/0...

The U. of Washington stripped its Director of Middle East Studies of his position for writing an email that said “Israeli actions tell us that they seek the destruction of the state, not just its ruling class” and that Iran had not been pursuing nuclear weapons. In other words, for stating facts.

"oh so you're a socialist but you think rich people should get free healthcare!?!" yes. everyone should get free healthcare. EVERYONE. like, this isn't hard. also celebrities are starting gofundmes and athletes coming out of retirement to get health care! this system sucks for everyone!

Amid national surge in constitutional challenges to ICE detention, Mississippi cases remain undecided Hundreds of people being held by federal immigration officials in a rural Mississippi county have been waiting months for a judge to consider their arguments to be set free.

What does it tell us that the first impulse of those in power to a decrease in fossil fuel supply is to find ways to subsidise it even more? The fact that they can't bring themselves to say we need to burn less petroleum is why they need to be replaced for good

Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM. She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group. She was a walking, talking conflict of interest at the DOJ.

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

I cannot begin to express the degree to which the ancient Polynesian Lapita people who spread through the Pacific over *vast* distances into the unknown deserve more recognition for what they did.

so let’s get this straight: they can’t force the strait of hormuz open and they can’t take out Iran’s missile arsenal and so the plan is to fire all the black people and women and do a bunch of war crimes in the hopes that they’ll give up the greatest fighting force in the world, everyone

So Pam Bondi is out, but did you see this maple syrup scandal in Canada? 🇨🇦 🍁

wow, looks like a rough patch for stocks AND bondis

Did you know that there is one group of Americans who are not entitled to birthright citizenship? People born American Samoa are classified instead simply as “U.S. nationals” — and as a result they cannot vote or run for office anywhere else in the country. Much more here, for anyone curious:

Breaking: The president has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern our elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him; we won. A year later, he has tried again. He can expect the same result. 1/2

For years, markets have feared a crash. Now, the U.S. war with Iran — and the resulting surge in energy prices — could finally set the dominoes in motion for a full-blown collapse.

Hey all, we still have a limited number of these charming stickers left over from our last Romancing the Vote. In honor of SCOTUS fuckery on today, the Trans Day of Visibility, we'd like to offer you the chance to get one. (Thread continues.)

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Having workers who do nothing for some of the day is a good thing and a sign that your hiring and staffing practices are correct: how else would they be able to handle peak periods? If your employees are constantly busy, you are understaffed.

No matter how much it's talked about, it's still not talked about enough that the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether the words in the 14th amendment mean what the words in the 14th amendment mean.

Their "attie" uses Claude, which, like all "ai" involves a huge data center Tell me how you're addressing this concern, when they ALL involve using & depleting vast resources And also, how about how Claude only exists because Anthropic scraped (stole) everyone's "data" without getting permission

Your occasional reminder that no party or politician “gave” you anything, especially not your rights. A lot of working class people fought, bled, and died for them. A lot of powerful people, including your “party,” fought against them until they saw a personal advantage.
