ICE inspectors in February found 49 violations to detention standards at Camp East Montana, including failure from staff to"accurately document required checks to prevent significant self-harm and suicide." n.pr/4sa0F1S

one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.

"Roughly 50% of Iran’s missile launchers are still intact and thousands of one-way attack drones remain in Iran’s arsenal despite the daily pounding by US and Israeli strikes against 12,300 military targets over the past five weeks, according to recent US intelligence assessments"

We have a very simple solution to universal programs benefiting the wealthy. You claw back the money through taxes on the back end. Everyone has known this for 100 years, but people get to pretend they don’t when it’s convenient for their ideology.

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

Which is part of why I am sharing the types of pieces I do here. To help folks see the stories our society has tended to ignore. The stories that don’t get coverage, or get sloppy, both sides coverage to drive advertising dollars, not convey how things actually are in our communities.

The US Department of War Crimes.

We are doing double tap strikes now?

Red Lobster: Fuck It, We Ball

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

For posterity, could add some “see how in the U.S. Armed Forces’ laws of armed combat it offers examples a war crimes so apparent that they’re unambiguously illegal and exactly what the law seeks to prevent? OK. Now watch this recoding.”

If there’s ever a tribunal it will be really short. “We have on the record here the defendant saying multiple times that they will ‘utterly destroy their country’ and that there are no rules of engagement. The prosecution rests.”

Deliberately attacking civilian infrastructure without apparent military value is a war crime. Shouldn't be surprising since America elected a war crimes advocate, who in his first term pardoned convicted war criminals, and in his second made the public champion of those war criminals SecDef.

Spain. France. Italy. Austria. @reuters.com

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.

Al Jazeera

this should go to the ICJ as part of israel's Genocide case it is clearly established this is their MO its clearly intentional to kill Aid workers

it's never "meet the liberals pushing for nuremberg 2.0" is it?

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

break them

congratulations to trump and bibi for starting a war and immediately making the iranian regime the strongest and richest it has been in its entire history incredible, world-historic geopolitical fuckup

A deliberate, symbolic strike on civilian infrastructure with no case for military utility. As clear cut as LOAC violations come.

He's already reached paranoid fuhrer mode time.com/article/2026...

wow, looks like a rough patch for stocks AND bondis

hmm

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Over just the last few days, we’ve moved from public social media threats to commit war crimes if Iran doesn’t reopen the Strait, to the suggestion that the US actually wins if Iran controls all passage through the Strait when the “war” is over, which of course is already weeks overdue.

This interview with Ronald McNair’s brother, and the story of a 9-year-old future astronaut walking a mile to a whites only segregated library to read, always gets to me. www.npr.org/2011/01/28/1...

I think one really cool thing about our return to the moon is that we just have vastly better cameras now

Red States: We are canceling all programs that don't support our theology. Blue States: We're canceling all the same programs, but because they don't support our business school.

i liked the other sundowning guy, the one who ended the war, everyone got mad

LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.

One of my faves

I mean, I think the truth is worse and darker: Iran's leaders and the Iranian people find themselves essentially in the vice-grip of a mad god: Trump acts without reason or sense or moral concept, but he can at a whim inflict terrible death and suffering upon them and does so. More or less at random

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

Since the New Deal, the right edge of the conservative movement has been committed to the goal of eliminating all facets of the federal government that do good in the world, leaving behind only a war machine and a surveillance operation capable of containing the “internal leftist enemy.”

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.

Great speech, dude.

maybe i'm imagining it but haven't we had this headline a few times from axios in some form

i think at some point during the mission trump is going to realize artemis II is another apollo 10 and get mad they're not touching down and if we're lucky no one will stop him from tweeting about how the astronauts are losers

In 5 days, the crew will be further away from Elon Musk than anyone else has ever been. Goosebumps!

"When should we schedule this pointless primetime presidential speech that offers no new developments and no news? The calendar is wide open." "Uh, how about April Fool's Day?" "Perfection." (finger guns)

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

🚨 Johnson backed down. Read between the lines, they're going to pass the Senate bill and try to fund ICE and CBP in reconciliation, which is going to be a mess. If they fail, I wouldn't expect any ICE/CBP funding for the next 3 years.

The United States should abolish the presidency and become a parliamentary democracy

Guys relax, the reason Trump is just repeating old shit he's already said is simply because the leader of the free world's brain doesn't work anymore

As someone who feels like I am moving at a snail's pace right now--compared to being able to write two books and a novella or two a year a decade ago--you might wonder, have I ever been tempted to even think about using AI to speed the process up? The answer is not even fucking slightly.
