What the US is doing to Cuba is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a genocide as defined by the United Nations. www.un.org/en/genocide-...

The House passed a bill that will finally allow families on SNAP to purchase rotisserie chicken. Unfortunately, it also cuts the program's funding by $187 billion.

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations. But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority. By @hannahallam.bsky.social

doing this without attaching it to a war powers vote is political malpractice

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy). The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

🔴 New image shows rows of freshly dug graves after US-Israeli school strike on girls’ school in Iran Iran's For. Min. Abbas Araghchi shared an aerial photo showing long rows of freshly dug graves, saying they are for more than 160 girls killed in the US–Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

The lesson, again, is that nuclear proliferation works. We're not bombing North Korea. Just spitballing here, but maybe France should give Iran a nuclear weapon so that America and Israel will stop killing Iranian civilians.

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

Schumer: ball’s in your court Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

A Ron Wyden specialty: sending a letter in public that reveals he's seen some really bad classified shit that he wants an explanation for.

The largest federal employee union - representing workers from TSA to USDA to BOP to Border Patrol - is calling for the resignation of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller www.afge.org/publication/...

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

[wakes up] “I’m sorry, what”

Don't need to imagine, Sinatra had something to say about multicultural liberal democracies 🧵

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

When the Democrats agreed to end the government shutdown in return for a "vote" on an ACA extension... Was the "vote" supposed to be an actual vote on an actual bill, or a vote for cloture (effectively letting it be filibustered)? www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

Maybe it is Netanyahu's long-running corruption that has bitterly divided the country, rather than the due process of law.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Children are starving in Gaza because of Israeli government policies. Hundreds of people from around the world organized a civilian flotilla to try to deliver food. Israel arrested them. The United States must demand the immediate release of all detained Americans.

its hard to imagine a more embarrassing unforced error for the Dems than the "ban TikTok" fiasco. Not only did they alienate youth voters, openly waffle on the First Amendment and let Trump claim to be the defender of "free speech," now they've literally handed the platform to Trump to control

The New York Times is the most influential source of right wing propaganda in the entire world. This shit is just absolutely absurd. We’re going to see our rights gone and be killed because of this newspaper.

www.972mag.com/israel-holoc... America, too, is in dire need of denazification.

It's pretty easy to cancel your Disney+ subscription, and a coordinated, national day of cancellations would send a very clear message about our values as Americans.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

which is true? who can say, we're just a news outlet

This came to me in a vision

This week, Nova brings us one of the worst guys to ever do it, in both senses: evil AND unskilled!

Biomedical research isn't a YouTube video, you cannot hit pause for an indefinite period of time and then hit play whenever the regime wants. Samples are destroyed, labs dismantled, scientists leave...

Remind me why the Dems went back?

Isn’t this what you do when you think the stock market is going to tank? www.nbcnews.com/business/mar...

Watching this video 10 times has significantly improved my mood.

I think that what D.C. is showing us, more than anything, is that ICE, DEA, FBI, DHS, and Secret Service are all a fungible goo of oppression that can be poured Wherever The Leader Wants. So yeah, abolish it all. Until the law exists again, and until that law serves everyone.

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

I still run Windows, Windows 11 now. I tried turning off all the ad shovelware nonsense, but I missed something, on the lock screen. Three boxes with text. And before I can be properly annoyed I can already tell I'm starting to read this dumb crap. "What symbol of freedom sits in New York City?"

This will have to count as my Supreme Court term review. I make that point that there's no point in reviewing what the Supreme Court has done because the rule of law is dead in this country anyway. My latest in @thenation.com

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

ah i sure would like to see an intelligent conversation with a supreme court justice by an informed and perceptive journalist. now to take a big sip of water and open the internet.

I find it peculiar that there's a sales job for "AI intelligent agents", the daft idea that you can give an LLM your credit card and have it run parts of your life safely. 1/

Tell the State Department to free Chris Smalls and other US citizens on board the Handala which was on a mission of mercy to Gaza. X: @StateDept and @SecRubio FB: @U.S. Department of State Instagram: @statedept @secrubio

I swear to fucking god knock this dumb bullshit off and stand against fascism and offer some actual solutions to make peoples lives better or get the hell out of the way for people who will. Just painfully embarassing and infuriating.
