Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran. popular.info/p/deeply-con...

the US once again sending the message loud and clear: never negotiate, just get nukes. Never compromise, just get nukes. Never give in to sanctions, just get nukes. what could go wrong

Anyone checking in on Maureen Dowd?

Anthropic: "Look, we need the contracts, but we cannot allow our service to be used to violate the US Constitution or power automated weapons that could kill millions. When it comes down to it, we love this country too much to be involved in its downfall." OpenAI: "We'll do it!"

Highly recommend. Sam puts on GREAT events. And this one benefits a great cause.

Italy is urging its citizens to leave Iran immediately and avoid the wider Middle East.

Make Offal Great Again

Well that’s not good.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

First Ex Prince Andrew. Now, the Prince of Darkness!

I think we found out why Donald Trump is so obsessed with Greenland.

Highly recommend! I think I’ve attended them all.

This one hits hard.

Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."

I imagine Merrick Garland is shaking his head in horror at the arrest of The Pedophile Formerly Known as Prince Andrew.

Two superstars putting on a super workshop!

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

As they should. Well, US. Well done.

Nothing going on here... "Saudi Crown Prince says Jared Kushner handed him US intelligence" Jared Kushner asked for more intelligence documents than anyone else in the Trump White House - now we know why. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

One of the people involved in that whistleblower complaint against DNI is Jared Kushner. "The allegations in the conversation about Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, would be significant if verified, according to U.S. officials familiar with its contents." Gift link www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

TOMORROW! The Rise, third volume in the Tales From The Gulp, arrives on Friday 13th. It's all been leading to this. There's never been a better time to visit the dark and strange harbour town of Gulpepper. Locals call it The Gulp, as it has a habit of swallowing people. #WelcomeToTheGulp #Booksky

Norms aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

Massie: "What's happened it seems is that the US attorneys and/or the FBI have redacted documents, given them to the DOJ, and then the DOJ hasn't done their diligence to go get the original documents."

simply one of the greatest calls of all time

Now subtract the ICE hires.

BREAKING: Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on Super Bowl Sunday to make it clear they will not "move on." "Stand With Us. Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT'S TIME FOR THE TRUTH."

That highly classified whistleblower report Tulsi Gabbard covering up? Guardian reports it’s an NSA intercept of a call between a close Trump associate and “an individual associated with foreign intelligence.” Sounds similar to Trump’s campaign chair meeting Russian intel and sharing data in 2016.

To which Harp responded:

OK, *ongoing* thread of books to read on Palestine. Some recent, some not at all so recent.
