The illegal sanctions against #ICC staff should worry the entire international legal community. The Trump administration’s actions are so obviously breaking international law, it is shocking.

The US Constitution is clear, The Supreme Court can suckit. They only get a say when the Constitution isnt clear.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government. Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

I don't think the administration's murder of folks that happen to be on "drug-boat"-ish vessels will lead to much in the way of legal consequences but everyone who objects should still expend every effort to make that happen. Giving up would be as big a betrayal of the rule of law.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "When I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany."

This week, the Trump administration released the public-facing version of the long-awaited National Security Strategy document. The document is a far-right fever dream - and every bit as radical as Zeteo reported it would be. Our political team explains the NSS: zeteo.com/p/trump-nati...

Side note on this: his being old and in incredibly poor health is, I think, causing some people to think they can outlast him. Thing is once fascism entrenches, it’s extremely hard to dislodge it, regardless of who the titular head is. AND, in the U.S., wealthy elites basically never die.

Gavin Newsom is wrong, we need to tax the rich. There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion. The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion. The Democratic Party must stand for something.

The entire military brass best get their 💩 together. The (p)Resident will toss each & every one of them directly under the proverbial bus. Don't follow illegal orders! END this regime, ASAP. It's the ONLY way to save yourselves!

Admiral Frank Bradley will be forever remembered as a war criminal. He made a choice.

Bradley must be prosecuted and convicted. He is a murderer.

That fucker needs to be courtmartialed. Pronto.

It’s funny how Elon Musk has no problem with Chinese regulation, which is much stricter than European regulation. Have you ever seen him call for the abolition of the CCP?

They hit a nursery.. death toll expected to rise.. a nursery, killing, at least, 33 children #KeepEyesOnSudan

I am happy to pay $30 a year for USPS Prime, which delivers mail daily to my home

⬇️ Fortunately the US fixed the problem of women losing citizenship upon marriage to a non-citizen (see article by @vsapiro.bsky.social), and equality in nationality was eventually included as a principle in CEDAW, but it’s still surprisingly widespread Let’s not go back to those days 🤬

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

Excellent reporting from @charliesavage.bsky.social and @julianbarnes.bsky.social starting with the "plain reality" that there was no warship, and no fighting going on, in the Sept. 2 strike, or any of them: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/u... 1/2

This is the big story: 1) The President ordered a killing campaign outside of the law. 2) He got OLC to make up a fake war to justify killing real people. 3) And he got the military to carry out the killings. Purporting to justify those killings is aiding in covering up that plain reality 👇 2/2

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Take it to the Supreme Court! It's unconstitutional.

Past time. Thanks.

Thank you, Congressman @shrithanedar.bsky.social! As a constituent of yours from Detroit, I appreciate and support your move

Cruelty and blackmail. That was the business model. I wonder what's going on in Mar a lago.

Schumer gets new more manly glasses, raises his voice on one or two words to make you think he's angry and, god forbid, might Do Something. (on The Last Word last night.) Hakeem Jeffries gets a new not-square hand flourish so you might think he's really emotional. The Democratic Party is fried.

Gavin Newsom was/ is tight with the Getty billionaires. Never Gavin Ever for President He has no core.

Six of the Supreme Court justices are actually criminals for taking away our rights.

The literal insanity that suffuses the Trump administration is spreading. It is poison. No one is stopping it. That's why Trump picked all his people.

I believe Sen Mark Warner said it was not classified. Im going to listen to that The Last Word hour from last night & find that, if I can. Jim Hines also wants it out.

Get the abolition of Citizens United on your state's next vote. Citizens United - passed by Supreme Court to legalize corruption in funding politicians - must be stopped! Citizens United brought us the Great Inequity. Billionaires and corporations must be taxed back to control them. We must.

Via @rbreich.bsky.social, the one way to combat Citizens United's horrific impact ("corporations are people") that's not a Constitutional mountain to climb... Hint: It can be solved by power we have at the state level. ✅ Need to get cracking... 🧾 robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

The administration has plummeted into sheer madness. Hegseth just killed 4 people because a twitter fan asked him to. Trump is bored & falling asleep & no one will wake him up. 7 Supreme Court justices are taking away our rights - they themselves are criminals. And so much more like these.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

“What have I done!” 🤡

Every elected Republican was a united front opposing and criticizing everything Obama did for 8 straight years, even if it was a policy they fundamentally agreed with. Why. In the fuck. Is it asking too much for Democrats to do the same with a legitimate fascist?

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

A fair trade off: extreme weather, species extinction, loss of habitable land, and more disease in exchange for bringing back the Woody. Hooray.

he believes that if they die they were meant to die and that those that live are the fittest

A Bethlehem Municipality driver was attacked by Israeli forces near the entrance of Al-Minya village, southeast of Bethlehem.

Yes. I posted this on another site last night

When I taught at Macalister, I told my students they'd all get As unless they proved they didn't want one by not showing up, not participating, not engaging with the material. I cared that their writing IMPROVED, not that it started out great. (Also, I'd love to teach again if you want to hire me.)

My hot take is that I don't give a fuck if someone without disabilities gets an accommodation. They get a slightly better grade on a test? Tests are just part of a grade or portfolio and also, who FUCKING CARES. I care that a disabled person isn't *penalized* for needing more time.

Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian farmland near the outpost established on the lands of Atara, north of Ramallah.

None are approved by the FDA for any indication.

As I posted earlier, this campaign is similar to panic about "boys in girls' sports" and, as commenters pointed out, "welfare queens"—and refugees! And DEI! Conservatives try to use outlier scenarios to stoke resentment and suspicion about any system that extends benefits to marginalized people.

During my PhD i kept coming across this number about the maximum grid penetration for renewables. So, I started to dig. Tracing back what references I could. Never found a single analytical or empirical basis for it. It appeared to have sprung from thin air based on some engineers' intuition.

Every conversation with my hardcore open-source modeling colleagues: Me: How should we handle referencing for this new paper Colleague: Simple. Get the snorglefarx file and pipe it to my gorgle instance where it will be turned into jabloey syntax. Me: Are you having an aneurysm or am I?

(to be clear, they are on the chopping block. The hatchet has yet to swing, the process of swinging the hatchet involves committees and consultations and unions and stuff. Then they're allowed to unilaterally swing that hatchet.)
