Trump’s ‘racist hate speech’ and migration crackdowns violate human rights, UN panel says www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Experts in international and U.S. domestic law told an inter-American human rights organization on Friday that the Pentagon’s campaign of blowing up boats it suspected of smuggling drugs in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean was illegal.

Trump - who, personally, is why we are sinking in Iran - rejects his way out: ceasefire talks Because he's an amateur loser Per @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Solidarity with @kschake.bsky.social. The US military gains nothing from this systematic banning of scholars. It snacks of fear of facts- another sign that there is a design of ideological indoctrination.

An important thread. But something is missing. The refusal of Republicans to hold Trump accountable AND ALSO to exercise the least little responsibility on confirmations would have mitigated this risk. Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis, Murkowski and Collins all KNEW Whiskey Pete would push war crimes.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

The thread as a shareable webpage: https://skywriter.blue/@chrismurphyct.bsky.social/3mh22exlc3c2o

Bushra should have dropped out of this race. Now she's being used by a AIPAC to try to get Fine or Biss elected. Hope this was worth it for her to come in 4th place in the primary or whatever.

He is begging like a dog, one might say. This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.

Not so long ago, hugging Hitler was one of those lines you just didn’t cross. But that’s what’s been happening with increasing regularity, revealed by a recent string of unhinged text chains among young Republicans. Read @johnavlon.bsky.social commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatens broadcast licenses over Iran War coverage

I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...

Love how that dolt Bianco describes this as some sort of planning failure by the U.S. military. Sorry, no, the failure here belongs entirely to the Trump admin: they thought this would be an easy win, it's not, and there are no good plans for opening the Strait, only different types of bad plans.

Like telling ICE agents you aren't mad?

Trump last year, after taking over the Kennedy Center: "We're going to get the best talent in the world." The talent:

“.. The conditions are not very much conducive” to diplomacy now, Fidan said. The Iranians “feel betrayed” because for a second time they were attacked while in active negotiations with the U.S. over their nuclear program, he said .. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/turk...

This thread -- & the thread it links to, & @jamellebouie.net's original insight -- are super-important to understand. To the average Ivy-educated, DC-centric journalist, the MAGA base is almost entirely theoretical. They don't know any genuine MAGAts, they just construct a Noble Savage imaginary.

Practically overnight, Americans took an ancient vice and made it available on everyone’s phones, @mckaycoppins.bsky.social reports. He examines the unsettling suddenness with which gambling has come to permeate every nook and cranny of American life:. theatln.tc/Jxl7ryUR

This is a good moment to note the power of the right wing media. It would make sure that if Hunter Biden were doing .000001% of this, every democrat alive who got within 10 feet of a microphone we have to answer for this kind of corruption, with actual follow-up questions.

Got this from journalist Amber Wood. “You guys need to understand that he is psychotic,” Epstein warned. We all know it. Who will stop him?

I learned this morning that I received Rev. Jesse Jackson's personal endorsement before he passed. I'm deeply moved and honored to have his trust and support, and I will work day and night to carry on his legacy for the people of Illinois when I get to the United States Senate.

SCOOP. From my OUR LAND newsletter: Trump's DOJ is helping to get a convicted FBI informant tied to Russian intelligence out of prison. The lie this guy told the FBI—Joe Biden took a $5m bribe from Burisma—was the main evidence for the GOP impeachment drive. 1/2 link.motherjones.com/public/44694...

⚡️UPDATE: 18 injured in Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia. The number of people injured in Russia's guided bomb attack on Zaporizhzhia has risen to 18, Governor Ivan Fedorov said. The March 14 attack targeted a residential neighborhood, destroying several homes.

This war is going so well

On Tuesday, there's a special election for a state House seat in PA that Trump won by 33 points. But Stephen Caruso of @spotlightpa.org says Dems are "cautiously optimistic." Would be a stunning win that would finally pad Dems' 1-seat margin after 3+ years x.com/StephenJ_Car...

Still love Michael Harriot's article on skeletal racism. www.theroot.com/racist-bone-...

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

Adjectives fail. Above Tuscon AZ, the strength of the predicted upper-level high (big red blob at left) is typical for late June. In late May, it would be record-breaking early. The European model ensemble suggests a high this strong (and hot) will arrive next week, around the first day of spring.

They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage

…Ayman Ghazaleh of Dearborn Heights, Michigan… Today he drove his vehicle into the Temple Israel. Before he attacked the Synagogue, he posted photos of family members in Lebanon killed in a recent Israeli air strike on WhatsApp. www.newsweek.com/west-bloomfi...

The takes on this are going to be... less than stellar, I'm sure Temple Israel synagogue suspect's family recently killed in air strike share.google/WaeFpZafMFsC...

Apparently the man who rammed his car into the West Bloomfield synagogue lost his two kids in Lebanon to an Israeli air strike. Synagogues are not Israel. That is not an excuse. Just absolutely horrible and heartbreaking. This situation should never have happened. These kids should still be alive.

"Hurt people hurt people. A week earlier, an airstrike killed his niece and nephew... Imagine there was no war in Iran. Imagine if there were no airstrikes in Lebanon. Imagine if his family had never died. Imagine there was never an attack on Temple Israel. That's the world that we want to live in."

www.propublica.org/article/faa-... Heather Vogell, ProPublica Agency once said that pieces of space debris “pose a significant risk,” but the Trump admin has backed off a rule that would have required companies like Musk’s SpaceX to remove rocket parts from orbit within 25 years of launch

Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Yesterday, the NM DOJ began its investigation at Zorro Ranch. Why did the FBI tell NM to drop its case in 2019? Who asked them to do so and why?  That’s why this new investigation is so important. Survivors have waited too long for justice, and NM is leading the way.

The EPA proposed Friday to weaken air pollution limits on a chemical used to sterilize medical equipment, a move that would reverse a Biden administration finding of high cancer risks at manufacturing facilities that use ethylene oxide to clean medical devices. https://to.pbs.org/4bbDDT6

That’s the incorrect spelling of ‘Climate change’

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...

Arrest quotas Palantir selected “targets” No warrants Random detainments Despicable
