It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

“During the 1st year of this 2nd Trump admin, defenses against […]terrorism have been removed. There are 3 levels of the problem: policies have been changed; leadership is incompetent & experienced personnel are gone; & fiction about immigrants has displaced the actual problem of terrorism.”

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

didn’t have unironically ordering and stocking potassium iodide tablets in our emergency kit on my bingo card folks. it is normal to stay up at night shopping for MREs? 😵‍💫😬

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine. That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Two posts with devastating long-lasting national and international consequences.

The first job postings for the Williamsport, Md. ICE detention warehouse appeared online. The “humanitarian response” firm behind them has never held a federal contract.

Credit to @mattheweadie.bsky.social for breaking the story on Bluesky, so far as I saw:

It should be a much bigger story that oil prices surged because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran, forcing the White House to ease sanctions on Russian oil—only for Russia to take that money and help Iran target American troops.

We've got a new, free Masterclass out now on demand, called Stop Guessing How to Make an Impact: How to Choose the Right Social Justice Focus (Without Getting Pulled Into Every Crisis). If you feel called to take action, but you're not sure how or where, this one's for you! bit.ly/46zxopx

NEW from ProPublica: A trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

"The biggest change took effect in Florida on Sunday, when officials cut off benefits for at least 16,000 residents living with H.I.V." "cut off benefits" sounds like they lost access to Hulu. Call it what it is: "told 16,000 people they no longer get the medication that keeps them alive"

Are we living in an episode of The Simpsons?

Some are calling it "Operation Epstein Fury".

🍿 shit is getting real

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

UNREAL: Trump just pivoted from talking in the White House about the 4 US soldiers killed in Iran war to talking his great new ballroom. And he talked the ballroom for much more time than the dead Americans. This is beyond embarrassing. This is what a sociopath with dementia looks like!

Let's just have a fun, military spectacle in the Middle East. What could go wrong? www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

well shit

Never forget that Trump called dead service members, "suckers and losers."

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Wake up babe. The United States and Israel just bombed schools and killed children.

Fascism views the lives of its soldiers as toys

Literally

Every “extra requirement” is just another hurdle meant to trip voters who already face too many. This isn’t security. It’s selective access dressed up as policy. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

The draft executive order floating around wants to force people to re-register to vote between now and the midterms. Clearly beyond Trump’s authority, and completely pointless unless your goal is to limit turnout

this is really fucking dangerous

failures at every level. just unconscionable and cruel

Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.

If someone’s giving a speech and starts pointing at you and calling you names and accusing you of crimes, your first mistake was showing up, but at that point you can just all leave, too.

dragonfruit. it’s expensive and tastes like nothing, closely followed by red delicious apples which are delicious in name only.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

I certainly won’t be watching but I think everyone will get bingo with this one

As ICE moves to massively expand immigration detention through the purchase of warehouses around the country, the best example of what these places might look like comes from Camp East Montana, which opened in August and now holds over 3,000 people per day in terrible conditions. Read more below!

"The Social Circle city manager was contacted by ICE... “They asked me to turn on the water,” he said of a 1m sq ft warehouse nearby that the government plans to use for locking up as many as 10,000 detainees. “I told them I’m not going to do it,” he said... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

ICE killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a U.S. citizen—and you likely haven’t heard about it because DHS has been covering it up for nearly a year. My heart breaks for his family, who deserve immediate answers and an independent investigation into his death. ICE will be held accountable.

Quakertown, PA police chief Scott McElree putting a teenage girl in a chokehold while not in uniform. The crime? Exercising free speech to speak against ice. You can contact the PD at (215) 536-5002.

Karoline Leavitt and Pam Bondi protecting the Epstein files.

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault. LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith” In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted DOJ keeps lying and losing:

Copies will not work. You need a Certified Originals of all those documents, including a Birth Certificate. Many women are victims of domestic abuse, and had to leave with no chance to get all their documents. If you moved or your name changed, you have to re-register in person.

Thoughts on this? GA and beyond? newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

and I have heard the grid is collapsing due to embargo but media is silent… dark times

Yep. Totally normal, non dictator-y type stuff, for sure
