““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Government punishing individuals & businesses for speech is literally a First Amendment violation. This isn't some "free speech has private sector consequences" situation. This is exactly what the founders were trying to prevent.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

I’m sorry, “the vice president’s mother was a drug addict so we’re allowed to just extrajudicially murder anyone we vaguely handwave as being part of a cartel” is a real argument people are making? in public? under their own names?

TAPPER: Should we expect action in Chicago this week? HOMAN: Absolutely. You can except action in most sanctuary cities across the country.

Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.

This is 100% correct.

Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

Children. Injured children. Blocked from getting treatment and care here because a nutjob grifter who once got banned from Uber for harassing Muslim cab drivers is now arguably more powerful than the Secretary of State.

We have to talk about this also as an insult to the National Guard, who are being used as political props by the President and governors. They signed up to serve their country and their communities, and are now being turned into playthings of a political operation. It’s a slap in the face.

I’m gonna say armed troops from red states descending on a blue city is just a few inches — or maybe one exchange of gunfire — short of a civil war’s opening stages.

Border Patrol agents assembled outside a Los Angeles museum where Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding a rally and news conference on congressional redistricting. Local elected officials expressed outrage that the agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/u...

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

EXCLUSIVE: A DOGE appointee told independent regulators they are expected to “rubber stamp” approvals of new nuclear reactors, three people with inside info told us. The directive comes after Trump said he wants to quadruple the U.S. nuclear power supply by 2050.

They’re eating the files, they’re eating the flight logs, they’re eating the list. 😉

At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

🚨 DON’T LOOK AWAY 🚨 U.S. Professor KIDNAPPED and DISAPPEARED by ICE! He still remains detained. Yesterday a California Faculty Association union leader, Professor Jonathan Caravello, was dragged away by four masked ICE agents while lawfully observing a raid. This is NOT normal.

Kristi Noem must resign now.

Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map, loosening oversight as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain in the years before flood waters swept away children and counselors, a review by AP found. buff.ly/JlzquQZ

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas Fire her. Blood on her hands.

Beshear: "These work requirements really aren't getting people back to work. They are about increasing the paperwork on everybody ... when somebody misses that one box, they are kicked off for six months or more."

My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating floods across Texas—those who have lost loved ones & those still searching. Many of the impacted families are from right here in Dallas. We’re mourning with you and praying for comfort, healing, & peace in the days ahead. TX-30 stands with you.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Last year I purchased one of those "personal computers" IBM has been advertising. Now I've moved on to the latest popular trend: hosting my own "podcast" (an abbreviation for "podular casting"). Anyway, 2 episodes of Kohn's Zone are already up; the next one drops on 7/15: www.alfiekohn.org/podcasts/

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

There’s no floor they won’t drill below

Jeffries: "16 members of the House Republican conference who just a few days ago made clear on the record that they will not support devastating cuts to Medicaid -- all we need are 4 Republicans from this group to join us and we can stop these devastating cuts to Medicaid. Join us!"

These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.
