Jared is correct. Read Theory "Whatever states are today, they are not what they once were—in part because, as Dasgupta chronicles, the state now faces serious competition for center stage in the organization of human society." www.bostonreview.net/forum/climat...

There must be no mercy for the evil Trump Regime. None.

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

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI." But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined. They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.

Iran Red Crescent warns of toxic rain after US-Israeli attacks on fuel depots - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/iran-red-crescent-warns-toxic-rain-after-us-israeli-attacks-fuel-depots

When a school or hospital is bombed, I don't want to hear from military about the success of their objectives. I want to hear from parents and children. I want to hear from doctors and teachers. Their perspective is what matters. That is what needs to shape the masses perspective on war.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

🚨BREAKING: DOJ filed an emergency motion to expedite the 6th Circuit appeal in its effort to obtain Michigan's unredacted voter file before the November election. Claims case "raises an issue of urgency with regard to the security of elections in the US." www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

We need mass feminist media. We need nightly news that takes a feminist perspective. A war breaks out? Children killed? The experts to come on and talk about it are human rights activist, doctors, people from the region, and researchers. NOT CIA and war hawks who refer to babies as collateral damage

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

There's an emergency "Stop the War in Iran" protest kicking off in NYC at 2 pm at Times Square. www.answercoalition.org/iran/ - I'm going to head out. I've also included the list of other protests across the country.

You know, Ukraine has never blown up a school full of little girls. Sometimes an accident is not an accident, especially with countries like the US, Russia and Israel that repeatedly commit the same crimes against children.

Just as Iranians began their workweek on Saturday morning, U.S. and Israeli strikes sent panicked residents of Tehran into the streets and parents racing back to schools where they had just dropped off their children. nyti.ms/4rN74Ri

ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone. She goes out looking for him. "I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

The largest rent strike in a century? The Minnesota unions behind the massive Jan. 23 day of action are now backing a potential rent strike to demand an eviction moratorium. At least 10K could withhold rent starting March 1. Here's what to know (1/6) inthesetimes.com/article/ice-...

Absolutely wild. WSJ reporting that some OpenAI staffers thought the Tumbler Ridge shooter's use of ChatGPT raised the potential of real world violence but leadership decided not to alert RCMP. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre: “I was trafficked to a lot of types of different men — billionaires, royalty… he used me as a form of blackmail so these people would owe him favors.”

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

some of the very real, specific harm perpetuated by Grok and Elon Musk’s nonconensual porn machine: www.404media.co/grok-nudify-...

Our ability to compartmentalize and also to frankly lie to ourselves are survival mechanisms as human beings. Because if we truly let ourselves consider how unhinged this man is and how he could end up blowing everyone up on the planet, we'd never sleep again.

Crockett: "All this administration cares about is protecting the powerful and protecting pedophiles. They will do anything to distract from that, including deciding to put up in the middle of Black History Month the most racist thing that we've ever seen come out of a White House."

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Democrat Christian Menefee has won a Texas U.S. House seat in a special election, narrowing Republicans’ already-slim majority

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

This makes the post-9/11 NSA warrantless surveillance program look like digging through people's trash (which the FBI also did). That caused such a backlash there was still congressional activity on it a decade later. This is absolutely blood-chilling levels of state overreach and so far crickets.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Hospitals in Gaza say Israeli strikes killed at least 12 Palestinians, one of the highest tolls since an October agreement aimed at stopping the fighting.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”
