Sen Chris Van Hollen & Rep Sara Jacobs have sponsored legislation to limit sales of weaponry to the Emirates as long as it arms the RSF. As Nick Kristof says, "It may be that all we need to do to avert atrocities in Sudan is to speak up."

“Blame Aphrodite, not me.”🤩

What, to the descendant of slaves, is your America 250?

The Supreme Court asked the wrong questions in today’s gun case. They asked “why shouldn’t drug users have guns?” Instead of “why should drug users go to jail?” My latest in @thenation.com

Water is life.

Sherrilyn Ifill explains why the 14th Amendment is, "if properly enforced, the most powerful tool we have to stave off the total collapse of democracy in this country."

Tough read. Op-ed by Nicholas Kristof, reporting from the West Bank. "How does this kind of violence happen? ... The blunt reality is that when there are no consequences, we humans are capable of immense depravity toward those we are taught to scorn as subhuman."

Sherrilyn Ifill reminding us, "No democracy can survive if tens of millions of its citizens refuse to fight to protect it because they 'don’t do politics.'”

1.62 million acres have already burned in 2026--231% above the 10-year average. Executive Orders closing every regional office governing the Forest Service, eliminating 57 research facilities, & destroying infrastructure that protects our public lands. Do your favorite outdoor brands speak out?

The POTUS enjoys negative attention, thrives on it, loves every minute of the anger & outrage & terror he instills in our hearts. He won't stop until he's impeached. And neither would his successors. What a damned mess. People are protesting in DC this evening. 🙏🏽

I wish he would put John Roberts and them in the skit.

I don't know what to say about the birthright citizenship "controversy" being heard by SCOTUS tomorrow except that it is a white supremacist halleucination.

The US Endangered Species ‌Committee meets today to consider exempting oil and gas drillers operating in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act. The Committee's nicknamed the "God Squad," and hasn't met in 30 years till today. Photo: One of the 100 Rice's whales still alive (NOAA)

We are the guinea pigs for big tech. And it wasn't nice to experiment on guinea pigs. Tim Marple, a former OpenAI employee, believes that users' experiences of suffering from delusion etc. aren’t just coincidences but a “statistical certainty."

✊🏽🫶🏽💐Happy Harriet Tubman Day!!!💐🙌🏽🙏🏽

Camp East Montana was the site of an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II. Today, in a ***horrifying display of non-repentence***, the US government holds around 3,000 people there in harsh conditions: They lack sufficient food and often go without proper medical care.

Troops “report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders” about a “biblically-sanctioned war that is clearly the undeniable sign of the expeditious approach of the fundamentalist Christian End Times" in furtherance of which "President Trump has been anointed by Jesus." Jesus.

Therr are tax-to-terrorism pipelines. From the US to Sudan. From the US to Palestine. From the US to Venezuela. From the US to Iran. What if our careers are an illusion and we're really just working to fund the empire's crimes against humanity?

war is not healthy for humans and other living things

🫶🏽✊🏽🗽New Jersey said stop playing in her face!🫶🏽✊🏽🗽 The proposed Bill ⚖️Establishes "Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals & Communities Empowered Act" ⚖️permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement

Black people make up 13-14% of the US but more than 50% of the Americans who’ve lost property through eminent domain since World War II are Black. And Congress is stripping away environmental and legal requirements that previously delayed or derailed projects like this. That's disparate impact.

Where are the psychological studies and media frenzy about 'super-predators who need to be brought to heel' now?

Urgent message from Sherrilyn Ifill: "I’ve learned that the House is likely to vote on the SAVE Act THIS WEDNESDAY."

White silence is white violence. Call the White House! Call your electeds in Congress. Send emails. Go on his social media and tell him to shut the fuck up!!!

"Germany’s concentration camps didn’t start as instruments of mass murder, and neither have ours; both started as facilities for people the government’s leader said were a problem. And that’s exactly what ICE is building now. History isn’t whispering its warning: it’s shouting."

In US it's National Black Lives Matter in School Week. This year's highlighted themes are Globalism & Loving Engagement. Resources👇🏽

The people who say we can't judge GW & AH & TJ & all of them for being slavers because "you can't judge people in the past by today's morals" are going to stand by their new man, DJT, who is a ghastly, ghostly embodiment of the founding spirit. No matter what he's done and what is in those files.

Amazing. 🤩

The Nation. Since 1865.

George Washington didn't buy his soldiers boots either. "His equipment is not uniform. His outfit-including the patch on his helmet, Nike shoes & his vest’s camouflage pattern-mirrors a distinct look promoted by military influencers selling products to newer generations eager to define themselves."

Fascism can be codified.

No, Governor Walz, we do not all want immigration laws to be enforced. We don't want a 'lawful, peaceful deportation campaign'. That is a *mythological common ground* that wins elections but obscures the nature of detention & deportations & consequences for our families, friends & communities.

Hundreds of children are rising up against fascism. South Texas Family Residential Prison houses families w/ pending immigration court cases. The drinking water is “putrid” & the food contains “bugs,” dirt, and other contaminants. truthout.org/articles/imm...

Abolish ICE. Defund the police. Listen to Black people. 🙅🏾‍♀️ lynching. Mr. Pretti was on his knees & agents had him restrained. An agent shot at him at close range, immediately firing 3 more shots. Another agent unholstered his gun & fired at Mr. Pretti. Then the first agent fired even more shots.

Petition your electeds in the House & Senate to stand strong against this fascist budget that would give ten billion dollars for ICE. The Senate votes Friday, January 30.

Shouldn't the cover of the US paper of record look different on days when government-contracted mercenaries who grew up obsessed with call to action are hunting, stalking, assaulting, lynching, abducting & disappearing Americans everywhere from New Jersey to California?

"We will not let Mr. Trump intimidate or debilitate us. We are not afraid. After all, Minnesotans not only welcome refugees, they also sent one to Congress. -US Rep Ilhan Omar

I get it now. Civil rights attorney & former head of NAACP Minneapolis Nekima Levy Armstrong went to South Park Jesus Church to chant at the ICE-Pastor. The GOP is calling Black prayers a conspiracy. The Board of South Park Jesus Church is running scared. & only the kids can save us.

When asked about its post, the GOP pointed to deputy communications director Kaelan Dorr's X post: “Enforcement of the law will continue. The memes will continue.” Is this the first case of the US government deploying AI-generated propaganda to alter the image of a civilian?
