It’s really quite bad.

The undercover Israeli soldiers who summarily executed more than half of a Palestinian family in the occupied West Bank will not be questioned, let alone arrested.

If there was only one Tom Waits record, this could be it. He squeezes 19 songs onto one LP and covers all his own bases from satirical polka grotesques to sad, ragged roots rock, and destinations between. W/ Marc Ribot, Keith Richards and John Lurie on board

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

All of this for a war of choice whose entire objective appears to be using the US military to record snuff films of deaths caused by our bombs and missiles

“Iran has shown a willingness to attack U.S. allies directly, calling into question the credibility of Washington’s commitment to defending them and even its ability to do so,” WPR columnist @profpaulpoast.bsky.social writes.

Get in folks, we’re laundering white nationalist Tucker Carlson’s reputation because we already shuttered out every person left of Kamala who defended Palestinians

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

However much John Roberts cloaks him in unaccountability, doing this remains a very serious federal crime and stories about it should say so.

It is quite telling that since the horrific story of Cesar Chavez re: sexual abuse broke earlier this week and calls to change the names of schools and other public spaces named in his honor, not one conservative voice has stepped forward to object that this would be tantamount to erasing history.

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

Alright I'm gonna say it Mark Foley for President. This is how we Kill Maga with a Woke Wrestler

this is a man with billions in us govt contracts. if the democrats don't investigate him, its a disaster -- and they punted at the chance to do it when they had the majority before.

105° in #Phoenix today has a return interval of ~4,000 + years in March based on the historical record. It’s plotted against the highest March temp in each year back to 1896. The gray dot right under it is yesterday, otherwise the 105° would look even more errant… 1/2

After watching WBC games for weeks, the lack of excitement in this spring training game is boring me so much. I need more WBC in my life

We as Americans cannot fathom how profoundly destabilizing Trump’s insane Greenland saber-rattling was to European allies. It was a rupture that will never be fully repaired — and yet America has already forgotten it.
