If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong. Wherever in the world it happens. You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.

Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, has been identified as the man who disarmed one of the Sydney attackers. Ahmed was shot by the second shooter, who was firing from a bridge. He suffered 2 gunshot wounds and is undergoing surgery.

The US government is now a mafia organization.

If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.

So am I.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.” People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave. apnews.com/article/myan...

The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

Just like it’s water and privatised public utilities.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's caught red handed. He's in the files. We know it. Period. He's part of this cover up... You reap what you sow. He created this. He weaponized it. He's done it from the birth certificate on down... Too cute by half, and now he's caught."

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

This is what fear looks like.

Who else thinks we should ban members of Congress from trading stocks?

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it 👀

This is precisely correct.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

That’s what someone on ketamine would say

He is completely clueless about what he is doing.

🔥 WATCH: “Congress holds the power of the purse. That is a fact. That’s not a question. That is a fact.” @underwood.house.gov gives @kristinoem a quick lesson on the constitution they both swore to defend. 🇺🇸

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it. They just don’t care. They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From Adam Zygus)

Seriously, why is RFK Jr worried about dyes in food when his department is cutting safety standards for milk and chicken?

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

He did it. He crashed the entire economy. In exactly 90 days.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.
