From the Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, here's a breakdown of all the assets the U.S. military has amassed in the Caribbean:

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses

I made this thread into a shareable web page. As shown in the thread, Erik Prince previously took credit for helping to plant this “Letter of Marque” idea into Senator Mike Lee’s head. Link to web page: skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Judge Luttig slays. "In posing his question with the smugness of the non-lawyer he is, he thought he made examples of some of the country’s most knowledgeable legal experts, unwittingly making an example of himself instead." "...his supercilious drive-by libel of the handful of “leftist pundits”

I don’t ever want to hear anyone say “the raids aren't as bad.” this is the last 2 days. lataco.com/daily-memo-d...

"In fact, Trump could even have used [made-up powers] to separate out certain documents from the Files & hide them in classified storage without leaving a paper trail or other record indicating what was taken out, why, or where it is...[thus forming] a massive black hole at the center." Yikes.

It's nice to see other countries learn from mistakes the US made.

Oh, so it's oil and land, eh? Not drugs? Hmm. What a surprise.

"Manchin: I’ve come to the conclusion there’s two things that would change politics in America: [congressional] term limits and open primaries. "Flake: If you had five or six states with open-primary laws like Alaska has, that would create a whole different power structure in the Senate." Word.

-Sandy Hook should have ended children being slaughtered in schools, instead Republicans rallied to defend guns. -Jan. 6, 2021 should have ended Trump, instead Republicans rallied to defend treason. -The Epstein Files should end rich men's lust for rape, instead Republicans rally to defend scum.

"That’s why, according to several people involved, an outlandish plan began to unfold during, of all things, a cocktail party." A crazy story of how Gen. Curtis Lemay, the general upon whom the nuke-happy Gen. Ripper from the nuclear dark comedy Dr. Strangelove is based, cooked up a wild scheme.

"in Trump v. United States, [the Roberts court] declared, for the first & only time in 2.5 centuries, that the president was above the law. Short of rejecting democratic governance altogether, it's hard to imagine a greater heresy against the American constitutional order." Roberts weaponized Fed70

"The birthright citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment, & Reconstruction [itself] was specifically designed to guard against a racial caste system. But everyone [not just Blacks & latinos] should be on full alert. The 14thA protects the citizenship and equality rights of every American."

Lakawanal chose hommie. Four of his Afghan CIA zero-unit colleagues chose suie. They all face neglect and betrayal by the country they risked their lives to support against a brutal regime that seized power in Afghanistan.

As all eyes fix on Trump & his talk show flaks commanding the cameras, the regime's true policies are rolling out to no fanfare. The US is abandoning Europe to Putin and Asia to Xi so it can conquer the Americas. It's exactly the tech bro #neoreactionary playbook. substack.com/@heathercoxr...

Trump's popularity is declining-which he's not helping with his 37-pencils austerity tour. But he's trading it for power. "At some point the regime consolidates so much power its popularity no longer matters. Authoritarian Shift is the process of trading popular legitimacy for structural control."

Was just reading abt trump's new national security strategy, then got whiplash reading this headline.Trump is declaring his "paramount objective" of a "mutually advantageous economic relationship with Beijing” & “declines to characterize the threat Moscow poses to U.S. interests."They miss the memo?

What's this?! "strategic clarity is entirely missing from the new NSS, which is more polemic than policy." China: "economics are “the ultimate stakes.” Russia: “many Europeans regard Russia as an existential threat.” “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine? www.cfr.org/expert-brief...

A sniff of bipartisan spine, a spark of life left in the people's house on a thin peninsula of common ground amid catastrophic sea level rise.

“If this administration is able to sort of run roughshod over these laws and rules that we believed to be so well established, and there is no mechanism by which there can be accountability, or that the harms can be rectified, where does that leave us?”

"It’s time people realize the problem with the term working class is that the second you say class, people start ranking. They create hierarchies. They decide who's deserving, who counts. It becomes a competition rooted in scarcity. If you say workers, you're already building a coalition." 🔥

NEW: Pentagon lawyers asked State Dept. if US could send survivors of Trump's boat strikes to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Then Pentagon pushed to have survivors sent anywhere but the US — to prevent any US court cases. Gift link to our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud. Read our full investigation here 👇

"ultimately it won’t matter if Noem, Youngkin, or someone else leads DHS. It is [still] the Miller-styled approach to immigration law enforcement."

There is no "ceasefire." "War is peace."

This is nothing short of mandatory right wing indoctrination at Texas high schools & colleges. Wow.

Chilling to the bone. Pete Hegseth is 100% WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). No nuance, subtlety, or ambiguity. Just straight up militant white supremacist perpetrating a murderous, vengeful, and violent agenda.

Bookmark this Feb'25 newsletter from @gilduran.com as an easily digestible primer into the tech authoritarian ideologies of #ElonMusk, #PeterThiel & their cohort of oligarchs who seek to destroy democracy & world order for their benefit. A timely read in the pantheon of year-end predictions.

"Minneapolis didn’t come to this moment by accident. This is the city where George Floyd was murdered. Where the entire world saw what happens when abuse of force goes unchecked. Where “duty to intervene” was carved into the public conscience. a city PAID 4 its lessons in blood, grief, & riots."

I love this headline. You could think FIFA is performing a public service for a beleaguered world to fluff trump's ego with a made-up award that institutions like Nobel will never grant. But placating his insatiable need only validates, normalizes, & prolongs. newrepublic.com/post/204070/...

"Do they want anarchy? Do they want libertarianism? Do they want authoritarianism? Yes, yes, and yes. They simply want anything but this. Because this hurts." The rise of nihilistic violent extremists, NVEs: disillusioned gen-z's w/ a metaphysical, paradoxical outlook who want a different future.

"But the six conservative justices decided to toss the district court’s extensive fact-finding in the trash, for one reason only: It didn’t produce the result they wanted. They are out of control, and their reign of judicial terror must come to an end." Dems need to adopt Newsom-like resolve.

Just listened to this July episode of Interesting Times podcast w/ journo Julia k. Brown, whose reporting helped rekindle the #JeffreyEpstein case in 20teens. Interesting. But sadly, corp media must answer to shareholders. They stop at the edge, but never push thru. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/o...

India Today showed a cartoon of Putin and PM Modi riding a motorcycle riding a motorcycle past oil rigs and singing a popular Indian song about friendship. President Trump also makes an appearance in the end.

The world is crackling with danger right now. The US government having gone rogue is truly disastrous.

Did you know that Malala Yousafsai is not a hero in her native Pakistan? Listening to this story made me think abt why something horrible can make some ppl disbelieve it's real, like Sandyhook, Jan6, 9/11. And how ppl can feel jealous of a martyr & blame the victim. www.npr.org/2025/10/01/g...

WSJ story on pardon of Honduras' drug-trafficker ex-president notes his role in “Próspera, a libertarian ‘startup city’ backed by Silicon Valley investors including Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen.” “A Thiel spokesman said Thiel wasn’t involved in the pardon.” 🎁 link: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors." 1/🧵

We need to suddenly stop feeding Trump and see how he likes it. It might be the only way for him to understand how starving kids feel when he does it to them.

We're doing pogroms in America now

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.” They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Another successful ceasefire. So much winning.

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...

If you haven't already, listen to #MarkKelly `s full statement and press conference he gave on Monday. He knows what it means to be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for US. His speech is an object lesson in integrity and truth telling needed now. senator-mark-kelly.app.box.com/s/kzsooi92oq...

I just know these details are escaping the mainstream radar, but I've been noting these hypocracies as they're happening. So important to see these events summarized succinctly in one place. Trump is double-dealing, double-crossing, double-speaking us all into servitude in his authoritarian state.

It’s exhausting to keep demanding better from establishment Dems too beholden to capital to ever challenge the billionaire elite’s GOP puppets. We’re wasting time as our democracy crumbles into dust. Instead, we should vote them out & replace them with reps who WILL vote to impeach Hegseth

This is the leader of the US military who's conducting illegal killings with our tax dollars. Appropriating a beloved, peaceful children's book character to dunk on his extra-legal war crimes. Glamorizing his war crimes to recruit young men who grew up with Franklin into his warped sociopath army.
