these fucking idiots are going to let every fascist who trump discarded rehabilitate themselves as democrats. between this and george conway and eventually MTG the future is MAGA vs former MAGA as a controlled opposition party forever.

War must be going really bad for the US to already start setting up Israel to become the scapegoat for its failures and atrocities

Seems in most places lots of storage does a better job of ensuring gas does not set the price - you need renewables too of course but evening peaks are a gas-or-batteries thing.

The US government is both doing what they did in Palestine to Iran, and doing what they did in East Palestine, Ohio to Iran

Today in doing the wrong things for the wrong reasons. Continuing the use of a known carcinogen so the US and Israel can also keep melting the skin off children was not on my bingo card. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/c...

It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain. This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region. aje.news/64yl8m?updat...

Humans can only survive about 3 days without water. The tit-for-tat attacks on desalination plants and other water infrastructure in the Middle East are the scariest part of this war.

In 2013 Aaron Swartz committed suicide for facing 35 years in prison for mass downloading scientific articles. 13 years later, Meta is almost getting away with an infraction orders of magnitude larger. The law didn't change. torrentfreak.com/uploading-pi...

Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police. Proton is correct. The odds of you finding a company that won't comply with its local police are basically zero.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

A Klan lawyer was assigned to represent a Black man, Rocky Meyers. Meyers is still in prison. How many other people did this Klan lawyer represent who languish in prison?

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now. Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

perhaps this website attracts 38 year olds because its no problem for us to post on a forum where all the mods are huge pieces of shit that everybody hates

dudes rock

Yeah it’s weird to me that people are still trying to get outrage out of this highly precedented act when they’re literally also hitting schools with bombs

NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings. Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

given that my shithead grandfather, who was career foreign service, was one of the most scrupulously dishonest people I have ever had the misfortune of meeting, this made me laugh.

Totally normal thing for Senior Counsel at DOJ to tweet out at 2am

That's certainly one way to summarize Elliot Abrams' career www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

I've worked at PCC for 17 years, served in union leadership for 10 of those, and this is my fourth time serving on my union (@pccffap.bsky.social) 's bargaining team. I love PCC and I love my colleagues, and I want to share a little bit about why we are preparing to go on strike next week.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act. We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy. New from me at @brennancenter.org:

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Heard from some people at @unitehere.org today miffed that the NYT didn’t mention the union’s role in these NC races—they knocked on 46,000 doors! And this story doesn’t mention sone people quoted are Unite Here members. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

The glass-in-rice recall just got way bigger.

Katelyn Burns with the takedown of this "we must do centrist Dem candidates" nonsense. Also, reminder that "centrist" actually means right-wing. Overton Window, etc etc.

yes everyone is desperate to hear the opinion of mayor sixteen shots and a coverup. I'm sure he's got a bunch of great ideas that actually meet the moment.

Even Greg Gianforte (that OTHER Montana politician who attacked someone in the past 10 years) was criminally charged. It doesn't seem to have hurt his political career--he's governor now. But Sheehy's full de jure impunity seems even worse than de facto.

I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE. “To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”
