Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

Slightly concerned that the lesson from Hungary that leadership Dems and Dem voters will take away is that you can run any ole neolibcon and people will turn out in huge numbers if the other guy is bad enough and not to run someone actually good who can turnout huge numbers just by being like good

a shame this person will be persecuted for causing violence more than anyone who killed 175 school girls

Schumer is pro the war on Iran and I think that in and of itself is disqualifying. It seems imperative that Democrats demand that he resign or be replaced as Senate minority leader because he is actually working to support the fascist in chief. It's untenable.

Israel won't stop. 12 hours after the ceasefire they dropped 100 bombs on Beirut. It's all extremely predictable. They want Lebanon, and feel supreme to their Arab neighbours. We have all enabled this national psychopathy with impunity. Israel won't stop until they are stopped.

Afeef and I reported on this crisis two weeks ago… it has only gotten exponentially worse theintercept.com/2026/03/22/b...

💔 Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Mohammed Samir Washah has been killed in Gaza following an Israeli drone strike on his car. Over 262 journalists have been murdered (assasinated) by ‘Israel’ since the start of the genocide in Gaza. You murder journalists when your enemy is the truth.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

We didn't deserve this day.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

It‘s nothing compared to what Iranians and Palestinians go through, but I am ashamed to be an American—ashamed of what Trump is threatening, ashamed that there are two parties supporting him, ashamed of our society which perpetually wages violence, ashamed of myself for failing to stop it

muting and blocking everyone who posts the fucking ridiculous TACO.

I have always hated the TACO stuff. There are so many ways to mock this man. Taunting him about not following through on his violent, destructive whims is not helpful to us. Thank god he doesn't always follow through, and may this be one of those times.

Man, shut the fuck up about TACO right now. Just demonstrably false that this man “always chickens out”

Israel bombing a synagogue in Tehran is the kind of symbolism that would feel too heavy-handed in a work of fiction. But yeah. That tracks in this ridiculous timeline. May God bring comfort and safety to the Tehran Jewish community.

Trump is holding an entire nation hostage. But, somehow, the rest of the world continues on. The markets chug along. Congress continues to be in recess, with dissent confined largely to social media. It is hard not to feel like we have failed some critical test of the bounds of our own humanity.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

God this poem is haunting me again.

If you or your loved ones are currently serving in the US military, immediately contact the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487 or reach out to aboutfaceveterans.org. There is no justification for committing mass murder to satisfy the tyrannical ambitions of a narcissistic billionaire.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

I was going to write today, but until we know more, I don't have any new words for this moment. What I will say is that if you are reeling, and you know you want to be part of making things better, Mariame Kaba and I wrote a book for you. I hope it helps.

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

"This isn't us" says the only country to use nuclear weapons against a population and by far the most likely to overthrow democratic governments and start bloody wars of aggression over the past 80 years.

Ever since 2016, I've wondered not if but when it will be truly time to go full South Korea, with a million or more of us surrounding the White House until something is done to get him out I had been betting on fighting against a midterms coup. but now I'm thinking maybe that time is... NOW?

The social and political system that led to this moment made this lunacy possible and also has removed any viable near-term way to stop it. Trump is just the latest and most extreme manifestation of this bloodthirsty empire. We must stop ourselves and if we can't then we must be stopped.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

The President of the United States just said “A whole civilization will die tonight.” Any politician or person within the chain of command who does not speak up and do everything in their power to stop this will be complicit in the gravest crime against humanity, and there’s no return from that.

The only way to end the sexual abuse of children who are detained and incarcerated is to stop detaining and incarcerating children. There are no "reforms" that end sexual abuse inside.

A coalition of 22 states say the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has admitted to sharing with ICE “a large and complex” set of data on Medicaid recipients, ignoring a court order. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/06/r...

The Iran rescue narratives are not sourced to anyone, without proof, and not qualified in reports as unverified. Everyone from The New York Times to AP are repeating an unfounded tale as fact, fed by an administration with a documented pattern of lying and lust for propaganda. News media, do better!

When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.

People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.

exonerated after FORTY THREE years in prison, only to end up falling in ICE detention immediately www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

I know I’m a broken record on this but: A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.

1 Just passed through security at La Guardia. ICE entirely doing security! 100% of ID and identity checks done by ICE…Truly icky and dystopian. Some thoughts.

5 just how routine and normalized the answer to EVERYTHING in America is more cops, more cops, more cops. To do every job. TSA unpaid? More cops! Congress can’t budget? More cops! To *me* there is intimidation by their mere presence, but I feel like their PR move is not to conjure fear but normalcy…

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

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

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

The government is intentionally creating conditions that routinely lead to the death of people they have imprisoned, to send a message of dominance and control. They want to be feared, they want people to live in fear because then they are easier to control.

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died Saturday morning after being detained for less than 24 hours, while Daphy Michel was found dead outside a bus stop after being released to an ICE office an hour from her home. www.jezebel.com/ices-latest-...

The limited protections for immigrants that organizers, communities, & advocates built over decades are being dismantled. Sanctuary cities, sanctuary churches, DACA & other forms of deferred action, TPS, administrative closure, & many other conditional protections.

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...
