26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball. Now being discarded as if he was human refuse. Shame on Syracuse for not intervening. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/04...

Orban's defeat is also a defeat for the US right-wing organizations he was funneling government funds to. uk.news.yahoo.com/newly-electe...

The polls have closed in Hungary - and it appears that turnout will approach 80%, a post-communist record.

There's something just so brilliant about coal mines being directly replaced with solar farms www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/07/g...

and, quiet as it's kept, this was the outcome of essentially a world war fought explicitly on the terms of achieving this outcome, much as people at the time and since have liked to portray the century as a bipolar struggle between two countries in particular

Just in time for Trump's scheduled war crimes, Bellingcat has updated our tool for identifying damaged buildings and structures in satellite imagery, ideally for investigating atrocities in Iran. Full details here: www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

It’s arguably less a war than it is just a string of war crimes

ICE has kidnapped a Colombian asylee and evangelical pastor, Yeison Cortes Vasquez of Elizabeth, New Jersey, on the virtual eve of Easter, the holiest day on the Christian calendar

turns out Trump is screwing up yet another country in a more traditional imperialist fashion (helping the Ecuadorian would-be dictator consolidate power under the guise of the drug war)

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

"Some right-wing Israeli lawmakers enthusiastically adopted the noose as a symbol of their support for the law, wearing golden noose-shaped pins on their lapels in the Knesset...Israeli lawmakers frequently invoked the American practice of capital punishment when justifying the legislation."

I mean there it is.

This Nazi retiree's career was destroyed by the brave people of Minnesota, who deserve our admiration and our thanks

This is a very important initiative and a possible way out of the Super PAC box that the party finds itself in. It leverages negative publicity in a measurable way to make outside spending toxic

Fantastic. Let people in Dallas and Houston and Jacksonville experience a bunch of masked thugs in their faces.

I'm not a political consultant but i feel like dems could probably get a lot of leverage out of pushing for green technologies that would wean the us off being dependent on oil in this particular moment

The IDF is a war crime Everywhere it goes

This is the NYPD way of showing Mamdani they are still in charge. They are purposefully antagonizing him to spark a confrontation, so they can play the victim, which they will use to plead for more funding to fix issue that don't exist. They ran the same exact playbook with DeBlasio.

No more excuses for funding social programs.

Germany withdrew its support for Israel at the ICJ Gaza Genocide Case This marks a shift from Germany's January 2024 stance, when it backed Israel in the case. (archive.ph/P3UBr)

Paul also voted against the Big Beautiful Bill. I'll be curious to see how this develops. He was in the upper quintile of Republicans disgracing themselves through sheer toadyism in the first Trump term. But now he's starting to treat Trump like a lame duck rather than a god emperor.

this ep is definitely worth a listen, really good discussion covering a broad range of angles about the shitshow in iran

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

he might just be the most purely stupid leader of a major power in the history of humanity

700,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon in 10 days. This is a historic, catastrophic level of displacement that essentially hasn't even made the news. We are numb to these atrocities.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Iran 🇮🇷 BREAKING: opposition channel IranIntl reports that the Assembly of Experts has elected Mojtaba Khamenei to be the next Supreme Leader. Mojtaba is the eldest son of Ali Khamenei.

Wirth paying attention to which elected officials talk about the deaths of Iranians, and which ones do not.
