The last hospital in Darfur's el-Fasher has been destroyed by paramilitaries — hundreds of patients killed and doctors taken. n.pr/4qBqlF7

Just finished watching this. It was heartbreaking and cathartic at the same time. I am often shocked by where we are now, but it gives me courage knowing that people like Adam Kinzinger are fighting for the truth. @adamkinzinger.substack.com, thank you for your service to this country.

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

Hilft die Kürzung von Unterstützungsleistungen, um Arbeitslosigkeit zu reduzieren? Kurzfristig wirkungslos, langfristig schädlich. Passend zur aktuellen Debatte wurde mein (theoretischer) Beitrag im Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination veröffentlicht. 1/ link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Als wir noch auf #Usedom lebten, sahen wir das kommen. Dorsche wurden zu jung gefangen, zu viel, keine Einsicht bei Tourist:innen, dass es im Sommer keinen frischen Dorsch geben dürfte. Auch die anfangs noch zahlreichen Fischer hielten sich nicht an Fangquoten. #Ostsee

Die Jugendkriminalität ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten deutlich zurückgegangen. Trotz der Zuwanderung. Leider versuchen uns unterschiedlichste Player, gerade auch Medien, immer das Gegenteil zu erzählen. csl.mpg.de/886274/langf...

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs." Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.

Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

Reporters must stop accepting this. Options: -Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others) -"It's your job to be informed" -"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?" -"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often" -"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"

The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

These people have civilian jobs. It's one thing to mobilize them for an emergency or a legitimate war, another thing to send them to American cities to stand around and mill about. You're messing with people's careers to further a hostile and idiotic agenda.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Putin said that Russia "historically has always treated a defeated enemy with mercy." And this is what #Ukrainian Defenders who survived Russian captivity say: ◾️ Dmytro Polovian: "They forced us to walk to interrogations on broken legs; some were beaten, some were jabbed with an awl."

The “press” asks about the East Wing.

Americans are on the verge of losing their ability to choose their government. But they don't seem to have realized it yet.

Remember when Paul Krugman’s columns were soooo wonky. “It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.” - Paul Krugman

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over? Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen. www.ft.com/content/4855...

My God they've just created a machine that incentivizes every Trump staffer to break the economy (and much else) on purpose so they can insider trade on Truth Social. Literally every insider trading son of a bitch in this regime is gonna be deliberately *increasing* volatility as much as possible.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

ah, this guy was taken alive, unharmed, and there hasn't been an all-hands-on-deck freakout about What It Means. Guess the demographic!

In der FAZ berichtet heute Stefan Locke über ein besonders düsteres Kapitel des russischen Krieges gegen die Ukraine: Systematische, angeordnete und brutale Folter gegenüber ukrainischen Gefangenen.

Here's the law (passed in 2024 in Tennessee) at issue, which is discussed elsewhere: law.justia.com/codes/tennes... And, here's the bill page: wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/Billinf...

Die Deutsche Telekom, deren größter Anteilseigner der deutsche Staat ist, bezahlt für die Zerstörung des Weißen Hauses und die Errichtung des Tanzsaals über ihre US-Tochter T-Mobile. Ich dachte, das solltet ihr wissen. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Rechter Terror in #Sachsen: heute Nachmittag griffen zwei (stark alkoholisierte) Nazis infolge eines "Streits" einen Mann tunesischer Herkunft in der Linie 12 in #Dresden Löbtau an und verletzten diesen mit einem Messer am Hals. (1/2) www.saechsische.de/lokales/dres...

The authoritarian nightmare. A regime with a massive security apparatus used for political purposes, completely unconstrained by the rule of law.

Just the President of the United States praising a dictatorial authoritarian political system

Sind Sie mit der bisherigen Arbeit von Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz zufrieden? | Umfrage Forsa/RTL, n-tv Ja: 25% (-2) Nein: 72% (+3) Weiß nicht: 3% (-1) Änderungen zur letzten Umfrage vom 21. Oktober 2025 #btw29

@bachmannrudi.bsky.social has fallen down the “both sides” hole. I used to follow him, now I suggest muting or blocking him

"Fast 43.000 Frauen sind 2024 allein in Berlin Opfer gewalttätiger Übergriffe geworden - deutlich mehr als im Jahr davor. Der Senat plant dennoch, beim Gewaltschutz zu sparen." Das würde nicht passieren, ginge es in der Stadtbild-Debatte wirklich um das Wohl von Frauen.

Another big conclusion: Biden admin didn't take seriously enough the regulatory state's sclerosis. They were too naive about courts and unprepared to wage war in them. The report proposes Dems stand for major regulatory *and* court reform going forward: newrepublic.com/article/2023...

"Es werde wohl nicht der letzte Fund sein, sagt Alina Bothe: 'Vieles liegt vermutlich noch in privaten Bilderalben. Aus Berlin, wo es 180 Transporte gab, haben wir bisher kein einziges Foto gefunden. Dabei hatten zehn Prozent der Bevölkerung in den 1930ern Kameras. Es muss diese Bilder geben.'" 1/2

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

I wonder if this stuff works for people who aren't Trump. The original story confirms, from Ingrassia and DHS, that he was investigated. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Holy shit. Midnight massacre at ICE.

THIS is the reason why I have consistently tried to emphasize that Border Patrol and ICE are different agencies with different duties and different leadership and different styles. Border Patrol are the aggro cowboys compared to ICE. Now they're going to be the ones running the show.

NBC has a story on this as well already, and they've got an indicative quote as to how things will go: "'The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,;' one of the DHS officials said. 'So CBP will do it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Hey, Ho, CBP has got to go!

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said. (Published Sept.)

I didn’t see the game, but I‘m assuming it ran so long that the Dodgers invoked the Air-Bud argument and brought in a pinch runner

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies. Trump just won’t release it. 440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital. "I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!" The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck. Houston, Texas.

I don't understand why nobody ask : Would you like to run against Obama?

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

It bears repeating that he literally only calls people of color "low IQ" it's just straight up gutter racism

Aus aktuellem Anlass: Dass Journalist:innen zu unkritisch über deutsche Olympiabewerbungen berichten, hat Jens Weinreich schon vor einem Jahr bei uns kritisiert. Statt zu recherchieren, woran die letzten Bewerbungen gescheitert sind, verbreiten Medien Olympia-PR. uebermedien.de/97517/alles-...
