@arimelber.bsky.social LOVED the “Rushmore” segment! Can Ari and Ben come back on Monday? 😉

Failing to prosecute US officials and criminal military personnel for war crimes or any of the crimes against humanity that they committed abroad now means those same predators can go through your towns as ICE or police, except this time you are either the terrorists or the "collateral."

Flashbangs burn hotter then lava. They've caused serious burns, severed hands, and even killed. *That's* what ICE just tossed into a car full of kids. Here's our investigation from 2015, by @juliaangwin.com: www.propublica.org/article/flas...

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Never forget. 🇺🇸

If Maduro was smart he would just cut to the chase and hire Pam Bondi’s brother as a pardon attorney and bypass all this trial stuff.

Spot the difference: Iraq vs. Venezuela

It shouldn't be lost among all the war criming what a massive dork Hegseth is. "Kinetic Strikes" and "Battle Rhythm" are terms from a fad workout program in the late 90s whose founder eventually went to jail for tax fraud.

Excellent thread 🧵

In just three days, Trump's latest tax cuts for the super-rich and corporations will go into effect. Here's how his first round of tax cuts turned out.

Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation. It sends a message that “people impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said.

“I was just trying to go to work.” NYT shows videos from Trump’s ICE goons causing an accident— then DETAINING the guy who stopped to get their insurance. Lawless. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs. And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

Excellent reporting here 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Here's footage of what turned out to be Todd Snider's final show ever at the Gothic on 10/30/25. Here's him telling a story abt John Prine then singing his tribute to him Handsome John. youtu.be/Dc175BogFT4?...

This is the easiest case for understanding gerrymandering. Salt Lake City, in the center of the state, is the only Dem leaning area in Utah. So GOPers divided the state into 4 districts, radiating out from SLC, cutting it into four quadrants, preventing the city from electing a Rep of their choice.

This video deserves more attention: An Army General explains the Trump regime’s inhumane arrests and deportations in Louisiana. youtube.com/watch?v=6IdO...

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

we’re building a statue of sandwich guy on the mall and making it a national monument. that’s just facts

Dayanne Figueroa is a US citizen. She just had liver surgery in August and ICE treats her like a wishbone 🤬

I'm sure these regulations were originally put in place to prevent discrimination against SNAP recipients. Now invoked to prevent helping people. Authoritarians like to create conditions of deprivation to control a population. If you think no one will help you, then you're more likely to comply.

Today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Autumn. I love exploring the #mountains of Colorado to find hidden gems.

I just want to say how viscerally angry this image makes me

“The law might have tolerated government conduct of this sort a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. But in the here and now, the First Amendment bars government officials from shutting down peaceful protests…”

most people don't want politics that hurt other people. we just want a long overcoat like david bowie and affordable housing

The government said they aren’t releasing SNAP benefits in November — but ALDI is helping families out. Their Thanksgiving meal bundle feeds 10 people for just $40! 🦃 Available now through Christmas Eve, it includes 21 items (like a 14-lb turkey + sides). Share this with everyone!

Here’s a talk I gave years ago explaining how Columbus was basically the original trans-Atlantic drug trafficker. You will be never think about the colonization of this hemisphere in the same way again. The “drug” economy powered hemispheric growth (and enslavement) for centuries. Watch:

See you there, Denver! #NoKings #Protest #Denver #Colorado

I believe economists refer to this as “fucking bonkers.”
