I’ve always liked @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s framing of the complex American identity: We’re industrial pollution and the environmental movement America is MLK and the KKK. We are FDR and Trump. We are Duke Ellington and Kid Rock. -j. Fugelsang Worth a read👇🏼

Emmer used to lead the Somali caucus in Congress with Keith Ellison. But he failed to win the governorship of Minnesota and then later Trump put the kibosh on him becoming speaker. So this is as high as Emmer will ever go. And he spews racism like this weekly at GOP leadership pressers.

Excellent podcast featuring interview of @katiephang.bsky.social by @democracyprof.bsky.social and @johnfugelsang.bsky.social Significant lawsuit by Phang on the #epsteinfiles while the large media orgs are silent. Highly recommend this

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.

If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

Good on Maryland Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov Statement on the illegal act of war:

A sense of the crowd, which is now going north on 8th Avenue.

Past acts of American colonialism were deplorable. But they at least came with congressional authorization—like the Spanish-American War—and therefore a public, democratic chance for the American people to debate them and stop them. This is worse, and even more deplorable.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

"Of the 18 124 live births, 861 infants were exposed to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection. About 16% of children whose mothers tested positive for #COVID during pregnancy were diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental condition by age 3 years, compared with about 10% of those whose mothers tested negative."

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

1. A blockade is an act of war 2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨 3. It’s always about oil.
