People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

The Transformative Power of the White ‘Race Traitor’

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

A Republican attack on a core provision of the Voting Rights Act that is designed to protect racial minorities comes to the Supreme Court this week, more than a decade after the justices knocked out another pillar of the 60-year-old law.

The American Bar Association rejects use of racial profiling in immigration enforcement.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.

In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.

We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

Emergency Hearing over the Removal of Unaccompanied Minors to Guatemala A play-by-play of Judge Sooknanan’s hearing where she barred the Trump administration's removal of all Guatemalan children in similar circumstances.

Today, Judge Sooknanan held an emergency hearing in a lawsuit filed to challenge the Trump administration's removal of unaccompanied minors to Guatemala. Read @annabower.bsky.social's live blog from the hearing: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/emer...

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans put 338 rural hospitals at risk so they could fund tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

Our commitment to one another and compassion may be the biggest weapon we've got against the fear L.A. is being targeted with. We've gotten dozens of questions about how you can help, including where to volunteer. We heard you, and we answered. lataco.com/los-angeles-...

Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

Pantone®️ should call it “Tupac’s Chevy Yellow.”

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
