The Peril of a White House That Flaunts Its Indifference to the Law

Specialists in law governing the use of lethal force have called Trump’s orders to the military patently illegal.

The premeditated extrajudicial killings
have been murders

β€” regardless of whether the 43 people blown apart, burned alive or drowned in 10 strikes so far were indeed running drugs.

Revealed: ICE violates its own policy by holding people in secretive rooms for days or weeks Guardian analysis finds ICE increasingly keeps people in holding rooms with little oversight, as some facilities see a 600% rise in detention length

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Trump personally signed every one of the pardons for the January 6thers, and was totally in his right mind honest. Believe us

β€˜Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: β€˜Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says AntΓ³nio Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

The fossil fuel companies have done this. We are missing the target because of their corruption of politics, their lies, their misinformation and their unwillingness to transition away from their deadly products. They are evil.

Happy Diwali to all those celebrating in London and around the world.

Greenberg: I have got something to say to Mike Johnson who spent all week smearing regular Americans. There are nearly a dozen No Kings protests happening across your district today.

Since you have not been doing your job for over a month now, I bet you have got time to stop by.

No Kings protest in The Woodlands, Texas (north suburban Houston). This is the first such protest to occur in the community. I overheard a number of folks telling others that they had never attended such an event before but had gotten to the point of feeling they needed to do something.
