There is also literally not a mechanism to "kick out" any member from NATO

feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

So many American, Iranian, and other families will be destroyed or forever damaged by Trump's war.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

Thanks for calling this out. Easy block.

I see outlets already getting stuff wrong, so: if you’re media trying to write about Bryan Betancur, I have way more information about his background than anyone else who can go on the record. DMs are open.

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

In think that the reason that the Just World Fallacy is so durable is not because it's just a misfiring heuristic that you can talk your way around, but because it's a coping mechanism for the reality that your life and happiness depend on ten million things completely outside your control.

Phew. Hope Trump doesn't give him another pardon.

It's unacceptable that MTPD can't keep riders safe from people like this.

WANTED ASSAULT & BATTERY Bryan Betancur, 28, of Silver Spring, MD

It might’ve taken a couple years of Bryan Betancur live streaming himself fare evading, stalking women on metro property, threatening women on Metro property, and Hitler saluting and calling people slurs on metro property, but we’re finally seeing progress, baby!!!

Lock him up! This January 6th rioter has been stalking women for years but going viral for hair fondling on the Metro finally got the authorities to act

A friend from college is trapped in one of these countries because his non-US-citizen wife had applied for a visa to the US. Her passport is in the embassy and the embassy is giving no response about when she can have it back, since the embassy is shut down.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

I'll be watching and sharing news and takeaways in the coming days. Stay tuned!

This is what "anti-wokeness" was all about, making it publicly acceptable to be an aspiring genocidaire bsky.app/profile/mehd...

What's McDuffie's answer to this question? I'd guess also against due to budget reasons but I'm curious

I'm sorry for the loss of her son. I'm sorry that the local journalist didn't kindly and gracefully point out to her that Iran and Iraq are different countries.

Still not a reason to mock this woman's loss.

Interesting that the alleged co-conspirator has a very Yugoslav-sounding name. I can't find more about the co-conspirator's own legal case unfortunately.

I understand the care that your reporters take with people in grief like this woman. But did your reporters note that Iraq, where her son died, and Iran, where President Trump is waging an unconstitutional war, are different countries? Why did this story conflate two completely different countries?

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

Which, amazingly, is somehow more than any of his colleagues did.

It is surreal that we are still locked in the never-ending debate over whether military intervention on behalf of democracy and human rights is good, when the current administration has been extremely explicit they are not intervening on behalf of democracy and human rights

The Bird House's coffee farm room is one of my favorite places in the zoo!

This is a point in favor of the "throw shit against the wall and see what sticks" theory of politics, by the way. I think they are idiots for not immediately seeing the value, but their poor judgment would matter much less if they just tried shit

He was at least sensible enough not to turn down this one staffer's idea, we've gotta give him that (and precisely that).

“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s Jon Hoffman says.

When did Congress declare war on Iran?

Even if everything you said is correct, when did you and your colleagues authorize this war?
