The US and Israel reportedly slaughtered twenty volleyball players at a sports hall today in southern Iran.

Self-defense, they call it.

This company needs to be put out of business.

It’s an indictment of society that it’s allowed to exist at all, but it’s all the more damning that it possesses the prominence it does.

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

You can tell how much trump values Iranian civilian lives and their cries for democratic government because of his pattern of not actually coming to their aid when he said he would and then his insistence on killing them for no reason

Trump II is everything people warned could happen if the Dubya administration got away with its civil liberties violations, advocacy of torture, and general authoritarianism - which, by the way, it did.

“Critics say…”

It’s literally in the text of Article I of the Constitution. Congress declares war.

This is not a criticism, it’s an observation a high school civics student is expected to make.

Here’s the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress.

The demand must be impeachment.

Please do not ever forget that people in the Trump admin are insider trading on US military action.

I'm still on my first cup of coffee and processing the news itself, so can't quite get my head around what Polymarket is saying here: Is it that Iranians should be monitoring Polymarket to see if their children will be murdered the next day?

New laws & more court orders cannot fix this. It is a category to keep pretending otherwise.

Again, the folks everyone is truly angry at are all Republicans, especially Mike Johnson & John Thune. But it doesn’t help that the minority party has feckless leaders whose response to total violations of the law & Constitution is to post at the Nazi Bar & call for more laws & constitution-abiding.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

Wall Street Journal: Israel Strikes Lebanon Amid Iran Attack
By Jared Malsin
The Israeli military said it struck targets belonging to the militant group Hezbollah in several areas of southern Lebanon on
Saturday.
Hezbollah is an important ally of Iran, one of several militia groups throughout the region that Tehran has supported in its long-running shadow war with the U.S. and Israel.
Any conflict with Iran risks a wider conflict that could involve those allied militias.
Hezbollah was significantly weakened by an Israeli military offensive in 2024 that killed many of the organization's top leaders.

Israel is bombing Lebanon too, according to the Wall Street Journal

the political evolution of ta-nehisi coates and the way the media grew more and more terrified of what he had to say pretty much directly follows this track

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

The Nationwide Revolt Against Flock Safety Cameras From New York to Alabama to Arizona, everyday people are mounting a local resistance to the company’s mass surveillance. And sometimes, they take matters into their own hands.

“But growing in concert with Flock is an organized resistance movement which has notched more than a few wins.”

I was already thinking this but am now more confident: if Starmer continues as leader we will see at least one Labour MP defect to the Greens.

Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

How cool is this?

Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library of Congress: not "seen by anyone in likely more than a century"
He pioneered jump cuts, double exposure, black screens, forced perspective

Add this to the two female ICE agents pretending they had car trouble to lure a mechanic out of his house and then arresting him and hauling him off you can see that there are no boundaries or lines that ICE will not cross.

They prey on your humanity to rob you of your freedom.

Columbia President with NEW details:

5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.

They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."

A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.

They ignored him & took the student.
