I wonder if Americans realize the irony and hypocrisy of hoping Iranians sacrifice their lives in a revolution to remove their autocratic regime while the entire world wishes Americans had the guts to do it too.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Reason #12,456 not to fuck with anyone Gen-X

"special envoy" sounds like she's keeping the plane b/c she's the drug mule for the exec branch

It's not that Hilary was being kind when calling them "deplorables", she was trying to use the most diplomatic words to try to build a bridge to people who are now trying to bring back slavery

GREAT new resource from us:

You can now flip through the financial disclosures of Trump officials.

See what they own --and how much they're worth.

See who's worked where-- and how much they banked.

Want the folks connected to Palintir? Please enjoy.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

A whole lot of white gatekeeping today with people justifying James Talarico over Jasmine Crockett. I don't know why these fucks can't ever admit that no matter what her qualifications are, a white man is always more qualified in their eyes than a woman. Especially a black woman. Stop fucking lying.

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

You can now visualize how a color palette distributes across OKHsv, OKHsl, OKLCh and CIELab, and compare 6 distance metrics side by side. Zero dependencies, raw WebGL2.

Took me 3 years to make something I wasn't too embarrassed to share 🙃

For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S. The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the “first comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

“Frog, why do you keep looking out the window?” asked Toad.

“Because I am waiting for the mail,” said Frog.

“But there will not be any,” said Toad.

“Oh yes there will,” said Frog, “because I have sent you a letter.”

If you've read about people going to the wrong polling place to vote in Texas today, here is a clear explanation of what just happened. It is both disgusting and terrifying how the Republican party (in general) and Ken Paxton (specifically) intentionally suppressed Dem votes in this election.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

“newspapers have been in steep decline since the 1980s” yeah who told you to shrink the comics and then deprioritize and ultimately remove the comics

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

Liberal hunting permit sticker on many conservative's cars after 9/11.

Meanwhile the same damn people 20 years ago:

I remember that BS about MVP Harris “sleeping her way to the top” but zero mention about Tr*mp raping his way to the top. The US is not ready.

Can Trump cancel the election in all 50 states and DC? No. Can he even rig the rules for state run elections? Also no. Is it seriously alarming that the thought is on his mind? And that the media and the Dems don’t seem to think this is a big priority? Yes.
