People love to see things get blown up. But they don’t like to look under the rubble. In this case, they would see the bodies of 100+ little girls killed by US and Israeli bombs. This is not regime change. It’s murder. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Nope, not "swiftboating." That's a different kind of lie: the false smear of an individual.
This is pure "1984": Big Brother (or, in this case, the Bozo Fascist) ends war by starting a war.
War Is Peace.
Freedom Is Slavery.
And, of course...
Ignorance Is Strength.
Orwell mapped it all out.
With his unlawful and reckless war on Iran, Donald Trump is on his way to outdoing George W. Bush on aggression, despite his past criticism of Bush's Iraq war. The last surviving ruler of Bush's "axis of evil" states - Kim Jong Un - will be all the more determined now to keep his nuclear weapons.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

This important civil rights case in Kansas is just the tip of the iceberg: the ACLU says that more than 70 bills persecuting members of the LGBTQ community were passed by state legislatures across America and signed into law last year.

Is the Trump administration punishing Anthropic because it’s refusing to help mass surveil American communities or build killer robots?
The American people deserve to know what Trump officials are planning at the Pentagon.
Secretary Pete Hegseth must testify.
Mamdani saying he called Trump to get Aghayeva released.
Aghayeva posting she has been released.
Aghayeva has been released.
Mamdani is truly a generational political talent.
welcome to personalist america, where the new bar of constituent service is “personally ask the king to release one of my constituents that his paramilitary abducted.” it’s great that mamdani can do that, but feels very, very ominous that he has to.

This may be the best SOTU response in...ever? Nailing all the right points: affordability, ICE abuses, corruption, Epstein.
Not sure it matters, but Spanberger is providing Dems a good template for assailing Trump and offering alternative values and policies.
Whenever I see these kinds of poll results, I'm always amazed that 35 percent of the American people support Trump's failed economic policies.

“Citizens are neither stopping nor impeding the government’s work. They are merely documenting it. And for this affront, the government treats them as adversaries to be controlled, intimidated, arrested, beaten, and occasionally killed.”

There are many heartbreaking things about Epstein but one of the worst is how much the abuse was made possible by preying on young women who needed help paying for their educations. Speaking as a scholarship student.
21.02.2026 15:01 — 👍 118 🔁 51 💬 4 📌 1The life sentencing of South Korea's former president and the arrest of former Prince Andrew in Britain are essential reminders that no one - especially the powerful - is above the law in a constitutional democracy. Time for the United States to get back on track.

Donald Trump, a profoundly corrupt individual, twice impeached, demanded that the Supreme Court provide him immunity protection for his misdeeds. Despite the obvious threat posed by a man favored to retake the Presidency while attacking democratic processes and promising retribution to his political opponents, the Republican majority granted his demand.
On news that the President of South Korea was sentenced to life in prison for insurrection, a good time to remember that real democracies do not hand their leaders immunity for actions in office.

It's a life prison sentence for ex-South Korean president Yoon, found guilty of leading an insurrection against the constitution when he declared martial law in 2024. Prosecutors had sought the death penalty, but the court spared him. Yoon's ex-defense minister is also sentenced to 30 years in jail.

Any democracy must look honestly and thoroughly at its history. Two important lawsuits filed this week in US federal courts aim to stop Trump from presenting distorted accounts of history and science at national parks - on issues such as civil rights, slavery, indigenous peoples and climate science.

Wake up, Democrats. Trump is about to effectively control TikTok, Twitter, CBS, Comedy Central and most likely CNN, HBO and two major movie studios. Where is our leadership to warn these media companies about consequences once we regain the WH?

Nominating someone who has attacked Black Americans, demeaned Jewish communities, and pushed white‑grievance mythology to a global diplomatic role doesn’t just test our standards. It exposes them. And it tells the world, with perfect clarity, exactly who we are willing to empower.

The last thing Europeans should want: an ICE of their own. And the way Europe's neo-Nazi parties now wish to emulate Trump's America brings a sad reminder of how far the United States has fallen in its 250th anniversary year.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

NEW: Federal judges are increasingly furious at what they see as a pattern / playbook of defiance by the Trump administration to court orders in immigration cases — in Minnesota and around the country.
Here’s a look at what they’re seeing: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
“Around 3,500 detainees, more than half of them minors, have cycled through the center… There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide… Moms told me that their kids had lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food…”
