A nebula with red and blue colors faintly glows in the light of a very bright star.

The Ghost of Cassiopeia nebula. Cassiopeia (the bright star) is an Ethiopian queen in Greek mythology. Her star illuminates nearby dust clouds, imparting a ghostly, ethereal appearance.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

Chicago Alderperson @jessiefuentes.bsky.social was handcuffed by federal agents in a hospital Friday when she went to visit an injured man detained by ICE. She joins me at 12p ET #Velshi

REPOST if you’re PROUD of Greta Thunberg for what she does for Palestine✊🏻

The judge is a woman.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

It would be so delicious if the fall of America caused so much spite in the world against social media oligarchs that we finally get some laws against disinformation, online harassment, and political interference.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

Feds plan ‘full investigation’ into Portland police after arrest of conservative journalist U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's office says Portland police may be engaging in "viewpoint discrimination."

Gotta love it when out of state agitators come to Portland , OR to perpetrate their own narrative and when they get arrested by the notoriously brutal Portland Police Department, manage to convince Pam Bondi that our police are actually part of antifa.

The shitter it all gets, the more I’m going to post about mandolins and fairies.

That’s it, that’s the plan.

Exactly 💥

If Kristi Noem is so upset about being denied access to a bathroom, she should address oversight being denied access to ICE facilities. One seems a little more important than the other.

CALIFORNIANS!!!!

my mom made me watch the news every day and I was about 8 when the Rwandan genocide happened and I'm no longer naive enough to think humans *do* anything about genocide but we are, at least, supposed to call it when we see it and that we don't is just crushing my entire chest into a black hole

When you’re chronically ill, your world can be quite small.

People abandon you when you become disabled. When you can’t hide your pain.

The isolation can be just as hard as the illness… but please know you’re not alone.

None of us are ever alone. We are all fighters & this community has your back

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?
