This is evil.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions."
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

State TV is not a lawful target unless it's being used for command and control, and there's zero reason to think it was

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security has had to correct information provided to at least five states after its SAVE voter tool misidentified some voters as noncitizens, according to correspondence between state and federal officials.

The person running the social media account for a guy running for Senate is not a mere shit poster. They should have sufficient media savvy to know an open and notorious neo Nazi.

Particularly if their guy is under fire for... Nazi associations.

Israel has been continuously bombing Lebanon almost every day for over a year. Anyone who tells you “Hezbollah broke the ceasefire” is either lying to you, or is just so incredibly biased that their brain genuinely doesn’t register Israeli bombings of Lebanon as ceasefire violations.

Bibi wants perpetual war so he is never prosecuted and MBS wants war because oil prices are too low.

It's not like @bennet.senate.gov is doing anything to oppose the Trump agenda in the Senate. Why is he afraid to have a discussion with Phil Weiser?

To give you a sense of how Georgia Democrats are doing, North Carolina Democrats are running candidates in all 170 legislative districts and all 14 congressional districts this fall

Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons and we wouldn't have attacked if they did. SHAME ON YOU.

don't you run the opposition party?

this milquetoast statement about process is why dems are perceived as weak and why congressional dems have a lower approval rating than the POS POTUS.

A journalist asked me today if the war would make the middle east more safe, given the Iranian regime's belligerence.

I explained that until the root causes of conflict - Israeli warfare & occupation, and Arab authoritarianism - are addressed, even (unlikely) regime change in Iran won't do much.

ChatGPT after you start a war in the Middle East:

it's hilarious that shitlibs like the quoted poster raise the specter of "communism" when... that ideology has had no political power in the US post 1940s (and even in it's heyday, it's most profound impact was probably scaring liberals into adopting the new deal).

The post in which he claims he did not invoke Newsom.

Newsom is not less than perfect. He is bad. He is bad because he believes human rights are privileges that can be taken away in exchange for power.

I'm done communicating via quotes with this guy who cannot even track his own statements.

Limited trans rights ≠ humans are humans and have human rights.

Once you concede the latter, you show that you are willing to trade away anyone's human rights.

Maybe don't boost any potential candidates who are willing to go down that path?

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

USian centric, but:

Zeteo (Mehdi Hassan) comes to mind, but it's a substack (with all the Nazi revenue sharing that entails).

The Nation (Elie Mystal does their justice beat)

Maybe rolling stone, wired, teen Vogue? They've done some good work in the Trump era (though RS appears to be softening)

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Fuck colonialism.

Slaughtering Iranians is bad. Bending the knee to Trump is bad.
Creating a new forever war is bad.

What about Iranian civilians? What about the more than a hundred school kids killed in a US/Israeli strike on their school?

The ramifications of this illegal war are very real for people you aren't even thinking about.

Schools, like hospitals, are not valid military targets. War crimes continue to be committed by the US/Israel regimes.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

Whoever made this, it’s BRILLIANT.

Trump’s “Board of Peace.”

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

Hooo boy. There we go. It was about domestic surveillance after all.

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

everything Labour complaint about the greens sounds like an old man having a breakdown at a 19 year old receptionist for having blue hair

So you have abandoned the rules based order and are in thrall to Trump.

Coward.

What if the US and UK had let Mohammed Mossadegh do his thing as the elected Prime Minister of Iran in 1953? Imagine the amount of bloodshed that might have been avoided.

But then again, British Petroleum didn’t want to sit idly by and let a country nationalize its oil reserves. The horror.
