Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Is this karma? In Trump's horrific, senseless war of choice, crucial help will soon be needed from Ukraine, a country Trump betrayed but the only country on the planet with expertise in shooting down Iranian-made drones.

Sure.

The Canadian one was a printer. The American one was a farmer and later an executive with Big Dairy. I think nowadays you might call him a milk industry lobbyist

The liberal justices call out the *rank* hypocrisy of their Republican colleagues on the Court

The Kobayashi Maru Training Exercise for people with "In This House We Believe" signs in their yard.

I remember when this song came out and I hoped she’d be huge. I still hope that.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Just a reminder that the Trump administration canceled all of the electrical grid improvement projects the DOE funded for Puerto Rico. Oh, and all of the solar projects, too.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

The files they say your name about a thousand times
But when you partied with Epstein you didn’t do no crimes
Your lawyer screams it’s time to simply turn the page
And besides the girls you paid for seemed to be of age

YOU GOTTA FIGHT …

The subject of a Chotining always thinks he’s going to be the first to avoid his inevitable fate

When I went to bed last night, the New York Times home page headline read “Videos Appear to Contradict Federal Account of Fatal Shooting.” This morning, the headline is “Videos Contradict Federal Account of Fatal Shooting.”

Small victories.

BREAKING: New angle released of the federal agent involved shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The dreaded falafeloofitis

Yes, but the number has been limited to 435 since 1929, when the US population was less than 130 million. The size of the EC is determined by number of senators plus house members. Doubling the house would give high population states more EC clout.

If we double the size of the House, which would dilute the lopsided power of the big empty states, I'd be more likely to support the Electoral College. Easier, too: no Constitutional Amendment needed.

I think people should be allowed to vote from prison too

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

CBS News on X: BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition. 10:51 AM

Zero percent chance this is true.

One thing that is getting conflated:

ICE is not law enforcement.

ICE is immigration enforcement.

There's a BIG difference between the two.

How UVA’s presidential search missed what took us an hour to find Inside Higher Ed frames the controversy surrounding Scott C. Beardsley's appointment as the University of Virginia's president.

This seems to strongly suggest that the incoming president of UVA doctored his CV to the edge of outright dishonesty, and that the most recent changes came months before Jim Ryan was forced, as if they were made in anticipation in Ryan’s removal. augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...

As a Kellogg, I endorse this

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."
