Bipartisan US Push Tries to Label Democratic African Government as “Terrorist” The UN treats the Polisario as the legitimate representative of the Western Sahara people. The US is now vilifying it.

Bipartisanship in labeling ppl as terrorist when the US has terrorized not just Africa but the ME, and every other part of the globe while denying any responsibility for terrorism. Ask the ppl of Khartoum who worked at a pharmaceutical plant that was obliterated by 🇺🇸

Yeah when that 2011 earthquake (epicenter Mineral, Virginia) happened, I’d already run out of my 3rd floor office and out of building and been outside for quite some time before the USGS reports eventually showed up.

While we still have a USGS 😢

Why are they talking about candidates for interim president? Isn’t JJ already the interim president?

Yeah the success of Lil Nas X and Beyoncé got country music Grammy execs so shook that they started a new “traditional” category 😒

ISRAEL DETAINED AND then deported an American nurse who tried to save the life of Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist who worked on the Oscar-winning documentary film “No Other Land.” After Israeli settler Yinon Levi allegedly shot and killed Hathaleen on Monday in Umm al-Khair, a village in the occupied West Bank, the critical care nurse gave Hathaleen four rounds of CPR. She cradled his head in her hands, checking his pulse and whispering “You’re OK,” as he bled out, the nurse told The Intercept. The medical worker asked not to be named because they fear for their safety. Hathaleen was then taken away in an ambulance, where he died before reaching the hospital.

Israel just detained and then deported an American nurse for trying to save a Palestinian life.

Trump’s mental decline is undeniable — so what now? hemselves, that there is a problem, just as Biden’s supporters did for him.    Donald Trump is showing all the signs of suffering from dementia. If this were a neighbor, a parent, or a family frien…

"In older people, confabulation is one of the clearest early signs of dementia...Once you have seen that Donald Trump is confabulating, it cannot be unseen — and all sorts of other mildly disturbing incidents suddenly fall into place."

The absurd thing is that David Grossman could not say this at Columbia or else he would be accused of antisemitism.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Oh, true. But who were her rivals during the GOP primary? She’s so lacking in political charisma I don’t know what GOP voters (with a range of primary options) see in her.

This autocrat shoots the messenger dynamic is one I remember well from my years of working and living in Cuba. Then the less brave bureaucrats go into self-preservation mode and spout out flattering lies. Then there is a complete disconnect between state-controlled media and people’s daily reality.

yeah, so, this is alarming beyond words. if Trump compromises the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the integrity of the government data that *the global economy relies upon at all levels* goes right into the dumpster

Congressional Democrats threaten investigation if Harvard makes deal with Trump - The Boston Globe The group of 14 Congressional Democrats said Harvard can still lead by example, and not agree to terms from Trump.

More than a dozen members of Congress who earned degrees from Harvard University are warning their alma mater not to cut any deal with President Trump, and that doing so could warrant a congressional investigation.

No AP News alerts, no Union-Tribune alerts or articles, no emails from UC either. I work at a UC and I would not know that UCLA lost all grant funding last night if I wasn't on Bluesky or in union group chats.

Self-preserving silence and general complacency are becoming more common.
