The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

The U.S. armed forces may soon face the choice of whether to refuse illegal and unconstitutional orders, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. What will they do?

Israel needs to answer for war crimes. Their claim of being provoked collapsed after the first week of bombing. The last few years have been only genocide. For shame!

This woman is a disgrace. Blatant disregard for the authority of Congress. Thinks she’s above the law. Shame on her. Disgusting behavior #trumpgestapo

Federal agents shoot woman they say 'boxed in' authorities in Brighton Park Authorities were on patrol when they were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the drivers "was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," prompting officers to open fire, DHS said.

A woman was shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday on Chicago’s South Side, marking the second shooting since President Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month.

Trump’s Purge of Terrorism Prosecutors The politicization of the Justice Department is making Americans less safe.

Trump's Justice Department is firing the people who prosecute terrorists, Jake Tapper argues. The president's politically motivated personnel decisions make "the United States and the world less safe":

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

California vows to ‘instantly’ cut funding to universities that cave to Trump ‘compact’ Governor Gavin Newsom urges schools not to sign ‘radical agreement’ to cuts to departments, students and speech Any California universities that sign the Trump administration’s proposed “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” will “instantly” lose their state funding, California governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement. The Trump administration on Wednesday offered nine prominent universities, including the University of Southern California, the chance to sign a “compact” that asks the universities to close academic departments that “purposefully punish, belittle, and even spark violence against conservative ideas”, limit the proportion of international undergraduate students to 15% , accept the administration’s definition of gender and ban the consideration of race or sex in hiring and admissions, in exchange for “substantial and meaningful federal grants”.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Sad about Jane Goodall.

She had a way with words.

“I spent so long in nature on my own, that I really only need to close my eyes, and I'm sort of back there. If I'm in the middle of the city, I could close my eyes I can imagine the rumbling rain was the rain pounding on the canvas," she told me.

Republicans have shut down the government to take healthcare away from millions of Americans and give Trump a blank check for his illegal power grab.

I'm asking YOU:

What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family?

What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care?

Sorry to get political but I arrived in Portland this afternoon. Went out to see the “war zone” that the moron President thinks is here. The only war zone is in his head between the crazy & the stupid to see which controls his mouth. 😔🤬.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

All the new ICE officers better be forced to work without pay during the shutdown, just like the military, air traffic controllers, VA staff, and other essential federal workers. ICE goons don't deserve special treatment.

How rising costs are changing the way Americans travel Rising costs are causing a lot of Americans to think twice before booking a trip. And many who do travel are scaling back their ambitions and staying closer to home.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

Leave red states.

Gosh that’s a lot on your plate. In tough times, journaling has been a huge source of calm for me, helping to process difficult. Moments and find perspective. Writing does not have to be for public consumption

Not sure that the military needs lectures from a makeup-wearing TV host and a senile draft-dodger

This is not a fight about tax credits.

This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

WATCH: Susan Collins just voted to raise health care prices on Mainers and shut down the government.

Over 50,000 Mainers benefit from ACA tax credits, and she just voted against each and every one of them. #MESen
