BREAKING: James Talarico wins the Democratic Senate primary in Texas.

Talarico ran on fighting corruption in DC, and winning back power for working people.

In an era of vast inequality Talarico told voters that β€œbillionaires are waging class warfare against the rest of us.”

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

In Cuba, relentless US pressure tells in human suffering Trump’s oil blockade has driven the island’s long-standing humanitarian crisis to a new level. Cubans are running short of coping strategies.

The US blockade on oil shipments to Cuba is collective punishment; creating a full-blown humanitarian collapse. Healthcare, food systems, electricity, and public services are deteriorating rapidly and simultaneously. It’s the elderly and children suffering. www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature...

If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. US voting system is cooked

Ilhan Omar: Five steps to take in response to Operation Metro Surge "Nothing about what we witnessed was normal," U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar writes. "Where do we go from here?"

Trump’s β€œOperation Metro Surge” was a militarized campaign of fear that treated immigrants as criminals and weaponized the federal government against U.S. citizens.

We need independent investigations, real accountability, and to abolish ICE.

I've never seen anything like this before.

There are currently at least 14 (fourteen!) KC-135R Stratotankers on their way to the Middle East. Inbound from bases across the United States.

They're used to refuel other aircraft in the air.

U.S. & Israel are ratcheting up tension in this Middle East war. They’ve hit a ton of non-military sites now in Iran, and Iran has struck back hard at Israel, Dubai and Qatar especially. This is just going to get worse and will lead to a much wider conflict.

Air travel chaos intensifies as airports remain closed, flights canceled amid Iran war Air travel chaos intensified as the war with Iran stretched into a third day β€” keeping airspace and airports in the Middle East closed and leaving travelers stranded.

"Airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha β€” important hubs for travel between Europe, Africa and the West to Asia β€” remained shuttered after they were all directly hit by Iranian strikes."

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

It's not a better deal, Netflix is just being squeezed, which is fine they deserve it.

Fascism is powerless without media corporations. With so many choices, living without these 3 for a while is easy. If every passive subscriber not getting their money's worth canceled they'd be finished
