The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back β€œgay conversion therapy.”

This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

β€œ.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Morning russian shelling of Kherson destroyed several houses, killing a woman who was trapped under the rubble. Rescuers pulled two more injured people from the debris.

In total, 12 civilians, including two children, have been injured since the beginning of the day.

everyone says it for a reason: really important to lock in when it comes to fitness and health. just establishing good habits β€” regular exercise including strength training, eating a balanced diet β€” will pay huge dividends

You may not be paying attention to this story,

but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with.

Kyren took his own life in April.

We must remember this time. When Americans took delight in the suffering of others. Cheered it on. Clapped. Laughed. All the whilst calling themselves Christians.

The whole world sees you now America.

And it’s not pretty.

You are not a country people want to support.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

THERE’S NO BOTTOM WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Operation β€œFreaky Friday”, a calculated scheme targeting some of the most vulnerable people in the country: immigrant children.

ICE is sending letters offering minors $2,500 for β€œvoluntary” departure, while threatening enforcement if they refuse.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

The government does not have the power to declare β€œfree speech zones.” And the violent arrest of the rabbi should set off some alarm bells.

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"State Terror: A brief guide for Americans"
Revisiting a piece I wrote in April 2025
"In the history of state terror, the escape from law into coercion takes three forms... the leader principle; the state of exception; and the zone of statelessness."

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.
