With violent rhetoric targeting Obama beginning to spread on fringe platforms, fanned by Trump’s and Gabbard’s posts, we risk further normalizing political violence which is already on the rise.

I want to know if the President of the United States is a pedophile. And I know the American people do too.

I'm shocked that Republicans would rather shut down Congress than stand up to a dead pedophile.

So why not release the files?

BREAKING: Israeli Settlers Kill American Citizen in Occupied West Bank, Family Says Sayfollah Musallet was visiting his family in the village of Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya when settlers allegedly beat him unconscious and blocked an ambulance from reaching him for hours.

If Hamas had just killed an Israeli-American there’d be wall to wall coverage in the US media. But Israeli settlers just killed a Palestinian-American so you’ll read about it at Zeteo but not many other places:

Religious orgs can now endorse candidates and keep tax-exempt status. That means no public disclosures, no donation limits, and tax-deductible dark money funneled through churches. If you thought campaign finance was bad before, welcome to the pulpit PAC era.

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

Washington DC is making public buses free forever Analysts say D.C.’s free fare system offers a good test case on how public transit can be reshaped for a post-pandemic future.

I’ll just leave this here, for reasons. You can drop this into the replies of car guys if you wish.

in case you didn't know these Medicaid cuts are over 10 years. there's still time to thwart it. Republicunt Red Wedding at midterms, impeach overnight. then rescind all executive orders and laws since the orange shitgibbon took office the second time.

In Ireland, the Potato Famine is known as The Great Hunger because it wasn't just a famine, the British chose to divert food away from the starving Irish people.

In Gaza, the starvation of Palestinians isn't just a byproduct of war - it is a policy choice. A choice America must not be complicit in.

Elon Musk's Grok Chatbot Goes Full Nazi, Calls Itself 'MechaHitler' Elon Musk's Grok chatbot has unleashed a slew of antisemitic commentary and praised Hitler after apparent change allowed to be 'politically incorrect'

xAI has disabled Grok, deleted a slew of its antisemitic and neo-Nazi posts, posted a statement, and are evidently rolling back the prompt that made it identify as "MechaHitler," but this new low for Elon Musk's chatbot will live in internet infamy:

Not sure if most people realize that there are no release dates at CECOT. All detentions are indefinite

Crimes against humanity.
MAGA is pure evil.
The Constitutionally disqualified, illegitimate, corrupt, Russian asset, political thief, criminal felon and his cronies and enablers all need to go now!

Congress Gives ICE More Money Than It Could Have Ever Imagined It’s impossible to overstate how much power ICE just got from Trump’s budget.

Republicans just took away your healthcare so they can fund their secret police: newrepublic.com/post/197612/...

“Face recognition technology is notoriously unreliable, frequently generating false matches and resulting in a number of known wrongful arrests across the country. Immigration agents relying on this technology to try to identify people on the street is a recipe for disaster. Congress has never authorized DHS to use face recognition technology in this way, and the agency should shut this dangerous experiment down,” Nathan Freed Wessler, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, told 404 Media in an email.

this is a massive election for the future of san diego county (3.1M residents!) and has gotten very little national attention. honestly not that much local attention either!

NYC voted for a socialist candidate. We are done with status quo Dems. We are not riding the fence anymore. Bring candidates who will offer us what we actually need and stop feeding us the sane centrist neocon shit that got us here.

The Demise of Agency Independence and the FCC | The Regulatory Review The likely end of the FCC’s independence should spur Congress to overhaul the agency.

In this week’s Saturday Seminar, scholars examine how accelerating AI lawsuits are turning courts into de facto regulators—shaping discovery duties, data-retention orders, and evidentiary standards even as legislative and agency guidance lags. www.theregreview.org/2025/06/21/s...

Glad to hear it!

Lots of it is "AI"-whatever-scripted or -aided, too.

The most disturbing part of the current moment isn’t just that the right is trying to manifest violence, it’s how visibly and uncontrollably entertained they are by the thought of it. They feed on cruelty and outrage. Starve them with peace and loud truth.

Until now. For instance, the cancer scientist Kseniia Petrova, a Russian immigrant who worked at Harvard’s renowned Kirschner Lab, has been in a Louisiana ICE prison for two months now, and is facing deportation to Russia because she allegedly lied to a border control officer about carrying frog embryos for research purposes. Not only is this likely false—she told NBC News that she did tell the officers the truth—but the usual penalty for such a piddling violation is a $500 fine, knocked down to $50 for a first offense. Instead, ICE revoked her J-1 visa and threw her in prison pending a hearing to deport her back to Russia, where she might easily end up in prison or dead for criticizing the Putin regime. Petrova is not just any cancer scientist—she is perhaps the world’s top expert on analyzing the images produced by a new cutting-edge, ultra-specialized microscope that is being developed to diagnose cancer cases. Leon Peshkin, Petrova’s manager, told NBC that the task “requires a unique set of skills because you have to both be able to work as an embryologist and do applied math, modeling, data analysis and bioinformatics—all in one package.” Nobody else in the lab could do what she does, he added.

one of the world's top cancer scientists, who works for Harvard, is at risk of deportation to Russia where she might be killed for criticizing Putin, because she allegedly failed to disclose carrying frog embryos at the border. it's upending American medical research: prospect.org/health/2025-...

Truly awful; and yet, not new! Been the case for many years!

What’s happening now is that Congressional democrats had FINALLY gotten support for legal services funding for unaccompanied migrant kids, and hundreds of lawyers were working on these cases — then Trump killed the funding in one day.

Look at this sweet, innocent baby —small, scared, utterly alone in a courtroom. No lawyer. No protection. No justice. Trump cut legal aid for migrant children, tearing away their last lifeline.
They say they care about families. But this? This is sanctioned cruelty.
