Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

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.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

"The last time more people left the U.S. than moved in was 1935 and the destination of choice was the Soviet Union. More than 100,000 Americans applied to work the tractor plants, steel mills and factories of a communist dictatorship"

Opinion | One Man Stole $660 Million. He’ll Never Pay It Back.

β€œIlliberal governments tend to live or die by their ability to sustain corruption. They rely for support on a network of oligarchs, who in turn are tied to the administration’s success. It happened in Hungary, Turkey, Russia and increasingly, it is happening here.”

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

This is the reason behind the Trump
administration’s intense desire to ban Talarico content.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

3.8 million YOUTUBE views already, plus video clips spreading thru every platform like a tsunami, plus every main stream media outlet talking about how Colbert’s interview of @jamestalarico.bsky.social was censored…

In one day, Trump, Carr’s FCC and CBS have made James Talarico nationally famous.

After an @wired.com article listed a building owned by Freeman Webb among those leased to ICE, the @nashvillescene.com posts a statement from FW (their publisher) - now run by Rep. Bob Freeman (D) - saying they β€œactively concealed” that ICE is involved

FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Raw Story: Pam Bondi has faced a β€œMAGA media backlash” after deflecting from a question about Jeffrey Epstein by pivoting to the strong performance of the economy, a backlash so fierce that one political expert suspects she might get the boot from Trump.
