A UN watchdog today criticized "intensified immigration crackdowns" in the U.S. and accused President Trump and other American leaders of using "racist hate speech" — both of which it said had "sparked grave human rights violations."
conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity
Any serious examination of the "diplomacy" of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner comes to one very obvious conclusion: they're in it for private profit, which they exploit the name and reputation of the US to achieve. They have no interest in brokering peace. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/03/w...
Sen. John Cornyn announced he supports scrapping the filibuster if needed to pass a voting restrictions bill, a marked change from his longtime support of the procedural tool as he courts the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
The DNC is suing the Trump administration for refusing to answer a simple question, “are you planning to put armed agents or military at polling places?” They submitted 11 FOIA requests and have gotten zero answers.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Have posted this before but thought I'd repost the article by @sulliview.bsky.social, as there's more going on than the illegal war in Iran - though some would prefer you don't focus on too much else.

Nah, we’d rather blow through billions of taxpayer dollars doing it the dumb way because we know more than anyone about everything and Trump has a blank check from Congress.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

"Living in a land of such obscene cruelty demands of us deep compassion. A ballast to the bellicose & brutal reality imposed upon us by America’s most broken man. We must not shrink from their criminality, but counter it with truth & empathy. The world needs the light that exists within all of us."
Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
