This is what ecocide looks like.

This isnt a misfire. This is US/Israel policy. Since World War II, Israel and the US have done more than any other two countries to try and rewrite the laws of war to justify the massive bombardment of civilians and civilian structures. This is how they "win" - thru criminality x.com/Sani_ir/stat...

Trump is adding anti-trans provisions to SAVE America Act Trump appears to be using culture-war issues, which are popular among Republican voters, to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers to back the bill.

The White House confirmed that Trump is pressing Congress to add new provisions targeting transgender people to the SAVE America Act — a sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions.

If the Senate were to comply, the measure would have to return to the House for another vote.

🔹️$15.1 million for ribeye steak 🥩
🔹️$2 million for Alaskan king crab 🦀
🔹️ and even $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons grand piano

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

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.

Hegseth and Stephen Miller ridiculed "rules of engagement" and vowed this war won't be "politically correct." Now it looks like we may have bombed an elementary school. Hegseth/Miller's certainty that their version of "strength" would have support is imploding. 3/

Lindsey Graham’s Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran Few others in the president’s ear argued for the attack as effectively as South Carolina’s senior senator.

If a US Senator wants the US to go to war against another country, he should introduce a war authorization and push for a vote in the US Congress.

Not subvert the Constitution to achieve that end.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Child care workers earn less than 96% of jobs in New York State and it's Kathy Hochul's fault. There will never be enough child care for every family that needs it as long as this is the reality, but every year she does whatever she can during the state budget to keep them in poverty.

Absolutely ridiculous that Republicans (minus Paul, plus Fetterman) all lined up to defend Trump's ability to do an end-run around Congress and just start a war unilaterally. Cowards.

The Daily Show reminded us in the montage below how Netanyahu has LIED about the "imminent" threat of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons since 1995. Netanyahu has for years wanted US to bomb Iran. Netanyahu simply found in Trump a moron willing to sacrifice Americans for his cause:

It’s not supporting the troops to send them off to kill and die in an illegal war of aggression whose purpose is to make sure that their votes don’t count.

When we say no war but class war we mean that no one in Iran is poisoning our water or stealing our wages or kidnapping our neighbors. And the people who are? They're spending our money on killing Iranians

So Hegseth is attacking Scouting America for treating trans kids with respect, including respecting their chosen names... at the same time he demands you respect the made up name for his department, which he changed illegally without congressional approval.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

She’s raised almost $20m to help Minnesota – she thinks you can do it too Ashley Fairbanks launched Stand with Minnesota as ICE raids rocked her home town – now donations are pouring in, and families’ rent is being paid

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.

I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.

I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

It's ironic that Trump's talking about ending wars while also bringing our country to the brink of a war that the American people do not want.

Gov. Kotek tried to destroy preschool for all on behalf of the rich and was defeated handily by parents, teachers, unions, and socialist electeds.

Now she’s retreating by announcing some vague panel to study the issue.

The working class is strong when we fight together for what we deserve. 💪
