After Cornyn and Paxton were forced into a runoff, I said we should watch just how far Senator Cornyn is willing to put his head up trump's ass for his endorsement. Now he's flipping on the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act and disenfranchise millions of voters. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...
Thanks to those who participated in our webinar with @rightsdissent.bsky.social about a bill to reform the outdated Espionage Act, and a special thanks to our panelists: Rep. Rashida Tlaib, @robertellsberg.bsky.social, @laurenleharper.bsky.social, and @trevortimm.bsky.social.

Pretty cool from our friends @rsf.org: To mark the World Day Against Cyber Censorship Thursday, they added a room to their virtual library in Minecraft that focuses on the U.S.
We agree with them that even democracies need a reminder that they must defend themselves against attacks on the press.
It is both pathetic & dangerous to see Republicans actively stoking a religious war in a country that was founded on the value of religious freedom.
Fortunately, the good people of NYC did not fall for this grotesque, bigoted fear mongering against @mayor.nyc.gov.
NEW: A sharp warning in an ordinary news release: "President Trump’s Justice Department.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi has made clear since day one her view that DOJ's lawyers are "his lawyers." On Thursday, DOJ went further, claiming it's "Trump's Justice Department."
Today, at Law Dork:
"We designed the document to be a guided conversation starter for people with Long COVID & their clinicians...while we wait for the results of clinical trials."

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
Sen. Jim Banks ($368k from AIPAC) voted to continue the unprovoked and illegal U.S. war on Iran.
When we asked him about it, though, he could only deflect with lies about CODEPINK's funding.
Banks knows he can't defend one of the most unpopular wars in U.S. history, so he doesn't even try.
"Patients and communities can play a direct role.
Ask your clinic: “What happens to my data beyond this visit? Do you have policies that protect it from ICE?”
Ask your hospital whether they contract with companies that also work with ICE."
A historic settlement returns $8.5 million and land to Black families in Portland, Oregon, who were displaced by a decades-old redevelopment scheme — and sets a precedent for cities nationwide.
we’ll have more but in this deposition, he talks about how DOGE bros labelled grants as “crazy” “bad” and that’s literally almost anything other than founding father American 250 stuff
At a Blackrock event, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says that people who don't want drilling and mining and development on protected federal lands " don't understand the financial impact." He says it would be better if people were more "financially literate."

This was *the* case pro-Israel defenders would point at to say "See? Israel takes human rights violations seriously!"
And after all that — including mobs of Israeli rioters and politicians storming a military base to protest the arrest of these soldiers — it's being dropped.
French news channel, LCI, airs a split screen simultaneously showing footage of Trump dancing to YMCA in front of a rally crowd as oil fields in the
Middle East are in flames
Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: Justice has been done. I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them. This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled. The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas. I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.
The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.
Congressional and Presidential candidates who support Trump's illegal war in Iran could be toast in their primary races, according to our exclusive new poll with @dropsitenews.com. Especially if they are Democrats.
Full results, including on the war's Epstein factor:

My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers — not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:
Donald Trump says he’s bombing Iran to prevent the regime from obtaining a nuclear weapons. But he may be providing with Tehran more incentive to sprint toward nuclear bomb development.
David Corn spoke to Joe Cirincione, a veteran nuclear policy expert, about Iran's growing uranium stockpile.
The federal government had the opportunity to challenge monopoly power in the live entertainment industry.
Now it’s settling.
Fans will still face sky-high ticket prices. Artists will still face barriers to venues.
Settlement isn’t the solution. Antitrust enforcement is.
This man is fucking insane and in charge of the world’s most dangerous company.
WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East?
REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance
W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that?
R: I cannot explain that
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

AP: BREAKING: The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.
The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.

"One cannot understand the Iran War without understanding the Kahanists. But I rarely see analysts mention them. Maybe they did, and it was behind a paywall. If a war crime is subscription-only, does it make a sound? Is that sound a stifled scream?"
