I don't think it's good that the president is threatening the Iranian men's national soccer team with violence, tbh.

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:

Did he just threaten to kill the Iranian national team if they set foot on American soil? Is that the implication here?

Maybe it should matter that the President of the United States threatened the lives of the Iranian soccer team, who can say

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.

A major throughline of the Trump administration.

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Filthy racists hate being called filthy racists which is why we must loudly, publicly, continuously call them filthy racists at every single turn.

DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days The woman's family said federal agents told them that she was not in custody despite her phone location previously showing her at the Broadview facility.

When I watched a smiling Lionel Messi applauding Trump’s cartoon villain bloodlust, I thought about Muhammad Ali going on international television to deliver his poem condemning the Attica prison massacre, telling the world that fascists would never conquer the human spirit.

A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.

‘It’s like the Day of Judgment out here.’ New England residents trapped in Middle East as war escalates. - The Boston Globe “There’s nothing you can do but just sit and pray and hope nothing happens,” said Hassan Mourad, who arrived in Beirut last week on business.

U.S. citizens are trapped in the Middle East with no clear information and no way out.

Donald Trump's response? “It happened all very quickly.”

This is a complete failure.

I'm pressing the Trump administration for a plan to evacuate Americans now.

The 2nd Trump Administration has stripped over 1.6 million immigrants of their legal status, damaging our economy and national security.

Congress must take steps to create legal pathways that will strengthen our communities.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Zeteo column: Subtext with Prem Trump and Vance’s Radical ICE Disaster Will Hurt Republicans in the Midterms What if we rightly covered Republicans how centrist and conservative media lazily covers the Left?

What it would look like if the media covered politics accurately:

"The politics of immigration have completely changed…The right would do well to be more realistic and pragmatic, rather than cede ground to the loudest, most extreme elements…Meet Americans where they are."

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

Right now, there's open grumbling on the right -- Ted Cruz said there was no need for war and even lickspittles like Matt Walsh are having trouble with the quick reversal here -- but that window will close and they'll circle the wagons soon enough.

Dems need to be vocal and unsparing now.

And they should go much harder, to keep this administration on its heels.

Right now, public support is heavily against the invasion, but the White House and their media outlets are going to be pushing the propaganda hard and a lot of their base will rally around Trump again soon.

Iranians came together to bid a final farewell to 168 young girls, aged 7 to 12, who were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike targeting their elementary school.

“Joined by her daughter, the pair thought they were entering a routine appointment. The interview went well, they said, but then a federal agent approached them.”

DHS admits it deported more than 80 DACA recipients “Dreamers” who came to the U.S. as children are protected under U.S. law, so deportations of them are unusual.

“The Department of Homeland Security admitted to Congress this month that it deported dozens of unauthorized immigrants who are protected under U.S. law because they were brought as children to the United States, according to a letter made public Thursday.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
