Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Meta has deliberately cut civil rights and civil liberties out of its calculus. As an internal Meta memo reasoned, “Many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” The company presumably sees a business opportunity in the ongoing assault on American democracy. That’s where Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, is wrong: We are paying attention, and we understand clearly that this technology is part of that very same assault on our rights. We are always ready to fight, and we will continue to defend everyone’s rights — from both the government and Big Tech.

It was recently leaked that Meta plans to quietly roll out smart glasses equipped with facial recognition while civil liberties groups like ours are busy dealing with the Trump administration.

They're wrong. We can walk and demand Meta halt production on these creepy glasses at the same time.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Trump won't say if he'll send armed agents to the polls. So Dems are suing to find out “Trump wants to bully and cheat his way through a midterm election that he knows Republicans will lose, but we won’t let him,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said.

NEW: Democrats sued the Trump administration to unveil its plans on whether it would deploy troops on election day.

The lawsuit comes after it allegedly ignored 11 of the DNC’s FOIA requests seeking such information.

THIS ISN’T GETTING NEARLY ENOUGH ATTENTION

U.S. intelligence intercepted an encrypted transmission believed to be from Iran, possibly an operational trigger for sleeper cells.

🚨Government alert: Iran may be activating sleeper cells.

With Trump and Hegseth running the show, we’re screwed.

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.

The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.

Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."

Trump is so used to threatening people to get his way that Iran refusing to cave must be genuinely confusing for him. I’m not a military expert, but it seems like threatening a country whose political culture glorifies resistance and martyrdom isn’t exactly a winning strategy

Congress must prevent AI surveillance. The Anthropic feud proves it | Ashley Gorski and Patrick Toomey The company’s clash with the Pentagon is a fight over the future of American privacy

The Pentagon is demanding AI companies allow them to use their products to mass surveil Americans.

Congress must step in and take action now.

Donald Trump wears lifts. Markwayne Mullin stands on a platform.

We've turned the keys of the kingdom over to men overcompensating for their insecurities.

Tweet by Senator Patty Murray criticizing Trump’s Iran war, saying the narrative has shifted from “this isn’t a war” to fighting until unconditional surrender while Americans die and prices rise, arguing Congress must stop it.

Vote in the midterms like your children’s and grandchildren’s lives depend on it. Because they do.

This is what happens when one of the stupidest people in history is in charge of your government.

Let’s talk about bossware and if you haven’t heard that term yet, here’s what it is. Bossware is workplace surveillance software. Software that tracks your keystrokes, monitors what websites you visit, takes random screenshots of your screen throughout the day,

Post from Drop Site News claiming Bellingcat geolocation confirms U.S. Tomahawk missiles struck a girls’ primary school in southern Iran, killing around 180 people, most of them children, with an embedded tweet describing footage of the strike.

Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.

Thanks as always!

Bans Against Trans Athletes Will Not “Save Women’s Sports” Pushing trans athletes like Becky Pepper Jackson off the field enables discrimination and undercuts advancements in women’s sports.

Bans targeting transgender women harm all women.

We won't back down from promoting equality and inclusion in athletics.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

A knock on the window and a glimpse of America’s surveillance future “This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,” a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24–Mother Jones report.

“This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society.”

The DHS is using Mobile Fortify, an app that allows officers to photograph a person’s face and immediately query DHS databases for matches, on protestors.

Screenshot of an X post by Jeremy Loffredo saying Trump told CNN’s Dana Bash that liberating the Iranian people is not a goal of the war and that he would accept an undemocratic religious leader if they treated the U.S. and Israel “fairly.” Below is a CNN image of the White House with a graphic saying Trump told CNN he is not worried whether Iran becomes a democracy.

So, like Venezuela, but a lot bloodier and costlier. Great. All for what?
