This is where I scream into the void. Urbanization, bicyclist, environmentalist. Fighting liberal. Everyone deserves to exist without oppression or the denial of their humanity. The US Supreme Court is corrupt. Trump is a traitor. He/Him.

"Operation Epic Fury is being waged without the people who understand the region...Career diplomats are not ornamental. They are the institutional memory of American statecraft...negotiate ceasefires, secure the release of political prisoners, and build coalitions that kept our troops out of wars."

I answer this every time, and I’m happy to answer it again; detention is a tool of deportation. The goal is not to keep people detained indefinitely, although some people may be held for months, and in some cases even years. Once detained, deportation becomes dramatically easier for the government.

AFP: UN special rapporteur says the world has entered a "new dark age of abuses in the name of countering terrorism", with the United States "raining death" on Iran and Venezuela.

How the Epstein Files Reveal the Final Failure of QAnon This story is part of TPM Cafe, TPM’s home for opinion and...

Epstein is not proof Q was "right." Epstein is proof Q was catastrophically wrong. The cabal hasn't been shattered. The world hasn't been saved. Everyone got away with it, and the guy meant to usher in "the storm" is the one protecting the worst of the worst.

Concentration camp in Salt Lake City. What did this cost us? Looks like waste, fraud, and abuse.

U.S. Air Force Refueling Plane Crashes in Iraq A U.S. KC-135 fuel tanker crashed in western Iraq on Thursday. Rescue operations are under way and the U.S. military didn’t say whether airmen were killed or wounded. Any casualties would be the first...

β€œRescue operations are under way and the U.S. military didn’t say whether airmen were killed or wounded...Two aircraft were involved in the incident, said Central Command…The second aircraft landed safely.…the loss of the plane was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.” About the entire story.

My Dee-troit peeps!! Fuck this sign. And fuck anyone that Stephen β€œJust call me Goebbels” Miller is working with. Duggan isn’t pushing back against this and neither is John James. Both are running to be the next governor of MI, replacing Big Gretch. Y’all make a stink about this!!!

"Donald Trump stood in front of cameras and said Iran did it. He lied. About dead children. Without blinking. And his crew backed him up, even knowing it was a lie."

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

TAMPA, Fla. -- U.S. Central Command is aware of the loss of a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing. Two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely.
This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.
More information will be made available as the situation develops. We ask for continued patience to gather additional details and provide clarity for the families of service members.

A point that always needs to be made is that these spaces belong to the taxpayer and policy should be geared towards driving higher returns from these assets. That does not necessarily mean more on-street spaces.

Eye Doctor Named to Air Pollution Advisory Board Draws Pushback

"The Trump administration has tapped an eye doctor with no background in air pollution science to advise the Environmental Protection Agency on what levels of air pollutants are safe to breathe."

Sigh.

Trump is a bigot. Republicans are bigots. Transgender children often have puberty delayed until they can make their own informed adult decisions. This delay is reversible.

Indiana judge says state's abortion ban violates religious freedom of those seeking abortions A judge ruled that the law can’t favor conservative theology while ignoring other faith traditions

Anti-abortion activists have long used β€œreligious freedom” to get exemptions from laws they dislike.

Now that same argument just helped block Indiana’s abortion ban.

The irony is delicious. πŸ‘‡

The FBI strongly defended this program two years ago, mainly by citing a bunch of internal reforms and oversight measures it had put in place. Patel has now gotten rid of that.
