The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
It is still happening. No country is stepping in. Cuba has helped so many movements and people around the world and they are being abandoned to die
Yeah, you're not wrong. I'm not sure regular people though are arguing that in completely bad faith, they could be convinced the 3rd way guys' argument is nonsense.
I think it is just completely flawed analysis on their part. Fine, maybe only, say, 5% of voters care enough about supporting Palestine to not vote over it. But in margins as tight as the last decade, losing 5% of your voters *will* cost you the election! And you could choose not to lose them!
awful news 🧪
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.
The closing of African American Studies and GWSS at Iowa is absolutely heartbreaking. It is such an important time to study these subjects. Words really cannot express how upsetting this decision is. www.thegazette.com/higher-educa...
NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website. substack.com/home/post/p-...
I think the ultimate problem is that she isn't recognizing that the deportation prison is inherently evil no matter how well it is managed!
Everyone in Michigan should take that statement by Stevens as immediately disqualifying.

NEW: In Iowa, when someone's charges are *dismissed,* they still had to pay court fees. So prosecutors pressured ppl into pleading guilty: 'plead guilty, you'll have no fees. (If you win, you'll owe $$.)'
Iowa's Supreme Court struck that down in January... but prosecutors want to bring it all back:
an email from krauss to epstein that reads "I. reminder: WORKSHOP WITH THE BIG BOYS. please confirm. 2. there actually will be some interesting people at wedding.. mostly from australia, and mostly fcmaic (sic. female) .. though too old for you. "
lawrence krauss has been responding to people on X acting like he didn't know the sorts of things epstein was up to (years after his very public conviction for sex offences, mind) & meanwhile he's all over the files saying things like this
I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Donald Trump, the man legally prohibited from establishing a charity for illegal use of funds, says he will donate to charity?
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
I prefer "abolish I.C.E." such an unambiguous demand!
DHS: Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE. If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.

We’re airing a new campaign ad, starting tomorrow.
Here it is:
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.
