Who is demanding the imposition of sharia law in America?
I can't think of anyone calling for that, much less enough of a groundswell that it warrants an actual response from Congress.
Who's pushing this, Mike? Name names.
I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
HOLY SHIT.
I have the lowest opinion imaginable of this cohort but that’s still insanely high.
As always, a must-read by @keshavarziana.bsky.social. An insightful, historically grounded look at the domestic sociopolitical and economic dynamics as well as the international conditions that have ushered in the current moment of crisis for #Iran and the broader region.

I go no responses from anyone I reached out to.
Guess they're all fine with comments like this!
You can instantly tell a lot of people never had parents or grandparents who did farming
Where to find more information on the context of these DOGE videos.
We should take people who say these things seriously and take their ideas seriously. This is actual no-shit eugenics if taken seriously. The implicit claim here is that things like MRI machines or pharmaceutical medications were a mistake. In the age of HHS Sec RFK Jr it’s not just harmless granola.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
NEW: Even the strongest anti-abortion advocates don't want to punish people for pregnancy loss. Police and prosecutors are finding ways to do it anyway.
Here's what happens when miscarriage is recast as murder:
You want another Fetterman? Because this is how you get another Fetterman.
Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs
AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard.
First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are

"Iran has some Tomahawks" is a shit lie, even by Trump's standards.
Unstinting efforts by Israel to manage media perceptions just as with Gaze
According to DOGE flunky, a documentary about the experiences of Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust is "inherently discriminatory." Come ON.

"Update #10 from @HamidRezaAz
packed with developments that show a fundamental error in US-Israeli thinking;
