When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

ICE locked up a 6-year-old with leukemiaβ€”after his court hearing. He cried every night. Not from chemo, but from what we did to him.
This isn’t policy. It’s cruelty.
I won’t fund it. I won’t stay silent.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

There’s an active investigation into the access DOGE officials gained to federal IT systems. Fortunately, detailed documentation was kept by many along the way. More DOGE β€œresignations” are expected.

Israel’s attack on Iran puts a leader addicted to war in the spotlight If the wars stop, Netanyahu’s right-wing nationalist coalition likely falls apart – and he will almost certainly be back in court facing corruption allegations that could see him jailed

After more than 600 days of bloodshed in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and now a fresh attack on Iran, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu increasingly looks like a leader who is using those wars to extend his hold on power - and avoid facing the courts.

My analysis

It is a disgrace that the Department of Defense continues to post partisan political messages on social media and a disgrace that the DHS Secretary is making political statements about elections from the Oval Office. They piss on this country’s traditions daily. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Judge rules suit challenging DOGE and Elon Musk's power over government can continue A judge has denied a request to dismiss a lawsuit alleging Elon Musk and DOGE are wielding unconstitutional power within the government. Separately, Musk also criticized a Trump-backed spending bill.

Every nation (and T-Mobile) should terminate its contracts with Starlink. This is a service that can be turned off at the whim of its sociopath CEO and can't be trusted.

Scotland should also impose a special "Ukraine War Tax" on Trump's golf pasture.

When Space Junk Fell on My Neighbor’s Farm, the Law Had Few Answers for Us A Saskatchewan farmer’s near miss with potentially lethal debris falling from orbit highlights the skyrocketing risks and murky politics of space junk

Just off BBC Radio Scotland, talking about 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿ScotRail's decision to sign up to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet for all their Highland trains. I think I rather upset presenter Kaye Adams with this story of space junk falling from the sky...πŸ˜¬πŸ”­

Starlink has partners in 8 countries. It works with existing phones.

It is also forging deals with rail companies, starting with Scotland.

This means that he is now starting to have access to a tremendous and unprecedented amount of data, on top of his already extraordinary access to capital.

It would be more than reasonable to ask what competitor systems were consider, and in what grounds they were rejected

Just as a batch of South American countries cancelled Starlink contracts in the last week, valued at $29 billion apparently

Is Musk trying to buy Scotland?

Uh oh. We have the six month trial period to convince ScotRail that they should drop this. (Probably less than six months...)

Can't believe #scotrail have chosen to adopt starlink. Everything Musk touches is poison and I'm angry his company was given the contract rather than any other. The man is toxic and should not get our taxes in Scotland! #snp #scotland #transport
