Loomer spent weeks posting racist stereotypes about Indians on X then flew to India anyway. Rajdeep Sardesai looked her dead in the eye & said “you’re brazenly racist and Islamophobic.” She had no answers. Just tears.

U.S. mainstream media, take notes. This is accountability journalism.

Strange things are happening in commodities markets, with silver prices in particular rising even faster than gold over recent months. The entire extended Trump clan hawks various coins and crypto products. trib.al/AGJbACK

Jews are targeted in shuls & online.

Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.

Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.

Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.

Trans & queer people are being outlawed.

We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

Everyone should be ‘pro-abortion’ when the patient is a child, UBC scholars argue - UBC News When a child becomes pregnant, treating her as an adult overlooks potential medical harms and ethical duties involved. UBC scholars argue that a child’s best interests make abortion the appropriate st...

Pregnant children face serious risks and lifelong consequences if they carry to term, and often need adult guidance in making a decision. It makes no sense to be "pro-life" or "pro-choice" in these cases. We should be pro-abortion when the patient is a child.

After Day 1 of this debacle, all the MAGA accounts were talking about Trump liberating the Iranian people, installing a new pro-US leader, liberating women from oppression, seizing all their uranium. Not many of those posts 11 days later.

Iran targets commercial ships, Dubai airport and oil facilities as concerns grow over global energy Iran has attacked commercial ships across the Persian Gulf and targeted Dubai International Airport, escalating a campaign of squeezing the energy-rich region as global energy concerns mounted, as American and Israeli airstrikes pound the Islamic Republic.

An attack on Iraq’s Basra port killed at least one person and caused authorities to halt operations at all the country’s oil terminals, officials said Thursday.

U.S. voters oppose war in Iran, strongly against Trump sending ground troops: Quinnipiac poll Nearly half of those polled are concerned gas prices will rise due to the conflict, while another 25% said they are somewhat concerned.

1. Again, it’s the president’s war, not America’s.

Poll after poll after poll show a majority, sometimes a vast majority, does not want the US to be entangled in a Middle East war.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.

They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

Which is why, @nytimes.com, learning that a piece of writing is AI changes how people feel about it, in the same way that most people are repulsed by learning a once-favoured artist is a rapist: because context is inherent to interpreting art, and the sole context of genAI is profound contempt.

Warning: The Chaos President THRIVES on Chaos Failed wars have tail risks for democracy.

COVID deaths, his attempted coup, and his felony convictions hurt him at the margins but consolidated his base of support. Trump's Iran war may function the same way.

If you want different results, elect different people.

It's not good enough to just replace them; you have to hand power to the right people.

Don't vote for more corporate-owned cowards to replace the ones currently behaving in cowardly, complicit ways.

Elect Courage. @couragefordemocracy.com
