As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Has any previous conflict started with a majority of the country opposed? Plus, it's not even close. In contrast, after the Iraq War began, about 60-70% of Americans approved of it.

It’s the American way in the best sense

Wisconsin passes expanded Medicaid for moms, would leave Arkansas as only state without it The state — which has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country — did pass significant maternal healthcare legislation last year. Pregnant women are now allowed to temporarily rece…

Wisconsin Democrats, and even most Republicans, have pushed for years to expand Medicaid coverage for new mothers, only to be blocked by powerful Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Vos had argued that he opposed expanding welfare programs, but he relented late Wednesday.

How extremists reconquered Idaho in the age of Trump—and how some locals are fighting back “Who the fuck are these men?”

NEW: One year ago, we caught a peek of MAGA authoritarianism when men roughly dragged a woman named Teresa out of an Idaho town hall.

This is the story behind that viral video and the radicalization of the community where it happened.

And…here’s the latest from Colbert. The CBS lawyers are in crazy mode, and just underestimate him at every turn bsky.app/profile/tvmo...

A very detailed explanation of how FBI bamboozled a magistrate into authorizing a raid on Fulton County’s election offices by omitting critical information that would have totally undermined any probable cause claim. Pretty clear-cut case of calculated deception of the courts.

Yes, this is the guy who draws Foxtrot.

LOSING MY FUCKING MIND

MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

ICE halts "all movement" at Texas detention facility due to measles infections The measles​ cases at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center were detected Friday, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to CBS News.

BREAKING: ICE has halted "all movement" at a Texas detention facility due to measles infections, DHS confirms.

Children. They are literally tear gassing children.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

I managed to avoid it.

I also called Senators Wyden and Merkeley to suggest that perhaps, since ICE has all that money to tear gas a peaceful march, maybe they can do with one less zero at the end of their budget.

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

Thousands of union members staged a nonviolent march today. iCE gassed the crowd of nurses and teaches. The neighborhood is in a cloud. Flash bangs are being fired.

I was in that march and got past the ICE building before the gas flew.

Eviction.

Now.

I hope she gets annihilated.

As someone who volunteers in local Democratic politics I want to once again remind the Bluesky community that the Democratic base is your friend, and LIGHT YEARS ahead of the national party leaders on literally every issue

Shitty newspapers, shitty editors, shitty publishers, shitty values.

Stephen Miller is the only person alive who deserves what they did to Tasha Yar

Today I was Kidnapped By ICE - Dawokefarmer

This is a political witch hunt, and it comes right out of the authoritarian playbook.

So weird how all these scoops with a pro-regime slant keep coming from CBS.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I'm not privy to exactly what happened, but this is a massive loss to Bluesky. We need better moderation here.

Thomas Paine, as relevant as ever

The MPD union, at least, has made it clear which side they are on.

This is the cost of DECADES of (everyone, everywhere) refusing to deal with the rising right-wing and white-nationalist involvement in policing.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.
It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

How is Hegseth so fucking bad at working out? I have a theory: he is unable to accept any critique of his form or technique, so he keeps doing things wrong over and over while congratulating himself for doing “hard things.” Incredibly weak mentality.
