"Let us be clear: fewer rights do not solve homelessness – the only real solutions are housing and supportive services. Notably, today's gimmick does nothing to expand the very rental assistance and supportive services that have already reduced veteran homelessness."

Military investigators are reportedly saying the US hit the school and that "outdated data" might be to blame. Even if that's true, "error" feels like an overly generous term for people who ordered missile strikes without even knowing what they were hitting.

on X, @theamargi.bsky.social and many other accounts have reported the death of the Syrian Kurdish Co-Chair of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), Saleh Muslim. This is a very sad day. I hope he can be buried in Kobane with his son, who died fighting ISIS.

These military "assets" are paid for by public dollars of vulnerable Americans whose community infrastructure is increasingly defunded & through the hoarding of stolen land & wealth via the exploitation of poor & negatively racialized people the world over.

By serving Israel's agenda, Trump betrayed Gulf allies From Doha to Riyadh, the lesson is becoming difficult to ignore: the arrangement meant to guarantee their security is now exposing them to danger

‘The longer this war continues, the clearer the strategic paradox becomes. In attempting to serve Israel’s agenda, the US is weakening its own position in the very region that has long sustained its global influence.’

GOP NY gov pick runs from link to J6ers and Trump ‘secretary of retribution’ The Republican candidate for governor of New York was scheduled to speak at an event headlined by far-right extremists and rioters convicted over the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according...

New from me and Alexandria Jacobson:

Bruce Blakeman, GOP candidate for NY gov, is distancing himself from an event linked to Mike Flynn that advertised him as a speaker.

The event organizer spread an antisemitic conspiracy theory linking Jews to child trafficking.

Old Bristol Patriots group is folding and making way for a new faction from the same "community" that holds identical beliefs, essentially starting over since the previous name has become badly tainted by neo-Nazis and Nazis. Still carries the same old ideology, this won't change.

Australia's man did the flowerbeds. New Zealand had sent a chappie to labor in the gardens too. Their American accents were vaguely southern, and they tended to avoid officials from below the Mason-Dixon line.
Aussie Jack was a lady-killer, though, and was sleeping his way through every Republican wife who still had a beating heart under her twinset and pearls, and skimming quite a bit of information on the side. He called himself a
"martyr to his duty." He and New Zealand Craig were drowning their sorrows by working steadily through all of Florida's craft beers, one microbrewery at a time. Their relationship was significantly more harmonious than that of the clandestine representatives of Argentina and the Mossad, who had inadvertently dated for several weeks before mutually discovering one another's identities, and now existed (as bartender and assistant golf green superintendent respectively) in mutually icy disdain, lending further stress to cocktail hour.
She'd heard Brazil's guy in an unwisely loud Portuguese phone call describing the fiasco as
"Eichmann, on the rocks."

like, they are lying liars who lie and fucked up their recount an incalculable number of times but we’re also gonna tout a part of their results because… why exactly? The Cyber Ninjas report is not the reason that Biden won Maricopa in 2020 and EVERY part of the “audit” is irrelevant to truth.

I Went to Minneapolis. Here’s What the Rest of America Needs to Know. Dispatch from the Alex Pretti tribute concert with the Dropkick Murphys — and why the people of Minneapolis say the rest of the country needs to prepare now.

I spent the weekend in Minneapolis at the memorial site where VA nurse Alex Pretti was killed.

Across the street, thousands gathered in the rain for a tribute concert headlined by the Dropkick Murphys.

So far we’ve raised $46K+ for the community.👇

"I am an anti-organization anarchist because I oppose all forms of authority and organizational constraints. I am nihilist because I live my anarchy today and not in waiting for a revolution, which - if it ever came about – would only produce more authority, technology, civilization. I live my anarchy with ease, joy, pleasure, without any spirit of martyrdom, by opposing this civilized existent with all my strength, an existent I cannot bear. I am antisocial because I am convinced that society can only exist in the differentiation between the dominant and the dominated. I do not strive for any future blissful socialist alchemy, I do not trust any social class; my revolt without revolution is individual, existential, overpowering, absolute, armed."

In my writing & speaking about Pentecostal-charismatic leaders around Trump, I'm often asked if Trump buys into any of these modern prophecies about him or is even aware of what they say.

I generally say: Yes, he's very aware & does seem to buy in at some level.

Here's my new Exhibit A:

The Schengen Area was one of the world's largest areas without internal border controls.
While internal border controls were abolished, the intensity of external border protection increased drastically.

This is actually not all that different from how focus groups and surveys usually works. Like, I hate AI as much as the next person, but focus groups and surveys has always been glorified scams that manufacture statistics that reinforce your bullshit. A form of social engineering really.
