Always feverishly opinionated. Women’s rights are human rights.

Democrats failed, & continue to fail, to counter the lawless oligarchs’ now pervasive right-wing media. I’ve been disappointed about that for a long time, but carrying on for goodness sake!

I can't fathom why ANY court is allowing the U.S. to deport ANYONE TO third-world prisons, AND paying for the prisoners to be held w/out due process or, apparently, any humane-treatment oversight.

Important conversation. But the conclusion understates the case. It is not that handing Russia the huge territory that contains Ukraine’s best defenses would “not necessarily” bring peace. It is that so doing would guarantee a bloodier and longer war.

Mark Kelly says Pete Hegseth's reported double tap strike on a boat "seems to" be a war crime, and adds, "if what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We are not Iraq"

A must read account of Trump’s historic betrayal of Ukraine, Europe and America from the WSJ….
"By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies"

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.

Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

Underrated thing that's been flying under the radar: ICE's hiring spree, by necessity since there are so few others willing and able, has been hiring away local cops, which infuriates the departments by causing manpower problems and is, ironically, removing the worst of the worst from their ranks.
The more local police see ICE assholes as criminals, the better it will be for us.
ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

MAGA voters never wondered why our DOJ is bringing 'gifts' to a 20-year convicted pedophile? She couldn't "exonerate" Trump without being moved to a Club Med prison, complete with puppy and food delivery service?

How the fuck could anyone doubt Trump did it?

New reporting that the Trump White House intervened through Trump lackey, Paul Ingrassia, on behalf of accused international sex traffickers, the Tate Brothers.

My latest with the details including a deep dive into Ingrassia’s own scandal-ridden history.

Once again, any U.S. attack on Venezuela would be patently illegal.
Breaking news: High-level discussions over whether to attack Venezuela — and how — have been underway for days.

It remains unclear if President Trump has decided to pursue such an escalation.
