This is correct. The Bush administration tortured prisoners and weaponized the DOJ to institutionalize it as policy, and the only prosecutions were of foot soldiers who did short time and got parole. The US is a country that believes in torture of prisoners and detainees. That is what the US is.

Your 'moment of doom' for Mar. 14, 2025 ~ Back from Vegas, baby!

"Roads are often littered with plastic waste that gets broken down by cars and kicked up into the air ... once they become airborne, they can easily move around in the atmosphere and get grabbed by rain as it falls."
We got rid of acid rain. Now something scarier is falling from the sky.
Here’s why you should never, ever drink the rain.

I hate these fascist motherfuckers with every cell in my body and with nearly equal timbre I hate the cowardice of the only people in a position to oppose them who treat it like they were playing crazy 8s over cocktails and watercress sandwiches

It's clear that Trump's policies seek to shut down what remains of democracy in the US. It seems highly likely that they will also cause economic collapse.

American Exceptionalism was always grounded in parochialism and ignorance. This will ensure it stays strong.
Getting informal reports that as part of the mass layoffs at the Department of Education, the International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) Office has been "abolished."

IFLE administers Title VI and Fulbright-Hays grant and fellowship programs.

A disaster.

Thank you Senator Wyden
I am voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.

As a professor of media studies, I have to be honest and admit that I can no longer do my job. I teach at a public university that has given in to right wing demands for more than a decade. All programs and commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion have been officially shut down. (1/x thread)

It’s Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl. They keep leaving off the “Dr.”

Pay attention to how Idaho & the msm media infantilize her, calling her a “little girl” and ignoring her academic achievements. None of that is on accident.
