The US just bombed four more boats due to suspected “narco terrorists” on board.

This time they were in the Pacific

14 people have been killed

No trial . No evidence. Just murdered.

Mexico’s Navy is currently searching for one lone survivor.

To quote my friend @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, climate change won't make humanity extinct but we can do better than "not extinct". Raise your standards people!

Millions of Americans are working without pay in Federal and Air Traffic Controller jobs while White House continues construction of 200 Million$ Ballroom during the Government Shutdown. Unbelievable people voted for this illiterate clown 👇

👍🏽 Share if you want Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona sworn in.

Mike Johnson says he'll swear her in whenever she wants. She's wanted to be sworn in since she won her election in a landslide!

Arrest her?
Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

As long as Donald Trump continues to invade our blue States and blue cities with troops and federal agents, and continues to weaponize the DOJ going after his political opponents — every blue State needs to withhold 100% of federal taxes. The red states would crumble and so would Trump.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

The question remains: will the administration care or change course at all? The path here has been paved with broken court orders

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

I'm in (post-moveout/pre-movein between housemates) cleaning hell tonight, keeping myself preoccupied with basement-cleaning-inspired bandnames.

This is not the first musician detained by ICE, and it won't be the last. The klezmer scene has seen a number of issues impacting tours this summer, w overseas artists who couldn't get visas. We *need* to be unionizing really hard rn to fight the impacts on our sector, too.

“These departures are not just bureaucratic reshuffling; they are a hemorrhage of institutional memory and expertise. Each of these scientists carried decades of hard-earned knowledge that cannot simply be replaced by a new appointee or a quick hire.”
