While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Also, Chicago is within the 100-mile zone, because all of Lake Michigan is considered an international waterway.

If this doesn't make sense, perhaps let that realization extend to all national borders. They are arbitrary lines drawn with blood and fire.

The fact that US law currently permits this is all we need to know about how all nationalisms bend towards fascism.

Focus on "foreigners" allows nation-states to outsource responsibility for their many failures. "Foreign states," "foreign gulags," "foreign people," etc.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

Fascism doesn't have a colour line. Fascism is a political belief that has historically - and today - been adopted by people who want to ruthlessly rule by dividing us from one another on one or another artificial basis around the world. White, Black, Brown, et cetera.

“We don’t just stop illegal immigration,” Haley tells me by Zoom on Tuesday. “I think we need to stop legal immigration.” With green eyes, impossibly white teeth, and six-pack abs, he cuts a striking figure. He is well-versed in meme warfare and knows just how to “ratio” accounts much bigger than his own — that is, garner more “likes” for his replies than the original poster. Like that of the British-born progressive pundit Mehdi Hasan, with whom he’s repeatedly tussled.

When I mention his demand that Hasan be “denaturalized,” he interrupts: “and deported.” Tongue in cheek, surely? “No, I quite literally mean that. I’m often sarcastic, but not in this case. I mean, he hates America. If you hate America, you shouldn’t be in America. … Everyone wants to make it so complicated. That’s the thing with the past generation. They always talk about the rules, regulations, process. No, it’s simple. If you don’t like America, get out.”

At a time when Trump wants to double premiums and throw 15 million off the health care they have, please remember that the U.S. is the only major country on Earth not the guarantee health care to all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

We flight trackers saw a slowdown in ICE flights earlier this week that we thought might be because of the government shutdown.

No such luck.

ICE Air seemed to be slowing down at the beginning of the week, with fewer planes doing fewer flights each day, leading activist flight trackers and me to wonder if the government shutdown was finally...

I keep thinking about the national political reporter I ran into at the no Kings rally in Montclair, New Jersey. She said you know the polls are tightening and he’s really catching fire. it was a media narrative, completely unconnected to what was really happening.

Yup. Without a popular, independent media that cannot be bought and sold by MAGA supporters, we are screwed.

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

Trump is purposefully letting millions of people in the US starve.

Fuckers! These vans + an armored personnel carrier were shipped to Kauai a few days ago. Local "intel" assured us it wasn't ICE, but, man, were they wrong!

Hawaii J20+ has a Crush ICE/No Secret Police protest from 5-6 PM each Weds (@ Waikiki Tesla) and each Thurs at Atkinson and Ala Moana. Join us!

ICE raids on Kauai lead to dozens of arrests

Kauaʻi County Council member Fern Holland said she heard at least two explosions as armed immigration agents entered the Kapaʻa home.
