Israel just struck Beirut’s southern suburbs for the first time in months and first time since last year’s war without a warning.
Reports saying it was an airstrike in Haret Hreik. Though such attacks usually are struck by drone

Trump: Marco, do you want your war with Venezuela or not?

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

It's not a coincidence that Kat Abughazaleh is Palestinian. Trump is having a Palestinian American running for Congress indicted for standing against ICE.

Resuming nuclear testing is a massive giveaway to China and Russia because we basically have the supercomputers to simulate them (look into why the DOE owns so many….) no and they don’t, so physical nuclear tests would give them a lot of data that they currently don’t have access to.

I feel like this has to be the news that finally breaks the Trump fever. It took 10 years for the debt to rise $4 trillion. It rose $ 1 trillion in just 1 month of Trump's presidency

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.
This is how the police dealt with them.
Literally beat the hell out of them.

Devastating testimony. A medic asked 6-year-old Hind Rajab why she had gone quiet. She replied, “Because every time I talk, blood comes out of my mouth and makes my clothes dirty. And my mom doesn’t want my clothes to be dirty.” Shortly after, she was killed by 355 bullets and shelling.

So interesting because these are the sorts of things that I keep hearing "normal" "working class" voters don't want.
“Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.”
“I’m really fed up with Democratic leadership.”
“I don’t want to see @schumer.senate.gov sending another strongly-worded letter.“
“I want alternate hearings; profiling a person who’s dying because their Medicaid has been stripped away.”
Yes! All of this.
