Just discovered that Portishead performed "Roads" for a Palestine benefit this year. Those lyrics, in this context, and Beth Gibbons' now more-fragile voice... insanely haunting.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says it right in the Constitution.

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

If you spent even one second of the last decade indulging the free speech claims made by the American right in earnest, I genuinely think you're lacking in intelligence. I do not think you have what it takes to deliver sound commentary on American politics.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

I just wanted to quickly note that this piece was an all-women effort, start to finish. From the reporters to the witnesses and even the lawyer who reviewed it, seven women working in different capacities were able to bring this story of gross malfeasance to life. Proud The Handbasket can do this.
An officer briefly became the face of Trump’s brutality mandate in DC after popping up in various videos like federal Forrest Gump.
@jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated and found he’s a 26-year-old former Eagle Scout named Patrick O’Hanlon who says he was just doing his job.

There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds.

Secretary Noem (notwithstanding the ridiculousness of that combination of words), go fuck yourself. Noem said that Senator should have identified himself rather than my stormtroopers should have recognized a f-Ing sitting Senator that represents the state you’ve f’ing invaded.
over at the New York Times, Kristi Noem's goon squad forcing a United States Senator to the floor and handcuffing him after he identified himself is a "sign of the rising political tensions"
