Meanwhile in Russia: Zakhar Prilepin explained that regardless of any ceasefire, Russia will eventually resume its efforts to take all of Ukraine. He scoffed at Trump's peacekeeping proposals and emphasized that Russia will never be friends with America.

I was just on a press call with TX Rep. Nicole Collier, @corybooker.com, and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social.
Rep. Collier joined us from the TX Capitol. She was ordered to leave the call, and threatened with a felony charge if she didn’t comply.
This is an outrageous violation of her freedom of speech.

Colbert once flamed us on national TV.
We printed it, taped it to the glovebox, and wear it as a badge of honor.

Gerrymandering is when someone uses a map like I use trauma: to redraw boundaries that make no sense and hurt everyone involved

Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air.
Let’s be clear: these maps are not about representation, it’s a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes.

ICE doesn't even have a detention center in Hawaii. The men have been put in a federal prison there. Very far from home, and presumably their lawyers. Via @missionlocal.org
ICE arrested these immigrants in San Francisco and sent them 2,400 miles away—to Hawaii
One may be mentally impaired, said a judge who granted him a continuance prior to his arrest.

Cults have gone digital.
They don’t need compounds, robes, or gurus anymore.
They need algorithms, forums, and a cause.
Curious about how cultic tactics are now fueling radicalization online?

Is the US military poised to experience a new surge in conscientious objectors?
