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.

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 …

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.

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.
oh cool, now we have Indian-American zoomer idiots that think that they can draw the line to include them to exclude them from MAGA's anti-Indian sentiment

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.

And we trust polls why?
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
