America got “the president is killing terrorists, don’t question it” in the 2000s too. But unlike now:
-The US had been attacked
-Al Qaeda was a terrorist group and planned more attacks
-They were in areas the US military did not freely operate, where arrest was risky
-Congress authorized the action

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

No rule of law in the US. The King decides who deserves punishment.
Rolling Stone: “Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution.”

Another dark turn for the Russian economy as Russians figure out that the average price of gasoline is now officially 8% higher than in the US.
With median US salary being 9.5X higher than median Russian salary, this must be quite an embarrassment for the Russian dictator.

Putin demands Ukraine withdraw or he'll "liberate" by force occupation framed as negotiation. This is the "peace" Trump Jr. sells: capitulate or Russia finishes the job. Offering victims surrender or annihilation isn't diplomacy; it's extortion with an American blessing.

Disgusting.
Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. The president is now worth a record $7.3 billion, up from $4.3 billion in 2024, when he was still running for office. The $3 billion gain vaulted him 118 spots on The Forbes 400, where he lands at No. 201 this year. ~ Forbes, September 2025

public libraries can play a role in popular resistance to the reduction of culture to bitstreams, but it’s important to remember that public libraries have a mandate to develop their collections, and that means regular weeding. this is why resource sharing (i.e. ILL) is essential. 📚

Most public libraries are culling their physical media because it doesn’t circulate. If you want libraries to hold something, you need to check it out. Public libraries can’t just be warehouses for physical media you might want someday. Use it or lose it.

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

It’s an uncomfortable situation when I have faith my President is not starting this war bc it’s blatantly unconstitutional, rather than because it’s not in Putin’s interest.

"Russia urges the United States to refrain from sliding toward a conflict with Venezuela. Moscow stands with Caracas shoulder to shoulder."

According to him, recent statements about secret negotiations between the US and Russia, in particular about the transfer of Ukrainian territories, are dangerously reminiscent of the Munich Agreement of 1938.

Her husband’s heart couldn’t have stopped for more than 5 or 6 minutes, the doctor was saying.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

The U.S. is an ally of Russia. It is the Belarus of North America.
The United States presented a “peace plan” that was actually a Russian war wish-list. It was written in the Kremlin.
Now the U.S. has a “National Security Strategy” that perfectly aligns with Russian war aims.
