Wealthy and "wealthy-ish" have ALWAYS been big shoplifters (also office and even household thieves), because of entitlement (including feeling entitlement to legal safety) and contempt for others and their belongings.
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
OK, here's our story on the wild situation in Manhattan today where the Justice Department settled a monopolization case against Live Nation without telling its own lawyers.
We got one week of testimony that was going really badly for the company. But corruption won out.

Every day the economic experts get up and are like “we think today is the day the racists will use logic”
WHO says at least 13 health facilities have been hit by US-Israel attacks on Iran. At least 1230 people killed in Iran & thousands more injured. Medics are among them.
“Under international humanitarian law, healthcare must be protected and not attacked," says @drtedros.who.int
WHO hub in the Middle East has frozen emergency assistance due to bombings. They've stalled shipments of medical supplies, eg $6m in medicines for Gaza & polio supplies to Afghanistan & Pakistan.
WHO says >100,000 people displaced from Tehran & >60K from Lebanon. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
Jared is correct. Read Theory
"Whatever states are today, they are not what they once were—in part because, as Dasgupta chronicles, the state now faces serious competition for center stage in the organization of human society."

City officials in Corpus Christi, Texas, expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to airports, hike gas prices “and trigger a local economic disaster without precedent.”

Quote by Baldwin: To accept one's past - one's history - is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is Learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.

Journalistic malpractice.
Americans have no idea how much the world is shook, folks. Here in Thailand they have a running tally of how many days' worth of fuel the country has left.
I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?
He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.
There is a reason you hold the line at sports.
And even when it's not a scapegoat and we're talking about serious mental illness diagnoses, material circumstances make it all worse. Poverty is a public health issue.
We're running out of sky.
If Saudi or Azerbaijan airspace shuts, Europe will be cut off from Asia.
My newsletter, out now.
The only way you explain trump is by recognizing how popular it is to ignore the voices of Black people, disabled people, trans people, children, victims of assault, and all those who are scapegoated and sacrificed to keep this cursed system afloat.
The only reason it’ll be hard for historians to explain is because media and politicians are complicit in making fact and reality indistinguishable from the narratives spun to keep folks striving against each other and against manufactured struggles instead of rising together against our true enemy.
Oligarchs who enjoy more wealth and less shame than ever bought our politicians and media so as to never be accountable for their excesses and exploits. Popular movements threatened their status quo so they are accelerating the collapse so they can divvy the loot and make slavery great again.
Not only is it precedented, it's literally the same group of people at the scene of the crime
I know folks are talking about gas prices, but I cannot help thinking about the people in the region, the impact on our climate, & the barbaric events being done in our name here in the U.S.
If reports are correct about targeting desalination plants, then this is cutting off water supply, as well.
i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later
In 2026, war is not politics by other means. As Kalshi and Polymarket aptly demonstrated on the eve of the first bombings, war is simply another virtual arena for the oligarchs of late-stage capitalism—a playground for the most unserious, narcissistic men on earth. 6/7
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

This is, in effect, putting “boots on the ground.” These Navy soldiers will be in active combat
This has been a well-known issue since it's IPO. Yet, our regulations allow the stock market to act like pump and dumps.
March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
In 2024, my "Cop City" reporting for @thexylom.com won me an Atlanta Press Club Award.
Now, @wabe.org confirms what we knew all along: DeKalb County's parkland swap and open contempt of a judge's order to reopen said park has led to no new park but one emboldened Republican now running for Congress

As this was happening you were told shoplifting and home invasions were grave threats you needed to abandon any pretense of sympathy to address.
