These are not things that happen at camps which are not designed to kill the people they incarcerate. ICE centers are concentration camps.

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

Want an easy way to make a difference in this moment of authoritarian breakthrough? Want to hurt one of Trump’s biggest donors and allies? To stick it to a company that helps ICE, enables mass surveillance, and furthers Trump’s brutal agenda?

Thank you Anthropic for putting humanity over profits. Governments that could limit AI are the ones who want to buy it with no restrictions. Climate change kills in decades. Autonomous AI making decisions at machine speed with no human oversight kills in minutes. Do not fear AI, fear human greed.

White House circulating blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections Voting rights experts and at least one state election chief said Trump doesn’t have the authority to claim such powers — and any attempt would be blatantly illegal.

🧵It is always reassuring to read what @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com have to say about the antidemocratic conniving of Trump and his MAGA minions.

Fear will give way to fierce defiance when you read this.

BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ removed this photo from the Epstein Files.

EFTA01230639.

Note that this is undeniably Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick on Epstein Island. Also Lutnick testified under oath that he only went to Epstein Island with his wife and his kids. This is a bunch of men.

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.

The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.

Putin tried to freeze Ukraine. Instead, he sparked an energy Revolution. Russia is bombing fossil-fueled power plants, so the country is building solar and wind.

🇺🇦 Ukraine is revamping its power sector as rapidly as it can, not for climate protection but for energy security. Wind and solar arrays with independent transmission lines, scattered over the landscape makes them harder to hit and easier to repair.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Sam Alito has an oil money problem 30 percent of Alito’s individual stock portfolio is directly tied to fossil fuels.

The Supreme Court has decided to hear a major climate case against fossil fuel companies

Alito has not recused himself, despite owning nearly $200,000 in fossil fuel stocks—including in Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips, which are being sued in cases that would be directly affected by a SCOTUS ruling

The defining face of the first day of the full-scale invasion is Ukrainian marine Vitalii Skakun.

Best quote I heard tonight was Gov Abigail Spanberger on Trump’s immigration policy: “Every minute spent sowing fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children, or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings.”

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.

I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward
