Congress can't continue to turn a blind eye on Trump and Hegseth's war crimes.
The Trump Administration's actions HAVE to be investigated. There needs to be accountability.
Books are always on my mind but this terrifying one's been at the top. If you haven't read it, remedy that asap (and read everything @maddow.bsky.social writes - she's just as delightful and smart on the page)
Congress has let them murder civilians eight ways to Sunday since they took office a year ago with not a single meaningful guardrail
we couldn’t fucking pass a War Powers Act
they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends
I’m front page McSweeny’s what the FUUUUUUUCK?!?!?!?! millenial teenage me would not believe it. I would not. I was just really, really angry last night and wrote it—is there a muse for unbridled rage? My fiancées dad at BYU mocked his son for loving a pacifist. Well WHO’S LAUGHING NOW Kevin Monson
American reporters need to relentlessly ask Trump what he’s going to do about Putin helping Iran kill American service members.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
“My biggest thing is to let my parents, both of them, see me graduate,” he said. “That’s almost every kid’s hope, right? All my friends have their parents ready to see them graduate, but unfortunately, it’s just gonna be my mom this year.” #AbuseofPowerWatch
This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death.
We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.
The humanities, literature and reading supposedly aren’t important….
but the synthetic word salad maker ingested fiction and nonfiction alike, indifferently, to generate its word predictions shaping life and death decisions in war, medicine, science, at home, etc. etc.
I can’t get over this.
He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.
I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.
“To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”
Grave in the shape of a man staring up at a dismembered head he is holding in his hands.
My dead poems published in journals that no longer exist talking to my dead stories published in journals that no longer exist.
The U.S. government made a promise to #DACA recipients: follow the rules, pass background checks, renew your status, and you can live and work without fear.
"But under Donald Trump’s administration, that promise has been fundamentally broken."

We are in a war of Donald's choosing. Scores of Iranian children are dead; six American service members are dead. The depraved man responsible for those deaths went on a tangent about his gold curtains and his $400 million ballroom because those are his priorities.
Image of a press release from NH House Democratic Leader Alexis Simpson. There is a NH House Democrats logo at the top with a blue outline of New Hampshire and a sketch of the NH State Capitol dome over it. Press release is titled: "House Democratic Leader Simpson Condemns Violent Threats." Quote reads: "This kind of rhetoric is dangerous and unacceptable. Calling for murder because of political disagreement crosses a clear line. The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire should be ashamed to promote language that encourages violence against elected officials and others in public life. Political debates belong in a democracy. Threats of violence do not. House Democrats condemn these statements and reject any attempt to normalize violent language in our politics.”

For 60+ years, the biggest unifying force in New Hampshire politics has been protecting a status quo for taxation that benefits corporations and high-income individuals at the expense of people daring enough to own a home in this state. But death threats? #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2026/03/03/p...
Please share this man's story posted below! These folks deserve to have a voice when they died so senselessly and inhumanely here!
What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

Don't worry, if Iran collapses into chaos of warring factions, Trump will welcome several million refugees to America.

Brandon Straka: I’m at the Pentagon this morning for a briefing with @SecWar @PeteHegseth on the Iran strikes. Session starts in 10 minutes.
Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.
“So called international organizations…no stupid rules of engagement.” We are a rogue murder state now, and positively proud of it.
