Impeach for good—close the camps—no war

*Alysa Liu voice* that's what I'm fucking talking about

1/ I've watched administrations handle various wars and military operations, and I can say without question I've never seen an administration show such casual disregard for the danger U.S. troops are facing or the death of U.S. troops. All things Trump are disturbing, but this particularly so.

An excerpt from Jesse Jackson’s powerful speech to the Democratic National Convention on July 19, 1988.

May he rest in peace.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

8 Badass Librarians We Need to Celebrate This International Women’s Day In the late Victorian era, Melvil Dewey, inventor of the Dewey Decimal system (and a womanizer) argued that women make excellent librarians because we have “a clear head, strong hand… and great hea…

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Mayor Mamdani being interviewed by Revolt News - NYC MAYOR MAMDANI APOLOGIZES FOR EXCLUDING BLACK AMERICANS IN 'CITY BUILT BY IMMIGRANTS' COMMENT

Mamdani has a different and fresh approach to conflict, including doing something most pols won’t do: apologizing and hearing others, instead of acting aggrieved and defensive, which allows healing. I, too, noticed this line and appreciated the convo and apology www.instagram.com/reel/DVY1o0Z...

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

I’m not going to post it but we’ve all seen it. There’s only one place the dirtbag in chief belongs and the whole world will dance until the earth is flattened the day he’s placed there.

i guess i should put gas in my car today before it his $10 a gallon or whatever

Shut it down

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

DHS' official version of events had already been previously called into question by somebody at the scene. Joshua Orta, Martinez's best friend and a passenger in the vehicle during the shooting, said in a draft declaration that his friend "did not hit anyone" and that he was trying to comply with commands from officers. Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign that declaration.

"Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign that declaration."

His last words to the ICE agents: "I'm sorry, sir."

Clearly someone who posed a threat and was trying to run them over.

"After he's shot three times, Martinez is seen being pulled from his vehicle, thrown to the ground by an ICE agent, face down, and then handcuffed. Personnel on the scene are not seen in the video providing medical care until after he is handcuffed."

The American organisation Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) has called on Iran to file a declaration granting the International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction over crimes committed on its territory since the war began on 28th February 2026.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

The beauty of the heart
is the lasting beauty:
its lips give to drink
of the water of life.
Truly it is the water,
that which pours,
and the one who drinks.
All three become one when
your talisman is shattered.
That oneness you can't know
by reasoning.

Poem by Rumi, 13th century Persian poet

“However much we describe and explain Love,
when we fall in love we are ashamed of our words.
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear,
but Love unexplained is better.”

Excerpt from The Meaning of Love by Rumi

To fly towards a secret sky

Out Beyond Ideas
by Rumi

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn't make any sense.

You should read Rumi.

“My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.
I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.”

Reading Rumi— I am tired but too sad to sleep.

Why do we allow tyrants who can only control us through instigation of hate, fear and violence when there are so many much easier and more beautiful alternatives?
