There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

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.

NEW piece from me @goodauth.bsky.social on the disastrous consequences of Trump and Rubio dismantling U.S. diplomacy. Managing the Iran War will be much harder; so will picking up the pieces. Diplomacy is a tool of war AND of peace.

(Loosely based on thread below.)

Federal Judges Are Slowly Realizing They Can Treat Trump Like Anyone Else Federal judges have been reluctant to hold the Trump administration in contempt for violating court orders. Now, they are getting impatient.

real 'the best time was literally any prior opportunity but the second best time is NOW' vibes:

I wrote about how, in the past few weeks, two federal judges held the Trump administration in civil contempt, and two more threatened the admin with criminal contempt

This is not trueβ€”driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that β€œevery American gets”

Hey Florida Democrats, lev parnas was convicted of *campaign finance violations*. You cannot support this man no matter what he says he wants to do.

I was thinking about a 70s style energy crisis with how armed Americans are now. I’m sure it will be chill.

He should meet some Black Americanists or some women. We would not have asked: β€œhow bad can it get?”

I love how he found an Americanists who doesn’t know anything about American history to be the foil.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she β€œcleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

It's so good and there are a lot of very funny jokes that get set up over several episodes or just said under someone's breath.

Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

Smith suggests this with Dr Strangelove as his avatar so he is really stupid or operating in bad faith.

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools β€” purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration β€” to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

EXCLUSIVE: I’m the Palestinian Who Has Been in ICE Detention for Almost a Year Don't forget us on International Women's Day, writes Leqaa Kordia.

Leqaa Kordia, in her own words, for @zeteo.com.

Leqaa should be free. Her captors, and whichever outside organization collaborated with them, should be the ones in cages.

I think it also represents GOP sacrificing own voters to Christian nationalists in coalition.
