This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
Sgt. Brian McGinnis is out of jail after he was arrested for expressing his opposition to the US war on Iran in Congress. Capitol Police officers and Senator Sheehy broke his arm as they removed and arrested him.
True leadership. My, how I miss it! Thank you, President Obama. #RIP Reverend Jackson.

DON’T LOOK AWAY
Political incentives continue to override Constitutional duty. Congress is talking without acting. POTUS is acting without authorization. And our troops are being killed as a result. How can that be OK by any means? iT'S NOT! Wake up, Congress. No money = no war, period.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."
Nope!!!

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.
South Korea jails its former president for life for fomenting an insurrection.
The UK arrests former Prince Andrew for espionage.
And... Trump robs 10 billion from the US Treasury in broad daylight.
The US is a shithole country.
Okay, Grandma, that's enough Winter Olympics for you! 😆
The DoD changed TA eligibility rules in a way that predictably removed long‑approved, academically stable institutions. When a rule change produces a targeted outcome, the agency must provide a transparent, evidence‑based explanation. Can't wait to see that happen!

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
A federal court just upheld California’s law REQUIRING federal agents to identify themselves.
California will keep standing up for civil rights and our democracy.
Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.
We are now facing the largest measles outbreak since the disease was eliminated from the United States over a quarter-century ago.
The science is clear: vaccines are the best way to protect against measles. The NIH Director admits it. Why won’t RFK, Jr.?
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..."

Public pressure worked. ICE has backed down on plans to patrol the Super Bowl. Thanks to everyone who raised their voice and refused to stay silent. ✊
From @theathletic.com: The Ottawa Senators are the latest NHL team to hop on the growing success story that is “Heated Rivalry", with special edition jerseys that benefit the queer community. If you're hoping to buy one online, they’re out of stock — again.
1.5 million and counting. Thank you.
Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.
