Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

So we need to get the word out anyway

Am I the only heretic who’d rather stay in Championship than watch a season sucked dry by VAR?

Trump White House Reportedly Blocking Intelligence Report Warning of Homeland Security Threats in Midst of Iran War The White House is allegedly blocking U.S. intelligence agencies from warning Americans about rising terrorist threats at home, according to The Daily Mail.

www.mediaite.com/media/news/t... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy Trump Regime blocking terror warnings from the public is part of their plan. If a 9/11 style terrorist attack takes place on US soil,Trump thinks it will benefit Republicans in the mid terms. Loss of America lives means nothing to Trump.

Ruben went on vacation to South Padre Island, his 1st time going away from home with his good friend Joshua Orta. Joshua was the only witness to the shooting & he mysteriously was killed in a car crash.

According to a draft affidavit, Orta said that Martinez did not hit an officer with his vehicle.

US lifts some restrictions on Russian oil, considers more actions to β€˜unsanction’ it as prices spike The U.S. is lifting some restrictions on Russian oil and considering more actions to β€œunsanction” it as the conflict in Iran raises prices globally, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday.

Russia is sharing intel on US troops with Iran as a result Trump removes sanctions on Russian oil.
How much Trump sharing with Putin?
It’s time for Congress to do its job and use their power to stop a wannabe dictator from ruining the US.

It’s time for a "top vs. bottom" politics. James Talarico is the former teacher and seminarian fighting to fix our broken system. From capping insulin costs to protecting public schools, he’s building a "politics of love" to unite all Texans. Unite in support of @jamestalarico.bsky.social!

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

Having similarly dealt with far-right characters I’ve reported on engage in stalking / harassing behaviour to the point where lawyers needed to be engaged, I can say Canada’s laws are completely insufficient to deal with these problems and I have zero trust in the legal system to protect journalists

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Haitian Asylum Seeker Dies of Toothache in What ICE Calls "The Best Healthcare of Their Lives" Detention deaths are a foreseeable outcome of specific policy choices made by people in position of power. This post steps back to think through the broader trends and steps toward accountability.

Person dies in ICE detention: "Damas reported toothache to staff on Feb.12, family says he complained 2 weeks before collapsing & developing sepsis from infection..another detainee reported hearing staff laughing & saying Damas was faking, cried for help."

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Ryan Reynolds, Rob Mac to do live commentary on Wrexham match Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac will mark five years at the helm by doing live commentary on their match against Swansea this month.

This sounds like something that should not be missed! Will they be joining @finalwhistle.bsky.social and @miarobbo.bsky.social, or broadcasting elsewhere?

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Trump’s Case for War With Iran Faces Growing Scrutiny U.S. intelligence showed threats from Iran loomed, as they had for years. But they were not imminent.

US officials and lawmakers with access to classified information, along with experts who have spent their careers poring over public data and government reports, say the administration’s assertions about why they needed to go to war with Iran are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong.

Why the Trump-Backed Save America Act Threatens Election Security Nationwide - Bucks County Beacon Buried in the legislation is a mandate requiring every state to funnel voter data into a centralized voter-purge system plagued by security and accuracy concerns and controlled by the Trump administra...

The Trump admin (via both lawsuits & legislation) aims to purge voter rolls nationwide using its β€œSAVE” voter purge system, which relies on data from an SSA system that DOGE allegedly copied to an insecure cloud server, per a whistleblower. Does β€œSAVE” link to this allegedly insecure copy?? Anyone??
