The U.S. government is preparing to begin automatically registering young men for the military draft pool. A database like this, warns anti-war activist Edward Hasbrouck, "is particularly likely to be weaponized for other purposes against vulnerable trans and immigrant youth."

Aliya Rahman, a disabled Minneapolis resident who was violently arrested and detained by ICE officers in January, explains why she's filing a federal tort claim against the Department of Homeland Security.

Artificial intelligence is "incredibly unpopular technology" that is essentially being forced on people, says writer @astra.bsky.social. New data centers are now facing stiff resistance, providing "local chokepoints where people can come together and push back on the billionaire Big Tech agenda."

"Dictatorship in action." Journalist @davidcayjohnston.bsky.social reacts to the shocking deal Donald Trump's lawyers negotiated with his own administration that establishes a $1.8 billion "slush fund" to reward the president's allies.

Trump is “increasingly desperate” because he is not in a “dominant position” and “cannot dictate terms,” while “the Iranians are not going to accept a ceasefire that puts them in the same position as Lebanon and Gaza,” says @tparsi.bsky.social of the Quincy Institute.

Despite the U.S.' claims that it has fully blocked the Iranian oil trade since Monday, @lalehkhalili.bsky.social says over a dozen ships have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz — a drop in the bucket compared to before the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, when the strait handled over 100 crossings daily.

This graduation season, schools across the U.S. have continued their attempts to silence pro-Palestine speech. Rutgers professor Noura Erakat says repression of Palestine protest only spreads outwards. "We are the Trojan horse to bring in these policies that will affect everyone."

"I didn’t assault anybody," says Bajun Mavalwalla, a veteran who was recently convicted of "conspiracy to impede or injure" federal agents after attending an anti-ICE protest in Spokane, Washington. The unprecedented conviction could lead to six years of prison time.

Israel continues to attack Lebanon despite Trump claiming Monday that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to stop fighting. “What happened yesterday was in no means a ceasefire,” says Beirut-based journalist @chehayebk.bsky.social.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has wanted a war against Iran "for decades" and is likely to sabotage current peace talks, says journalist Negar Mortazavi. "He wants the war to continue to expand."
