Authoritarians don't debate reality. They rename it. Trump just defined a “ceasefire” as “shooting in a more moderate manner.”

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

Hillary’s 2016 National Security Address reads like a prophecy. She called his ideas “dangerously incoherent… a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.” In 2026...

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

Blanche is playing word games while DeLauro is speaking in plain English. DOJ gave Trump and his family a pass on IRS tax enforcement, which Blanche then tried to rebrand it as “customary.”
The pardon power was meant as a last resort when the justice system gets it wrong. Trump is using it as a loyalty program.
The greatest domestic extremist threat comes from the far-right fringe of the MAGA movement, where religious nationalism, racism, and anti-constitutional politics increasingly converge.

Patel’s performance was not just combative. It was evasive on a core accountability question. If Patel cannot plainly acknowledge that false statements to Congress are criminal, Van Hollen has exposed a much bigger problem than one ugly hearing exchange.
WSJ doesn’t bury the lede. “This payment deal is rotten.” It is. And the photo is perfect: Trump’s giant banner hanging over DOJ, a visual reminder of what Van Hollen says the department has become--not the people’s lawyer, but one man’s. zurl.co/T0PIs
The House passed an Iran War Powers Resolution. This does not immediately end the war. It still has to go through the Senate and Trump would likely veto it. But it is a major bipartisan rebuke of an unauthorized war and a reassertion of Congress’s constitutional role.
The question is not “Can institutions handle Trump?” We already saw the answer: only barely, and only because some people inside the room resisted him. Dr. Gartner raises the point that those people are gone.
The MN GOP didn’t hold a moment of silence for George Floyd. They did for Derek Chauvin. A movement on the right has been pushing Trump to pardon Chauvin for his fed conviction. Hopefully he won’t, but his record of pardoning violent offenders when it serves his interests makes it a real danger.
The U.S. “war on narco-terrorism” has normalized extrajudicial violence and weakened both international law abroad and constitutional restraints at home. zurl.co/iF4FX
Trump continues his Comey retaliatory campaign, and like the first, this indictment is dead in the water. @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

The recent flotilla bringing aid to Gaza that Israel intercepted had the sister of Ireland’s prime minister on board. He is very angry about how she was treated.
Chaco Canyon is a UNESCO Site, a national park, & sacred land for #NewMexico ’s indigenous communities. Somewhat inevitably, Trump’s Bureau of Land Management wants to open 300k+ acres of land around Chaco to oil & gas drilling. They’ve given the public just 7 days to comment — that was 3 days ago.
The Calgary Expo parade-turned-party was a blast! Many thanks to everyone who got their amazing costumes together and braved the cold at BMO Centre.

Passengers aborted their first Waymo ride as the self-trapping robot couldn't find its way out of the neighborhood. Prob in AZ. Maybe a mapping/routing error or another loopy Waymo robot. Will Waymo send a roboherd to remap this maze or remove it from their drivable map? OP: tiktok.bojanglesbaby
Mullin's threat to end processing of international flights into sanctuary cities only punishes travelers. Gutting international service at major hubs will strand business travelers, military families, and many more travelers from both red AND blue states.
Digital Dark Ages or Renaissance? AI can either set us free or hold us back. 💡 Will we use it for progress, education, and innovation? ❌ Or will fear paralyze us? Europe must choose: Knowledge or regression? #AI #Art #NFT #AIForGood #Europe #Innovation #impactArt

New research from #TaxJusticeScotland shows that five times as many Scots support urgent Council Tax reform as oppose it. If we want to fund local government properly, we must start by scrapping the regressive council tax @rozfoyer.bsky.social / BBC Radio Scotland

Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admitted to Congress today that he visited Epstein Island in 2012, four years after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
“Enough of a system that puts endless profit before people.” Powerful words from War on Want’s Tyrone Scott at yesterday’s Together Alliance march against the far right. Solidarity over division. People over profit. Together, another future is possible.

What’s deep water solo? Free solo is a type of climbing with no safety ropes. Deep water solo, also called Psycho Bloc, is free soloing over water. That way, falling hurts a little less! In Cairn’s free upcoming summer DLC, On The Trail, you can try it for yourself!
More bad news from Trump’s economy. At 3.8%, inflation is at its highest level in ~3 years. Republicans need to start working with Dems to put an end to Trump’s inflation-fueling war in Iran & start lowering costs for working families.
