"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Looking at the 2024 crime figures, it's absolutely insane how Trump, tech billionaires, and centrist pundits fooled everyone into thinking Biden had turned the U.S. into some Hobbesian hellscape.
50-year lows for violent crime, armed robbery, property crime. Second-lowest homicide rate.
So who’s gonna primary Fetterman?
NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart.bsky.social and I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/save...
NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.
Best part of the Super Bowl is gonna be the right coming unglued over bad bunny
Trump knows his base is waning over Epstein. The Obama pics are to get them to come to his defense again.
I’ve had students take authoritarian positions out of sheer political naïveté before, but nothing like this.
Absolutely repulsive
A little bit of Billy Bob Thornton?
Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.
And he was still threatening to kill someone.
Nine DAs are coalescing to work on prosecuting federal agents for 'overreach':
—L. Krasner in Philly
—J. Creuzot in Dallas
—M. Moriarty in Minneapolis
—L. Conover in Tucson
—S. Descano in Fairfax (VA)
—R. Fatehi in Norfolk (VA)
—S. Morales in Portsmouth (VA)
—P. Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington (VA)
The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.
He's got to go.
He wants nothing to do with this snow bullshit. Won’t move an inch 😂
The billionaires buying elections and paying off politicians, telling you the real threat is a .0001% voter fraud rate and immigrants who aren’t legally allowed to vote, are the existential threat to our country.
They want you to blame immigrants so you don’t blame them.
Trump's goons are now demanding lists of Jews. Spoiler alert: it's about antisemitism, but not in the way you might think. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...
It would be so cool if the Democrats overall took this approach instead of pretending like she's some kind of crazy outlier.
The *normie* position on this is defunding ICE.
Idk about you guys but wine mom gangs sound pretty awesome to me
SCOOP: 404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work.
One can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer.
Reality goes down hard
This week I start prepping 2 (of my 4) spring classes: Climate Justice and Geography of Natural Resources
Anybody know any current events that might be related? lol
Srsly, readings/vids/podcast related to Venezuelan would be appreciated
What it was always about
fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US
Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.
what a shocking turn of events
who could’ve seen this coming
Nirvana called.
They suggested you smell like teen spirit.
Because republicans believe in states’ rights
