The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.

Our military being told that Trump is “anointed by God” and that this is a Holy War should alarm everyone, especially Americans.

What do you think about this push toward a ‘Holy War’ narrative? Put your comments below.

This question was obviously too complex for his feeble mind, but he'll never pass up a chance to brag.

As @whitehouse.senate.gov explains, the Supreme Court got the Citizens United decision wrong—especially when it came to undisclosed donations.

The nearly $2 billion of dark money spent during the 2024 cycle is exactly why Congress needs to pass the DISCLOSE Act.

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear oil companies’ arguments that they shouldn’t have to stand trial in a climate accountability lawsuit.

For years, the Supreme Court rejected Big Oil’s requests to review similar cases... so what’s changed?

@emdashsanders.bsky.social explains.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

I charged my EV last night (from 20 percent to 100 percent) and it cost me about $17.

Beyond the no gas, the car just rides so beautifully. Got it in July and cannot imagine ever going back to gas car.

I’d been thinking about the through-lines between Gaza; the unwillingness of so many to acknowledge its horrors; and the comparatively contained outrage over the bombing of the school in southern Iran.

But this letter-writer to The Irish Times says it better.

It’s very real. Scroll through these photos if you have the stomach. It is heart breaking. I checked to see if these were AI or fake. They are not.

It's shown w/ satellite photos that the school building was originally part of the Iranian naval base. It was separated from the IRGC compd by a wall sometime in 2013-2016 for use as the girls' school. Of course, if not for Trump's illegal & unjustified war it wouldn't have been mistakenly targeted.

Between the school children killed in Israel, the USAID cuts, healthcare cuts - I think the Trump administration is the most deadly to children in my 66 year lifetime. I am appalled.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

It's like when the fascist Oswald Mosley's grandson, who Palantir hired to run its UK operations, appeared on Laura Kuenssberg wearing a black T-shirt.

None of this is accidental: it's all answering the question, 'what message do I want to send?' 'Fascism to immigrants' is the message Mahmood does.

Scientists and the AAP beg to differ! Public health isn't an opportunity for Bobby's psychotic fan fic dreams.
