Trump and Hegseth know exactly what happened with the bombing of the girls school. This “investigation” is a smoke screen because they know the attention span of our media cycles, so they will drag it out until they stop getting asked about it. Which is usually 48 hours or so.
Republicans spend an incredible amount of time and energy finding new ways to obstruct justice and accountability. www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...
Seems less than ideal.
BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon
At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me
Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.
Russia helps Iran track American forces.
And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.
Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.
I like this Ben Stiller fellow. When he made a movie in Wilmington, Ohio, he was nice to people. And look — he stands up for himself rather than allowing himself to be ritually humiliated.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
The part at the end ("of really terra") is particularly disorienting -- I can't tell whether or not he knows he is not making sense.
you want me to be pro-war? the thing that murders innocent people, destabilizes society and enriches the worst people in the whole world?
Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
Medical experiments on prisoners?
Where have we seen this before?
You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.
And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
It’s defensive. Like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. bsky.app/profile/atru...
At least the State Department had a great plan in place to evacuate all the Americans from the Middle East who are trying to leave.

Kansas has launched a major attack on trans residents.

I propose a protest called "Opposite Day" where every CIS man & woman protesting should dress up like the other, use the "wrong" bathroom, & tie up the system with thousands of false reports. 🤬
Driver’s licenses are commonly used for general ID in Norway too, but only contains photo, date of birth, DL issue/expiry date, plus which vehicle classes you can drive. (And a number of anti-counterfeiting gimmicks.)
This is of course terrible, but what does your sex, height, weight, etc. have to do with your ability to drive a vehicle? I’m not in the US, but my driver’s license contains none of that.
If you're a trans person in Kansas who had your drivers license invalidated, you can absolutely trust @marisakabas.bsky.social to handle your story with care. I vouch for her 100%.
Colorado borders Kansas. Here is a Colorado non-profit that helps trans people relocate, Trans Continental Pipeline.

What is happening to trans people in Kansas is a horrifying, dehumanizing breach of their human rights.
Absolutely disgusting.
Shame on Kansas.

People are asking what else they can do.
My advice is to drop your subscriptions to Paramount and Warner Brothers services and use that money to support as many independent media outlets as you can afford. Pick a couple and give them a try. It's critical we build a pro-democracy media ecosystem.
Jared Kushner must’ve been too busy.
