The next cover of the New Yorker, featuring Barry Blittβs βWar-a-Lago.β
LA City Councilβs City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.
Among the questions: βhow do you have this vehicle,β according to him.
Letβs talk about Graham Platnerβs Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
Man, I hate when when youβre sitting there, in a chat, and slurs just walk on in all by themselves like somebody turned on a faucet
Lunacy.

Qatarβs energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could βbring down the economies of the worldβ.
The first thing that crossed my mind when I saw this news was how convenient it will be for Russia if European countries slide into economic crisis.
Senior administration figures from the President on down are all shrugging their shoulders over evidence that Russia is helping Iran target US military personnel. All claim it doesnβt matter. There is no floor, nor any explanation for Putinβs hold on these people.
British Columbiaβs Freedom of Information system was once considered one of the strongest in the world. It was built on a simple democratic principle: government information belongs to the public.
Amendments in Bill 9 eviscerate freedom of information in BC. Access delayed is access denied.

This story is wild. As far as I can tell from the body camera clips I watched, the footage shows MPD special operations strategizing their forcible entry into private property without a warrant, based on the say-so of a political appointee with nothing more than a stack of print outs.
SCOOP β Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports.
Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."
Priorities for the US Commander in Chief.
Interestingly, all the accounts most zealously obsessed with finding βNazis in Ukraineβ under every rock are usually filled with overtly racist and antisemitic tweets and retweets.
This is definitely worth reading π
I tell @bostonglobe.com that "it looks like the Trump administration deliberately uses diplomacy as a distraction and as a tool to keep people dangling while preparing for war."

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
βI cannot recall in my 13, almost 14 years at this university, such a brazen effort to curtail our First Amendment rights on campus,β James Thomas, a sociology professor, testified.
Why *would* there be enthusiasm in the UK for attacking iran under obviously false pretences? It seems a weird thing to simply assume thereβs a big constituency for.
Norman MacCaig on Philip Larkin βI used to judge his poetry very unfairly...I admired his wit, his brevity... But I couldnβt like it, because Iβm a happier man than he wasβ¦β [adopts lugubrious deep voice] β 'Life is a walk down Cemetery Road' - stuff and - think of all the pubs you pass on the way!β
Zelenskyy says more US-made Patriot defence systems were used in three days of the Iran war than in Ukraine since 2022.

Mamdani - "There's no amount of racism that will change the way in which I lead.."
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I donβt know how the US is going to come back from this.

Hungary halted gasoline and diesel deliveries, and plans to stop transit of things "important to Ukraine," PM OrbΓ‘n said.
"Until order is restored, we will use every step and every available tool. We have already stopped gasoline deliveries to Ukraine, we are not delivering diesel either.
Am new to "lanyard class" terminology and confused about how the thing that separates me from the CEO and shareholders I work for (I don't have people to open doors for me) is somehow an elite status symbol.
β‘οΈ Russia sending election operatives to Hungary to prop up Orban, media reports.
Sergei Kiriyenko, a powerful Kremlin aide, has reportedly been tasked with overseeing the Russian operation in Hungary, applying the same set of methods deployed during Moscow-backed meddling in Moldova.
@spotlightcorruption.org are campaigning very hard on this, and I suspect @transparencyuk.bsky.social will row in behind them, Crypto donations work wholly counter to the intent of the rest of the Elections Bill.
