Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny
As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

I had never heard of Eswatini until now: apparently the former Swaziland, and Africa’s last absolute monarchy.
Last weekend, the Trump administration sent 10 more people to an Eswatini prison, joining five other ICE detainees sent there in July.
None of the 15 men sent to the nation are from Eswatini. But they are now under the authority of its king.

A very timely take on the unedifying Riadh comedy fest, from a colleague of the journalist murdered by the regime there a few years back.
Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.
They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.
But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.
RIP, Jamal.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.
Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.
