There was one singular person the Trump team wanted to kill. They thought they tracked him to his girlfriend’s place, presumably in a civilian apartment building in Sana’a. So they dropped bombs on the neighborhood and leveled the building. Reactions from the group:
“amazing job”
“Excellent”
“👊🇺🇸💥”

Prime Minister Carney's pick for Chief of Staff is one of the only Liberal MPs who is actually opposed to a ceasefire in Gaza, and who has amplified far-right anti-Palestinian extremists. Join us in urging Carney to drop Marco Mendicino: www.cjpme.org/drop_marco_m...

Is there a good infographic explaining the difference between leftist, communist, socialist, liberal, etc? Seems like the general public, and Poilievre, really need it.
This is embarrassing. Yet, this guy might become Prime Minister.

Yep, as I've been noting, INA 237(a)(4)(C) requires no allegations of lawbreaking, only that the Secretary of State declare that he/she has "reasonable ground to believe" that the person's presence in the United States "would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences."
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.

The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.

No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Rocky IV is interesting as a Cold War-era movie, because it wasn't communism vs capitalism/individualism, it was the fake unity offered by authoritarian institutions vs being supported by real relationships with people who won't discard you once you stop being useful to their agenda

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana

Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate.

But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win.

Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

A missing Indigenous child was found dismembered, but you probably won't see those outside of the Indigenous community talking about it. Even our children don't matter to people.
