According to the administration, POTUS has determined that the U.S. is engaged in 24 secret, unauthorized, almost certainly fictional armed conflicts with “designated terrorist organizations.”
More conflicts than POTUS claims to have ended.

These maritime strikes are of course illegal.
The administration should release the OLC memo, including the list of 24 "designated terrorist organizations" that the admin has given itself permission to attack.
And Congress should continue to push back on this unauthorized military action. 2/n

A thread about Bsky, angelic historians, and black history. Edward T. Rhone faced racial discrimination in 1897 in Duluth. He sued under the MN civil rights act. He was born into slavery in Arkansas. I found Rhones there but I couldn't link him to them. Enter historian @lisachildsar.bsky.social
I had forgotten how history sometimes hits you like a gut punch.
Today, I hit a dead end on finding the origins of a formerly enslaved man born in Phillips County, Arkansas in 1855. The 1860 slave register shows 706 five-year-old boys held in slavery. Seven hundred and six

Okay. I know that Häagen-Dazs ice cream was always a bit pricey, but this is crazy. This is a "Manager's Special"- $1 off a 14oz container.
How come republicans and MAGA aren't talking about the price of groceries now?
Trump: "I'll lower grocery prices on Day One."
He lied.

Goes all the way back to a failed land deal in Arkansas, actually.
The Zohran hit piece was just a rerun of the worst Clinton stories from 2016 -- extremely sketchy right-wing source sends reporters on a snipe hunt, they look into it, find nothing, but run a story with the source's framing rather than admitting they were being used anyway
Sometimes you just gotta spike a story because there’s nothing there! That’s what editors are for!

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card.
This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press.
