literally how many members of congress have done this much? Where's the list? Which newspaper has a list of names with a checkmark next to them?
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he called President Donald Trump and directly voiced his opposition to the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

Our most-read story of 2025:

Outraged by the Jan. 6 riot, a vigilante spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.

It doesn’t matter whether or not it will succeed in the House. They should be doing it. They should do it and they should keep doing it over and over. It’s right and necessary to clearly say “this is what should be happening and if this was a functioning rational country it would be”
The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.

Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.
Trump on Venezuela: "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition"

Maduro is bad, his government has been bad, that’s not the point. There are multiple bad state leaders in the world.

The point is whether removal by force makes things better.

Whatever the goal—drugs? migration? conditions in Venezuela?—destabilization could make things worse.

Trump: "They emptied out, if you think about it, they emptied out all of their mental institutions into our country." (Trump doesn't understand the difference between insane asylums and political asylum claims.)

This is not the first US imperial atrocity for oil —let’s not exceptionalize it— but wow is is it awful. And the violation of Venezuelans domestically in the name of a sovereign borders they actually dgaf about.

As Aimee Cesaire put it— the price of imperialism is the empire’s own civilization.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.

Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate.

RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.

Critically important.
Rare survey done in IDOC shows at least 2/3 of incarcerated people experienced homelessness or housing instability in 3 years prior to entering prison. Illinois needs a statewide reentry housing strategy to ensure effective reentry into society, advocates say.

Home Depot must immediately do all it can to prevent
ICE agents from swarming its properties. They must publicly condemn ICE raids on its properties. Silence its complicity.
