I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

According to hacked emails obtained by @dropsitenews.com, 'journalist' Douglas Murray was allegedly writing secret draft speeches for the Israeli ambassador to the UN while also pretending to be an independent 'journalist'.

The Israelization of the United States of America

Birds of a feather, do fascism together. American cities are getting a taste of what Palestinians endure under brutal Israeli occupation as the Trump Administration arms for martial law.

A Compact for Control:
No self-respecting institution of higher education should accept the Trump administration’s unconstitutional terms, Robert Post and Tom Ginsburg write.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts."

On the pod, Oregon AG Dan Rayfield illuminatingly explains the ruling and what's next:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...

"Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, bitch” before pulling over and shooting the woman 5 times, the woman’s attorney said in federal court Monday" omg

I spoke up about Pierre Poilievre today and got this threat on facebook. Josh Levy tells me to watch my back.
No Josh, I will keep speaking out about building a better Canada regardless of the threats you make to me or my loved ones.

This 💯 for memes as well.

Memes attribute sayings to people that they NEVER said. It’s offensive.

Just because it’s a meme doesn’t mean it’s true.

If you automatically assume that anything any media outlet reports is a lie if a cop is the source you’re likely to be far better informed than someone who automatically assumes it’s all true.

This.

Never believe what ICE says.

Never believe what this administration says.

"if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.”

A woman who says she was just 5 when former Faith Life Church youth pastor Tom Keesee began abusing her is suing him, his pastor parents, and the church.

The son of church founders Gary and Drenda Keesee faces 32 sex abuse charges involving four alleged child victims.

Burbank Airport air traffic control tower unmanned on Monday evening amid government shutdown

The Sixties Scoop took over 11,000 Indigenous children from their homes to live with non-Indigenous families from 1960–1990. Saskatchewan piloted a program called AIM, the Adopt Indian and Métis Project.

Folk musician Raven Reid was adopted as part of AIM.

Hey there, @nytimes.com. The judge didn’t “decide not to immediately block.” She ordered a response from the government Wednesday and set a hearing Thursday. Let me know if you need help with this.

NEW: I spoke to the developer of the ICEBlock app, Joshua Aaron, about it's removal from the Apple App Store amid pressure from the Trump administration. Joshua will also appear on Maddow tonight! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Oc...

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

Here’s a good example of calling out liars lying about better city-building, via @taylornoakes.com in @cultmtl.com:

“What’s particularly annoying about Roberts’ column is that he’s using his position of power to reinforce ignorance. Shame on him for doing so, but especially the Montreal Gazette…”

Not be a sourpuss or anything—but do leading Democrats really have to rush to tell us that they REALLY want to negotiate with Trump, and that they’ll be “at the table” the MOMENT Trump deigns to talk with them? And God forbid they put “on the table” Trump’s use of the military or the Epstein files.
