I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Trump Administration sees its chief foreign policy role as the backer of the far right international, all foreign policy bends to that aim.
The antidote cannot be pursuing far-right policy in half-measures like Starmer is or Biden did on Israel & the border. Internationalist solidarity or barbarism

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

idk how this is happening but even as statements like 'israel is committing genocide' are becoming more and more acceptable to say in public by people in positions of power, it feels like concern and support for palestinians keeps declining and shouldn't it be the other way around??

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

Stuck on O’Shaughnessy during construction. You’d think — and AI tells me so — Uber would see the snail pace of traffic and divert its drivers, instead we get 10+ minutes stuck in a jam. Tech should work to optimize life not just profits.

Toda vez que alguém fala de "ficha na polícia" fico lembrando do trabalho de mestrado do Henrique Oliveira, na História da UFBA, mostrando que no Brasil, a primeira forma de identificação CIVIL (ou RG) de pessoas negras no começo do século em Salvador era uma ficha criminal.
