Civil rights groups are preparing to take the fight against Texas’ sweeping voter suppression law to SCOTUS. But if the justices hear the case, the court’s conservative majority could issue a ruling that makes it even harder to challenge anti-voting laws.

Ukraine's Centre for Nat Resistance: Russia is set to deport Ukrainians from the occupied territories to Siberia, presenting it as an “industrial and economic project”.
This is a repeat of Soviet-era schemes designed to deport entire communities, including Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, and Chechens.

Miami Herald describes the successful performance of a drug interdiction operations by the Coast Guard. It seized the drugs and $28 mn in cash and arrested three. Compare with the Hegseth "kill them all" operations which seize nothing, kill dozens and cost the taxpayers millions in wasted missiles.

How about just plain 'conned'
A lot of you say "Gaslight" when what you mean is Bamboozle.
The result is that we've watered down the real psychological harm of gaslighting and we've underutilized a really fun word to say.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
