SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

as "The Brutalist" echoed much of Paul Thomas Anderson's work, notably "The Master," so "One Battle at a Time" echoes with many startling influences & scarcely seemed recognizable as a film by Anderson. (did anyone else think this?)

Telling cartoon by @Stephff. Still, it is not as easy as it looks since #Cambodians are in specific sectors shunned by #Thai and #Myanmar migrants alike because of the very high risks like long haul fishing.... all this for what? Militarist nationalism...

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media.

The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters.

They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters.

BREAKING: The Cambodian Defense Ministry posted on Facebook that at 11:52, the Thai military began firing at a Cambodian military position in the Anseh area, using mortars and firearms. Cambodian forces exercised high restraint and did not return fire. As of now, the Thai side continues its attack.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

If republicans think it’s crucial to keep the government open, they can keep it open without a single democrat. They can change the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate. It’s all up to them.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”

Advocates say the Trump administration’s goal is clear: make the pre-deportation process so punitive that targets give up and leave voluntarily. The administration and its allies see the detention policy as a corrective to decades of catch-and-release policies www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Trump’s new detention policy targets millions of immigrants. Judges keep saying it’s illegal.
The administration says the sweeping detentions are a key prong of Trump’s deportation strategy.

Everyone is focusing on “Catch this, fascist”, and Ciao Bella being an anti-fascist song and reading that as literal. But these are both used in the video game Helldivers2 - which is a parody of authoritarianism. “Catch this, fascist” is satirical anti-fascism. 1/

Worn #onthisday in 1932 by Frida Kahlo to watch the solar eclipse at the Detroit Institute of Arts with her husband Diego Rivera in Detroit, MI; the celestial event marked a turning point in both artists' careers. Kahlo had adopted traditional Tehuana garments around the time of their marriage. #OTD
A group of people watch a solar eclipse through viewing devices, including Frida Kahlo in dangling earrings, a long skirt, and a long shawl worn crossed over her chest and tied behind her waist, and Diego Rivera in a sleeveless undershirt and pants.
