“In a secret deportation arrangement, the Trump administration flew nine people, nearly all of whom had been granted U.S. court protections from being sent back to their home countries, to the African nation of Cameroon in January…
The United States has not made any public deal with Cameroon.”

France correctly approaching the exposure of an international pedophile ring as a prosecutorial problem; not taking the American route of doing damage control for the elite.

Rep. Angie Craig: "Democrats need to hold the line. The Senate needs to hold the line. I will not forgive anyone who doesn't stand their ground at this moment in time and I don't think the American people will either."

"Future Generations are Watching"

Yes, yes...They certainly are...

""The scientific enterprise and AAAS must ...not be bystanders as history unfolds before us. Future generations are watching."

A thought experiment: what if the Atlantic had done this with another extremely rare phenomenon: a trans youth who regretted medical transition. Instead of finding an actual person this happened to, they interviewed doctors and invented a narrative with the most horrific possible outcome.
I was really troubled by this Atlantic piece. It was presented as reporting, but it seems more accurate to describe it as speculative fiction based on reporting. It seems like a bizarre choice for a journalistic institution to make. www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/the-...

Watergate pales before this.
The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?
At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files
The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

Nothing about our current moment is comprehensible without understanding that:

1. Until 1965, white men decided who was president.
2. for the next four decades, every president elected was either a Republican or a white male Southerner.
3. Barack Obama was the first exception to the above.

call me a carceral urbanist or whatever but i think that if you murder an entire family with your SUV, at the very least, you should never be allowed to drive again

Don’t worry, the guy who helped cover up the Ohio State scandal perpetuated by men all over the Epstein files is chair of the judiciary committee so I’m sure there will be fair oversight

As an American Jew born at the luckiest time and place to be a Jew, perhaps ever, I feel a moral obligation to call a concentration camp a concentration camp.
What counts as a "concentration camp"?

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the state can put a redistricting plan on the ballot this spring that could add as many as four more Democratic seats in Congress.

The referendum will take place on April 21.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The judge said the driver has shown remorse, but I don't know how anyone can say that's true when she transferred her assets to LLC's and her son-in-law to avoid having to pay out in a civil case.
