Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

Iran's horrible, religious extremist, authoritarian leadership is more credible in its war messaging than the United States' horrible, religious extremist, authoritarian leadership.

Any US military personnel who carry out strikes on civilians and civilian infrastructure need to be prosecuted for war crimes immediately. Every last one of them.

💢 THREAD: Iranians form human chains around power plants and bridges as Trump warns “a whole civilization will die tonight” As Trump issued his most explicit threat yet, vids circulating online show civilians gathering around power stations & key infrastructure across Iran in acts of solidarity...

The same technological pinpoint accuracy that was used to slaughter children in Gaza now being used to slaughter children in Iran.

To strike 1,000 targets in 24 hours in Iran, the U.S. military leveraged the most advanced AI it’s ever used in warfare. Anthropic’s Claude partnered with the military’s Maven Smart System, suggesting targets and issuing precise location coordinates. https://wapo.st/46BFe1T

Infinite money glitch. Award yourself a medal. Pawn it. Repeat. Wait, I should probably delete this.

I was about to joke that Trump wanted to give a Medal of Honor to himself and then… he just said it.

It’s the logical culmination of unchecked power in American policing. Decades of violence and cover-ups diminishing the illusion of accountability and setting the stage for a lawless authoritarian police state. Everyone covering police brutality saw this coming decades ago and warned accordingly.

“We can still stop these abuses of power, but we need to be clear about what we’re facing. This is no longer a conversation about law enforcement or immigration policy. This is about authoritarianism.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/o...

If the military is cool with committing war crimes for the egos of a few men in power what makes you think this same military would stand down before attacking American citizens during an election?

If the federal government is behind this we’ve reached a terrifying threshold.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Trump gives a victory speech from the Oval Office saying he’s achieving peace and Israel immediately defies him by continuing to bomb Gaza.

Israel has continued bombing Gaza despite Trump’s warning that “Israel needs to stop bombing immediately”.

"There is a deep attraction, on the part of far-right leaders and movements, to Israel as a state, because Israel is an ethno-national state based on racial exclusion."

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

We all know where this is headed. We’ve known this for awhile and sadly active resistance against our own military and police is the only option we have left. The fuse has been lit.

If the unwavering support of genocide and the backpedaling towards Republican stances on immigration or the rights of protestors didn’t make you flee the Democratic Party what will?

Israeli strikes on Gaza killed at least 32 people, including over a dozen women and children, local health officials said Sunday, as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu headed to meet President Trump.

Once again Democrats missed the fucking boat. And for what? Like funding a genocide for Israeli PAC money and refusing until the last second to hold Biden to task for horrific policy decisions. Worthless fence sitting cowards.

BREAKING: Louis DeJoy has just resigned as Postmaster General, effective immediately.

Actions like these completely dismantle Schumers concerns that the Trump Administration will dismantle the Judicial Branch in the case of the shutdown. They’re going to do it anyway. Dems don’t need to sign the check and help them do it.

When asked if the Administration will comply with court orders on fired federal workers, WH Press Secretary Leavitt says the orders are unconstitutional: You cannot have a low level district court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the President…

Most dystopian timeline yet.

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

To review, the FAA administrator was forced out because of a business vendetta of Elon Musk’s, Trump froze the hiring of new ATCs despite staff shortages, Musk launched an underhanded attempt to hollow out the whole federal workforce, and then the first US airliner crashed in 16 years.

They’re picking Guantanamo for the same reason we sent Muslim “prisoners” there. Since they aren’t on American soil they aren’t afforded basic Constitutional rights. They can be held indefinitely without being charged of a crime. They can be tortured. They can be forgotten.

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."
